Class jumping, cheating and other misc banter
« Reply #30 on: January 17, 2009, 11:46:41 AM »
Am I the only one that thinks the speeds at Loring are not going to be THAT much faster?  I am thinking a little faster but not what people are imagining.  It still takes set-up and Hp, correct?  I do realize that with the extra distance, extra Hp in a turbo bike can be applied and more importantly the sharp corners of little mistakes (shift points, throttle control...) are smoothed out.  But do you all really think people are going to be pulling 10-15 mph out of their butts  :|  I checked with the guys that have run the 1.5 over the pond... this is why I am thinking this way.

None opposed..

Like I said in my apology to Bob and his organization, I know it's a start of new venue, run up in class, go fast be safe, we don't need to lose anymore racers.

If Jon or Scott (or any "Moderator") want's to remove all of the drivel from yesterday so be it..this as explained should not have gotten off track and I apologized several times and seem to continue to do so even now.

I respect and admire every racer mentioned for all that they have done and continue to accomplish in this little "Hobby" we call LSR, We may not like each other however that is fine as well however you must be professional on and off the track and yesterday some things were said (posted) that were not.  Again an apology..

Did make for some great reading.

Bill,

Trust me you guys and gals are going to go at least 5-10 mph faster, the guys over the pond have never equaled the speeds we as a group have done over here whether at El Mirage, Texas, Bonneville and Maxton.

They have had a few fast passes and the fastest ever recorded at 265.4 mph however that was done by Frank with a 35+ mph tailwind as told to me by a fellow racer that did race the same weekend.  The return speeds were much less and the average was less than 250 for the two way.

Their is another event there in Sept and if their is not a lot of wind or moisture is will be a good comparison to the speeds you folks will run at Loring.

 i can't see me class jumping for extra records, even if i had the money.the bike belongs
where it belongs.
 though the extra money generated is good for a new org.; it can fill
holes in the runway.

I will pay the amounts to run up in the motor classes.  This not only helps their coffers, but allows me to get those little pieces of paper that I frame and hang up to cover holes in my walls at the shop. Running on virgin open records should be a real hoot and if nothing else, you will be the record holder until they decide to hold a second event at which time mine will get smashed anyways.

I care, I aint gona Cheat,And as was said earlier if you do get away with cheating you have only cheated yourself and maybe taken the chance of a straight players record chance away. 
I am going to give it my best shot hopefull pushing the 1000cc A/F A/G Class record up a bit "Fingers Crossed" or blow the motor trying.

Its not whether you have won or lost its how you play the Game

oops I am a bit behind!

Sorry Glen I already looked in to that and was gung ho on the idea until I read the disclosure>

Be advised that this vest does not work on Electra-Glides, and it does not work on bikes without windshields.
