RWYB 1/8 mile drag - TonyW - 03-07-14 Anyone done a Run what ya brung drag event? There is one coming up down here soon and maybe thinking about having ago. Its an 1/8 of a mile track What times did you post? Did you change the gearing? full or minimum fuel? etc Re: RWYB 1/8 mile drag - alan sherman - 03-07-14 No help for you.  But have fun, it'd be a laugh, especially if there are other similar bikes there so you have some competition! Actually I've got some advice.  Don't flip it! Re: RWYB 1/8 mile drag - TonyW - 03-07-14 Sage advice That's why I was thinking full fuel, for a bit of extra weight at the front end. They do say they run similar machines together so hoping for a 600 class. I can always out-drag my mate on his Gsxr6 away from the lights. Of course it may just be that he's a spaz on the clutch. I'm also hoping the shorter distance gives the Fazers strength, i.e. a strong midrange a bit of and advantage. Re: RWYB 1/8 mile drag - Frosties - 03-07-14 If I were closer I'd certainly be up for it ..... but on the Tiger. I can get that away far quicker than the Fazer and have had some decent scalps. Never done a 1/8 mile but managed a decent 10.72 on the stock Tiger over a 1/4 mile. Re: RWYB 1/8 mile drag - TonyW - 03-08-14 *cough* A little practice run, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ965TJg82s Re: RWYB 1/8 mile drag - Kosmic Kartman - 04-08-14 You don't say where it is. My Friend and I used to run these sidecars at a few events. 11 - 13 sec 1/4 miles  :lol and this Re: RWYB 1/8 mile drag - TonyW - 04-08-14 Its on a private track on the outskirts of Exeter  I went through the timestamp on the vid and the GSR ran  0-100 in 7.6 seconds and the 1/4 mile in 12.3 @119mph I was whoever was on the Fazer was a bit faster than that. You can see it pull away as it hits third. the 1/4 mile mark is about 10 feet past the first bridge. Re: RWYB 1/8 mile drag - Rikki - 04-08-14 Seems hard to believe you out dragged a GSXR600! I used to have one of the first (srad) ones & it did about 70 in first! The fazer feels way slower in comparison although the power is not dissimilar, the Suzuki revved a lot quicker. Re: RWYB 1/8 mile drag - TonyW - 04-08-14 Probably more down to the rider then
