Street Bob on Drag strip
We have an 1/8 mile drag strip track local, and I'm thinking of taking my Street Bob out on it and doing a couple runs. Anyone done this and have any advice? Should I lay low over the tank? Sit-up straight and hang-on hard? Remove Windshield or leave it on? Anything else I should think about before I decide if this is a good idea or not? Well, clearly it's not a great idea... but I'll probablly do it anyway.
Thanks

I used to run my cars on the full 1/4 quite a bit. I would gues my Bob would run the 1/4 in the 12's or low 13's - trap around 110? That said, the 1/8 would trap only around 60 I'm guessing? Shouldn't be anything to worry about.

I would think you would want to take the w/s off and hug the tank if you wanted to see what it would do on the strip.

This guy is running a 9.19sec at 77mph. I would think you would be ahead of a stock full size pickup, no?
