Yoiks!This is a shot of Portland raceway, AKA PIR, which is a clockwise track with 5 RH turns to 4 LH'ers. Of course T-1 is a double apexer but the fast bikes make a single apex out of it
Take a close look at the punishment the right side of the rear tire takes. And these are 10 to 12 lap sprints on brand new skins. My 750 in this pic weighed less than 350lbs and had 146hp at the rear.
Geoff, what did you guys do for new tire break-in in those days? Did they use mould releasing compound or was it different for race tires? I remember rolling out of my driveway after my first set of new tires - I didn't even get on the gas, only slowly let out the clutch, and the rear went squirrelly!I disabled signatures. -

That's fake. It's got a weird bumper, the gaps don't line up, and doesn't even have headlights!Saw this outside a restaurant......The back end looked pretty much like the front and had a paper plate on it.....brandnew. I didn't get to see the car drive away, I looked up and it was gone....
No, serious @msg Scott, it was a legit vehicle. It was parked there when we pulled up, but I didn't get it to see it drive away.

I was just repurposing one of Jesse's posts from that weird similar looking one a page or so back
That pic is fake. The front bumper is tilted down, yet everything is straight!?! Suuuure!
Then look at front panel/hood, they don't match up. Also, there's no headlights and there's no opening for air flow to the radiator.

Ah, we just mounted the new tires and put the tire warmers on them. They'd still have the stickers on them. You get a "sighting" lap before the start which you could use to scrub them in some, but they were pretty much ready to rock. You can see the wear by the edge from spinning up the rear. The edge would be green and purple at the end of the race from burning out the compound. I chose a soft front and a medium rear most of the time.
But yeah, way back in the day when I rode on the street, I'd take a file to the new tires to get them scuffed a bit.Source: BRP Panasonic UB9000, CDP Emotiva ERC3 - Display: LG OLED EVO 83 C3 - Pre/Pro: Marantz 8802A - Amplification: Emotiva XPA-DR3, XPA-2 x 2, XPA-6, Speakers, Mains/2ch-Focal Kanta No2's, C-LSiM706, S-702F/X, RS-RTiA9's, WS-RTiA9's, FH-RTiA3's, Subs - Epik Empire x 2

Most positions gained in a race...ever!! Due to being held up from getting fitted with a helmet cam and missing my warmup lap, I was forced to start from pit exit while giving the entire field of 40+ bikes a rolling head start.
Once the last bike's rear axle crossed the start/finish line, the flagger waved me off.....the result???? Went from dead last to 7th place with my eye on a couple more positions on the last lap....grabbed my two downshifts at the end of the straight, the transmission went into a false neutral, before I could grab the clutch, it dropped into second when I should've been in 4th, and it spit me off doing 120mph.
Minor damage to the bike and to me (I wasn't just a pro racer, I was also a pro crasher
). Gotter fixed up to make the next race that same afternoon.
The pic you're about to see will show me passing on the outside and while not recommended due to the guy in front of you could fall and take you out, sometimes exceptions just had to be made
......for your viewing pleasure.....

Also, I'm wondering about that thing on the left side of the church's sign. Is that a walking stick, indicating only a certain type of member is accepted, or is it supposed to be a shepherd's staff?"This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

Yeah, probably a shepherd's staff (like I guessed). The staff incorporates a hook for grabbing and moving the sheep/goats around the neck.Maybe a shepherd's thing-a-ma-jig?"This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine
