OSW Bike Drag Racing Question

What are the requirments for drag racing a motorcycle there? Is full leather required, or just a jacket? Also, are there lane restrictions for bikes?

They are in lanes 7&8

lanes 1&2, 13.99 or quicker
lanes 3-6, street cars
lanes 7&8 Bikes(far right lanes)

I know they have rules about leathers not sure of official rules but I think its full leathers if your bike runs a certain time, but I belive that certain time, is jsut about what 90% of sporty streetbikes run. But not 100% sure.

And don't do a wheelie for the 1/4, I saw them trespass someone from the track for doing that

You need a jacket, but you can wear jeans. I believe they still require the jacket to be leather, though I'm going to call and ask because I want to run my bike but I don't have a leather jacket. Other than that they require shoes that cover your ankles and I think that's about it, besides your bike being in good running condition.

I think if you bike traps over 120 you need full leathers...maybe its higher though. I know for a fact if you're under that, you need a jacket, but it doesnt' have to be leather.

This from email I received back from OSW.

Greg,Thanks for your inquiry.A leather jacket,gloves,leather shoes that at minimum cover the ankle will be adequate for most street bikes .

Re: OSW Bike Drag Racing Question

Last I heard, it was 120+ like Dan said for full leathers. However, this is OSW we're talking about...
