Where is the track?

And is this where you need special sorts of tyres?

[PIGSY#17]

the track is on captain cook drive just off brisbane road (easy to get to) last time i was told that you could only run turf tammers on the rear so i bought a set then when i arrived the other guys where just running mx tyres i think its a different story for 2 wheelers but you dont need to change bike set up much i fitted a sway bar and wound down my shocks but you dont even need to do that

i live on the gold coast and have the qld title winner 3 times in a row as well as australian title winner 2 times in a row , i love to hang it sideways under full power count me in

Just some swappers from Moree or somewhere like that I reckon.

[Dazz]

cant wait to see that race its not more than 3mins from my house!

[PIGSY#17]

Gold coast sup regs are up now http://www.mqld.org.au/docs2/GoldCoastCupsupps09.pdf also any tyres can be used

[gazman]

i may be blind but is it a one day licence or a full maq one?

[Postie]

looks like its "open to holders of MA senior national ", could be a good reason to get one Gazman , looks like a top event , I 'd like to give it a go but we have a club day that weekend .

[PIGSY#17]

not any jumps in there postie and i know how you love them

[gazman]

will i be the only gumby on a 250 ? if i am, can i get a head start?? Seriously, i have been thinking about getting right into to the sport,but spending $12000+ and then relizing i suck at it would be grounds for divorce ! I have been looking at some 450s though! (just don't tell the wife.)But i think you are right,might be time to get another MAQ ticket anyway.

True true , still I do enjoy a nice wide open balls to the wall slideways action

Hey Gazman , I started out on the old 200 yfm , damn their heavy when they come back & ride you , we all gotta start somewhere

If you want to start racing I would nearly look for a used race bike , it can work out cheaper in the long run if you get one already setup . I seen a stockish yfz450 sell on ebay last week for $4050 , so they will become more affordable , just gotta be in the right place @ the right time and at that price the wife shouldn't threaten to leave , thats only worth a few nights on the couch (or in the shed with the new toy).

[gazman]

are you saying i can use your couch if i buy a brand new one ? still no answer on the head start,i reckon about half the length of the back straight,sounds about fair.by the way pigsy,i see you are a local.do have a sneaky spot where i can give my bike a bit of exersize within 45 min of the very GC?

[Postie]

[quote="gazman"]are you saying i can use your couch if i buy a brand new one ? still no answer on the head start,i reckon about half the length of the back straight,sounds about fair.

Yeah no probs on the couch , you might have to ask Pigsy bout the headstart , sounds fair to me , I'd squeeze him for a lap though
All for the good of the sport ay

no buddy i never raced it i just bought the bike that won those titles on flat track the previous owner was glen cowley, he since has stopped racing.old mate dazz (raptor 350) has also taken the bike for a spin out at logan village.i dont know if its true or not but the reason he sold the raptor is he was having to pull it down all the time due to other racers complaining that he was winning unfairly (which he wasnt) the bike has just got sooo much grunt and mod done no one could beat it. with a compression ratio of 14:1 and 90 horsepower at the wheels on the dyno, i still have not fond any thing quicker whether it be 2wheels or 4 wheels , its an animal.

[Dazz]

for an old iron top that quad is way faster than any other rappy ive tried
and like he said they aint much that can be done to it as it looks like it has just about every mod possible short of hacking into the frame and removing the startermotor and adding a turbo

hey what day n time do the quads race i wanna go see em ?

[bansheebuzz]

the bike only won 1 qld title, the engine never had to be pulled down due to protests, the only protest against him was running methanol but it was not made formal so no action was taken,

i was keen to find out how you know info on this bike because i was led to believe that winning those titles was true upon purchase of the bike and reason for selling was the reason i already mentioned. i know this bike has a great reputation in the race scene , but all this dosent worry me though because i enjoy it for what i do with it on weekend rides in the bush and it gives the two wheeler guys something to think about when im chasing them down with the front wheels in the air.(im only the passenger)
no but if this is true , i would like to be corrected as i feel like an idiot after people have asked about the bike in regards to its history, if it is true why did he run methanol, it dosent need it.[/img]

this may sound stupid how do i upload my picture to this forum.

[Dazz]

you need to upload them to a site ( photbucket , bigpond blog or 1 of the other 1000+ sites .) and then link them

[bansheebuzz]

he didnt run methanol they tried to protest that he was running but would not front the money to protest it. there was a lot of rumor regarding the bikes engine and fuel, eg over sized cylinder but it was still 660, none of which were true
