History

It was 1998 and i was just bought new Kawasaki ZX-9R, it was first real motorcycle. I was hanging with legendary Erkki Ryttyläinen and with his Pro Stock Bike in races.

Mid summer festival 1998 was coming and i didn't know what to do. Then i thought that i could try drag racing, anyway i wasn't able drink alcohol for four days. I got licens and everything just in time.

Some team didn't like the way how i came in to the pit, i had a big tent, microvawe, freezerator, big stereos and Kawasaki with tools (same ones which originally came under the seat of Kawasaki).
 
Elimination wasn't drive because of rainy weather, but i was something like fifth place in qualification. I'm still in the way which started 1998.
