Well, the leg hurt a little the next day but not bad!!!
LOL....Nope, he races my ZX12R also, so I know he would not do that!!! The only govener on the bike is my right wrist! LOL

What did you do with your feet! Again, the Dad #2 question, how are you doing there??
Oh! Vince (Dad #2),
You worry way too much!! Feet to the back until 2nd gear! Very hard to break that habit. Not sure if I will be able to.....but at the rate I am launching right now (3g's) it is not a concern...LOL
Don't worry, I'll be carefull....I like having both legs back!

That is what #2 Dads do! They know more about "Some" things  than #1's do! No answer to question #2 (Which got me this ranking)??

I leave with my left foot under the shift lever. If I had an "Air Shifter", I think I would leave with my right foot over the brake lever! Yes I have seen the runs where the feet are dangling all over the place near the finish line! Does not look cool! Angi, I know that that was not you either!

Funny how I can/WILL put my foot/feet on the pegs "during launch" when I need to shift the bike but...I WON'T when I don't NEED to...until second gear

Exactly kcadby.... Before I got the airshifter, my feet hit the pegs before 2nd gear!!!
The brake doesn't even come to mind until that yellow light at the 1/4.....

I have NEVER been a rear-brake-covering kind of rider...not by choice though...too many things for MY little brain to handle I guess 
I AM good at covering with throttle control though

The rear brake comes from Road racing where I used it to control my corner speed and leave the gas on. The second part came from doing wheelies! Does this part sound familier??

Well....Went racing on Saturday. I made it down to 9.56@152mph. But what can I expect from a sorry ass 1.79 60 ft.
Long way to go....to get back to my 9.11 @ 156 (last year). I have to drop 3 tenths off the 60ft. I need to get some bigger nuts or put a weight on my right wrist .
We are going this Friday....This time I WILL KICK KZZ1 in the butt!!! No doubt!!! He has been just living this up while he has been able to tow me down the track.
Life is Good!!! (So are two legs)

Actually having "Nuts" gets in the way of being as far forward as possible )I have never understood why the girls bike had the cross bar removed and the Boys bike has the bar? :oops)

Swingarm...
Possibly...Spencer Cycle
Adams Performance
Trak Dynamics (should be found on Dragbike.com???)
