hopefully a 9 second 1275! We'll see. I will run that in trophy class and my 02 hugger 1250 in street class since my swing arm is too long. Plan is a 10.99 on my basiclly stock hugger minus the 120 hp Hammer 1250.

The racing season ended with two first place victories from the Redline Drag Racing Crew. One in bike et and one in jr dragster. Although he was running a cr85. I actually made two qualifying passes with my son in the other lane. The best 2 passes of my life! It was crazy to look over and see him next to me. Good stuff.

Nice pics! These are the times your boy will never forget - you either...
Savor them - they're out of the house 'in a blink of the eye' it seems.

So... Have you got a 'govenor' or rpm 'limiter' on your bike?
If so - have you considered letting your boy make a pass ?

You have to cherish the moments when a dad and son can compete in the same sport. Congrats on the wins.
