Brad Burns- AMA - DQ'd for cheating

How does a "stand-up guy" do something like that? It's not exactly like finding a $50 bill on the floor and putting it in your pocket in a moment of weakness. This shit actually takes planning.

 

Actually Rob it happened at Miller Wera west this year too! 600 novice winner

Plus honestly there's a Lotttttttt of cheaters in AMA SS too!! I know more thana few running YEC cams etc. no reason for it. My R6 100% legal (yes even the diverter plate installed oem correct!) and yet always top 10 traps. I don't get why SO many "dads" allow it... No need and it hurts kids more than anyone when caught!!

Oh well some folks always think they can buy their kid better things.

 

3 words...preprinted protest forms.

 

I'll be cheating this weekend at Roebling....

 

Lol! like you guys didn't notice at miller that the 600 novices were pretty close but a guy weighing 100 ONE HUNDRED POUNDS heavier than an edr r6 could yard it by 10+ bike lengths??? (my same r6 guy was winning novice before that wknd)

Yeah a 250lb guy on a "stock" gsxr600 can pull out of draft and put 10 bikes on a 165lb kid on a top built R6..... Lol

Oh wait nope..next wknd our exact thoughts were proven true at AFM when that guy was found running a 750 engine!!

Btw this novice has an AFM expert and even AMA license..... while racing Wera novice.

:up:

 

This.

If that motor was being run at the regionals that's B.S.

Lotta guys riding their asses off to bring game to that class the right way - no reason to take away from them.

Cheating sucks.

 

Agreed. I don't know what everyone else is running in the class, but we had a full SS legal motor/bike at Mid-O last year that Kyle (Wyman) had into the top 10 in DSB race 1 and 3rd fastest through the traps. It was about as much as rider and drive, as it was a properly prepared bike.

 

Like I said Papa, he's a stand up guy to me through my personal experiences with him on and off the track! I know some will argue, but I also know if I was in a bind at the track he would help me out to the best of his ability!

 

Nope. A few of us in that class KNEW it but thought we'd wait till next race to really make sure and then do it by book w/protest... but my guy graduated novice and the other guy was found to be in fact running a 750!

 

BINGO!!!!! I'm blown away at how badly tuned and set up so many "AMA bikes" are! Give the guys good solid running bikes tuned very well and let them do the work.

 

If he is then make him redeem himself. Buy him a black hat with "CHEATER" on it in white letters and make him wear it to the track for the next year.

 

Maybe and you could be completely right! But, that's the difference between wera and the "other org" - we're all friends and get along with each other up here in the Mid-Atlantic on and off the track and we never take the protesting thing to serious!

I'm pretty new at this racing thing but, I've never seen anyone protested in a club event for internal engine stuff.

 

No this thread again? If you want to read the EDR saga go to the BARF forum.

 

HOW do you TELL a 750cc vs. 600cc aside from watching it pull you down the stra8's and sound?
Is there something in the VIN that is all telling?? something concrete you can point out at tech??

 

Engine serial numbers.

 

Mine begins with R7. Which gives me a chubby. Is the first number a 6 on the 600? I'm looking next to the oil sight glass.
