As the featherweight pro riders ALWAYS get the fastest times i think et,s should be non descriminatory to bigger guys or lighter guys.There (as i have suggested before) should be an index started for total bike and rider weight combinations.For example my total weight was 325kg with an et of 9.68.For every 10 kg greater than that add a tenth.For example guidos bike is approx 240kg and he is approx 135kg.375kg total =10.18.If terry(9.6 zx10 rider) was riding my bike at approx 70kg suited his negative index would mean he would have to do a 9.44 as an adjusted equivalent.For some they feel the only way to go faster is to spend but if true rider skill was to be measured with the above index et versus mph is something that could be used an incentive on bike nights as a prizemoney parameter like 60ft and reaction time.On that basis i,ve got some homework to do.Can,t react and can,t launch yet.ASK simmo,if redlighting incured 3 points i,d lose my licence every wednesday night.
