(Non-biker question.) Would air shifters be legal in Production classes? Or just hidden?
(biker answer) I would think that if you could find a way to completely hide it that you could use one in production. That being said, good luck trying to hide all of that!
I think you *might* be able to do it, but boy is that a lot of work!
I would imagine that the use of an air shifter at Maxton would be much more beneficial then on the salt due to the short distance for acceleration. Some of us gimps in the sport have other reasons for using them with a positive side effect that it's quicker anyway!
As for 2Strokes original questions;
yes air shifters are legal. I don't think many, if any, people are using an air down shift at maxton. Can be used, just for the most part not necessary.
Gearing will need to be different.
Body position is much more important in LSR.
Launch is different (or should we say, you don't need to launch like a drag racer!
)
Like Jon said brakes are important!
Our track has a 2 slight turns so being able to turn the bike is a helpful thing!
As for general chat on setup & what to do, you're in a fine place. Talk & ask away & we'll all help as much as we can. If you're looking for a little one on one chat or more private chat, that is available too. Just say so & you'll be contacted!
When do you plan to come run with us?
Care to share (generally) what you'll be running?
Oh & FYI, we're much more open about things in the LSR world then the Drag world. We are very competitive but we help each other any way we can... even to beat ourselves!
Welcome aboard!
