Brett de Stoop, the New contender?

[stay`tee]

Congratlations Brett , didnt get to meet you this year.. I notice in the photo taken on the salt, that the bike has all the bodywork attached (rear wheel area),, however in the photo in the newspaper article, the rear wheel is exposed,,, how was the bodywork when he ran the 230+  ,,, also what hp (rear wheel or motor) is this kettle purclating at ..

Nice, love them two-strokes

He must be using Orbital's direct injection technology . They say it's superior to 4 cycle .

Sorry John
Just three carbies
No fuel injection there.

After he did 217 earlier in the week , he was wearing a shirt that said  "club animal NAC 200MPH"

That would be "naturally aspirated carburettor"

There'll be a lot more to be written about all this but just for starters I have to tell you
guys that Brett de Stoop is the next big thing..... he's been to the last three DLRA meets
running a 1000cc waterbottle....he ran 211 last year, he'd turned up with new bodywork
after ditching the previous all aluminium job with a water tank in tail...the new fiberglass
stuff was gorgeous and included a silhouette of himself as John Travolta in Saturday night
Fever with "Salt Fever" underneath.....this year he was back, leaner, more "cowboy"
than ever before.....this is a guy who has sand cast and machined his block, turned
his own heads, tuned the motor on the dyno he built himself and put it into a frame
he built clothed in a body he built ,he's not just the real deal ....
he's the fastest I think because he ran 232 plus.....any comments?


btw, he mentioned he saw 240+ on the GPS

Can't say too many good things about this lad !

I believe this is the fastest ever
2-stroke sit-on bike in the world.

I held that crown for 20 years,
and I am happy to pass it on to
a man who does it all himself,
in his own shop.

Isn't this the LSR spirit ?

He was having issues with being sucked off the bike at speed and thought it had to do with the shape of the back protector in his leathers. They messed with it to reduce the hump and tested on the GPS track but I didn't hear how it went.

being sucked off the bike

At first congratulation to the achievement.

Well, I'm not surprised about this "sucked off" effect - he runs with this aero configuration into a "vaccum cleaner" - some miles slower than normal - but he run into....

As I said to Dan Warner at the World of Speed.....follow the idea of Joe Amo's bike means not that it will work the same way.
In Joe's body work are a lot of aerodynamic trick which you can't see......

By the way - Joe had on his qualifier run in September a peak speed from 284+ mph.....we done a computer calculation....on his return run he was on the way to reach a peak speed from close or over 300 mph.....awesome, too....

Hi Scott, good to see you back here.

you be right - when the tire works!

Interested on this point is the aerodynamic.

if your aero is right, your handling will work and than the tires can reach a much higher speed.

or otherwise - if your aerodynamic didn't work - the aero effect the handling - when you have hard to work on
the handling you stress the tires.....

so - better the aerodynamic is - you are getting a higher speed range from the tire....simple rule......

Due to Joe after the run in September - the faster he went so easier the bike stand solid - no issue with the handling anymore.....hope he can fix the engine for another go this year.

I see that Joe's bike and the Aussie bike have very blunt noses. Thats very interesting.

Fred,

to the blunt nose - there is a big different from the aerodynamic view between Joe's and Brett's bike.....big different

Thats Awesome!

[Seldom Seen Slim]

I think I've got a photo of Joe's bike, too.  And also -- didn't a shot or two of it show up in Rocky's column a few months back?
