Re: Proof that drag racers *can't* turn
Drag racers are a funny lot. A buddy of mine is a straight-liner, not to be confused with a flat-liner, and he is proud of the fact that he has an eta slip of 140mph with his body sans bike... Ummm, not my idea of fun.

Rickey is an unbelievable rider with tons of support.

As for going 140 without a bike; you can have that. I drag race and could care less what my body would do without the bike. The wheels seem to reduce the amount of friction the body would take as it rolled and bounced along a VHT prepped track.

Drag racing isn't for everyone, but I enjoy it. Launching a liter bike at 7K is for a special breed.

Yeah, drag racers and roadracers. Only roadracers don't lift at the first quarter mile (unless the front straight is short).
