We had a half dozen bikes on the track for street legal drags ~^~ the best part was seeing one of my old friend on his Hayabusa .  .  .

Sydney, NSW, Australia. Our nation's most populated state has one drag strip: Sydney Dragway. There is also one closed airstrip eighth-mile about four-or five hours west.
Thankfully, our track management treats us pretty well.

We have a ten-round state championship with two DYO bike brackets: Modified Bike that allows wheelie bars and has a maximum dial-in of 11.99 and prize money; Street Bike has a lower entry fee, minimum dial-in of 10.00, trophy only, and does not allow wheelie bars.

From September to April -- the summer half of the year -- we have dedicated Bike Nights, second Thursday of the month. Cheap entry with one trophy-only feature bracket and as many grudge runs as you can squeeze in.

I'm lucky enough to live less than 15 minutes from Sydney Dragway. www.sydneydragway.com.au

I would go to Lions with some Bike pals with their bikes and "test & tune" for hours.  It would be like having yer own private drag strip.  Nothing sez you cannot run two bikes at a time to "test" and "tune" them.   Think about it............if ya get enuf folks, the cost of the track time will be less.  It seems it is a win-win to me.

Here in Colorado at our local track Bandimere we (the bikes) get treated like second hand citizens.  They did away with the pro bike class due to lack of turn out.  We only get around 20 bikes for the street bike class and it too is dwindling down.  Been trying to fight to keep the class going and show the track that our entry fees are made from the same $ as the car entry fees but feel like we are fighting a losing battle, bike racers keep getting treated like crap so less and less keep coming back.
