Weather for Oct 30th is looking good, so let's do this one more time this year. Maybe extrememarine and FlyingJ will both make it this time for a more fair Gen I vs Gen II competition (neither bike has intake/exhaust mods).

I'll be going to Lapeer Dragway in Lapeer, MI for "test & tune" on Saturday, Oct 30th. It starts at noon (I think gates open at 11:30) and runs until about 4:00pm. $25 allows you to make as many passes down the drag strip as time allows. $12 for spectators.

More info can be found on their website: https://www.lapeerdragway.com/

You don't need super-fancy racing gear to run. I do it with a full face helmet, leather boots, leather gloves, armored textile jacket and armored textile pants (the rules state that leather jacket and leather pants are required, but they didn't have a problem with my textile gear). You also don't need to have prior experience. I can walk you through your first run if you'd like and there's no pressure to be fast. It's just an open test & tune session. Just pretend like you're taking off from a traffic light then roll on to full throttle if you like (actually, I recommend that's how you start off until you are comfortable with the track and the process).

Anyone interested?
