Ha ha ha ha ha, now that's funny!!!! See if this story sounds familiar?

Shifter cart racing is very popular in my area. Years ago a friend of mine told me he was going to buy a cart and go racing. He must have saw the look on my face and asked what, what, what? I told him ..........aaaaaaaaaa................aaaaaaaaaa.... ........aaaaaaaaaa..........your going to get waxed dude.
He told me what kinda comment is that??? I know engines, I know chassies and I'm a good driver. What's your problem???
Weeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllll, let me see.................aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.............m y problem is I see a lot of you!!!! DUDE; you 6'6" and weigh what, 260 or so????
There were several classes including a starter class that a lot of 7 year olds were in. By the time they were 12 they were about as good as Jimmy Johnson!!!!
Some of those 70lb 12 year olds straped themselves into a 500CC wacked out 2 stroke shifter cart. They knew how to drive since they raced since they were 7!!!!
Those 12 year olds cleaned my buddies clock!!! He sold the cart about a year latter.

If I was running the show I would put a weight rule in place to even the show. It's only fair if you ask me.

N2O is as good as it gets HP for $$$"s. Nones better!!!! You can have a perfectly good mannered quad with N2O. But when your on the button it will be a handful!!!

If you ask me your on the right track dude and your going to go fast.

 

Hey big guy you know Ive been running it on my 650s since 01 and I love the stuff. Its a little more trouble but in the summer it is worth it. Get yourself an IV bottle and its very simple to purge. My suggestions are to run a topend lube and get it jetted correctly. I always used it on the TMs and have just recently started to play with the Lectrons on methanol. If you decide to PM me and Ill let you know a few things Ive learned. Randall will sell you an alky needle and some settings also. You will love it in the summer and hate it in the winter. When I really found out about how cool it keeps the motor I was at LS for snake hunt about 2 years ago. I had been making passes all day and it was hot. I had two TMs one on alky and one on gas. During all of these passes I was referring to I was on alky(methanol). I went back to camp and changed to the gas carb. I could tell a little difference as I made one pass. But then I heard the sound of my fan kick on at the end of a couple of runs. Granted it was around 100 degrees but It never kicked on when I was on alky. I thought that was awesome and never went back to gas. I run a Boondocker kit with it and have had very good results. By the way Klotz makes a topend lube as I had trouble finding a brand. Sometimes I add a little Klotz bean oil to the alky. Bean oil with mix with methanol to keep everything lubed up.

 

Doc and meaner covered all the good basis.

When I drag raced cars. I would run alky in my n20 fuel cell and gas for the motor. I had very good results with this. Although I had alot of money in the fuel system. It made alot of power on the bottle. Infact the car was a turd on the motor but would drop 3 seconds on the bottle. When I ran just fuel on the n20 it would drop around 2 seconds. When I switched to alky on the n20 is when it dropped 3 seconds. It took some time to get right but was worth it in the end. Nothing like running 12.50's then sprayin it and runnin 9.60's.

I have been wanting to try this with the ds but haven't had time. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Meaner, I figured you would chime in.

Doc, I use to be into boat racing with outboard motors. All those classes except unlimited ran minimal weights for each class, so that no one would have a huge advantage over another. Kept things competetive. But in quads theres no limits, so I have to find every advantage I can.

 

I have only read about this phenomena and have never tried it myself. I haven't even seen it done at the track.
AMD I figured if anyone has done this, you would be the person.
I've read you can pick up some power by doing this, but those numbers are crazy!!!! When I get my new car done I may have to put in a 2 gallon tank for my fogger!!!!
Can I ask what HP the system was set up to make? Must have been a bunch!!!!!
Thanks again for your input AMD. When you or several other people on this board post I always learn something!!!

1BigDSRider, that's too bad the show is run like that. Kind of makes it unfair for the bigger people.
IMHO; the promoters better get a handle on deal with putting 80lb kids on 125hp quads to get the advantage. Someone is going to get hurt if they don't.

 

Doctor I was running a wilson cross plate with NOS selonoids. Jetting wise it was around 275 to 300. Good thing about alcohol in the n20 is it wont detonate as easily so I ran more timing then I did when just on gas. Yeah you should try it!!!! Just make sure your fuel system can handle it. I had an an aeromotive a1000 on the motor and on the bottle. I ran the fuel pressure for the bottle at right around 15 lbs. I kind of miss it....

Doctor, we have seen that FSW have added a weight class to allow some of the normal size riders to be competetive. I dont see any problem with other events adding a weight class to the event. That being said, I still want to see a super heavy weight class for 300lbs.

 

I am thinking 275 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

In addition to a super heavy weight class I would like to see a "Fat F@ck" class for those of us 350 and over.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]LMAO

 

Dragon and Fatholly, will make the class 350 and allow riders to compete wearing ballist to make up the weight difference.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
