Default drag strip rules. IHRA track

at some point I wanna roll to the motor mile http://www.motormiledragway.com/index.htm and run my hawk just to see what I can get. Been trying to find the exact rules though as to what they require and this is what they say:

31. All motorcycles must have a working taillight mounted behind the seat or on the wheelie bars.

32. All motorcycles must have protective clothing according to their E. T.

But nothing is said about what protective clothing is needed according to the E.T. gee that helps

I'm assuming full gear, pants and jacket, + boots. but not sure if they want a full suit, or if a jacket and seperate pants work (my jacket doesn't have a zipper attachment). Basically no drag strip website has been helpful....

According to their Estimated Time? More gear if you're fast? Does that mean I can ride in a t-shirt and shorts if I pull a 18.0 sec time? :D

well I hope you wouldn't need a full suit for a 250 since i should be in the 11's at the least I figure full. but there's no clarification... guess I'll have to call. see what else I might need for tech.. and I got a stupid question but honest...


How do you do your burnouts??? like I know how but never actually done one... Do you typically get the rpms up a lil then grab brake and gun it or what?? I've never done one

Grab your front brake like your life depends on it.

Feed in throttle as you slowly let out the clutch.
