The throw at the ho down! (V.I.R)

[swheels]

Ok first off lte drop the ball on this one.My video camera failed.I only used it a total of 8 times and it sat for a year.Then i go to use it it didn't work.Ok i had the onboard camera i get up to the grid i forget to turn it on.

On that note Them boys at X.M.R WAAAAAAASSSSSS fast!!!!!!!!speechless33 A built 110cc was kickin my butt on the back straight.Again i was out horsepowered.Great bunch of guys at X.M.R.One guy I remeber his screen name jagspeed@xmr was riding a watercooled 110cc bored to a 125cc that hauled........Doug was on a built 146cc.Haulinn. There was some good racing going on.In fact they liked the mid class so much we got to run 5 times instead of just 2 heats.Blitz he rode an excellent race considering it was his first time on a road course and haveing total stock suspension.bows_smilie

Now as for myself i had the best time i ever had! the second heat second.I crash so hard and so fast on the third lap that a thought i just had sex or something.speechless33 Jag had got the holeshot then doug was in second i was so determine to get around Doug that coming off the front stretch going into turn 1 i came in like a 747 got front brakes leaning into the turn BAM! Tucked the front end.It was at a pretty good speed but i got back so fast cause i rolled on to my feet and was ready to go again.It was great!but i got last place.So first heat i got 1place , 2nd heat last place, 3rd heat 4th place,4th heat 3rd 5th heat 3rd. There was a total of (i think)7 md/superbikes.Also But in all fairness Jagspeed broke his right foot peg on the grid restarting his bike so he had to ride one foot off the bike.We had a great battle although they say a win is a win.I like to win when everybody is at there best or it just don't count to me.Then the 4th heat i kept trying to put the move on Doug leading on to the backstretch.I'd get up on the inside of him and we'd be wheel to wheel but he'd pull away from me.Damn under hp again. All in all everybody was Very impressed with the midbike class.thumbsup2

But that counti tire i'm running in the rear was insane i had so much grip in the rear it would cause the front end to slip alittle.That tire HOOKED UP GREAT!

I will try to see if i can get my video camera wrking so i can get some proper video.Oh and remeber to turn the onboard camera on.DAOH! I really wanted some footage of my crash.

[Midbike Racer]

Sounds like a great time.
7 midbikes in a class. Very cool. I like to hear this!rock2

How did the heats work?
What is the schedule for tomorrow?
Can't wait to see pics!!

Swheels your mission, if you decide to accept it, is to find out where he found the watercooled engine. That is the future. This message will sel-destruct in 5 seconds 4, 3, 2, 1, ??? Damnthis new tech never works right moon1

Damn! We'll just have to stomp them with smarts. Once this is done I can see a plan coming out for the next throw down boxing11

[rednek01]

Man thats awesome guys! Sounds like yall are having a great time. Wish I was there to watch!

[X7rocks]

man doug looks so familiar in that pic that you got blitz
and im so sad i couldnt make it not even for one day =[
sigh...................
well maybe i can catch all you guys around wen XMR go to practice or for a track day

[55IsABigLie]

Totally right, Nutt.

I remember thinking the same thing the first time i read about fuel injection for watercraft/jet skiis/outboards (ie saltwater).

There is no way the usual crappy rush-to-market R&D is gonna work in that scenario. Sure enough, OMC made a solid design and refined it. When it was ready, they put it out there.

Now every water bike is working on it or already has it...The design is KISS simple which is the *only* way sh*t works in the real world, computers be damned.

I bet some of OMC's earlier injection test stuff was NOT what they were looking for...rock2

im pretty sure these pics are familar to blitz and swheels

[The Nutty Professor]

Hey X7 got anymore doug photo's? I like the bike.

[X7rocks]

theres the 125cc watercooled 4 stroke x15
the 110 that beat swheels
and dougs bike

[kevin@holeshotz]

He got the bike off of ebay and it came with the watercooled setup usd's dual front dics brakes.A was waiting along time for those bikes to be imported but the never was.The only 2 i've ever seen was on ebay.But i know theres a place sells the motor but it's over in the UK.

Jay and myself may be importing those into the states. In case you guys are interested.

