OK finch, you asked for it. I give you time to talk to your builder, I will not allow to bash my builder when I raced your builder and molested both his big DM's with 421 cub in front of 30+ people. From my view, one lost by 8 links and the other by 10. Brandon weighs 40 pounds less than me, I don't see how you could have an engine that would scatter shit with a rake.

It is wanabee's such as yourself that resist science and technology because you do not understand anything, that retards any advancement in this sport. All you can do is peddle other peoples products, any builder good or bad makes a difference in the performance of their customers bikes. You bring nothing to the table but shit!

A mid sized DM works for us, mine is a 14.

You better check in with your builder before you say anymore.

The Little Sahara OK ride is the one we are going to, good idea to have a builders race there too for the ones that can make it.

I never read any of your posts unless they are short like this one.

All of the keyboard racers with slow ass bikes are funny.

After looking at the Planet Sand records for one minute its easy to see that one rider has 6 records on 5 different owner/builders bikes and 9 records were set on 11-12- 2010 weekend and 6 were set on the 5-6-2011 weekend, so it must be all about the builder and not rider weight and weather conditions!

Who is tedd1's builder?

I will be at the HQ ride for sure and ready to race if you want. If some builders think I am calling them out, they should show up at the HQ ride and race. That's kinda the whole reason for having builders race. If I go to a big race next year it will be in Missouri.

I just about busted a gut when you said you do not race any of your bikes and one of your bikes you have never rode (Mr Spectator). How does it feel to travel all the way to Gilbert to be the head cheerleader? Need I say more about picking a builder than tunes for a 90 pound rider?

All of my engines will so easily pull the weight of a 225 pound rider, if yours would, you would not have to have 3 cylinder and nitrous.

The best builder is the one that makes all his customers winners at whatever track they race at. If I lay down 600 bucks for porting, my bike better be the one that wins and what his engines do at PS with a 90 pound crackhead riding means nothing to me. To spell it out, if a builder with a world record setup for a 90 pound rider sold me that engine, it would be worthless when it bogs every time I want to race. At the last HQ ride there were DM's bogging down in the middle of the track, Ill bet the owners do not want to hear how fast the bike will be at PS with a 90 pound rider from his builder!

How many people would like to see all the engine builders race one on one with similar sized engines with riders close to the same weight at next years HQ Ride @ Little Sahara?

Just a little info on the Sniper drag pipes that windycityjohn says are no good, of the best of the best 4 mill DM gas dyno sheets I have, Shearer did end up over 3hp short. I put those pipes on Brad Painters 465 gas cub, it dynoed over 114hp (can be seen in the Passion 465 gas dyno test video). That is 6hp stronger than any Shearer pipe had made. Brad (banshee332) ran that pipe all last year and won the BBDR 430 to 525 class championship easily with with no challenge from any Shearer piped bike.

I have not seen anybody get anywhere close to what Passion gets out of a T-Rex.

A T-rex cylinder will run as good as any other cylinder of the same displacement when ported correctly. At the last HQ ride, Jason Kearns 535 T-rex was as fast or faster than all the bikes there around that displacement. I made a couple passes on it, and it will easily give any 10 mill (610) DM a run for its money. I was told it has already taking down one of the site sponsors 10 mill DM.

Brad, I can see you did it again last weekend, congratulations on your 6th win of the year. With 470 accumulated points, you don't even have to show up for the last two races to win the 431 - 525 championship. Great job!

Brad has a huge performance advantage now. Why in the world would he want an engine that runs less MPH and stops accelerating before the finish line, those are the very same engines types he can so easily dust off now without even trying? When Brads bike would only run 96 MPH, he would win one race per year. Now that his bike runs 100+MPH, he has won 5 races out of 6 events, not to mention he has outran DM's on alcohol that have nitrous oxide. The rules state, no paddles. Just how fast can the 60 foot times be under those conditions? That is why he said the 60 foot was slow. Anyone that thinks a bike with knobbie tires that can run over 100 MPH, within 500 feet is not impressive. Is not being realistic.

Congratulations out to Brad Painter and team Passion for the win Saturday at Blair Bedford dirt drags in the open class. Brad took down all of the alcohol DM's and Twisters and some had nitrous, his 10 mill cub ran a career best of 101mph on gasoline. That is 4 wins in the limited class and 1 win in the open class this year, way to go Brad!

The Dynasty 350 and the Fronius Magic Wave are the best tigs in my opinion. I bought a Everlast 250EX, they are a killer value at 2000 dollars, that's complete water cooler and everything to make it weld. They have a one called a 185 Power Tig Micro, it is ac/dc with high frequency (20 to 250 hertz) and ac balance (10 to 90 percent) for aluminum. Its only 900 dollars shipped (air cooled), it would actually do everything I weld. There are some very good videos on Youtube from Welding Tips and Tricks on both welders.

I got a new inverter tig welder and retired the old Syncrowave 250, as always I'm trying to up the quality of Sniper pipes. Here are two pictures of some aluminum work with the new tig. http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab110/photosrp/WeldedwithEverlast250EX001.jpg http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab110/photosrp/WeldedwithEverlast250EX003.jpg

"The Snipers weren't exactly tuned at the track, but were on the on the dyno runs." J-Madd, if the Sniper's were tuned in on the dyno, why would the bike run 82MPH in Missouri but only run 75MPH at Gilbert in the humidity? The Shearer's ran 80MPH at both places. There are some stock chassis dune bikes running 80MPH in 300 feet with Sniper in-frame pipes. The Shearers have a small piece of tubing welded up inside the stinger, they must be ran in a over rich condition or the engine will burn up. Sniper's will be way too rich to build heat without rejetting when going from SBSFOOFSCP to Sniper on alcohol. If the Sniper's were tuned in on the Dyno, how did you know?

Thanks Chris, I would have thought the atv dyno would read higher, what is puzzling is that both dynoes come on the pipe at the very same rpm but peak at different rpm's. All of the dyno runs I have with your pipe peak at 9900 to 10200 and take no more than 3.5 seconds. Very interesting.

Chris, If you have the ability to put run 2 and run 36 on the same sheet, it may make it easier to figure out why the big difference in peak power, being the same motor and pipes, the only variable being the dyno ... Thanks Gary
