A All Animal Control and Rickey Gadson

Here is our run against 8 Time World Champion Rickey Gadson. Our launch could have been better and we lost precious time getting out of the lane. Hopefully we will get to line up against Rickey soon and try it again. Valdosta March 2009 Bikeweek Nationals

Bikeweek Nationals Update

The 2009 AMA Dragbike season got off with a great start. Lots of drag racers at the track and a good time was had by all.
We didn't bring home any trophies, but will take what we learned South Georgia Motorsports Park and bring it to Atlanta Dragway!
Here we are lined up for a run against 8 time World Champion Rickey Gadson. Rickey is a nice guy and I enjoyed chatted with him after he beat the pants off me.
Looking forward to Atlanta Dragway. It should be a great time for all!

Bikeweek Nationals!

Alisa and I made it down safely to the track and they have been doing a great job with the track prep and operations. It was crazy busy this morning getting everything unpacked and prepping the bike, but we managed to make 4 passes during the test and tune.



After the 3rd pass I was getting used to the new clutch set up and XXX Racing "rocket fuel" ( 108 octane ). It seemed like the front tire was off the ground for the first 300 hundred feet and it was quite the ride on that wheelie!

60' - 1.893

330 - 4.990

1/8th - 7.289
