    Gear requirements are pretty simple if your not going to break 120MPH. Helmet snell approved within the last 5 years, leather gloves, and boots above the ankles. Jeans or textile pants will work also.
    Now if your talking over 120MPH (Busa, ZX14 and most liter bikes will break that speed in a qaurter mile), then you will have to wear full leathers.

    The helmets need to be snell approved 2000 or newer and all bikes must have a chain guard and working rear tail lights. Just an FYI had a friend got into the finals and got disqualified on a techicality of his tail light not working. Also if your bike runs 10.99 of faster (and many do) you need to have a lanyard engine kill switch on your bike or you will not pass tech and if you get through tech and later run quicker than 10.99 they will stop you from running. This is a very fun event but these small items can ruin your day if not in place. Some bikes will run 9.99 and quicker and than you need to have a NHRA lic. and or if your bike runs 135mph or faster you will need to have a NHRA lic.

    Good info! I would assume though that 98% of any sportbikes not lowered, stretched, or strapped down at altitude would not break those times and speeds. I could be wrong on that assumption though. Also I don't think that most of us going are that exerienced (me included). So I don't think that I will be launching that fast for the sake of my clutch. Plus looping out in front of a bunch of people doesn't sound like much fun either. I'm just going to try and be consistent and have some fun.

    Anybody going to take a Super-moto down? I am thinking about a DRZ400SM. Thinking you can run those lill guys pretty consistant.

    It is not to late to sign up with Grand Prix. If you are on the fence still give us a call and so we can put you on a list to get a Tee shirt and lunch. This does not commit you to anything. Just tryin to get a count to order shirts.

    If you have any questions give me a call!!

    See you there Chris

    I will pay the entry fee and supply the scooter if someone runs like that.
