guns4children Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 I have 2 local dirt drag tracks here and I was thinking about getting into it seeing as I only ride trails one weekend a year. My question is does anyone ride a stock cylinder drag bike thats around 250#s? I wanted to go with a 4 mill on race gas but not sure if it'll be enough to pull my fat ass.

I've never actually been to one of these tracks to watch a race but if the local craigslist adds for "drag banshees" and "full race ready 450" are an example of what's at the track I might have a chance with the ol 421 1/2 smerv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2otoofast4u Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Bracket racing has exactly zero to do with how fast your junk is, and everything to do with how consistent your junk it. Long story short, if you are just going to have fun, meet some new people, and feel the acceleration, then it is a perfect way to do it. However, if you're the "I need to be a bit faster so I can keep up with Poncho" guy then the bracket racing will become boring and you're pocket book will deplete itself in the quest to be "just a little faster". Be careful! They shit is like a drug! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
