Unhappy HD vs. HD on the strip!

Ok I go the the drag strip last night, 1000' track about 2 miles from my house and there's another 2000 HD sitting there of course I park beside it and the owner comes over and we start to talk. We decided to linem up so we get in line and right when we get up to the line it starts pouring, races are cancelled and the big race is off. You know that would have looked sweet goin down the track! I was also wanting to see how close we would run, the only mods he had was a K&N air filter and a power tower and he had the hard bed cover on. His windows were tinted and on the brow in the windshield he had "Harley-Stylez" wrote in a cool lookin font and in chrome, curved with the brow. It was pretty sweet looking and now I'm thinking about having it done, although I hate to copy off of other people's ideas. His license plate was also cool, it said "HARLEYD." Sorry this is so long but I just thought I would let yall know about my little experience.

Thumbs up Appreciate it.

Thanks for the post, HB. Would have liked to hear how you did on the strip, too. Let us know after you make a run.

Here's a few of my times from the first and only time I've raced so far.

Well my first time to ever race at the strip and I took the HD, mainly wanted to see what it would do! It was HOT(high 80's) and the humidity was high. Everyone definitely noticed the HD was there, got A LOT of looks! The strip here by my house is only 1000' so don't know about the 1/4 mile times. Here's a few of my runs.

R/T-.552
60'-2.396
1/8-10.629 MPH-67.09
1000'-13.587 MPH-76.25

R/T-.562
60'-2.408
1/8-10.644 MPH-66.88
1000'-13.604 MPH-76.43

R/T-.624
60'-2.378
1/8-10.625 MPH-66.94
1000'-13.587 MPH-76.18
