Nice one just had a look at your Facebook link, good luck with your racing don't you ride on the road at all now ?

[cockercas]

Thanks, no i passed my test mid march, went on a trackday in the july.

Went out with a few mates after the td, got fustrated at the lack of speed turned around and never been out on the road again.

Probably for the best because i rode like a dick with no respect for anyone else, now im older,wiser and actually fast i can see it was a recipe for disaster.

Intrigued as to why you might have a 'need' to do one - should I should learn too just in case?

I was drag racing, my tyres need warmers to get upto their operating temperature and i couldn't use them, it was also damp and they dont grip in the damp.

1st launch on cold tyres and damp track was sketchy the backend was sliding all over.

If i did a burnout i could get heat into the rubber enough to grip and launch me down the track.

1st time ive done one, loads of people watching i was sure it was going to go wrong.

If you follow my link to my race page there is a mini report

Its free in a way. These tyres would normally go in the bin.

On track the sides wear away and the middle is untouched.

Il save my tyres now and use them for drag racing.

I think it cost £15 to get in then £30 to race so its cheap fun.

I was expecting it to go horribly wrong infront of a crowd of people

It was pretty easy tbf.

You can do Run What Ya Brung at Santa Pod......I think it's around £27 for a days pass at a RWYB day.......

Looks like it's gone up a bit...... £10 for entry and £25 to register for track time.......

There was a jet car and something with a hemi engine in.

Ive got damaged hearing and it hurt my ears, looked around and people was covering their ears.

It was immense.

We should do a tmbf meet.

Its cheap fun.

Put the image URL in between IMG tags like this [img*]www.photobucket.com/image1.jpg[/img*]

But without the asterisk * then they should show here
