Anyone else talking RACING?! <--- of the motorcycle type

Moto 3 as usual was the best racing. How many passes from 7th to 1st were there? Insane passing. A pissed off hornets nest, complete madness!

 

Watched parts of Moto 3 again........ Just wow!

 

Better than an afternoon coffee!! The next one is just around the corner. You going Thumbs?

Not doing the TT too many darn tourists, but I'm going to the the southern 100 after, much better racing, it's the one for the lads:triumphant:

Thanks for that link John. Racing against each other and not just the clock on those roads is just nuts!

 

LOL Duc, the big screen is nice for that sort of thing.

 

Love the super slow
(hey Mo) when gettin air all crossed up...balls ta the walls literally. ..
Love the guy and gal at the beginning holding his camera and not even flinching when the doin the fly by...
John McGuinness even breaking records at his age........ incredible

 

If Michael Dunlap is healthy I expect him and Hutch to win a bunch this year. JM too.

 

Holy crap! Look what Bruce Anstey is racing at the TT.

And if you think the Honda is a cool entry check out the 195 hp 270 lb V4 2 stroke from Stuter. Sick!

Hmmmm RCV213V with race kit, verses a proper stroker ! at the TT will be interesting.

 

Suter?

I stumbled on to that bike when looking for 2-strokes. What a cool unit! Why isn't Bombardier using a direct injected twin in a 285 lb. 500 2-stroke? Even for closed course, it'd sell well, I believe.

 

I think we will see direct injection 2 strokes that meet EPA requirements in the future. The only problem is that it will no longer be a simple quick to rebuild light weight motor. It will be heavier, probably somewhere between a carb 2 stroke and a 4 stroke engine with a lot more working parts than a carb 2 stroke. But fuel delivery across the power band would be fantastic and fuel efficient.

 

Interesting read...

Fingers are crossed but hopes are not high.

 

Not a good race 1 for Cam; especially after a great start... Hoping for tomorrow.

 

Michael has just won the NW200, broke Josh Brookes lap record on his Hawk BMW, Hutchy 2nd on the Tyco BMW

Tonight is first practice so with everyone feeling this is their year it's looking good, shame the TV coverage is rubbish

 

SPOILER BELOW...









Well, Tom wins where he's supposed to, though not as easily as everyone thought. JR has some sort of mechanical/electronic gear shift gremlin which he needs to figure out, all while continuing to build points over his rivals, who continue to put themselves out of contention with a lack of consistency. Chaz has a forgettable race 1, as does Cam; but, race 2 is better for both. And PJ does well in his race, and I hope this get's his year back on track... Though Kenan is still the king.

 

Superglue will be the Rossi of WSS racing......37 and still racing against the kids. Should have left that class years ago, but more and more guys are sticking around in the middleweight categories....Kinda like millenials that stay living with their parents well into their 30's.
