Sorry, but I have to throw the "bullshit" flag on you trollmeister. I raced for years. You obviously no nothing about the sport.
.
You can call it bs all you want but I don't watch NASCAR I find it boring . I did race motocross when I was young . I ran a Yamaha 360 mx in open class , I got it brand new in 1972.
now you call it bs , first let me ask you is it BS that I don't watch NASCAR or that I raced motto cross ?
You claim you raced it would be like me saying the same to you or asking was it hot wheels you raced or those little electric cars that ran around a fixed track. Are you claiming you raced NASCAR ?.
If your talking NASCAR YOUR CORRECT i KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE i HAVE NO INTEREST IN IT.
I have serious reservations about you being a NASCAR drive to be honest .
As for me being a motor cross and and hare scrambler racer I indeed was in Ohio and Penn and a couple times in Wv. I asso did some hill climbing in local event in gob dumps so you know that were very challenging and resulting in more than a few severe injury's on people taking part. so you know I would use my 360 for them but would add additional padding on the handle bars and change the rear tire to a wider tire and change the rear sprocket to one with more teeth I had ordered I also changed the carb jets . the 360 mx had more then enough powe but made it at higher rpm . I didnt want to try and shift while racing up hill leaning over the bars as far as I could it was difficult so Would get a good run in third gear which was naturally now a lower ration due to the sprocket change and go like heck , this way I was in not having to down shift except in rare instances when I screw up and was able to maintain speed and momentum, and not risk the loss of traction with a down shift while standing and leaning so far forward to keep the front end from coming up and flipping or spinning out.
I had motorcycles most of my life. My first was a rupp mini bile then a Honda 90 then a honda xl 175 the the Yamaha 360 and a CZ 250 came next. after that I picked up a two stroke Harley 175 for road work and very light off road it was junk but pretty.
then I got a Motto Guzzi 750 ambassador then a Norton 850 commando then a 1947 Harley flat head chopper with a suicide shiftier . Next was a 1971 Harley Electra glide and after that I picked up a Honda Aspencade .
when doing the hare scrambles you had to carry a tool kit extra chain link and clip and tire patches . these were long races and if you had mechanical problems you were sol , and the race was over for you , I also used a different sprocket for the scrambles with just a few more teeth to slightly lower the gear ratio and I had a separate exhaust that helped a bit with mid range power. as I could only really afford one bike at he time as I was young I tried to use it for everything except road word.
you can call bs all you want but its obvious you know about as much about me as you do space flight , which I assure you I know a lot more about then you do unless your next going to claim your a astronaut .
Now please explain your claim I know nothing about off road racing , how would you know that ? Did you mighty blow hole joe 8 ball tell you that ?
Please explain your information source or how you came to that conclusion . I really want to hear this one.
