  1. Guy at work had a jr. Dragster for sale for a long time.

     

    CARSANDMILK.COM

     

    That's a great sport! I ran Jr's after we got out of Motocross. Made the jump into a full supercomp rail car very easy. well as easy as it can going from a 8.x @80mph 1/8mile jr into a 5.0x at 135mph 1/8 rail... lol Jr's can be quite expensive as well, but the nice thing is that it's all dial in racing(mostly). so if you can't afford the big bore high dollar engines, then you just run slower times. It's all driver. And relatively safe.

     

    I'm a bike guy though, so it was back to roadracing and motocross after high school.

  2. one thing about that h2r though... compared to the panigale... it's going to have a seriously huge torque curve being boosted. Best advantage of a S/C setup is all that instant torque throughout the curve, not just the peak number.

  3. The bike will have access to Traction Control, Wheelie Control via the handlebar like the SL currently has.  The bike also features qucik shift up AND down for race use.  Also has a bank angle or lean angle sensor for ABS.  Meaning, it will now be a lot more sensitive to the angle of the bike and brake pressure.

     

    Think of it this way - for WSBK, we need this to be on the bike prior to race trim.  It cannot be added per rules.  So, Honda has their SP, Yamaha their "M" version and we have the R.  BMW will have another HP4 (BMW couldn't squeeze an additional HP to get to 200hp).  Not sure what Kaw or Suzuki will do if anything...

    Honda is really falling behind.... not much for changes at all for 2015... all ready down on power and everyone's just bringing bigger badder guns
