I don't understand why people are giving him a hard time about dragging his bike, I would love to watch someone have that much of a meltdown in person as long as he wasn't dropping fluids where my tires are going to be. I don't even understand why the trackday org. would have a problem with it unless there was other stuff involved that we don't know about.
Looks like a good opportunity to use the old Stroker Ace sponsor slogan "The Fastest Chicken in the South". Would make some cool decals.
I have to admit, there is something amusing about watching someone else coming apart at the seams.....especially when you thought YOU were having a bad day. But if that event caused him to have a moment of clarity and as a result he's a better person on the other side, then more power to him right? BioWeapon Fuel: Love, Peave.....and Chicken Grease
Everything on the website seems factual. An 11.5 HP increase on a ZX10 after mapping is substantial not to mention lower emissions and cooler running super clean engine AND you can leave the gas in the tank. Why would anyone buy VP?
Why would you buy anything other than pump? Does everything else (including a power increase albeit most likely smaller once you have a good map for it). Race fuel is a total waste of money for 99% of you.
Remember back in the good old days when Novices brought their street bikes to the track prepped for a race day? And no one bothered using race tires until they got their expert license? I rolled through the paddock at Beaver a few years back and came upon a toy hauler with two fully prepped Ducs with slick and tire warmers alongside a 55 gallon drum of VP. Dude was riding in the B class. My how times have changed.
I didn't even have a lap timer until after racing for 5 years. I did 5 AMA Nationals with out tire warmers using an open 6x8 flatbed trailer. Most of today's trackday riders are way more prepped than most racers were just 10 years ago.
I can understand the Toy hauler but slicks and VP wow, some people really have more money than sense. You need to get some pictures of this person.
"This person" has fast become "these people." You see it more and more every year. That just happened to be the first time I came accross it. I remember control riding behind the guy in B class and catching that distinctive smell of race fuel coming from his exhaust. Dude was barely leaning in the turns but by GAWD he had race fuel and slicks. I tried to tell him that at the pace he was running he wasnt going to get enough heat into those slicks for them to grip but he informed me that was what his tire warmers were for. At that point I just walked away
Ya' gotta guess at the number of the desmosedici that were bought up for track day weapons. Pretty cool if you got the money to do something like that but if you never turn out any of these trackday bikes to a race . . . it's like jerking off to internet porn and never going out to try out your dinky-doo in the real world.
If you got it, why not? By you guy's logic why have a nice car? Why get an F-250 to tow your 6x12 when a ranger will do. Why put a pipe on your racebike? Why the nice house? Motorcycle racing in and of itself is a big waste of $$ About none of you have a chance at making $$ at it so whats the point?
