madcat6183 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Awesome man! I was wondering when we would get some word on how things were looking for 2013! I'd assume with an engine from Jordan, you won't have the power issues or lack there of, like last year? Glad to hear that things were able to be worked out and looks like you're carrying more sponsors than last season? Looking forwad to updates on this thread as my AFJ account is blocked my work for some reason, and I can only access OR during the day.

gixxie750 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 This is a brand new Jordan supersport motor. If its down on power i will freek out!!! I picked up some good sponsorship and its looking great for 2013 season. Build should take about a month so I will update as I get stuff done. Also will be rocking all new gear this season so maybe i wont blend in so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Brandon - I was reading on AFJ that you're looking at 1 WERA round (presumably to get things sorted out) and then 3 AMA rounds. Is that all due to budget, scheduling, or something else? If you don't do more than 4 race weekends, the AFJ crowd might start making fun of you for posting more than riding ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Budget is key. I spend $4000 min at each AMA round with travel,crew etc.. The wera round is to check bike and shake cobwebs off after the winter. If i find more cash i will do more rounds. Its crazy numbers to think of spending lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat6183 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 If I had money like you two I'd wipe my ass with $20s.Right dude, right. Shit, with us looking to build or buy in the next few months along with our current home, shit is going to be tight, much like Cox's ass was before I got done with it. But for real, if what we want to do happens, not sure how this season will go down. Already have some commitments to track days and races, but that's just because I gotta get competitive with the faster guys.You're the baller, not to mention you ain't gotta drive 3+ hours to every track! I have Cbus maybe we should just move closer to all the tracks LOL. When can we spoon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Sweet buy, should be way ahead of last years bike on power. I couldn't believe my ears when Grape said how many ponies you'd lost AFTER the tune at MidO Good luck this year, and hopefully the YoshZuki paintscheme will provide even more juice to put you closer to the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 My goal this year is to try to top my best finish of last year. If i could at least qualify 15th again and maybe finish 15th I will call it a major success. If i do any better than that its a HUGE bonus for me! I had 105hp last year. The avg bike had 115+HP. Anything over 110hp will help massively! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Awesome man! It's amazing what you can spend on little things at just the WERA events... AMA just goes that much further. Which class are you running this year? SS or DSB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I think i am stuck in supersport. I would try DSB at mid ohio,but only there lol. Yea ama is about $1000 more than a wera event. All cost really depends on is tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 $4,000 per round is actually less than I would have guessed, at least if you want any chance at being competitive. I'm sure you can show up and pay your entry fees for less, but the additional tires, additional money spent on having a competitive motor build, etc. definitely adds up very quickly.Wish I had money just sitting in a closet to cover a 5th round for you. Good luck this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 $4000 is deff not my "dream" budget,but its a Good one to try with. I think I prob am spending half of what most others are spending. Its sooo fun it's worth every penny and is fun as can be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Not ugly at all imo, just incomplete. I was told the front of my bike is ugly as hell and why would I ride such a nasty lookin' bike......I just walk them around to the tail and ask 'em how THAT looks since thats all they're gonna see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
