28K, do dare race it?

Have never owned a motorcycle so tough. Have some slight piston slap or cam chain crap. Putting on a manual tension adj. tomorrow. The short piston skirts were a concern when the bike was purchased, also hate slipper shoes on the cam chain. The CBR250RR with it's geared cams would have been ideal..

My guess is 1/4 of 1300 = 325 miles + burnouts/tire slip and pit miles = 400 miles! lol
(is my math right...my head hurts)

1/4 mile is 1320' plus the 1000+ feet of shut down, than the return road all the way back to the staging lanes is usealy the same distance shut down + the 1/4 mile

So after the burnout, 1/4 mile, shutdown are, and the return road equals close to a mile.
