Title: budds creek 125 class
Post by: keeptwostrokesalive on July 27, 2010, 08:22:07 AM

A 1978 rm125 gets the holeshot then checks out.  The 1978 rm125 beats a class full of newer 125s, its pretty funny.

Yup, those older bikes can still lay down the law.  Some of them are even better than newer bikes.

I have nothing to add.  Somehow I get the feeling that anything I say can and will be used against me. :D

I'll say it for you JETZ, that RM rider was sandbagging to make his old bike look fast... :D :D

Sandbagging?  I'm afraid I'm not quite up to speed on your hip young lingo, son.

Sandbagging describes someone who underperforms (usually deliberately) in an event. The term has multiple uses, such as a driver who competes in an event in a series below their level of expertise to finish high.[1] In bracket drag racing and short track racing when a racer has a dial-in time  / qualifying speed much slower than the car can actually perform. The term can also be used to describe a fast driver who holds back during a race until just before the end, when s/he suddenly passes up through the field to win the event.

Oh, okay.  We knew a guy who would do that in AHRMA races on his 400 Maico, because he knew if he let it all hang out they'd bump him up from Amateur to Expert and he'd never be able to win again (especially with guys like Jim Pomeroy doing AHRMA races at that time.)  It was hilarious to watch him race, because he'd holeshot everybody, disappear, and then cruise around the track real easy.  We've got it on tape, but unfortunately I can't share it because it's just that... tape.

LOL hip and young are not words many use to describe me  :) .

Sandbagging in MX is when a racer races in a class below their real skill level so they can get a win or a high finish.
