Do you run IHRA NHRA or another sanctioning body.

A local track runs IHRA and offers bike events. Is there alot of prep to legally run my bike at a test session for IHRA . I just wanna see how the ole girl will do in the 1/4 mile. Is there a program we can punch 104 h and 127 tq into for a stock gear ratiod 2004 flhtc with a 230 lb idiot at the controls and see what it would do in theory? Speed and tq is addictive and much safer than dope. I need a 1/4 mile fix. My guess is it may make a reasonable 1/8 mile ride nut doggyin 1/4 due to low hp.

Your mind actually gets sharper with racing, but with dope, it dulls to the point of morbidity. I have a fairly accurate 1/4 calculator (actually three of them) but to be really accurate requires a fair amount of info. But we could guess on some. We just run AHDRA and so that's the only group for whom I know the rules and then only for the classes we particapate. Most are similar and for street classes, gloves, over ankle boots, tether engine kill (typically just a pin put into a hole drilled in the "run/off" switch), Snell 2005 or better full coverage helmet and leather jacket. Rules are available on-line.
