1st dragstrip trip.

Although my father was drag racing bikes in the mid 60s and taking my older brother and me to the races from as far back as I can recall (gotta big-*** scar on one knee from falling on a piece of glass at Vargo around 1963 or 64) I never made a pass until around 1980.
1975 Honda XL350 w/Powroll 410cc kit, big cam and porting. I weighed about 210 and that thing would still pull like 8.50 on the 1/8.
Lotsa passes on relatively slow (11.50+) bikes over the years, took until I was 50 to make a pass in a car... My buddy let me make a couple of runs in his '66 Coronet, first run 11.90@108 lifting, second pass 11.80@114...
The part that sucks is now I'm running my 318 at low 14s .
Hopefully I'll be hittin' low 13s next season with RustyRatRod's "Frankenteen" 318 and 4.10s out back.
