NED! thought that pic looked familiar. I haven't been there since about '05 with my 4th gen Camaro. They're still open til halloween right? I might have to try to get down there for a wednesday night before the season is over.

it's a shame that drag strips are becoming dinosaur-like. Epping is about 3 hrs from me, but i used to go for their Super Chevy show every year (and see and talk to Don Garlits as he hosted the show). Now that they hold a national event at Epping, i will at least visit it once a year. . ahhh, the smell of Nitro !!
I used to go to Connecticut Dragway in Colchester, but that's gone.
the closest to me now, is just over the New York border, Lebanon Valley (rather low budget, a bit amateurish).
sure wish they weren't so rare !

Just thought I would do an update. I just did the cam chain tensioners and found out that the bike has cams. SE 203's and under the Willey G air cleaner cover was a Scremin Eagle logo so I guess it has an intake kit. I wonder if it has a 95 CI kit? When harley does the 95 kit it comes with those 3 things. I didn't want to pull a head to find out.

I ran my 09 Street Glide 2 years ago at Summit Raceway in Norwalk, OH.
The bike had SE258 cams, SE race tuner, SE heavy breather, stock header, rush slip ons and heavy clutch spring. Did not remove bags or crash bar.
Best pass was 12.967 after air temp cooled down a bit. Have since traded the bike in for a 15 SGS. Gonna see what it will do bone stock here soon.

This thread is pure awesome!!! I live up in the hi dez and it sucks after they closed down our local dragstrip (lacr)
Never had my bagger down the track but this gives me a idea where it would be. I'd love to get a bunch of socal baggers out to a bagger night at the strip.
Our local strips are Bakersfield, and Fontana.

Guess i'll have to check when my local strip (Martin 131) starts Wednesday test n tune.
Would like to run my ultra and my dyna.
Fastest I've been down the strip on a bike is my old Vmax. Best time on that was 11.63. I think like 118 mph. would have to check the slips for the mph.

Sure did! I actually was trying to stay just above my dial in of 13 flat. But broke into the 12's and lost that round.
