  1. Sounds like Matt has someone to ride shotgun with him!
  2. Am I the only one who saw just the one lone white guy?
  3. Both dirt and pavement
  4. I posted something similar to this on a "sand drag website" and my thoughts were basically pushed aside from the people who run the circuit. Ive been all over the country racing at sand drag tracks, Ive seen WAY too many crashes, and time after time I wonder how long its going to be before some changes are made, and thus far there has been very few changes that Ive seen. I agree that too many rules is going to upset some people, but those same people will be elated when one of their own is involved is a crash and live to tell about it. Ive seen 5 crashes in 10 years that I was truly concerned that the person involved was not going to live. One of which involved a friends wife, and another involved a good friend. I cannot type well enough to explain how you feel when you load people into an ambulance with the expectations of you not seeing them alive again. The first place Id like to turn attentions to is for those people that have seen the video that Brett has recently released. If you watch what many of the racers are wearing as they pull up to the light will tell 75% of this story. You see tennis shoes, t-shirt, no neck braces, no gloves, questionable helmets, etc, etc..... At one point you see a person who is a well know racer take off head first on a lay down 3 wheeler with nothing more than a helmet, jeans, tennis shoes on. Ive personally seen that bike run 3.30 @ nearly 100mph.... Its things like this that will prevent ANY major sponsor from putting their name anywhere near these races. Id like this thread to stay positive and directional. This first part I think we need to talk about what we as racers can control the easiest and that is rider gear. Track surface, and track configuration safety can come soon, as well as track staff qualifications. One thing people need to remember, is that there are both mechanical failures and human error that can/will cause accidents. And its not ONLY you and your bike that can have these, there is a person/bike right next to you that with either of these things happening can instantly be in your lane! Things I would like to see checked/worn/enforced 1- DOT or Snell approved FULL FACED helmet (some will jump on the full faced thing as they think visors will fog. I get it, but there are things that can be done to prevent it) 2- Full armed skid resistant jacket (not just a long sleeve shirt) Either a leather jacket or a skid resistant material jacket. 3- Long pants- no sweats, cotton, etc... Need to be denim material or some sort of skid resistant material 4- Over the ankle foot wear... This is a bit of a sticky subject as many people struggle to shift with a pair of heavy boots on. I get it. But there are many types of "shoes" that are over the ankle that will provide good support but are thin enough to be able to shift without issue. 5- Gloves 6- Neck Support-- 4.0 and faster requires a LEATT or similar device! Slower than 4.0 a roll is adequate. (This is where people are going to piss and moan that the braces are 300 bucks.. GET OVER IT! You have a 10k bike.
  5. What brand of stator is it?
  6. Bud....Buddy.... We are all "buds".....right? Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
  7. I will reply to this tomorrow. Its late and I just got home. Im passionate about few things but track safety is up on my list. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
  8. Its never good when this shit happens! Someday, someone is going to implement some safety stuff at these races. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
  9. Then they will sit here until the new bike is done and go on there. Unlike you rustoleum painted junk, these will look great for years to come. Now return to the rock from which you crawled from under.
  10. Your a facking moron!
  11. Bump for Blake Riley........ You can look, but you can't afford.
  12. Brad, its cool your having fun and success.
  13. Im with loco. The other one looks like a total heep. The 06 is more but you are getting a CLEAN bike. Virgin parts are worth a bit more than raped over used junk. The bike is 7 years newer as well. It sounds dumb but the small wore out things will nickle and dime you to death where that 06 is still good and tight. Id push 2500 in front of him and see what he does.
  14. Nobody with a brain is going to text some guy who has 9 posts. Posting pictures isnt rocket science. Post pictures in your thread or your add will be deleted. Thanks-Managment
  15. need to run dem chain dryv sprokets
  16. Im sure he's busy getting ready for the Utah event.
  17. Quoted, but did they ever actually do it? Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
  18. 3/8 ID??? Been some time since Ive played with stock carbs but seems to me they were 5/16 ID on the inlet and 1/8 ID on the vents.
  19. Im with star on this one.
  20. You need to be a bit more specific with what MSD this is. Is it an MC-4 or one of the other stand alone setups, or what? A little info will go a LONG ways.
  21. I ran iridium 7s in my turbo bike. It REALLY liked them, but Im unsure how a NA gas bike will like them.
  22. Quit running that useless fucking fuel.
  23. You can buy smaller barbs
  24. Unless dumb dumb had 2 turbo bikes this is not it. The one on the 10 cub is the one that coryv on here has now. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
