I will be there, should be good, I won't be sober for very much though!

Drag Racing - There are no 'start lines' on the track, you do it purely on the 'pre-stage' and 'stage' lights.

Go near to the start, and tiptoe over the prestage light, when that lights up, get your revs up, feet and hands where you want them, then slowly tiptoe the bike the next inch to the stage light.

As soon as both riders have the 'stage' lights lit....off you go. Lights will go red, then green QUICKLY, so be ready!

For takeoff, give the bike a few thousand rpm, and let the clutch out as fast as you dare. As soon as its fully out, pin the throttle to the stop. Then change up whenever is best for you, clutchless is best. Make sure you kick hard for 1st to 2nd so you don't hit neutral.

Don't worry about braking at the end, you have ALOT of runoff, and you won't need any of it.

Good luck!
