Spot the big names in this old gem!
Maybe a source for hunting down old rigs too...
Article from August of 1998.
that was my first meeting back after a year and a half 2 years after breaking my arm , found b grade to slow so called easing my way back into it (-; to getting some sec's in A then breaking the cluch cable starting at the back banging into gear going though the feild leading and bining it big time lol
Well my 100 went to Ola, then Str8' then Sketchy where the motor resides on his bench while the turbo is slotted into replacement chassis.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Shit we were just talking about that meeting last week. I recall ass'ing off left right and center (and in the pits; not my finest work). God knows how I got 9th... Don't recall finishing anything that day.
One of my last meetings before uni sucked all my racing money dry (and student loan was piling up).
But I'm sure that was 1997 not 1998 but could be wrong...
That's a shitload of HP from one of them...back in the day, the best i ever heard claimed for the factory Jap F3 bikes was 80HP.
Why the crank and rods needed for bigger ? i know there's not a lot of pistons available - a guy down here CNC'd a full set some years back to raise the com on his - you'd know by now why he did that...lol. No one want to bore the awkward block ?
main reason is a big bore kit and heaver pistons , the rods are horrable spinly things as you would know, acording to g force developments they start breaking cranks with to much hp , lost a heaps of torque to get that power which would not suit the standard heavy bike i guess
