Racing in Hazlehurst

« on: November 19, 2006, 08:20:42 PM »

We raced in Hazlehurst last night, with Daniel winning the pro stock class, consistently running the fastest times of the night. And, for the third race in a row, had the losers whining about cheating. In September, after a few months of not racing, Daniel came out strong and broke the class record each of his first three passes, destroying the record set by a Jesup rider by more than a tenth. That night, had our stoke checked. In October, Daniel again lowered the record but had it broken by Brandon on what was an incredible pass. After the race, Carl asked to ride the bike to make sure we didn't have an overide transmission due to someone complaining. We should have gotten the $100.00 protest fee on that night, but somehow the whiner, unknown to us, got out of it. November's race, why be surprised, another haulin ass, kick ass nite in the pro stock, and another protest. This time a complete cylinder removal to check for a legal crank and make sure we didn't have straight cut gears.
It really is amusing, just aggravating at the same time. Th following is a post I made on 341 dragway web site, but it may be years before someone reads it there.

Had time to cool off since last night's racing, but still a little pissed, so here is my letting off steam. Ever since we have been racing in 2001, we have won and lost races. For a couple of years, racing was pretty equal as to equipment, set-up and racers. Now, there is still pretty much equality in equipment and set-up as seen by more than a couple of different bikes running a fast time on occasion; however, there is a big difference in riders. Daniel is obviously one of the best riders at the track right now, supported by the fact that not only is he fast, but consistently fast. We don't have the fastest bike, that would be nice, but Brandon, one heck of a rider, has the class record on a bike built by Carl. Cod is another of the best riders at the track. There is no doubt in my mind that you people that are losing, also known as losers, just need to learn to ride. Daniel will give classes to anyone wishing to get information on how to be a better rider, $50.00 each, but it is still up to the student to have the ability to comprehend the instructions and actually apply them while racing. Cod or Brandon would probably give classes also if asked. Otherwise, your option is to do what you falsely accuse us of doing, and cheating. As I was told when we were tearing down our motor for inspection, it's (I guess he was referring to cheating) part of racing. So I guess that's the type of people we are racing against, people who think they have to cheat to win. For 5 years now, we haven't had to cheat to win and we haven't always won. The only people we've had a problem with winning was some racers from Jesup the first of this year who outran Daniel in the stock banshee class, when challenged, we tore down the top three in the class, which ended up being only the top two because the third place racer quickly left saying he wasn't winning any money so there was no need to check his, pretty sure a copout because he was illegal as his buddy that won the class with a ported motor while our banshee was legal. Of course he was so stupid that he said he didn't think polishing the ports counted as porting, so I guess you could polish a bore to .100 over or more without calling it boring.

So to those of you who can't run the times Daniel run, practice, practice, practice, or let a real rider ride your machine. I'm sure Daniel could get up to 2 tenths of a second more from some of the bikes he outruns every race.
