What are you racing? I was running a prepped Duc 900 (380lbs, 85hp) 10 years ago. I still have it and use it as a track bike.

I race CCS Mid-Atlantic (middleweight/heavyweight)...although I'm taking the next couple of seasons off since I won't have time to race. On the flip side, when I come back I'll be on an 09 R6 which will be built up. I've been racing an 05 R6 which is STOCK so that will be a nice change. Even stock I still went top 20 in every class I raced so I can't wait to roll out on a full race bike

I'll bring this thread back since no one's posted anything for a minute.. I went to Irwindale the other day and decided I would run my Z .. First time drag racing and it was an experience .. I enjoyed it and will probably do it again...

I'm a new Z owner and definitely want to start off with some autox. I've done plenty of drag and "balls to the wall" canyon driving with my 2001 AWD A4 but nothing on the track or autox. I'm older and wiser now but I definitely want to do autox and slowly build the car for the track while learning its intricacies.

So are there any autox events near southern cal you guys attend? where do I sign up?
