    Re: Land Speed Racing Assoc. Coming to Colo, need some tips

    Mike, all the tech requirements are found on their website here... https://www.usmileracing.com/registration/

    You'll need all the basic stuff, like steering damper, metal chain guard, tether kill switch, safety wired drain plug and axle pinch bolts. Besides that, stuff like proper Z rated tires is a no brainer, and having a SNELL helmet and full leathers.

    Now, there is a lot of other stuff like making sure you have the right gearing for 200mph, I'm assuming you are spraying to be trapping 150mph, so making sure you have your tune safe enough to be able to handle a 1 mile run vs a simple 1/4 mile run, making sure you have enough nitrous, proper body position, etc... going 200mph isn't as easy as people think. And it is especially hard here at elevation.

    I plan on going myself, and this will be my first official event. I have a lot of experience on the street though with running a bike at those speeds, so if you want to hear my suggestions just let me know.
