dajogejr Posted August 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Dan, 10 over arm. 90 plus HP, 135lb rider (give or take) I can pretty much PROMISE you they won't hook. You might as well put knobbies on....LOL. I would put the 8s on yours and your 10s on that bike. And it still won't be enough, my guess. My 4 mil had 6 over, my fat ass, and 10 paddle haulers and it hooked pretty good. Longer arm, less paddle and lighter rider? Simple math... :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, obviously I'm bored at work. I'll let him borrow my 14 extremes and go get my camera... NO ONE has happened to mention Dan got the dummy award Saturday as well. NOT for his win on time vs. Brent...but... For his John Force style burnout putting him an easy 20 to 30 feet past the staging lights. JT and I about fell off our bikes laughing....we both asked each other, did he just do what I think he did? I know...no front brakes, first time out... Still, damn funny.

WALLACE84 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 After seeing all these pics and everything, I think its time to get my ass in gear and get my 4mill cub done. I have all the wrong parts for the chassis though. +2+1s,+4 axle,+4 swingarm (roundhouse). So if any of you guys know people who need those parts let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynodon Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 IF, and thats IF I make it, My bike will have a "for sale" sign on it. Then you guys can see that BIGGER isnt always BETTER, this little 4 mil flies........ Dan, Which tracks are you refering to, and keep in mind that I need to know what town they are in as well. I think I know where Bobs is at... Clarksville right ?? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted August 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 It's 40 bucks to test and tune from 9 AM to 12noon and bracket race after. Saturday he was a bit behind, 9:30 to 12:30 was T&T. last time, it was double elim, 20 dollar buy back. This time it was single elim, there were 25 ATVs there. They run all bracket, at the end they ran a "quick 8" which was bracket PRO tree....the normal races are sportsman trees. Don...offer stands. I'm 2 hours or so East of the track, but...if you need a place to crash on the way up, way back home or inbetween....you're welcome to stay at my place. I don't want you to feel like cousin Eddy in Lampoon's vacation if your family's house is full... Three of us have very, very close races. One is a stock stroke cub, been heavily massaged by a local guru, JT's 4 mil and my 10mil...we are all very close to each other. Bigger is not always better....or at least I keep telling the old lady that...not sure if she's listening, though...LOL. Off race weekend rentals pop up. Could be a big turnout, could be small. Although the 3 times so far this year have been good turnouts. 18 to 32 bikes I'd say...makes for fun racing, on and off the track.
