Ultimateduner Posted September 26, 2004 Report Posted September 26, 2004 I bought a pair of old school fmf top end pipes about a year ago, since then I have been able to out perform t5s, fattys, Dmc, trinity, dg and a one sst guy. ( I've never lost a race ) I weigh about 165 pounds and I was wondering if this success is due to my weight or the pipes. Also I only ride in sand. Quote
sredish Posted September 26, 2004 Report Posted September 26, 2004 Those old school FMFs are good 'ol pipes. The weight doesn't hurt either, see how fast you can be if you lose another 20. Quote

Banchetta Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 Dragracing is 50% motor and 50% rider.....nevertheless, the old schools are very nice all around pipes.... Quote

Also I only ride in sand. Your success is probably due to the limited # of races you've run.Everyone loses a race now and then.Stalling,poor traction,not enough throttle,uncontrolable wheelies count as losses too.Unless your the type that only count races in which you get a good start or your a "Cherry" picker If I counted mine like that I'd be undefeated too. Dragracing is 50% motor and 50% rider. I don't know about that,I've ridden a few machines that were more like 90% motor 10% rider.If you could keep it down and manage to hold on,you were definitely a winner.

If somebody wants to race me, I never say no,( except for one time but I relized it was a joke). When I race I do the best out of three, that way there is no bitchin about why they lost. I'd say I've raced a good 40 times, but about 25 of them are that I race over and over again because they refuse to admit I beat them. The reason I posted this is because I wanted to know if this success is because of my weight or the pipe. If it because of the weight I might need to change.

You don't really believe that, do you????? I know a lot of people that'll lose even on their yfz450's. I'll ask them to race it and walla, I win the drag by 2-3 quads... Did the motor all of a sudden get more power when I got on it??? If you take 2 shees and put just pipes on them and race them, then swap riders and race again....Most of the time, the rider will win, not the shee. Riders make more differences then different pipes... Quote

Sorry I couldn't see you laughing behind the keyboard.... But anytime you want to run them, let me know. We'll see who will be who....ps I'll be close to your hometown in Feb....
