J-Madd Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Their Triple ran a 3.25 on motor last night. The record is at 3.24. They also built my 100% custom 643 cc motor that ran lots of 3.5s and tons of 3.6s. By 100% custom I mean there is not another even close to it, and can't be built with off the shelf cylinders or pistons without lots if modification. I give all credit to them and my rider. All I did was bolt it on the bike and go. Took some fine tuning to get it in the 3.5s, but ran 3.6s outta the trailer. They are sponsors here and can build some bad ass motors. One of their customers 7 mil Cubs won the 3.80 index and had to sandbag not to break out. Would have ran some mid to low 3.7s there, which says a lot for Gilbert. That track is notoriously slow for the small motors. They also built a 10 mil DM that has ran lots of mid to low 3.60s in a stock chassis on motor. That bike is in Michigan now, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbeast Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Very impressive numbers. So people even sandbag in the bracket classes at PSD races? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I hear the Precision built motors all kicked ass. Nice work guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarRacing Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Thats awesome. Its good there is still a top builder around to build fast stuff. Many of the small builders are goin under and the big ones are doing more 4 strokes or UTV stuff and dont port worth a crap anymore or care.

He hadn't BEEN running faster than 3.80, found himself making fast passes and of course you'll let out if you're ahead if you wanna win the money. The next lowest index was 3.60, so sandbagging is just part of it I guess. I find it hard to let out of the gas in a good pass and have gave away races by breaking out when u have guys half tracked in index or bracket.

locogato11283 Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I can't imagine letting out of a pass. That would suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand, there's alot of people that sandbag on purpose at the local track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We learned it from our 30+ years of drag racing. The strategy has paid off with big money wins. Most people don't like it & some do. To each their own, it works if done right!
