What is a Link Pro
This is one of the best ways to set up your suspension. Horse power means nothing if you cant put it to the ground. This link pro replaces your knuckle and allows you to adjust it to make the shock as linear or progressive as you want. If you have ever bought an after market shock, you should have gotten a paper with it showing a graph of the shocks curve. This shows how the shock reacts under various loads with time. The LinkPro gives you the ability to use that whole curve (just like the stock linkage) or tune in only a portion of that curve, to make it more linear or progressive, stiffer or softer. There isn't anything else on the market that allows you to do this. The LinkPro isn't a substitute for good damping characteristics. Is it however a very easy to use tool to help you gets to your "sweet spot" faster, easier, and with less money and time spent? If you would like to take your bike to the next level get a LinkPRo

Meet Crystal Dickerson aka The Lady Pitbull
BB. Miss Pit bull, how did you get that tag? CD. Well actually Ms. Pit bull is the name of my 2003 Suzuki GSX-R1000, I named her that but if you look at her she is very girly looking but will snap on the track!! CD. My parents Blair and Patty Dickerson started racing back in 1980 before I was born. I started going to the track as a baby still in my mother’s arms. When I was three years old my dad put me on a Honda 50cc with training wheels from my bicycle. In between 10 and 17 years old my parents used to let me ride their bikes from the trailer to the backyard. With no experience racing a motorcycle at 17 years old my dad put me on a 2002 Kawasaki ZX900R at Atco Raceway and I’ve been hooked ever since! CD. Actually they don’t give me a hard time. Some of the guys that don’t know me, they like to try me. They will line up with me on purpose and when they get beat they don’t even look my way, but some do talk to me afterwards, coming up the return lane I get a lot of respect from the guys! CD. My hopes are for us to get along and not try to compete against each other being that we are in male dominated sport we should be trying to compete against the guys which is a lot more competitive. It will never be another Rickey Gadson! Maybe there will be a female Rickey Gadson, Hopefully me hahaha. CD. I hope so. I’m not really sure how big the biker population is because I don’t ride on the streets but I do see a lot of female riders out there and I try to get them to come to the track but they look at me like I’m crazy! Hopefully they will come out and support the drag racing world and we can soon have a huge population of females racing against the males in this sport. BB. Who is D tech racing and how do you fit in? CD. D-Tech Racing is not just my racing team but also my family, my father, my brother, my cousin, and myself. I’m the only female is my team this is why I’m Baby Girl. We all work together as one! www.dtechracing.com CD. They support me to the fullest! My dad still drag race with me! My mother doesn’t race anymore but she comes to all of my races! CD. Well it’s a difference if you’re trying to take it to the next level, like myself or doing it for fun. If you’re trying to take it to the next level stay professional at all times and stay focused! To those that are doing it for fun; have fun but always stay safe at all times! Drag racing is a wonderful sport to be part of but you can’t take it for granted. BB. You a rush junkie aren’t you. I’m the same way but when you on the line and you see that second bulb light up how do you feel? CD. I’m ready! I want to just go at that point! Praying for the win light to come on once I get to the 1/4! It’s a wonderful feeling when you see the win light! I won’t say I’m a rush junkie I love to take my time and hope for the best! BB. I hear you got your own web site now and I know you got a myspace page. Tell us about how it came to be? CD. Well I started my myspace page about 4 years ago and I started doing website designs last year. I designed my myspace page myself and I keep it updated with drag results pictures and I try to inform my fans on everything I get into in the motorcycle world. My website is more professional with pictures my sponsors and information about myself where my myspace page is basically for my fans to send me messages with questions for me to answer and they can also leave me comments on a daily basis. Special shout outs or thank you? CD. I want to say thank you for all your love and support and if you ever have any questions or comments you can email me t Crystal@crystaldickerson.com or visit my myspace page at www.myspace.com/zxbabygirl228. I want to thank my crew chief my dad Blair Dickerson and my assistant crew chief my brother Ashon Dickerson for all their support. BB. In closing we were so impressed with miss pit bull that we have become one of her sponsors. I encourage you to take a closer look at Ms Dickerson and keep her in your prayers. Also, if you would like to see some good female drag racing check out the female championship sponsored by CMD promotions, for more information go to cmd promotions. Until next month keep two to the road.
