Going to the drag strip for the first time
I have a 2013 ZX-14R that makes 208 RWHP. I have a Shinko Hookup on the rear and she is extended 4.75" and is lowered 1.25 inches with a Roaring Toyz kit. I just bought a Brocks front-end lowering kit. Here is my question: how far should I lower the front-end when I get to the drag strip? Should I slam it all the way down or should I lower it to equal the current 1.25 " drop via the dog bones? Or should I lower the dog bones even more (the max on Roaring Toyz dog bones is 2.5") and then slam the front-end?
One problem I see with slamming the front-end is if it pops a wheelie, then it's going to come down hard with no cushioning, right?
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

if you never raced before then your first job is to go to have fun not to go to set a new record.
lowering the front to the point of hitting things to me is too low in my opinion.
if you are long strap it even loose but strapped and just pull out and shift it. after time feed it more power. start conservative.it is far better to find out what the bike can do than what you can't.
and have fun.
and get a steering dampener if you do not have one.
