Glad to hear you're ok. Don't let this stop you from going back to the track. Quit worrying about the guy in the other lane until you get more aquainted at the track. I know you don't want to get beat by anyone but practice,practice,practice.........
Good luck with the bike. It looks like you chose E-Racers launching technique instead of mine...J/k

Damn man I saw your post on SH.org also looking for a tank and was wondering what had happened. Glad you a alright and the bike isn't messed up to bad. Like Streaker said don't ever pay attention to the guy in the next lane, thats deffinately a mistake. Good to see your also ready to go back to the track, just make sure you ride within your limits next time and SLIP THE CLUTCH
. Don't listen to these guys that say get wheelie bars, IMO bars are for bitchs that can't ride.
My thoughts exactly anyone can get bars and just dump it but it takes skill to launch which i havent gotten yet but am working on. I was thinking about getting brocks clutch mod to help me out a bit just can decide which route to go.IMO bars are for bitchs that can't ride.
That about sums it up
i have a few suggestions,first get the clutch straightened out,otherwise 60 ft's and 330's will be junk,dont let much if any air out of the back tire,30 + lbs will be fine (sticky track)
avoid the water box,and just a quick spin of the tire should be fine,i would also put the 17 tooth front sprocket back on until you are getting very quick consistant 60 ft's,high staging rpm is not nessacary,because if the throttle and clutch are working together the revs will do a rapid rise and 60 ft and 330 will let you know how hard on the gas you are,until you have pro level skills,low tire pressure,big burnouts and stratosphiric launch rpms are dangerous and hard on parts,the high tire pressure will teach you clutch and throttle control,and should cut down on wheelies,a air shifter is also nice to have you can hit the button to control wheelies rather then closing the throttle which kills et's

Didnt want to go airshifter. I have enough time to get my foot on the pedal before its time to shift and if i can tame my pride that should limit my wheelies. Ill do teh clutch mod and put the 17 back on and see what happens

Him one question about your launch technique. Do you leave the line with the clutch leaver pulled all the way back to the bar? If so you need to change that and start letting the clutch out some till it starts to grab a little and hold it there while your on the line, this will help you slip the clutch nice and smooth and you will not be so tempted to dump the clutch.
when you lower the rear make sure the swingarm and battery box dont hit eachother,and do like bluestreak said with the clutch,and do whatever it takes to keep from sliding back at the launch,when i had my 90 gsxr 1100 (9.0's@156 no bar) i had a rolled up towel attached to the but stop to keep me from sliding back
