Sweet thanks russell
-
No problem, deffiantly plan on being at the Bakersfield one. Bring the toyhauler and camp for the weekend.
We had a freaking blast the last two years there.
-
Yeah man i'll see what we can do. Hopefully we can bring more than just my bike down. or hopefully mine will be running ha. you will probably have a banshee by then huh?
-
Bakersfield is a really good event
Plus its a 4 day event with plenty of test n tune runs
-
cool. test n tune is probably a good thing for someones first time. will triple buff paddles hold up because its not actually sand is it?
-
Triple buff is fine
They groom the track really good
-
Johnny the setup you had would be good. I would add some struts and a bar and you will be good to go.
-
Ok cool. I cant afford new tires ha. I could probably make struts and a bar myself too huh?
-
Care full Johnny, its addictive!!!!
-
Better than a drug addiction!
-
I plan on putting struts on my bike and adding a wheeeeeeeeeeeeelie bar for next years event here in Bakersfield... already have plans to beef up my motor :) it will be getting done next month!!! watch out Johnny im comin for ya!!! hahaha -Simon
-
Haha we'll see about that! I'll hopefully make it to bakersfield this time around
-
hahaha hope you can make it out brotha!!!!
-
I hope u guys are ready ,I got my 100 pound brother racing my bike this time....lol
-
Haha me too! Dang ported r! What'll he be on?
-
Well it depends how much practice he can get in before then
And how much I wanna spend ,I could do a fresh 310 (bore and hone to next size)
Or a 5mil 350 (370)
Either way it well be a trx with struts and wheelie bar
Idk if he could ride a 370 ,I'm thinking a fresh 310 topend with good gearing and a 100 ibs rider should pull good times
-
Heck yeah man! Thats awesome! How old is he?
-
15
I've always raced my own stuff ,but about a week ago he tells me he wants to race my bike
Got me stoked ,threw the long swingarm on,changed gearing,tires and lightened it up as much as I can
I'm ready to see him fly down the strip
-
im getting excited now!!!! hahaha I cant wait!! time to get back on my diet!!! lmfao -simon
-
anyone else gunna make it to the Bakersfield drags next year??? -simon
-
we will most likely be there with my dads honda, and my hopefully by then saber
-
Dang a saber
I geuss my diet continues...lol
I should have a pv 370 there
-
don't worry man i'll probably still be getting it tuned and setup right haha. Nice! Maybe i'll just take my 370 to see what it does and to get used to that kind of drag racing. Im sure its different than dune drag racing
-
Too tell u the truth
A lot of people run 370 or 350 setups out at bako
There are some bigger cylinders aswill
And yes 300 ft is totally different
-
I will be there as well, hoping to go faster each pass. Will be camping the whole time this year. Got some new stuff for ya AJ n Simon. Johnny, I "may" have something for you as well but it wont be a single.
-
I'm smelling a heads up class run
-
I"ll be there, I" ll have more porting and fresh topend, also found a 115 lb jockey, look forward to seeing some fast r"s there....
-
115lb? Damn. I am hoping to be 200 by then. Plus some lightening of the bike. Maybe I can get Colin to run it for a pass to see what it will do.
-

