i am going to drag my bike tonight for the first time @ the local Street Night, dragstrip.
i am a licensed road racer and definately familiar w/ launching my bike off the grid when the green flag drops.
my question is... what kind of differences can i expect on a drag track?
should i line up in the blue groove of other car's tires, or is it better to stay off to the side and away from the sticky rubber?
i dont assume a burn out is necessary on the ol SV considering how sticky the launch pad will be, right?
i will also likey have had my tire warmers on in the pits... i figure this cant hurt. plus, i might as well save my tire from chicken strips.
a friend told me to 'go' when the last yellow light illuminates. i guess if you see the green its too late?
any tips?
thanks,
jSV
