I've been racing a 1/4 mile oval and scrambles here in MI, looking for more 1/4 mile tracks to run at around MI. All I have to do is change tires for each track. Pic with the holeshots is when I finished it, pics with the hoosiers is from today. Made a few changes in between like shortened shocks, lowering strut, cut the rear fenders, swaybar, carbon tank cover. Anyone know of any 1/4 mile racing besides I96?

Also wanted to say thanks to everyone who sold me parts, much apreciated.

Why exactly is one side of the axle WAY shorter than the other?

More traction on the outside edge.

The same reason dirt sprinty cars have a much much wider tire on the outside than the do the inside

Sweet R! Nice job.

Do you use it for MX, or is it strictly an oval racer now? Do the FLEXX bars help on ovals?

Nice bike, I'm happy you trimmed those rear fenders.

I race at another track thats more of a scramble type of race or tt, no jumps, just some straights and different style turns. The bars don't do anything for either track. I can switch it back to mx in about 30 minutes but will probably only do that when I go to the dunes.

Less than $3000, almost everything on this bike came from ebay, this site, another site and C&D. Theres only a handful of brand new parts on this bike, everything else was used and in exellent condition or close to it.

Must be the arms lol. Theres a local shop here that powders frames for $100 for solid colors $200 for the custom colors so my powder bill was cheap. I powdered some of the smaller stuff myself at a friends shop.