[Shooter]

Here I am trying to make my bike look all trick and stuff and you go posting race pics............way to go!!!
I don't know squat about modding engines, and now after seeing these pics and reading about the race(s), I wanna race.
You really know how to spread the infection!!!rock2

[kevin@holeshotz]

A little photo won't hurt.

Heres my low down:

It was my first time really riding the cr85, so naturally it was difficult. The top 5 SEMRA riders were there on CRF150Rs and then Andres from florida, so i had some good competition. After riding pocketbikes for 2 years and then just hoping on a 17inch rim motard, its not easy. Saturday consisted of me falling on my azz and learning the bike. Sunday i dropped a total of 3 seconds off my laptimes. Passing John P and Andres, who saturday were half a lap ahead of me, was a real accomplishment. It was good to see all the mid-bike riders there, Chuck enjoyed having the extra riders. Swheels, great job riding that x18 (or is it an x7?). That thing sure is badazz, you gotta get that engine built though. Oh ya, do not be shy to get close to guys on the track. All of the midbike riders were real timid. No one is gonna swerve it take you out so do not be shy to make a move. You looked good out there.

Peace, I hope this photo upload right.

[swheels]

im pretty sure these pics are familar to blitz and swheelsYeah he was running a built 146cc. i gave him hell through the turns a few times.

Hey X7 got anymore doug photo's? I like the bike.Hay Np i got some good pics i'm waiting for my camera battery to charge up.

Peace, I hope this photo upload right.Kevin i can honestly say I'm glad we didn't have to run with you motard guys.I think the motards ran the fastest laptimes.There was a guy out there on a metrakit that's a $5k bike.Couldn't do squat against the motards and i was pullin for him to.

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

that metrakit was real fast on saturday till he wrecked
sunday he was real slow, i was pullin for him too lol
that #10 motard was crazy fast, lapping the whole field
it was like that takagawa video, serious

[X7rocks]

dougs only running a 141
unless he stole my motor!!!

[swheels]

dougs only running a 141
unless he stole my motor!!!Nah dude they told me a built 146cc.As far as getting beat by the 110cc.I'm uploading some vids now.Then you be the judge.thumbsup2 but everybody ran taller gears than i did so my gearing killed my then today i went to a lower gearing.To get through the turns faster but was even slower in the backstretch.

Hey Nut,
I wish I could find another X-15 with a Watercooled engine. I found it over a year ago on E-bay and have not seen one since. I have a lot of work done to the engine and even after running it hard on the track the engine stays cool. By the way, you really need to come out next time and run with us. The more people we have the better chance that these organizations will keep allowing us to run with them.

I almost chopped off the tip of my finger in a hurry to get "TN" up and running for the next smackdown. I'm working as fast as I can without losing a body-part bluelaugh

[doug@xmr]

x-7's right that is a 141 not a 146?? Hey S wuz one of the guys pullin your chain?? I've got the lifan with the 14mm pin. I had to put up the 141 for the last race it wuz spinning the tire in all the tight corners especially the off camber uphill. That wuz your spot all over me lol I think I remember rubbin elbows once maybe heading up the hill?? Yeah I also had the same problem with gearing but forgot to bring my counter sprockets banghead I kept toppin out in the back stretch way to soon!! It wuz a hell of a weekend and a pleasure.

[X7rocks]

[swheels]

OK I think this is the 3rd heat the guy in the blue with yellow leathers is on the built 110cc bike(blue upper and black lower fairings) Of course you guys will figure out which one is me.This was on saturday race my gearing was 17/38 then sunday i went down to a 14/38 when i should have just stayed or gone up.

Awesome video Swheels. I think my co-workers are tired of me playing it over and over again haha hangloose

[swheels]

Then i think your gonna love this one. This vid was from sundays race.(a short one).I went down to stock gearing thinking i would pull harder up the hill only to be even slower on the back stretch.I figured for the next race ill go back to the original gearing i had run in the previous.( had know choice) The guy the crash in front of me road that bike hard man once he went by me.I was watching his rear tire cause the back end was real swirley going around the turns.I thought if i'm gonna go around him i better do it quick.As soon as i was gonna go try and sneak underneath that was all she wrote.He was all right just sprained his arm and broke the front rim on the bike. But like i said everybody rode an excellent race.thumbsup2 Forgot to mention that was our final race for sunday.They were running short on time and in all fairness we ran the most saturday 5 heats.