Ya I would let Colin take it for a pass aswill
U could take mine for a pass if u want to
-
im excited to race you guys. It sounds like its gonna be a lot of fun!
-
There are some 250r's that run there that are a lot faster then our dune bikes. Last year I think the fastest single was running 4.1s. But there should be 5-6 singles for us to run with. Will be a good class for sure.
-
I am going to try and come down for the Bakersfield race.
-
Nice. It really is a good time. A couple of us camp for the weekend right at the track. That way you don't have to drive to a hotel.
-
I got a surprise for you too Russ!!! lmao your not the only one with tricks up his sleeve!! :highly_amused: haha... yeah I think its gunna be a fun year at the drags... everone is doing some more to their bikes!! I cant wait to see how they run!! and johnny I hope you guys can come down... if that saber isn't ready just slap the 370 in and run it!!! quick310r I hope your jockey and hold on to that beast!!! if he can.. your bike is going to get some great times!! cant wait!! -simon
-
Hey Simon, Yah I hope so too, haha, I think I may have to put some bricks in his pocket an have him do some squats, just so he can start it, pretty sure i"ll be starting it for him, but should be a lot fun....!!!!
-
lmao that's a good idea!! haha he couldn't start that bike if his life depended on it.. just hope he doesn't kill the bike at the line!! lol :-)
-
I think we should all take turns taking passes on each others bikes!! :sign0157: -Simon
-
Since these are all "Dune" bikes, lets all make passes on our own stuff and compare. I build my junk so I can ride it.
Wheelie bars allowed in this friendly wager?
-
I like Russell's idea. I say yes on wheelie bars
-
Johnny your like 150lbs anyways so whats it matter for you. Us 200+ guys are hurting.
-
Haha 186 here
-
haha I was joking about riding other peoples bikes... I don't want to be responsible if anything happens... lol and I say yes on wheelie bars as well. as most of the bikes there will have them... im hoping to have mine built by then!!! it just sucks that ima spend like $300+ on building one and only gunna use it once a year... haha im hurtin for money right now :grey: well see what happens...
-
yeah johnny you may be 186lbs but your bike is a lot lighter!!! haha compared to mine at least!!!
-
Simon I was commenting on using super lite kockey's.
-
ohhhh I see.. yeah I totally agree! you should run your own bike!!! haha mr quick310R!!! hahahahah :sign0181: just kidding brotha!! it will be fun!!
-
Well shucks, next thing ya know you"ll be saying you won't like methanol with 20% nitromethane either...... Hahahaha....!!!!
-
lmfao that's funny!!! im just messing with you brotha... I know you just want to see the fastest time your bike will run! im not mad at you haha and hell, with that jockey it will be fast as hell!!!!
-
I'm pretty sure Russell and I will be using the same jockey for a fast pass...ha
-
I just really want to see how much difference 100 lbs will make in rider weight ... !!!
-
I'm pretty sure Russell and I will be using the same jockey for a fast pass...ha
I hope you have a fast enough bike for this party...................
Ahh man it will be a long couple of months
-
Well shucks, next thing ya know you"ll be saying you won't like methanol with 20% nitromethane either...... Hahahaha....!!!!
I remember someone complaining they couldn't get the alky to run right:fighting0082:

-

Ahh man it will be a long couple of months
U guys are cheating with ur wheelie bars and struts...lol jk
I'll run full dune setup
I'm just here to race and party
-

I'll run full dune setup
I'm just here to race and party
im not cheating man.. im just trying to keep up with everyone else!!! haha last year I ran a full dune setup and my fastest pass was a 5.33 and that was with shitty gearing.. after I changed my gearing it pulled a lot harder from bottom to top!!!! my goal is to run a 4.80 with struts and wheelie bar... its going back to the shop this weekend for a lil touch up so hopefully that helps :buddythings0002: -Simon
-
My setup probably won't be as fast as everybody's else's
But sure well be fun
-
it will always be fun man... what are you running again??
-
350 prox pv setup
Going to run race gas or alky not sure yet
I'm pretty sure Alky is cheaper
Plus I have to be nice to Russell ,my motor is in his hands...lol
-
I'll probably just run my shaws. They're stiff anyway. I dont have anymore money to spend haha
-
Haha thats funny man... yeah alky is cheaper but its harder to tune if you dont know what your doing with it.. know what I mean?? Im not gunna mess with alky.. haha
-
Ya true
I want to see how the pv setup runs
Should be killer in the dunes
Should come off smooth off the line at bako with good gearing on race gas
-
I'll probably just run my shaws. They're stiff anyway. I dont have anymore money to spend haha
your shaws will be fine johnny... but since I don't have any im just gunna buy some adjustable heim struts on ebay.. they are $125 for the front and rear!! with free shipping :emmersed:
-
Ya true

what porting is done to your 350 5mill?? and are you running a cr ignition?
-
what porting is done to your 350 5mill?? and are you running a cr ignition?
That's a good question
I'm not sure ,I bought the 5mil crank and cylinder setup about a year ago and I didn't find any markings on it
It's a Esr setup
Its at Nates bieng built right now
-
And no cr ignition ,I wish though
-
ohh that's cool.. what is nate doing to it if you don't mind me askin?? and yeah man that cr ignition does help out a lot!! it did with my motor at least :)
-
I pretty much had everything to assemble the motor(bearings,seals,gaskets )
But cases needed to be bored out ,I think nate is gonna test something on it for a bit
-
nice... hey did you get my pm??
-
Ya sent one back
-
hey Simon I know his stuff runs good. Just messing with him.
And damn do I wish my bike was that nice looking. Working on it here and there though.
I am also hoping to be in the 4.8's. Well thats the goal I am putting out there for myself. Need to pick up some 10pdl haulers I think. My worn out 8pdl did not hook hard enough.
-
Oh and AJ, I think I am going there this Monday. We''ll see what stuff I can scrape up.
-

