Here's an old one when I first got the motor going, and the first time I ever raced/met Morse.

Thanks for sharing Polonda.  Them motors were badass prior to the cp era.  Kinda miss those days, you knew who the real  motor builders were!!!!  What's the status of the polonda theses days?

It's sitting in my garage collecting dust.  Life's been crazy the last couple years so it has sat.  Bought a new house, kids started racing MX, etc.  I enjoyed building the motor and to this day I still think it can hold its own to most.  I did it all myself on a very small budget.  But your right if it wasn't for me having the machinery and knowledge to do it just throwing a Cp cylinder on it would of been the way to go.

Before it got put away I had just made some pretty serious changes( welded transfer, welded on rotax 800 intake, 48 Lectron, new dome, and the MSD.  Only had it out once since then and hope to get it out this year again and gets some tuning on it.  

If I could come up with a suspended drag chassis to lighten it up that would be a plus as it has no lightening at all.

Maybe I'll find out one day......

Not the way I was hoping to get one.  Do you still have a stock override sitting around?

Nice videos.  I would have guessed that it would have been a lot wilder of a ride with the short swingarm and all that power.  I see the wheelie bar in a couple, but that early run(last video) didn't look like you had one.  I guess it takes some practice to ride it like that.

Man would I like too, but I'll be spending the weekend at the MX track with my boys. I'm working on getting it ready for my first available opportunity though.
