Motorcycle Racing

If memory serves right, the first Terrafirma video has: Pennywise - It's Up to Me Alice in Chains - Nutshell Alice in Chains - Them Bones Lucy's Fur Coat - Same Lucy's Fur Coat - Still I Complain Sandbox - Can You Feel? There are also parts of a song by The Future Sounds of London played during the segways, but I don't know the name of it.

Aprilia, BMW, CCM, Cobra, Ducati, Gas Gas, Honda, Husaberg, Husqvarna, Kawasaki, KTM, Polini, Suzuki, TM Racing, Vertemati, VOR, Yamaha that are all active dirt bike manufacturers. There are also numerous companies that no longer manufacture dirt bikes.

Throughout history, racing has been about cheating. In the highest circles where tech inspections are strict cheating is less fluent - IRL, F1, etc. - but it still takes place.

However, we aren't talking about the highest circles, we are talking about circle track which is all about cheating and getting away with it - if you aren't cheating you aren't going to win or even finish mid pack.

Here are the most popular cheats:

- Make aftermarkt parts look stock

- Tire size matters. Purchasing wider tires and rebadging them as a smaller size, running a shorter/taller tire/rim for gearing reasons, etc.

- Brake bias, in classes that do not allow brake proportioning valves. Stock, 70% of your braking force is on the front tires which just causes the nose of the car to push on a dirt track. *Partially* blocking the front brake lines with a BB will help this. Running a stock brake proportioning valve from a 4 wheel disc brake car on the same chassis car equipped with rear drums will bias braking toward the rear. Cutting away part of the front brake pad so there is less braking force on the front wheels also works.

- Check out Davis Technologies traction control. Pricey, but proven.

- Corner weighting. You can do really crazy things like moving engine position in classes where shock/spring tuning is allowed.

- Revalving shocks in classes that do not allow suspension modifications. A lot of the OE shocks can be cut open and re-valved if you are crafty.

- Torque converters. Check out TCI's "stock appearing direct drive" torque converter, it's a light weight fluidless unit that fits inside a stock converter's housing. They were made EXPRESSLY for circle track cheating. Less drivetrain loss = more power to the ground.

- Lightweight rotating assembly ($$$), primarily crankshaft/flywheel/torque converter.

- Pertronix makes some Ford and GM ignition modules that charge the coil with a higher voltage to increase spark intensity. Most modern vehicles don't need ignition system upgrades, but if you're still fooling around with pre-90s iron it's a good idea.

- Mix your gas with 20-25% nitropropane. It's undetectable unlike other solutions.

Hope this helps!

"I'm going to sit here and lie to you - I'd never cheat" - Robert Yates

"I always told my guys, 'Cheat neat and you'll get by with a bunch of stuff.' I don't particularly tell my guys to cheat. I just tell them not to get caught." - Richard Petty

"There's a difference in cheating and creating. I was creating." - Junior Johnson

"Over half the 1970 NASCAR rulebook was dedicated to me" - Smokey Yunick

"I know they are cheating because I am cheating and they're beating me." - Richard Petty

In motocross racing there is not a set amount of laps it is asmany laps you can do in the set time (A race is normally between 20-40 minutes depending on how old you are etc)

The first event to carry the name Grand Prix was the Pau Grand Prix in 1901 but In June 1895, the Chicago Times-Herald newspaper announced the very first motor car race.

Backfiring is an indication of lean mixture (not enough gas). First thing to do is make sure you don't have any leaks in the exhaust system at the head pipe or the muffler joint that could be pulling in cool air and contributing to the back firing. Second thing is you want to make sure the air jet passages in the back of the carb are clean and the pilot jet is not partially blocked. Third is, assuming step 1 and 2 are ok, put in some fresh high octane gas and richen up the pilot jet.

As far as the US goes it is Ricky Carmichael.

Its more about your riding ability than a set age. If you can physically handle the bike and have confidence with it, go for it.

These are the major titles that Ricky has won.

yes! i love racing motocross and i think it would be very fun to see.. it would be just like the motocross de nations!

With The specimens and the international conflict. Ide say that it would be the nitro speed limitations of the world habitat... From the religion of conflict managment Phychology so its to do with what tricks and backflips you do depending on the degree.

If you mean, employed by Motocross Race Teams, "very few", the talent level of the competition is extremely high, so teams look for the very best all over the World. A Motocross Rider must be good enough to catch the eye of the Team, then show promise and the ability to win.

Assen is the only survivor from the inaugural 1949 World Championship calendar and the event continues to be held on the last Saturday in June, Sunday racing having originally been frowned upon for religious reasons.

i think he has an adopted child... i dunno....i saw him with vale sometimes ago while vale's celebrating his win at a race...

That would be Luca Marini, his half brother, who is also now racing bikes.

VR¦46 has no children at this time.

The Canadian Motorcycle Association's 1971 Canadian Nationals were held at Totem Raceway in British Columbia. The championship winners were: 125 Expert - Larry Watkins, California, DKW

250 Expert - Ron Keys, Oshawa, Ont. Husqvarna

Open Expert - Seppo Makinen, Ontario, Husqvarna You can find a lot of information about Canadian motocross history at this site: http://www.motoparkracing.com/articles/cmh/index.htm

Motorcycle racer Travis Pastrana is 34 years old (birthdate: October 8, 1983).

Cary Heart landed the first backflip in COMPETITION in the best trick competition of the 2002 X Games. He wrecked attemting it at the 2001 X games, he also almost landed it the the 2001 Gravity Games but fell of when riding away.

It depend on a number of variables, the sponsors and number of sponsors, the contract they signed, and more importantly, "How good they are" Bonuses can/could be paid for hole-shots, wins, places and so-on. The more wins they have, the more valuable they become. Ricky Carmichael had a contract with Honda for 2 million dollars a year. So if they are good enough, the monies can be substantial.

nitrogen has significantly less moisture than compressed air. By eliminating as much of the moisture as possible you have a much more stable and predictable air pressure increase as the tire heats up.

This varies wildly. For an Elite league team, there are 7 "places" for riders. Usually all 7 will attend a meeting, but in the event of an injury, Rider Replacement strategies (where one of the other 6 riders covers his heats) is in place, or another rider may "guest" in his spot.

For other competitions this can change. Such as World Cup, there are 5 riders, Team Pairs there are 2 riders per team.

It says to put .4qts (400ml) in the case and 1.4qts (1400ml) in the jug. If you have tranny whine then add 200ml extra. so... .5qts in the crankcase and 1.5qts in the jug rotella 15w40 works the best for the tranny whine too. yes the $11 1 gallon jug you can get at walmart... www.ltr450hq.com
