Brock's front-end tie strap failure
10/23/16 3:00 PM

The little mechanism that you press to release the Brock's front-end tie-down straps literally broke off and so I decided to try a 1/4 mile run without the front-end tied. I only have a 4.75" stretch and without the straps, I had a big wheelie right after the 60' marker and of course my feet were still on the ground and so I had to chop the throttle off which ruined my run. I believe I'm going to have to stretch my bike out further because as soon as I let the last 1/16 or so of the clutch lever out, the front-end launched. Also, I was racing a 275 whp turbo zx-14r and that probably caused me to push it really hard. I was actually ahead of him at the 60' mark but when I cut the throttle and then banged it again and hit the limiter, he came rolling by like I was sitting still. Sometimes you have to laugh at yourself, this run was a bit scary and fun at the same time.
