Hello!
This subsection has been on life support for years! I'm sure we have some amateur and veteran drag racers here whether it be a Friday night "Test" or "Take It To The Track" type; or a full out drag bike setups. I know it's not nearly as popular or well-respected as the 'track day' section/events however I personally love it as it gives me a chance to continually measure myself, make improvements and try to best my previous times while meeting other bike and car owners with similar interests.
I sporadically attend Cayuga (Toronto Motorsports Park) for their Friday night Test and Tune / Take It To The Track events; hoping to get out much more at the start of the season this year. Usually skipping any weekend where they have big races or formal events as Friday nights are just way too busy and you don't get many runs in. I typically also skip the entire month of August just due to how hot the nights are.
I picked up an GSX-R 750 (stock minus exhaust) at the beginning of last year, previously having a 600 years ago. My personal goal for last year was to get into the 10's. After 40 passes my best run was 10.863 @ 131.86mph; having knocked off over a second and increasing my trap speed by nearly 5mph.
Regardless of the bike you have you can run. I've seen guys on cruisers, Harley's, dual sports, you name it it's been there!
Do we have any regulars there? Anyone looking to get into it this year? The first few weeks in May when the track opens tend to be a great time to hot lap as most of the car guys don't seem to be out yet.
Here's a quick video I found on youtube from Cayuga:
