    I've been plenty on four wheels, just never been on 2. Friend of mine was saying that the stickyness (sp) of the track may get the front wheel up like crazy. Also talking with other racers, there launching at 10-14K in order to pull low 10's/9's. Thats a little beyond me at this point and time.

    Every body says that racing is supposed to be fun. I've been racing for over 30 years... when does the fun start?

    Racing is alot of work.

    When you launch your bike, start with a lower rpm and start working your way up after every run. Last thing you want to to is pop a wheelie off the start. Just like everyone said, its the 60ft mark that you should work on in order to improve your overall time. Compare your time slips in order to see what has changed and why certain times are faster or slower depending on the rpm you launched at.
