Anyone want to plan a firebird trip? To race...

macarollo · 06-07-2010, 11:54 PM

I have never raced at a dragstrip before and would like to try.

Is anyone else interested in riding from MH to go race and then ride home afterwards? I don't have a date in mind, but I think it would be fun to get a group of us to go race.

Pimpit · 06-08-2010, 06:00 AM

The 25th is the next race for sportbikes unless you want to do the fox hunt. Alot of us will be there. Food fun and friends

shiver me timber · 06-08-2010, 09:47 AM

I'd probably be down, so would 2wheelfanatic most likely... I probably won't race but have never been, so it be nice go up and hang out and watch...

2WheelFanatic · 06-08-2010, 10:05 AM

Hellz yea. It will be fun

macarollo · 06-08-2010, 10:46 AM

Lets plan on Friday, June 25. I don't know what time we need to be there in order to race (for those of us who want to).

I have never drag raced before (heck I've never even done a wheelie before) so I probably need to practice launching my bike before I go. My bike is slow (sv650), but it will be fun I think.

THUMPER · 06-08-2010, 10:54 AM

so i got a question.. i know if you do over 120 you gotta have leather pants... but because im broke like our government.. if i dont do over 120, even tho my bike can do it( if i can launch) do i still gotta wear leather pants?

shiver me timber · 06-08-2010, 11:36 AM

Got remember, there was a thread on here saying something about those racing needing kevlar gloves too, right ?

get with someone and learn to wheelie a little or you might end up on your back

You only have to wear leather pants if You run over 120

vene09 · 06-09-2010, 01:31 AM

I'm guessing there are entry fees! Anyone know how much it cost to race?

Pimpit · 06-09-2010, 01:52 AM

$25 to race* plus a $6 one time a year charge for your race #, $12 to watch, and I thnk $5 fir kids 12 ad under

*except for certain events which you can find he price at www.firebirdonline.com

scott did you read that i already answered the question asked on these or did you just want to be in the loop and repeat what i said lol

WhitWhit55 · 06-09-2010, 12:16 PM

pimpit you didnt see it happen.. you saw a video...

Technically seeing video is still seeing it. Besides that comment wasn't just about you. I have seen more than 1 person loop a bike, You just happen to be the most recent.

No I posted that because You put kevlar kevlar gloves are a requirement, and I was stating that it is kevlar lined or palm sliders

Pimpit · 06-09-2010, 02:58 PM

And I did see the bike in motion from up top I just didn't see the part of who or how the bike ended up without a rider until I saw the vid. I was up in line waiting to get in which has a ecent view of the track

spelling

and who shot the vid?

Pimpit · 06-09-2010, 11:39 PM

I never said anything about who shot the video. Why is that even a question. The point was to go practice and get comfy on your bike. I was agreeing with Don that it is important to get used to launching your bike so you don't end up on your @$$

WhitWhit55 · 06-16-2010, 11:53 AM

seeing it in person is way different then seeing in on video.... you didnt see me up in the air.. nice try...

Pimpit · 06-16-2010, 01:55 PM

Wow, what's the whole point in this argument? The whole point of the comment had nothing to do with you, and you're not the only person that I know that has looped their shit. The point of the comment was for this guy to go get comfortable on his bike so he doesn't loop it.

Anyways I am done going back and forth about petty crap. Good luck Maccarollo. hope to see you out there soon

WhitWhit55 · 06-20-2010, 09:45 PM

okay dumb ###t... who the ###k else on this forum looped there bike? your comment about seeing someone loop there bike was unnecessary. that is my fucking point..

im sorry Macarollo i dont mean to change the thread... its still fresh and when some ###k tard brings it up i get pissed...

e11charlie · 06-20-2010, 10:02 PM

I might be interested in going to the races on the 25th, never been. Doesnt seem like anyone wants to do an over niter ride. Depends on what time they start though. The wife usually doesnt get off until 1700.

macarollo · 06-20-2010, 10:14 PM

I cannot go any longer

. Maybe next time.

Tits McGee · 06-20-2010, 11:49 PM

we will be out the 25th and 26th

we hope to have the bike done tomorrow

and i might run sled on sat

Wow what's with the name calling? I never said it was anybody on this forum, though I am more than sure atleast a couple of people on here have looped their bikes. I was riding long before I joined this group and have ridden and still ride with alot of people that aren't on here, and Yes I have witnessed a few of them loop their bikes.

So before you start name calling remember there is life outside BRN and you weren't the first and won't be the last to loop a bike

july 10th test n tune day

dragracer6670 · 06-21-2010, 10:36 PM

There's a street bike race this Friday 6-25-10 @ Firebird opens @ 2pm
racing @ 6pm
FYI-If your bike runs 110 mph or slower you need long pants, boots, helmet
(M2005 or newer) gloves with rivets or kevlar
bikes faster than 110 you'll need leathers (that zip together) boots, helmet and gloves with rivets or kevlar

Street Bike class is very popular and alot of fun if you can't make that one try July 23 or 31

I thought it was 120

LckyTylr · 06-22-2010, 07:32 AM

I wish I still had my R6, when I first got that, there wasn't another brand of 600 that could touch it, hell I even beat a few of the 1000's. Never got a chance to drag it for time though, always just illegal stuff out in the middle of nowhere. I have leathers and everything, just not a bike that's drag worthy. Let's see, who in the valley will rent me a liter bike for a weekend with really good insurance? :-)

I don't have a drag worthy bike either, but I still think it would be fun (race against yourself- trying to beat your time).... even though I can't go this time, I will go another time though.

no money

LckyTylr · 06-22-2010, 01:04 PM

Well, when I say drag worthy, I don't mean top fuel, I mean that I'll have topped out at top speed and still have half the track length to go, not willing to run my bike at redline just to finish, I don't have the gearing for drag I don't think, and I don't have the motor to mess with gearing. My bike is MEANT for scaring the hell out of people down town when I'm hooliganizing with all the locals when they are out shopping the saturday market. :-)
