    Any dragracers out there... Don't care which brand!!!

    I have a 09' zx10r and a 03' Gsxr1000 that I dragrace at Hardinsburg on US60. Anyone else do any racing on the strip? Just looking for a few others to race and BS with. Hardinsburg is usually "bike friendly" and it is very unusual for myself and my wife not to get 10+ runs a night. I used to race at the Valley but I actually like racing my bikes instead of sitting on them waiting to go.

    I normally try to go early in the season at the Valley before they start doing races....but like you said....You do have to wait most of the night. I've never been to Hardinsburg's to race. I'd like to give it a go out there.

    That would be great to get some new people out there to race against. I usually there every Friday or Saturday night early to get the "test and tune" runs in before the bracket racing starts. Good thing is that they are in CST so I leave here at 5pm and get there at 5pm.

    I live about 25-30 minutes east of US60, when things warm up we may ride out. Keep us posted.
    Got Roost?

    Wanted to let everyone know that Sunday looks damn perfect for dragracing.
    US60 Dragstrip in Hardinsburg, KY.
    Gates Open at 11am CST (SLOWTIME), racing starts at 12pm (Test & Tune), so no bracket racing. Just line them and run them, it's always a good time. I'll be there along with my wife and a few friends to knock off the cobwebs and speed legally.

    I'm interested in heading out there but it's a 65 mile ride just to see how bad I suck at launching my bike...
