First time attempting to drag race - I SUCK!!!
I now have a new found respect for all of you that drag race. I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but I had no idea how difficult it actually is to get off of the line. It seemed like everytime I was either popping a wheelie or bogging down the bike. I was only able to find a somewhat sweet spot about two or three times out of my 12 runs. I have a lot to learn. The good news is I'm going to enjoy every second of it. 
The strip I went to is an 1/8 mile.
My best time was 7.2351.
Best reaction time was 0.0479.
Best 60 ft was 1.8721
Best 330 ft was 4.9530
Top speed was 111.08
My buddy on the busa was killing me on take offs and on 60 ft times. I was almost catching him toward the end of the most of the races. If we would have been racing a 1/4 mile strip I would have beat him most of the time. However, seeing as how it wasn't he ended up beating me most of the runs. We had a blast though!
Here's the bike all shined up and ready to go.

I love my blue 08, but that LE 07 is one of the most gorgeous sportbikes I've ever seen!
