My Trip to Maxton, NC

This Morning I got out on the road to Historical Maxton, NC to the ECTA
(East Coast Timing Association) Speed Trials. Not an eventful or scenic ride, not unless you like fields and pastures and the strong pungent odor of sh**! early in the morning. When I left out it was about 47 degrees, so my ride was a little chilly to say the least. But I prepared myself for winter flight rules (layers, heavy gloves, mask).
By the time I arrived the temp had gone up a few degrees, so it was now low to mid 50's with about 5-7 mph winds.
When I entered I was really surprised at the variety of vehicles there. Everything from trucks, cars, motorcycles, to motorcycle powered Dragster/Funny cars. I caught up with the famous RacerX of Dark Horse Racing in the standby line. What a cool guy. We chatted a little about the Ninjas and his quest to break the record. He had already ran once before I got there. I think he said he ran 102 mph. I rode around to find the other 250 Ninja that was there. The guy had a black Ninja that had only 636 miles on it (fresh out of the break in period!). It was completely stock with 15/42 gearing. I sat around for a while watched others run, took pictures a saw RacerX run 105.57 mph. Now I was a little ways from trackside, but damn!! if that yellow Ninja didn't look like a big ass bike coming down the runway. I congratulated Racerx on his run in the pit area, rode around a little bit then headed back home.