Cool
I'm gonna run my 8 paddle haulers
I'm pretty sure thats enough for my setup
Wouldn't mind trying a glider setup
-
I know it is a ways off. But friday night we should have everyone together for a BBQ or something.

lmfao!!!! I know man, I just thought it would be funny If I wrote that.. hahaha yeah his bike is a piece of art for sure!!! very nice machine!! one day my bike will look just as clean but without all that shine!! lol PITA to clean!!! hahaha
4.8's is a good goal my friend!! for our setups at least.. hope we can both get there after struts and wheelie bars... :) yeah id like to get some triple buff 10 paddle rippers but im pretty sure its not gunna happen!! lol unless someone would like to let me borrow some for that weekend?!?!?! lmfao
-
Friday night sounds good... that would be pretty fun Russell...
-
what was your setup when you tried the 8 paddle haulers russell? I have 7 paddle 74 ro that i normally run and 10 paddle haulers with a 76 ro i think. My bike runs good with both but better with the 7. Thats at pismo though
-
I think his setup is like how my bike is setup at Pismo johnny...
-
oh ok just wondering. i would think that more paddle would be better there than at pismo right?
-
It's a 363 Sphinx. 22x11x8 8pdle hauler. There not full buffs though. I run struts at the track and I set it up so the swing arm is parallel with the ground. With the frame level as well. I did not hook good enough. My 60ft times were slow but my trap speed was good. Really just learning this track stuff as I go and have to do it on a budget.
-
how did your 8 paddle do at pismo? just trying to get an idea of the difference between the track and pismo so that im not completely lost when choosing tires ya know? I get what your sayin though
-
just take both sets with you johnny... your 10paddle and 7paddle and try them both out! and see what times you get... lol then ill try your 10paddles too haha
-
i probably will. haha im good with that. I have to get some honda wheels for them though.
-
I just cant see a saber not pulling 10 paddle haulers up any hill, your motor had no problems with 14 paddle extremes in the flats.
-
im still talking about my 370 dave. I figure the saber will take a little while before i get it to where i can run it right.
-
Ok, I still think your 370 can pull the 10 paddle haulers but I maybe wrong, just depends on the how much power it makes
-
i think it can too. it pulls them fine in the dunes but i guess we'll find out!
-
your the man johnny... im really thinking about getting some 10 paddle haulers... but I wanna try some before I spend the money on them... haha
-
Haha yeah i get that! They have yamaha wheels now bit i'll get some honda wheels before then. The drag axle makes it easy to run any paddles we have
-
Johnny you should be able to run the 10's. My bike dyno's right under 70hp. It wasn't even hooking hard enough to worry about needing a bar. It just blew the tires off at the line.
My plan is to run some 10pdl's and take some weight out of the lock-up so it will slip a little on the initial hit.
-
Ok well im gonna try both either way. You probably lost a lot of time spinning that much. For 70hp 10 paddle sounds about right. When i talkes to matt shearer a few weeks ago he said the most he saw an esr setup like mine make was 50-55 so mine is probably in there. He said he could get me to 70-72 on gasyou though if i sent him my motor
-
One thing about the Bakersfield race,they are always grooming the track
So pretty much ur gonna get the same surface on about every run
-
Thats cool! Im excited. My dads honda made 76 hp on johns dyno so that'll be there too. It was at 58 the way it was before. Should be a little faster haha
-
All this drag/bako talk makes me wanna get down there
-
You should come man! I dont know where your garage is but it cant be that far!
-
Come down
-
Oregon is not too far. Make the drive. There will be plenty of us drag newbs there that you can school.
You can stay in a tent at the track or there are Hotels near by.
-
Wouldn't be the first time I've slept in the truck to afford methanol. lol
-
Well I just put my vacation time in, if it is approved I will be getting there on Thursday. A couple of us will have trailers there so if you need a place to hang out during the day or get some shade come by.
-
Cool man! We're planning on making it as of now. I'll probably just run my 370. I cant seem to find extra money anywhere for the saber right now.
