SlowerThanYou

I'm not going to say anymore here. I've voiced some of my opinion in the Builder's Race thread & more of it is coming (not that it matters). That thread really belongs in the Roostin' Room.

Brad, I think it's great what you have accomplished & your openess to sharing the info. Glad you seem to be the flag ship for PRE & SRP. You are great marketing tool for them, they really need to learn that trait for themselves. That's just my opinion.

Just go back to this morning archives.

He didn't like the answer in the builder's race thread.

That's your opinion, but not much of one; boy. Merry Christmas

Why drag down 332s thread. At least he's providing times slips fo his results. To me the BS goes in the other threads, that SRP & PRE bring on themselves.

The PRE "Drop it" "Matt Drop it" was some of the best from the shout this morning!

That's your opinion. My stuff hits the track & Sheares set the standards for the majority of quickest ETs/records.

My stomach hurt from laughing this morning from the Matt & PRE keyboard show. PRE & SRP sure come from the same mold. Thanks Santa for the new Shearer Pipes. I considered 3 different pipe builder's & SRP was not one of them.

I didn't want to get into the tire thing too much. I think we are able to run the tires we do because of the clutch set-up. The photo in my signature had the largest tire we have run. It was in Gilbert this year & my Puerto Rico friend had it with all their bikes. I can't remember the exact tire, but it was a 78" or 80", 16 paddle stag extreme with 2 layers of kevlar. They worked just as well as our smaller 14 paddle Rippers. We will be doing more testing this year with the larger tires for better data. We new something was wrong when it was at Gilbert, but Angel didn't want to check the clutch. I picked the wrong time to do the durabilty test with the clutch pack. 250 runs ends up with broken frictions!!!

I forgot we used our clutch tuning experience on the hill shooting also. Sorry, not giving that info up. There's some tid bits in a thread here.

I can only tell you what we ran at Glamis, Dumont & Armagosa. 443cc Cub on race gas in a stock frame, +8 arm, with a 220 lb. rider. 16/41 gearing with a 2.86 primary was the good set-up. We ran 22x11x8 12 paddle extremes & 14 paddle haulers, neither tire was enough. The extremes were proven wrong when put on a 300' track. We had switch to a 14 paddle Ripper for the track, but never had them on the hill. IMO, the Rippers are close to the right tire for both situations. I would think you would need more paddles than what we use.

To me it doesn't matter how it's done, he's going to tip toe around it. He has his own little sand box he wants to play in & can't do a very good job in his own backyard. I don't really care for call outs & it doesn't matter who's doing it.

Someone already tried that & maybe more & met with deletion. I thought that stuff was what a PM was for. I guess one person had thump his or her chest for attention.

But, you always have the n2otoofast4u SRP HERE'S YOUR CHANCE......DO NOT REPLY IF YOU ARE NOT SRP thread. Looks like it will be both of them doing some keyboard racing for what it's worth.

Dave, Our latest post about each other have been pretty civilized & I intend on keeping it that way. Thanks for the compliment of the wealth of information here, some mine & some from other's (Thanks Wheelman). The intent of this thread is to help other's with something, I think is/was lacking in the sport. I'm happy with our progess with the 300' & only competing at 5 events. As with asphalt or sand, I'm never totally satisfied. I really wanted to keep the past out of this, but I have to answer your second sentence. I could go find the post, but as I remember. That I could or couldn't run a 3.9 within my 1st 3 runs ever in 300', I did that. I'm sure you disagree, but you & I are probably the only one that care/don't care. As far as how I represented things. Heck, I think that happens good amount of people on these forums, including yourself. I've had some pretty good hater's (around 10) of me from other forums. They have made threats/promises like one has done here. Some pretty serious stuff has been said, but in the reality of things. I looked up a good majority of them at the track, in their own backyards. After I introduced myself, we seem to get along just fine since & at re-occurring events. The #1 hater, I even had a couple beers with. I would afford you the same treatment as the other's & I'm sure we could get along just fine. I have made great strides in 300'. My intent on anything I do with Motorsports is to set the world on fire. That confidence/mind set has worked with all our programs, including 300'. I am & still a 300' underdog/rookie. I haven't set the world on fire, but I'm proud of what has been accomplished to date. We went to the big event in Gilbert, LA. this year. The class is different now it's 0-525cc limited. I think it was the biggest class besides, Bracket & a couple index classes. Anyway, we lost in the semi-finals not bad for severe 300' rookies. That was done with 443cc on race gas & stock frame. No excuses, we will hopefully do better the next time. As for the other two classes, we did very well with them also. You think you are fully aware, why I started the thread. It goes back to the presentation thing you brought up. I'm the only who knows why I started it & like I stated you were part of the reason. To me, that was patting you on the back. Enough of this old crap. If you want to continue with it, please PM me. Other than that, I hope you take the time with inputs or questions on this thread.

I'm glad somebody is paying attention, because I haven't seen nothing too impressive on the other side of our 150 slips. As for our 60's that was a somewhat easy transition for us. Hooking up down track was the bigger problem. That got fixed with the Rippers, LOL! MPH is probably last on the priority list, but we still shoot for a certain MPH. We picked up a solid 3 mph between 2 different riders. I think the top MPH was 83 for the 185 lb. jockey & 80 mph for me 210 lbs. There's ET to be gained with that difference/gain. We have been working real hard with R&D of the clutch/components. Plus, with a few other new parts. The goal is 1.20 something 60's next year. Now, what's your thoughts on this thread? Part of the reason it was started had to do with you.

Don't bother with the beadlocks IMO. There's some really fast bikes that don't use them.

At least he does something right, R.I.P., but probably not!

Thanks

Yep, use a bubble balancer! Got it at Harbor Frieght for around $40. You have to put lighter springs on it for the quad tires, Thanks Tedder!

I've looked a little, but what are the dates? All I see is a thread pinned for the 2012 ride.

I think I mentioned about our clutch set-up differences for full tree vs. pro tree. Plus, there are other differences in other areas; that's a whole different subject. My limited experience @ 300' there seems to be a trend. Not very many racer's pay attention to thier reaction times.

The game most always has to go to the homefield/backyard of the BS Artists (SRP). He has been very clear on that & still hasn't mentioned a word about a track. The Gator Nationals, Gilbert, LA. in Apr. is the place to prove your product. Heck even a nobody like me took my Trinity junk, as many keep bringing up; to the big event. It did pretty well heads up for a knife @ a gun fight. As for the BS Artists! Why play his game? I learned that lesson the hard way with lots of travelling with my junk. The bottom line is, he has to prove his product. Is he doing a good job of it? IMO, FAIL!

I like when the Trinity subject comes up!
