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?Quote:

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

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

The race was actually Formula 4. I'm still a little:confused: about it.
But I race, I win.

This is supposed to contain 3 quarts of fluid.
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.

Nope.Quote:

All Hawkers should race in any modification.

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.
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. :D 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.
I would go if it was on a weekend. Wana come race moto with us this weekend gino??
It was. Sat 2 practice and race on Sunday. + all the old cool bikes and carsQuote:
