Crusty Old Racers Class

how is the testing process conducted?
30 lab rats 1/2 white bonnets, 1/2 yellow bonnets in a 1/40 scale racetrack?

 

Don't look now mongo but come next season I WILL HAVE A GSXR-1000 to run. This season I'll just have to get my license on '89 - '93 GSXR-750 hot rod ( I pulled the 906 motor and put in a faily stock '90 750) and I'll need the buy a box of 16"ths bits and some wire. got all new gear together except acceptible gloves (JU, thanks for Having such a great paper. And I just got a set of Sidi Vertibres, gratis courtesy of the ad. [worn once and even the toes are not scuffed, got an AKITO - MOTOPORT Suit minus armour but with pucks and armour pocket's. Guess I'll get to be a Green shirt in wera toward the end of summer. It will sure beat going off the roads around here, just can't seem to restrain myself. Oh I start out cruisin, but as the tires warm, I start later brakin and rollin on sooner and by the end of a road that I know well, I'm sliding both ends and backin it in. Gotta get back on a track and unfamiliar ground.
Or I won't see 55 or 60 for sure.
So not all of us "old farts" like itty-bitty bikes. I weigh 250 lbs (ok a little less, 237 or so).
But some of us crusty 50 year olds, need something that will lite her up comin' up out of a turn, so yeah I gotta buy more tires, but ya gotta make up for the size some how and I figure terminal velocity and late brakein' the straight is an aceptable alternative for us "BIGGER" old crusties.

Just throw 'em to the wolves.

 

hey td930, no money yet but I did get a half bottle of Maalox, two Viagras, and several atta boy's from some veteran Crusties who look forward to the class.

 

Let's hope you learn some restraint before you show up for CORC. Would not like the idea of a GSXR1000 plowing into my TZ. I suspect I know what _that_ outcome would be like.

Well I'll just have to try and navagate aroud you on the straights - if you'll do the same for me in the corners. Run my own race in my head, and by being there, I will be quiet, in the back ground and sheepish.
(OK, for a bit). I was not sugesting I was gonna be a careless a$$hole, just like to try and follow Kevin Schwantz's advice " If your not living on the edge you're leavin' to much room ".

I do not heal as quickly these days

lets just donate the royalties to the medicine cabinet...i.e. said maalox, viagra, the geritol and AARP memberships

 

as Neil Young says "RUST NVER SLEEPS" use it or for evre think about what might have been,And I've need sittin on the fence too long. my ass is gettin the itch.
But I 'am afraid I want to race the kids [thats who i am inside]).

kluddy...do you pre-enter your races?

 

we will not go away......what say you mongo?
roebling rd the de-butt of CORC?

 

won't be ready for Roebling, and that's KULDDY (KOOLDADDY a nick name I earned from a salesman at a car lot I was a manager at in Santa Monica. I was the only one he knew that rode a 1458/750 GSXR at 44years old.).
I will have to work out some stuff with the wife (she's not to keen on me racin again, having stopped before I met her [7years ago], but shes only 33 so she'll get over it).
Think I have decided on A KX-500 (would love to use an SV-650 being a suzuki fanatic, but they come much dearer).

mabye you can use these 17" spoke talon rims i have to make your kx work.

 

oppppppsss....sorry kulddy

 

Any Word? Us crusties are still waiting.

 

Just moving this up again. Hope for answer now that Mongo is back from playing in Fla. Just a crusty with a LW bike looking to see if the LW are going to have a place in this class if it happens.

 

Don't care which day. If you run it on saturday, just make sure you don't schedule it as a back-to-back with a solo20......just so we crusties can have a Geritol break.

i am little crustier on saturday but either day is fine

just don't do a CCS thing and run it 10am sunday morning :ugh:

 

Saturday sounds good to me. That'll leave us plenty of time to recuperate before we have to race the youngun's on Sunday. >
