Making these bikes fast

Never be in the sport bike class.
There is a reason it's lovingly called a "geezer glide".

White Dog - I live close to that drag strip, quite familiar with some of the characters who have run There over the decades.

Thompson was probably the most well known back in the 60's when I was running there. I also remember Ernie "The Farmer" Beswick from the north who came down. dumped his oil on the return to the pits after each run--just let it run out on the dirt as he was being towed back to the pits. Alan Starr, the owner at that time, did not like that. Ronnie Sox was the local hero at Piedmont. Darrell Kersey had a mean 55 Chevy with 6-2's. I particularly liked "The Wicked 6" but could never find out what engine he had but speculation it was a modified GMC truck engine. He could do that as he ran in Gas Class. There were many other "visitors" but their names escape me. Dang that was 50 years ago!

"Sport bike" same thing as "Crotch Rocket?"
