    IDK, every day the plot thickens. My takeaway from the latest release is very specific though to me. "Superbike race two was not compliant with any batch of VP MGP manufactured between 2019 and 2023" Me thinks it may have been the 2024 gas that was given to them for testing that has MTBE in it.

    Nothing else makes sense. Someone is lying....

    But I think they are all enjoying the gossip as it has a bunch of people talking about MA in the offseason. There is no such thing as negative publicity they say..

    Don't forget Darren Luck racing a 750 in the 600 SS class, and Chuck Chouinard's scotch brite valve job.....:crackup:

    Suzuki was busted for running 6" rear wheels when stock was 5.5" one year back in the day.

    Per Lisa at VP South (one of the 5 VP distributors in the US) there is a 20 drum minimum for the warehouse in TX to ship it to a distributor. None of the distributors will sit on 20 14 gallon drums for the sake of a handful of MA racers. So it's $225 shipping plus $335 for the drum to get 14 gallons of fuel to tune with, unless you want to wait until the first race weekend.

    Yes, I know, it's pro racing!

    Or factory Suzuki 750 SS bikes using OEM air filters that looked totally different than anything OE from Suzuki US. And AMA Pro said hey Mike Tejon go away those are legal regardless if you can or cannot buy one

    Clueless drivel. 100% legal during the time it was used by American Honda. Lay off the weed

    well Dave I don’t smoke or drink and it came out of Al Ludington’s mouth about them being forced to stop using it because of a rule… that was in his office at DMG in Daytona when he was their tech director and had just left American Honda…. He was talking about gray areas and getting caught pushing the rules

    so you can shove the clueless drivel straight up your ass with all due respect which is none at this point

    and yeah I know where you worked and according to your old boss Honda didn’t always follow the rules, like knife edging cranks and using vacuum pumps too long… cheating fucks couldn’t even win with all that money and might because Duhamel was a limp dick pansy too… no wonder everyone hates Honda

    I can tell you 100% Honda stopped using vacuum pumps when outlawed. Period. How's that a gray area? And knife edged cranks?? Complete horse shit. You and Al Never happened when I was there. Merlyn would never have allowed that to go on.

    how many people would even know there was a vacuum pump used in those engines? Right…

    you could have said that they quit using them when they were outlawed… yet you decide to attack me for repeating what Al told me… we can agree to be respectful or not… I don’t care but you disagreeing is no reason to be a dick…


    Do we need to find the pics of the crank in the Honda 600 that got DQd from the Daytona 200 win?

    see how easy this is? This is insightful… are you informing me that the Erion 600s had nothing to do with American Honda?

    Exactly. Precisely. They were American Honda's competitors
