I was there helping my buddy with his 10 sec Vega and saw at least 2 C-14's at the "run what you brung" event. I never got to see them run but was interested in what kind of times they got.

BTW: here's the vid of my buddy making a 10.64 time trial run:

Yep, got 4 runs in and yes the single lane was a nightmare, I would have been fired at my job for that happening or at least not being able to fix it in a timely manner.

My buddy in the red Vega only got 1 run. You must have stayed all night to get in 4. I didn't see you run but I did see you on the gen 1 silverdammit with the blue accent lights. I also saw a gen 2 in the tech inspection line.

The guy on the 2nd gen came over and talked with me... he didn't pass tech inspection because of his modular helmet not being snell certified.

lol, yes the fastest Bagger by far!!  That was that last run of the night and I planned on hitting the exit and heading home hence why the bags are on.  The other runs were defenitly without the bags.  That run was a 11.25 if I remember correctly...  little slower with the bags on.  The funny thing was the guy on the Harley that I ran that time was **** talking before the run about him getting to run against my slow bike and the bags diguised it all the more.  I smoked him so bad it was not even funny...  He did have some good drag racing skills and left really good but he was no match against the mighty Concours.  I was laughing all the way home only because he was talking so much **** to my friend about my "slow" bike and he didn't know the guy he was talking to was a buddy of mine.
