Drag racing tomarow!

I'm thinking 13.5 with a good rider. Don't drop the pressure on that tire as it's tubeless and relies on pressure to keep the bead seated. We want to see you here tomorrow. :) Plus the rear will get "squirmy". Just heat it up good and don't wait to stage, push your opponent and make him look bad. Be the first to pre-stage, it makes you in control. Keep the front tire out of the water and back into it. If the track is dirty do a dry hop to get the tire clean if your clutch can stand it, plus if done right, it intimidates the heck out of your opponent.

Line up on the rubber on the track from the cars, it's your friend even though it looks slick. Worry about you, not your opponent and leave after the last yellow is full bright. Bikes react way faster than cars off the line. Know your clutch and stage rpm. If this is your first time at the track, gradually up your RPM and clutch release until you can maximize both. It's a learning experience.

I have more for you, but let me know how it goes and ask me questions. Last time I raced at Bandimere I saw a rider get paralyzed on a bike he was not ready for. Just be cool and be safe, no jitters allowed.
