Sub Classes / Tech. Inspection

I didn't win anything I got gapped by 2 RS660's (probably superbikes) and Mr. Londono pulled me off the podium by .8 seconds. It was a blast none-the-less

 

Add formula 2 to ur list even I got a podium over there

 

Will do

 

Quite probably not. It is real easy to assume, when you are a new racer, that the bikes that appear to be gapping you on pure horesepower are either superbikes or cheaters. The truth is; they are better than you, their legal bikes are faster than your legal bike, they are getting way better drives out of the corners. Wait until you have a few races under your belt and know the guys you are racing against before assuming or accusing. Most "cheaters" are not, but some are "kinda superbikey".

 

"kinda superbikey".

 

old days...guys putting Gsxr 750 motors in 600 frames...guys building bigger motors into smaller cases, etc....porting, polishing, shaving decks...all the old school cheating fun. Cheater gas, cheater wheels, cheater brakes, cheater double bubbles...lol...no horn...DQ.

Hey mongo you ever find a cheater NOS system on a bike?

 

Those RS660's have me regardless of what trim they're in. In all seriousness, I just need to get better and continue picking up the pace. I'll tap into my inner toprak when he was riding for yamaha.

 

My advice would be to stick to SS build to keep costs under control and spend your money on tires and entry fees. Less things to go wrong, too, so you'll get to enjoy more races. Plus you'll know that it's you beating someone and not the bike.

Some of the old "back in the day" cheating stories and protest stories are pretty hilarious in hindsight- as were some of the more notorious cheaters.

In motorcycle racing, the cheating accusations are nothing compared to the car world, I'm learning. We used to have one good cheating scandal per season, it seemed, but those car guys complain about cheating every session.
