    so you want to know if you can go 3/4 mile in the time it takes him to go 1/4 mile? You need to sit down with some physics equations to see what that would actually take.

    i think you might still have a chance by giving him a 3 second head start but probably not too much more than that. unless your banking on his bike breaking.

    Yep, he's got you hands down. If you give him a 1/2 mile head start on a quarter mile race, he wins twice before you even launch :D

    I think some of you are missing the details here... the race is 3/4 mile... the buell has to do the entire 3/4 mile but the hd gets to start at the 1/2 mile point and only actually has to travel 1/4 mile to the finish.

    BTW, you will lose bad.
