General Two Stroke Talk / Re: im off to glen helen.....
« on: October 04, 2010, 03:23:43 PM »
well im back........ what a freaking long drive. drove through the night friday just to get 2 hours of sleep saturday morning in front of the gate. woke up to the lovely sound of of my buddy honking at me as he pulled in. haha. well what can i say, glen helen is amazing, every time i go down there it is a great time. just sitting on that gate is awesome, the talladega corner after the start, going up mt st helen is always a rush. so to break it down i went 7-7 on day one, i had nothing to offer i could barely walk i was so tired. but day 2 was way better i went 6-5 and beat both of my buddies that beat me day 1. finshed 6 overall. day one the track was super sloppy in the am and with the wind it dried out and got BEAT in the afternoon. day 2 was a different story the track was tacky all day, not sure what why it was so different but it was great. so let me just say this, 450's have there place, and glen helen is it. i got my a-- handed to me going up those hills and the long straights and the nasty bumpy corners etc... sloppy in the am dry in afternoon all = 450. sorry dont jump on me just hear me out. i did beat out a few guys and i was the only 250 in my class and the only 2t, even though there was a ton of 2t in other classes. but check this out, my buddy had issues with his bike before the last moto and had to ride his 250f in moto 4, he had been pulling me all weekend until moto 4. he had nothing for me on that 250f compared to my yz. so the proof is on the track, 250 2t against a 450 on a fast hilly nasty track = NOT FAIR, 250f vrs 250 2t = not fair, i think this really shows that our petition for 150-300 2t's is on track to being, well, fair.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!

once your stacked up in the gate is where the real nerves kick in, I LOVE IT!!! lets you know your alive.
i still want to puke when im sitting there in the gate and i have been racing moto for years. its a pure rush.

like said above the start will make or break you, wont get to into start tech, concrete vs dirt but dont stare at the gate, head is up looking at the first corner, through the corner of your eye your looking at the pin or hinge of the gate in the lower corner, its the  first thing on the gate that moves. and remember you want to get to that corner first so hold it on when you hear everyone else shut it down and you will be screaming hole shot......

click the link then watch the video. i hope it still works they are yanking it all over the web. i guess these guys are not supposed to working without safety lines and from what i read this is a very tight small group of workers world wide.

or do like i did, buy a new yz, run the s--t out of it, moto after moto...... and use that money you saved to keep the bike frsh as can be. i have had my bike since the begining of the year adn hears my rap up. paid 6500 for a brand new 09 yz back in march, now has almost a hundred hrs on it. im on top end 4 and clutch 2. the rest is tires, chain/sprokets and the rest goes to entry fees and fuel etc... im getting podium finishes and riding faster than ever on the 2t. i wish i had a tally of last years 450 total buget compared to this years yz buget. i can pretty much tell you this for the cost of a brand new 450 i have raced this entire year. last year for the cost of my new yz i had spent more than that just in rebuilds. HMMM thats a no brainer right there and racing is FUN again!!!!!

what track?
i was blown away last week at my practice track, 408 mx in san jose cali, im usally the only 2t besides the mini's but last week there was about 10 of us out there ripping it up. i noticed this one fast kid that is usally on a 250f and had to ask what the change of heart was and why he was on a cr250. he said in so many words his parents could not afford him racing and he was on his own. so what does the kid do. saves his money and buys a 2t and hes back on the track. clasic story right there.

signed it, sorry for the delay

all these methods work, paint, glue hair spray, but to repeat the post above a little stronger, WIRE TIE THEM. and if you dont know how then ask someone to show you in person the first time. i watched a guy last year pull a grip off mid air over a 90' triple. as you can imagine it was all bad. guess what, no safety wire on his grips. and while were at it, you ever see a guy lose a foot peg mid triple? i did, because he didnt check to make sure the codder pin was through the bottom of them.

ok off the soap box now, i just hate seeing people get hurt, and when it was for a stupid preventable reason.
