Do it! It is actually a lot more fun than it looks. And usually pretty cheap.

I drag raced cars since I was in high school so the dragstrip is like a 2nd home for me lol. The Charlotte 1/4mi track is fairly new so I've yet to run down it. Just FYI for any of you close enough to attend but Lee's Performance is having his annual bike rally at Moorevilles Dragway on July 11th, if you have not been it's worth checking out.

170 indicated on my Superhawk.
SV tops out at at 145 on the straight at the track.

All my top speeds have been either on private property or deserted streches of public roads. Time and a place.
