Interesting to see a de-stroked SV650 (listed as an SV565) running around in GTL and LWGP.
Huge thanks to mom and dad for hosting a few hooligans fron the north east.
I could not have asked for anything more from the boys.. 2:11. Is no joke for these lil machines.. viva la hawk
About to board for the cold weather now. C u soon
Ties are interesting. The Superstock Amateur had a 4 way tie for 5th place.
Most important seems y'all had fun and at the end of the day that's what really racing and motorcycles are about!
Congrats! Get home safe and prepare for a long fucking winter.

LRRS < CCS < ASRA/AMA < AMA ProQuote:

I know everyone will get all Loudon defensive about it, but that's my opinion & I'm sticking to it.
Sooooo you're saying LRRS is the best?
">" = "greater than"
Shane Turpin set a new outright lap record 1:46.00 :eek:
Good catch Pete. I'm on very little sleep still.
not an SV:Quote:

PS: nice work LRRS guys!
I had a great time! As I said on Facebook, I can't thank Joel, Gino, Bill and Gino's parents enough for the help and hospitality! I had a good race despite a crappy start and managed to work my way up to and hold onto fourth place. 2:11 was my best time. I'll do an end of season writeup with the details when I get to a real computer but I definitely experienced the gamut of emotions associated with racing compressed into a few short days.
Ah, it's one of THOSE de-strokers... Cool. Knew they are becoming popular in WERA, didn't realize someone was running one in CCS.
I don't get it, how/why did he go for a smaller engine? isn't it against CCS rules to downsize an engine to fit in another class? so he made the engine smaller to run against bigger bikes? I must be missing something hereQuote:

No such restriction for GP classes.
By spending some serious coin, he's essentially legally running a MWSS up against LWGP machines. Hence why he ran LWGP and GTL but not LWSB. His motor isn't stressed at all by the build either, compared to some of the crazy Ducs/etc that run LW in the south east. The earlier variant in WERA of this was defeating one cylinder (unplug the injector at a minimum) but that only netted a cool sounding 475cc machine turning high 70s to low 80s HP, pumping losses were huge.
gotcha. while its not cheating its kind of a cheap way to try to win (I don't mean money).Quote:

In the SE LWGP class that has meant finding crazy expensive low production number Duc 1000/1100 based machines and further building the piss out of them. This is a way to do so for a MUCH smaller total outlay, and it's a common chassis so setup isn't a mystery either. He read the rules book and found the loop-hole, more props to him.Quote:

I'm liking the fact that this year's winter maint must include the following:
Fluid changes
Check valves
Done. Not crazy fragile, yet still competitive. I have time on race weekends to stop, relax, and not worry about fixing X or adjusting Y. It's cool.
That said, the crazy mad scientist lurking inside has been talking to me still, there is a loop hole or two I haven't exploited, HP left untapped... all I need to do is man up and throw a VISA in the right direction to start the second build...
here ya goQuote:
