Drag Racing in Northern BC

Smokin Sam · 01-21-2010, 02:41 PM

I just wanted to get a thread going about drag racing. I hit as many events as I can over the summer.
This little 1460cc sporty ran a 12.3sec @ 108 mph in the 1/4 mile.
We run it on street tires with no wheelie bar because that is how it runs on the street as a daily driver.

There is a four race points series in Terrace.
Kitimat has a 400 foot "Hillclimb" event on pavement that is really fun and unique.
Houston,BC has the only 1/4 mile event this side of Ashcroft.

This bike is a local favorite and has won the Houston event twice and taken the Terrace race and points series trophy once.

Terrace also had a "Bike Wars" event this year. We qualified for the event running against laydowns, nitrous bikes, a Busa and a B-king. We had to spank a V-rod to do it. In the picture I am running about five grand in third gear at Houston.

We need more bikes to run in the north!!!

It's my only beef.
Look what we have to race here.

Sure, summer, three months of poor sledding eh?
At least the motorcycle is in the correct place.

That is a buddy on a 750 turbocharged sled on nitrous gaining fast.

Those big inch parts went from my shop to the machinist for a little sweetening. I got them back today! (again) My compression ratio just went from 10.2 to 10.8. if I did my math correctly. I will lock the doors and pull the curtains this long weekend and get to work on my sh!t! I have not gone for a ride on my street bike yet this year. (a little cheese pleeze!) I can hardly wait.
Wow, what a season! My apprentice came back to work after 10 months of motorcycle school in Fairview AB.

Lite it up in the burnout box. This was a little practice run. We got rained out on the Saturday but the event went off well on Sunday.