[Midbike Racer]

Great videos swheels!
I like the view from there.

[rednek01]

definately not. I get a kick out of riding my motorized scooter that I welded a seat onto and it has solid rubber tires, direct drive, and a 23cc 2stroke that has all of 1.5 horses and I love cutting the corners and seeing how far I can lean before I loose traction or scrape the bottom of the foot board haha I have pics of it on here in another post.

[swheels]

Great videos swheels!
I like the view from there.Thanks. But man did i drop the ball on this one.BIGTIME.Ok my vid camera battery was shot so thats why my vid cam was down.Blitz let me borrow his so i went around talking to a few people and getting some shots of there bike.Plus some vids of the faster guys.So i get back to Blitz and we go to look over the stuff i did Nothing all the time i thought i was recording i wasn't again i F'dup.bangheadangry_redThe poeple there was the greatest but most of the racers was sorta hush hush and didn't want there faces on the vids.So id' keep the camera on there bike while i spoke to them.banghead

Hey S what did ya think of the zx80?? the vid is great I didn't think the sound of the 2 smoker would be so distinctive on the vid. Man a little more practice and a few more laps and maybe I could have had somthin for JAG he was on bows_smiliefire!!

that metrakit was real fast on saturday till he wrecked

that #10 motard was crazy fast, lapping the whole field

On saturday it was Tommy D riding it, on sunday it was the owner, Todd, riding it. Tommy D races for honda on 600s, so he know what he was doing. Tommy's brother, Jimmy, was the pocketbike rider in the black suit kicking azz.

Carlo is one crazy fast rider. I really wanted to ride his Husqvarna 450.

[X7rocks]

damn kickass vids
whens the next VIR races???

[doug@xmr]

Yeah you was working that 80.thumbsup2 I just wish i could have gotten up there to get a closer look.LOLspeechless33 Hey do you remember the name of the other place they wanted us to do an exhibition race at?

I thought they said there was a race in about two weeks in MD @ Sandy Hook. I've approached them about racing there and they said not with the little bikes (safety issue). We'd have to show up strong in order to race but to go just as an exhibition I'm all for it. That's right in my backyard

[kevin@holeshotz]

BTW guys, Carlo's 95 (the real fast guy) is for sale. $5000 for the whole bike which is a killer price. The bike has over $5000 invested in the motor alone. Its a good investment for those who are serious about racing.

[doug@xmr]

Hey Kevin I'm serious about racing but not an oversized enduro how about an undersized sport bike lol, and what was meant when you reffered to the mid bike guys as being real timid in the corners??

[kevin@holeshotz]

I did not mean timid in the corners, i meant timid on making a move on someone. John and myself were bumping tires and elbows throughout every corner, you guys seemed to stay away from each other. I do not know why i said that to be honest, lol.

Hey S, great job out therethumbsup2 it was fun and I'm glad to see that you enjoyed as much as XMR did. That little 110cc monster sure gave that 138cc a run for it's money for being the smallest cc bike on the track. In the end racing is all about wining and JAGspeed@XMR came out on topthumbsup2, but in the end I feel that we are all winners for showing up and representing Midbikes.rock2

I do not know why i said that to be honest, lol.At the first drivers meating when he made the midbike guys stay behind that was the very first thing he warned us about.Chuck stated that nice clean passes or no rough housing.But me and Doug definitly was bumping elbows in the turn leading on to the backstretch.

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

maybe i was a bit timid
i didnt want to wreck anybody else out
i got to pass a few times and i did it as safe as i could
i was thinkin to myself that i could get around doug in a corner possibly, and the next turn i wrecked lol
the track had to be learned, and the next time we go im sure that we will all be faster

[The Nutty Professor]

I wasn't there so I can't say what chuck meant but I'll bet he really didn't want any of the action he sees with Kart's. Bump passing, standing people up (Bikes of course you can't with a Kart), or brake checks. Close racing and brushing bodywork and elbows is going to happen. But with a first time for us on a track timid is probably the best thing for the owners to see. As we go we can get aggressive but not Kart crazy. twocents

You are 100% right. It was the first time we were on a race track and our actions made us enjoing it and have fun. In the end being all friends and not being upset for someone crashing for being aggresive.
