    Talking Adding a drag bike section

    Just wondering if there would be any interest in a drag bike section. On any given Wed or Friday there would be 20-30 sports bikes at Bandimere.

    We can't get a Supermoto forum, I'd say your chances are slim to none.

    Hello,
    on Wed's is the Test & Tune Night
    Gates open 4:00 and you can run 4:00 - 9:00 as many times as you want for $30. Usually there are 20-30 sports/street bikes there having a blast.

    Fridays there is a street bike class
    Gate open 4:00
    Time trials 4:30 -7:00
    Eliminations start 7:00 pm

    Hope to see you there.

    Well you know the old drag racing saying, If you can still turn your not going fast enough.

    But it is alot of fun there, they have some 600's that are surprisingly fast, even some fast Hardleys huffing and puffing down the track and had some guy racing his snowmobile

    Bueller - I never said you tards couldn't get a supermoto forum. It's not #1 on my list of things to do right now.

    Drag forum might happen, I'm pondering.

    Re: Adding a drag bike section

    Sorry about the mis-leading info guys. The season usually starts April and runs through October. For a nominal fee Bandimere has been known to open and turn on the lights if enough people got together that wanted to run.

    Re: Adding a drag bike section

    Didnt hines go red or did he get beat I know he sat and watched I think it was second round.
    The footage they showed of antron was crazy when the chain broke he went flying into the windscreen and the whole upper flexed out. They have said that just after launch you are pullin 3-4 g's. I'm surprised this doesnt happen more as I've seen a whole hell of alot more red lights then faliures and almost all the bikes are pullin the front to 60ft it looks like. What to they run for 60 footers ?

    Re: Adding a drag bike section

    Andrew did go red but his over all point standing still won him the 3rd Championship. As far as the 60' times Antron was running approdx 1.083 -1.085 in Vegas. I wish I could get even close to times like that.

    Not sure if you know a local boy here, Korey Hogan who just got a top fuel bike ride. Well over 200 mph and runs in low 6's

    Post up more comments. Pics of events. I didn't think I'd get interested in going to the track and without IMI I probably wouldn't have. Now I have the necessary gear and am going down to PMP at the end of the month. And who knows from there
