shanYE west Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 Just wondering who went out there and what bikes you were riding. I went out there but I had trouble finding anyone from the HQ. My bike was running pretty good. I need get used to the new motor and get some more tire but its running strong. I'm in the middle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFhce0CvNR0 Quote
bansheefreak Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 you need to stop showing off and not do burn outs when its time to race.. do your burns out before the race.. so more paddles on the way huh...????? Quote

Yeah.. I figured it was like NHRA where they light'em up before the race to heat up the tires.. but I found it don't work with sand paddles Yup going to track down some 13 or 14 paddles for the next trip.

sheefreak Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 I was there. I think it was your buddy who had chain problems.. I raced him twice, but don't think I ever lined up next to you. Do you have anymore vids? None on PS as of yet either. Quote

I raced him twice, but don't think I ever lined up next to you. Do you have anymore vids? None on PS as of yet either. Yeah that was him.. His chain ended up breaking his case.. I didn't race too much because I wasn't gettin any bite from the hole and by the time I finally hooked up I was just gettin into the whoops. who's bike was this? It was fast as hell. a few more vids... I'm still uploading some more vids, so I'll have more later http://s78.photobucket.com/albums/j102/fou...rrent=race4.flv http://s78.photobucket.com/albums/j102/fou...rrent=race3.flv http://s78.photobucket.com/albums/j102/fou...ent=Title16.flv Edited May 30, 2007 by Fouledout420 Quote

I want to say it was a 14mill cheetah I'm using 15/40 gearing , 12pdl hauler superlights with +12 swinger launching in 2nd. It starts hooking late in 3rd and 4th but by that time i was just starting to get into the whoops and I have to let off. Quote

I think you may have alittle to much swinger on that bad boy. or try adding more gear so it slows the tires down on take off. I dont think you are gonna want to add more tire, it may hook harder out of the hole, but then you will be hurting your top end! Quote
dajogejr Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 Speedrip broke his chain and cases? Shitty weekend for him, DNR also got him for no Sparkies.... If that was Saturday...you were about 100 to 200 feet from where I was on the drag strip...I was about 3/4 the way down, same side...by all the Tyson racing and Shelby Boyz crews... It was pretty smooth early...but by 2PM or so it was getting whooped out.... I had my 10 mil out early, but put it away after it started leaking coolant again... Actually...if you look at your third picture, on the right side of the antenna on the truck, you can see the back of two of the trucks. The one to the right is Brad Tyson's, to the left is ScottytoHotty's. And the bright blue truck in front is Mikes (sick paint job, flips purple to blue...) We were right in front of all of them. Later in the afternoon...that dip shit in the red/brown high stepper buggy (bad ass buggy) wheelied from one side of the track to the other, cutting off our friend John. He gave the buggy an earful... Quote

Well.. I'm just going by what my builder told me run. I set the bike up the way he told me from the swingarm length to the shocks. I called him up saturday night and he said I didn't have anywhere near enough tire. He said he run's 13 extremes on his bike and he has a few of his other 4mils running 14's on the softer sand. He told me if its a wet sand 13's and soft loose sand 14's. Quote

Now I'm gonna pickup Extremes, shorten up my gearing and launch in 2nd. I was running 16/39 and launching in 1st.... When I ran as WMSD Friday, I made a 3/4 throttle pass, then a full throttle pass. I was .2 quicker on my 3/4 throttle pass...but 3MPH faster on my full throttle pass. I spun the tires till half track till they finally caught up and launched me like i Hit a nitrous button on my full throttle pass!!! Quote

OH...sorry, my bad...I read that wrong. I thought you said the guy in the picture with the green bike (speedrip) broke his cases. I know he got a no sparky ticket...I was sitting front row as the Green SUV pulled by us, behind him...lights on and sirens going... Quote
