Planning on a Race for Real at Sydney Dragway (to race my nephew) Thinking it might be useful to run a lower rear tire pressure? Also jack up the rear preload? Any suggestions?

What does your nephew ride? I have seen alot of drag suspension vids on youtube, I think that would be your best advice(make sure its a name you know. Brock, Schnitz, or Gadson....) if memory is correct my launch was around 10,000rpm(i slowly built up to that) i remember the bike was easy to bog. It will stand up of the line too. Go easy at first.
Cant wait to hear how it goes.

Nephews riding an older carb ZX10. I think I'll have an edge, long time ago I know but I have some race experience. Unlimited class MX. This class a hole shot was real important as if you lost the start the rest of the field would nearly blow you off the bike with roosts. It hurt lots. I've always done launches off traffic lights but only to speed limit:angel: looking forward to next Wednesday hope for no rain. Quick Shifter should be handy too. Nephew has a new GoPro so I hope it catches the rear of mybike:sinister:
Sounds like its going to be a good race! How much time has your nephew had on a bike? Have you ever raced on a drag strip? I went to a plase that held N.H.R.A. and it was alot different than the street. You could hear your tires rolling and you boots unsticking from the track at the line. It hooks up way better! If the track is good and sticky try to keep as much air in the rear tire as possable. Only go down if it spins. Any pics of that zx10 for us?
