Redline UBLY Drag Day *heads-up*

[AlmightyS]

Its on the calendar but thought i'd give everyone a heads up as well.
Date is Saturday 27th.
I am going to trailer up and bringing grill, food, coolers and such. Eric is working on planning to lead a ride group to it. More details to come!
Mark your calendars! Should be plenty of fun to watch, ride or race!

UPDATE.....
OK, here is the deal. This weekend (9/20-9/21) is scratched (they booked a last minute event and apparently no one screams at their webmaster like we do here LOL). So the NEW DATE is next week Saturday, September 27. The gates open as early as 10 am and the test-n-tune is from 12 to 6 pm. Cost is $20 to run, $5 to spectate.

I am in for this too. Never been down the 1/4 mile on a bike, so it should be fun to beat up on some litre bikes with my 600. I will be trailering as well, so if anyone needs some stuff hauled up, let me know.

[marc_padin]

I am in... :ridin:
Steve please let me know if you need any help or what else I could bring. Is you wife also going (and before people start talking, the question is so that I can also tell my wife to come).

[flipf4ipilot]

i'll mark it on my calendar. need to get a hitch installed on my new (to me SUV)

[fasterbusa]

Wives are welcome.
Mistresses and girlfriends too! :ridin:

[flipf4ipilot]

Something to do, in between runs and food!

Bring cameras!!!

[marc_padin]

LOL! I don't know why I assumed it was an explorer. I do ride the short bus with the big door. I will ask my buddy with the fabricating shop, as he also does hitches. He specializes in Rigid. Do you want a brake controller too?

I should have the 2nd wheel chock in by then (Hopefully). If so, I can shoot out to your place the night before, and load it up, than just meet you out there. Or, you can come by my house on the way and ride with me.

Let me know.

[DemonRR]

Jon, you mid if i and my bike hitch a ride on the way out there?

[Flip]

Jon, you mid if i and my bike hitch a ride on the way out there?

I may have a spot Dave, not exactly sure yet. I may have to take em all up there :ridin:

[DemonRR]

thanks

[AlmightyS]

I will most likely have a spot on my trailer, unless the persons truck I am borrowing takes it.

[flipf4ipilot]

if i get a hitch put on by then i might have a spot as well.

[AlmightyS]

So Eric are you the only one riding to this? LOL

[flipf4ipilot]

So Eric are you the only one riding to this? LOL

His tires would be prefectly square for launches though after that ride, he might have an advantage there:laughing:

[Headlight]

I guess so...ah well, means I don't have to worry about planning meeting spots.

[AlmightyS]

what are the "gear" requirements for Ubly? I got a co-worker who doesnt have all the gear who is interested in coming up.

I think all he has is a textile jacket.

Last time we all were there it was bike day. there were quite a few harley guys wearing brain buckets, gloves, shorts and wife beaters. lol

They are really laed at ubly, helmet, gloves, some kind of shoe/boot, and jacket. I think they only start getting strict when you are breaking 9 or 10 sec

[fasterbusa]

Actually, we have been there when people with tennis shoes, t-shirts and no jacket or gloves have raced.

Didn't look safe or smart, but they were allowed to race.

Just to be safe, bring or borrow a jacket and gloves to cover the t's and hands.

[Luckystrike]

I'm guessing the rules will be a little more enforced this year with the new ownership and all. The requirements were full leathers if you broke 11 before, but was not strictly enforced from what I saw. You :sissy:'s should be fine with shorts and all, those are the 14 second and up requirements :laughing:

The 848 will, and so will my 600 :hi: I want to bring the Motard out more than I do the 848, so I don't think I will bring the 848 saturday. You will have enough trouble beating me on the 600, so don't feel like you're being cheated now :ridin:

I know you probably won't, but you really should bring your trackbike. :2cents:

you have the ability to bring 4 bikes, bring them. :D and not a chance bringing my track bike. theres no fun running a 11+sec 1/4 mile on the gsxr. more fun trying to get the power down on the 1000 and getting into the low 10's. plus, i wanna see how the new gearing is on the track from last years runs.

My best run was 10.34 I know the bike is capable of breaking 10, not sure if the driver is though? Yaz beat my time but do not think he broke 10. i could not comprend how that lil focker could keep the bike down??
