USCRA May 21/22 NHMS

[Kurlon]

Thanks for the heads up! Have you raced an EX with these guys? How's the competition, ie how many racers would be in a race? I haven't raced it in almost a year.

I race a couple years back. Good crew, depending on weather we had 5 to 10 racers? I was slooooow on my GS, low 1:30s and I got slaughtered by the top couple of guys. Guessing they could do low 1:20s?

I got my revenge in the rain though.

Yeah they require containment belly pans for all bikes. No exceptions. Does your hawk have any engine work?

Lol I have just seen some of those b pans. I over did it.

Just a stock motor. Am I going to get my but kicked?



This place is deserted.

Late entry was only $100. They must have thought everyone was going to need a transponder

Any "Modern" 125s there? I'm still toying with the idea of racing tomorrow...

Only one that showed up was Steve DeCamp.

Hardly.

Yeah, I saw him out there battling the other Hawk that Gino left in the dust. Maybe next time I'll enter the race and have fun with them.

This class is MEANT for HAWKS....
Period 4 Formula 3

The race was actually Formula 4. I'm still a little about it.

But I race, I win.





ARE YOU KIDDING ME




This is supposed to contain 3 quarts of fluid.

[Kurlon]

I think the USCRA requirements just say the crankcase contents, and at least he has the diaper in there? But yeah... my cake pan was a better setup.

I suppose USD forks and radial brakes aren't period huh?

Nope.

Thanks for coming out and playing with us Gino. It was good to chat with you and to have you make fun of me for the bunny hop. I will break the habit!! Hope to see you again at another USCRA event this year!

there was a Gs 500 with USD legs?????

Considering the Belly pans. I don't think there would be anything to worry about if the forks are right side up or upside down.



All Hawkers should race in any modification.
Lets name them all.

It is a relaxed event the can foster growth.





Congrats on the 2 and 3rd. Just nail down that first lap and you will be fighting the the lead dog position. BTW I think you are going to need to change your Race # on your sig.

[Kurlon]

USD forks are most certainly period, quite a few MXers had them in 89 already. I'll document the crap out of that if needed. I haven't found references for radial calipers or masters though.

Edit: 2001 is the earliest reference to radial mount motorcycle calipers I can find. Cars were sporting them WAY earlier though... In 83 AP had a Buell style rim mounted brake system if you want to go that route. Radial masters date back to 83/84 when Brembo and Cagiva were playing with them on GP machines so no worries there.

That said, Gino's correct, there is a GS500F sporting USD forks (Don't remember which brake system) running Formula EX, and no one ever questioned my radial master on my GS500E when I ran the same class.

Why, nothing says your motor has to be stock?

[Yknot]

Scott I got a complete stock motor I'll trade ya...

it doesn't have to be, but I've got quite a bit of work to do to get the firebreather back together

Scott I got a complete stock motor I'll trade ya...

trade a stocker for a stocker? ...i'm not getting rid of the 700. too many awesome little bits in there

[6 Fingered Man]

I have a set of cams, they need to be repaired though. Yours if you want them.
