Well sort of!! :D

While I was at R.O.T. they had a drag racing booth set-up that you could put your bike on and they strapped it down on a kinda of a dyno..

Me and a buddy with a 2002 1200C did a run!! It was fun, I know not quite like the real thing but it sure made me feel good when I beat him!!! :D

Mine
ET-11.743

60 Foot ET-1.905

His
ET-12.168
RT-.872
Vehicle Speed-122.21

His is a stage 1 with SEII. He said after the race he noticed that I was shifting a lot faster then he was, guess it was the 883 gearing and the .497 cams!! :D

Not sure how many, but I'd say at least 50,000 people and vendors. It's held on 150 plus acres east of downtown Austin.
