So let's talk race results. Has anyone on here still manage to pull off a good finish on budget racer shocks?
Looks like a combo of the two.
They were piggyback stockers of a Honda 125 1980 I think. One had the piggyback broken off so I wacked the other one off and just added a air valve for nitrogen.
I modded the inners and on they went.
Looks good in red. Did you earn that # 1 in AHRMA or some other series?
FYI that up pipe I only used in mud or tracks where bottoming was going to be a problem. That engine/carb/reed really likes a DG dowm pipe if you can find one. Also swap the Webco for a DG head.
That's funny. You've obviously never seen me ride. The #1 was a Maty Smith tribute, it now carries #522 also for Marty Smith's first title year. The '77 cylinder and GEM reed that was on it I'm now running on another Elsinore with a DG pipe, picured and you're right about how it runs. Your bike now has a '74 cylinder I boost ported to the specs GEM used to send with their kits and it has a yamaha RD350 reed block welded on. I cut the original mid-silencer canister off the Protopipe that was on it and routed the stinger inside the frame to get away from the pass through hole in the number plate, the silencer now exits through a hole in the inner fender like the Mugen pipes do.
Was this taken in the Honda Hills pits ?
No evomx244.....that was taken at Casey Illinois in 2002.....my 1974 CR125 is next to ahrma479's.....
Smitty's Hodaka is back there as well as Troyans Penton 250......those were some fun days.......
Did that ring your bell the right way John479??? Remeber Benolkin flying around the place on a clapped 73 CR250 Elsie?
Definitely Casey......we were parked at the snow fence and the track ran right behind us....you can see the line in the track in that pic.....
Plus, the building you see is not a house...I believe it is the scoring tower for the flat track oval that was back there by the MX starting line......

Mike-you are correct that is Casey, vintage racing was so much fun in the 90's (I raced 98/99) Mid-west series was huge as I recall
