DAMNIT TO HECK

Ever since we have been racing minisprints there has always been somebody cheating. If I'm cheating and you beat me you got to be cheating. I think in the 15 or so years we have been racing minisprints we have been beaten by 2 cheaters. One guy used doctored fuel and the other guy used a shot of nitros ever so often I was told 10 years after the fact. We have been out driven, we have been out setup and we have been out lucked but very seldom beat by a cheater motor.

Unless you go real big bore and stroke You aint going to make any more power than a well tuned stock motor. If you do go real big you will probably drop out a few races a season because of engine problems. AMSA had this problem many years ago, they could get more power but you were also going to use a motor or 2 a year, got so expensive they almost went out of business.These 1000cc motors are about as powerful as you can get them without becoming a hand grenade.

That was the advantage of the 1000cc motors they had as much power out of the bike as a full race Orient Express 1200cc motor had. If we weren't racing I would be glad to do tech inspections, But we wouldn't find very many cheaters because they just ain't there.

If you want to beat this kid > Get a good chassis, Get a good set of shocks, new bars and springs, get your car and driver down to min. weight,a balls to the walls young hot shoe and last but not least a new sticker right rear tire (Good for about .2 second a lap.)

Then the other racers will accuse you cheating. If you want to regulate these things do it with weight and right rear tire rules. You are just putting too much importance in the job of the motor.
