Tuesday Tech Question

Question:

I have a fast street bike that I would like to take to my local NHRA track and run in the Test & Tune Bike night.  What rules do I need to follow just to make test & tune runs?

Test & Tune Teresa

Answer:

Test & Tune Teresa,

In section 4C, page 12 of the 2012 NHRA Rulebook it has rules for E. T. Motorcycle.  During test & tune or a competition race the E. T. Motorcycle rules must be followed.  If bike runs quicker than 9.99 in the 1/4-mile or 6.39 in the 1/8-mile a competition license is required.  Valid state or government issued driver’s license beyond learners permit level mandatory for riders of motorcycles 10.00 in the 1/4-mile or 6.40 in the 1/8-mile or slower.
