bennieben1 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 i was at the four stroke wars on march 13th @ glamis helping a buddy compete. i was told by the people there that banshee wars is no more. too much cheating and lieing is the cause. they said people that claimed they were running stock stroke cranks were really running 4 mils. people that claimed their bikes were at a certain size bore were really much bigger. stock cylinders were being sleeved huge. they said that people were fist fighting, words were being exchanged too much, and accusations were flying. they said that it is easier to just not do the banshee wars anymore. they said that when a persons motor was questioned, and money was put up for the inspection, most people would not do it. thus making themselves look like cheaters and causing even more problems. does anyone know if this is true? please correct me or share any info that you might have.

So Cal Suspension Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Honestly, I'm glad they ended banshee wars. It made all of us look bad. I can't tell you how many arguments and pissy little fights I saw out there. It's bad enough that shit happens every weekend, we don't need an organized event for hot heads to gather. Take it elsewhere, there's too many problems already with glamis. We don't need violence out there any more than there already is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrmarquez.702 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 So how is 4 stroke wars any different? Can't you big bore and stroke a 4 poker the same as a banshee? I am ready to see some more great banshee wars!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtydownunder Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 yeh i dont get it, you can cheat with anything ? sometimes at big events if they suspect cheating thay call a $1000 bluff, you have to pull ya car/bike down, if you are cheating you loss $1000 if you check out you get the $1000.

jbooker82 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I can see it happing. Some one that cant ride that still wants to win runs a 10mill stock cylinder in a stock stroke stock cylinder class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 the way they do this at the national hillclimbs is to do a teardown after the races are over. obviously, the open class doesnt matter and doesnt require teardown but the classes with cc restrictions usually tear down the top 3.

bennieben1 Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 fighting brings too much un-needed attention from the police, rangers, and gives the fag tree huggers more fuel against all of us. it makes it easier to begin closing more areas down. the four stroke war seemed very peaceful. everyone knew each other pretty well and they all got along. if someone else starts a banshee competition i hope that it goes well and there is no trouble. peoples incredible inflated pride and their easily hurt feelings is what the sport doesnt need.

Like they said. They tried to do tear downs but the owners refused. If you dont have anything to hide, why hide? I think the problem is that it is a 1 time deal. After the races every body dissapears and isnt seen again until next year. If you tried pulling that stuff at your local drag track where you ran ever weekend you would be banned from competing. Maybe it would help if they didnt let every tom dick and harry compete. If they have never herd of you, never seen your banshee run, you dont compete regulary you can't compete in offical races. If you dont have any Credit, then you dont have any Credibility so you dont race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 We race almost every weekend at KP in the summer and don't get into fights about it. We all know there are the guys who show up claiming they have a 4mil that's really a 10mil or a stock stroke that's really a 4mil... it happens everywhere. Its just the people who are there racing that make it what it is. Shitty people make shitty racing, good people make good racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
