This was my first time ever dragging a bike man, so you just need to try it.
I was also taking it easy as I didn't want the front to slap me in the face in the first two gears.
On my best run of the day, I actually pushed it hard and deep into 2nd gear, and when I grabbed 3rd, the front wheel hopped..... but I stayed on it.
I think I can bust into the 10s if I practice my launches and get my 60's down into the 1.8s.
It really is a blast, even if you don't run to the bike's full potential.
I ran a guy with a 06 CBR 600 RR who had more runs under his belt. He was getting off the line way better then me. But at the end, I just flew by him. We were talking in the staging lane after that, and he said he couldn't believe the top end I had. (he was only trapping 120)
I also talked to some other guy that was just killing me on his drag bike. He mentioned that he loved a slick and wheelie bars. I responded that I love riding to the track and then back home!
