No power commander? Get one. He'll sit on the pillion and direct you throughout the race.
Police assistance? If possible, start the race right in front of the police on a public road, ensuring that your opponent is aware of the police presence. In most cases, this give you a HUGE advantage and you should take the win hands down. Plus, you and your race bike will have publicly funded transportation away from the finish line while your opponent will only be able to watch from a distance and still have to ride home on his own bike, furthering the wear and tear on his ride, making him an even easier target next time around.
Hhahahahahah
