Just put rains on one of the SVs and bring that. See you Sunday.

Re: WVRC - Dirt track - 10/31
Wouldn't that be cheating? I'll never learn proper skills with all that traction.

Re: WVRC - Dirt track - 10/31
Hahaa, nope. Just your Marcels are cheaters.

There ain't that much traction to be had with rains on a big bike.

Come to the dark side...

Re: WVRC - Dirt track - 10/31
The rains were entertaining to say the least. Lose the front 5 times on the way to the apex, then roast the rear tire down the entire straight with the bike sideways. Repeat.

Re: WVRC - Dirt track - 10/31
I really think flipping that front could help.

Can we get Adam to bring his 450 with the trials tires? We can have a highside competition.

Re: WVRC - Dirt track - 10/31
I might have a 450SX fuel tank at my door by Friday...

Why smaller?

Guessing it might let him get his weight more over the front of the bike to aid with front wheel traction. Big tank rises quite high at the fill cap preventing sliding up on the tank.

Re: WVRC - Dirt track - 10/31
Bingo. The big enduro tank is awesome for trail riding, but for closed course stuff like this(and ice), I don't need that capacity. Found an SX tank cheap on eBay, they said they could ship it right out, why not?
-
Re: WVRC - Dirt track - 10/31
The tank will make it much more rippable on both flattrack and ice.
-
Re: WVRC - Dirt track - 10/31
But if you fill it you could get even more weight over the front :twofinger
-
Re: WVRC - Dirt track - 10/31
It has a silo where the filler cap would be. Basically puts the rider in the back seat.
-
Re: WVRC - Dirt track - 10/31
How big is the "enduro" tank?
-
Re: WVRC - Dirt track - 10/31
No clue, probably some standard oversize amount?
-
Re: WVRC - Dirt track - 10/31
The standard, substandard training?
Watch Tron sometime.

Re: WVRC - Dirt track - 10/31
Is it bad that I'm looking for xr 100 parts already

Re: WVRC - Dirt track - 10/31
I'd love to try this out but not sure I can skip my daughter's baptism this sunday.
Well, I could skip it, but I would need to set up a tent in the backyard for my residence.
Anyone thinking about racing next year? The site info is a bit limited as to classes/rules. This might be a cheapish way to get me back onto a track and competing.

Tenting is FUN. I'm sure the girls would love to join you out there.
