2strokes4u Posted January 4, 2013 Report Posted January 4, 2013 wonder what size motor was that. Do anyone know if having the wheelie bar wheel on the ground is better than having it about an inch or two off the ground. He left quick as hell. Quote
K&T Performance Posted January 4, 2013 Report Posted January 4, 2013 Jockey is Damon's son. (HRI) Motor is a stock stroke Cub.. 60ft in the 1.30's. 1/4 mile track is north of Shreveport, LA. Quote

Do anyone know if having the wheelie bar wheel on the ground is better than having it about an inch or two off the ground. He left quick as hell. Bar hieght can be used to adjust overall set-up. We have used it from on the ground to 2" above. When we get lazy & don't want to make an adjustment elsewhere. Wheelie bar height or tire pressure are quick & eazy changes to adjust how the bike leaves. Not speaking for the owner/rider of that bike. A stock stroke cub is going to prefer a low bar height. It helps keep the wheel speed quick for a high rpm motor. Quote

camatv Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 ss and 421's are efficent motors' also seems the gearing was way off also. seems to me at least the bike was all out of gear in way into overrev last bit of the track... that can also lead to a very fast holeshot.. ( with low tq) Quote

( with low tq) I'm not going to explain everything to make this work. The gearing might be a little off, but that's the way we would gear for quickest ET. Our background is NHRA drag racing for about 30 years. You will find, MOST heads-up & record setting racer's. Will gear their vehicles so they are hanging there lungs out well before the finish line. We follow the same approach with our asphalt ATV & even use it for 300' sand. We have been very lucky to have our drag racing background help us with our ATV set-up. Quote
