Oh ok....1/8th mile times...I had to really look. Nice work, you both had pretty close reaction times. Did you guys try swapping bikes?

Well we plan on gettin exhaust work and gettin the bikes dyno tunned.I am goin to go with the Jardine because i aint made of money.Plus its the only one i can afford the pipe and the tune.I think jackson08 is goin drummer.But i am not sure.Then we will run them again and see what they do as track time and MPH go.

Too bad you don't have a real 1/4 track. I am not a huge fan of 1/8 racing. They look like pretty good times though.

Its the consistency that counts. Distance doesent matter, 1/8th mile is fine in my books, although I think improvements on time would be more noticeable on 1/4 mile times wouldnt they?

We do have one near by but they was a harley drag event at the 1\8th mile that we went to and it was free to race.We will get on the 1\4 mile one day but all that tells you is if you sh*t will stay together that long...

Hey if it is free racing how can you not go there. I just think 1/8 mile isn't real racing that is all. I have grown up on a 1/4 mile track and that is true drag racing to me. Some people don't have the luxury of the 1/4 tracks in their states.

Ya i get your point.I like both actually.I guess its because both tracks are the same distance from me.SoI can go to either one.lol.Florida's been good to me.The only thing we need nows is to grow some mountains and build some twisties.lol...

Yes that is FL though you can't enjoy the twisty roads at all. But it is only a short ride to GA to hit the mountains. At least you get to ride year round unlike us suckers up in the freezing North!!!
