Is there a timing trick to help improve my reaction time off the line?
With all due respect, a motorcycle about to drag race should NEVER roll the front tire thru the water box. Always go around the water and back the rear tire into the water box if your going to do a burn out. If your not going to do a burn out to scrub off dirt and old rubber then drive around the water box and keep that front tire dry! If your going to do a burn out then absolutely use the water, not using the water just makes things hard on the clutch, tire, front brake, and especially if you are belt driven as opposed to chain driven..... When you do start doing burn outs don't do them in the water like most new guys. Just roll through it and then do it or back into it and pull back out it doesn't take alot....
