Eric - You should be able to get that. At stock wheelbase strapped/lowered, pipe/mapped, and -1 front I was running 10.0x's all day long. I also weighed in at 230 lbs without riding gear on. And IIRC it is about .1 of a second for every 20 lbs on a bike.

Robert - You don't need a lanyard if you don't exceed 120 mph. Running anything slower than high 11's you most likely won't exceed that.

Yeah, I am just trying to be realistic. I am a fairly big boy too at 6'2" 200+. Add to that fact that I have been off the bike for the last 4 months because of deployment and I haven't dragged a bike at the track since late 2004/early 2005. It'll take a few rounds to get in the groove.

they said my full CE armor textile jacket was fine (at pacific raceways)

(but then again, it's just the tech guys at the track, some of them don't know the rules for street cars yet)

Robert, just go out and practice launching by yourself. No pressure and you just get more agressive each time.
