I've never drag raced a car and have wanted to hit the track. If it's on Sunday the 21st or 28th I can make it. I voted for the 21st.

Just got back from there, they had so many helmets in stock plus good price. Their price was little more lower than what website shows.

Got this silver one 50 bucks for helmet not bad , make sure you have to ask them if it's sale because most of helmet does have regular price sticker on, even one i bought has regular sticker price.

If you are taking your car to drag racing or track, i would go with triple. But if you drive your car DD, i would go with twin. I don't know

the twin is spec'd up to 700 ft lbs of torque. as much as i like to mod, i'll never that close, maybe 600 but not 700. i cant find any review for the triple but i know the twin works very well and is easy to drive.

Well I don't know about the OS clutch, but this Spec isn't bad. It takes a good bit to get used to it, but the pedal feel is good and it BITES. It's rated to 1100 ft/lb.

Great news! I got a 2nd flat in 2 weeks! This time, the nail punctured too close to the sidewall so I can't even get it repaired. Awesome.

I guess the later days will work best for me, since I now have to get new tires.
