Tooradin Dirt Drags March 16.

Seen the sign for this on the highway on the way back from the Supers, I've emailed them to see what sort of classes they're running so I can work out which bike to take, I'll let yous know when they get back to me.
I can't stop thinking about Hyo's GSX1100G & how the GSX1100F I've got sitting in the corner would be perfect to throw a knobby or paddle on & have a fang (if the clutch is up to it :confused:)
Anyone keen to have a run or go for a look?

Oh yeah, there's a burnout comp too... Kev... :o

Keen

I'd be keen but I'm working at the F1 the weekend.

I've got a brand new 17 inch 140 paddle sitting in the shed if you want it Turbo.

.

Its just sitting in the shed gathing dust, owes me nothing. Its turbos for the postage if not its yours bloke.

Then again it may not fit.

red ill be keen for it , got a pic ??

turbo you build a dirty and we will race em down the side of the heathcote track at x mas

I was going to offer it to you when you started your project , but finding a 17" to fit the shafty might be an issue so left it sitting in the shed.

LOL
So TK is a dirt track cowboy afterall.

140 you say , can you measure for me the hieght of the side wall from the edge of the bead where the rim is to the peak of the paddle , I have on it at the moment a 130 ill shit in a 140 its just height that will be the challenge

Went out to the shed , seems I was wrong (in my defence its been a while since I looked at it, and I drink alot) its an 5.30 18 inch dunlop dune hopper its 120mm at its widest point (tread) and is 115mm from rim side of bead to highest point of tread/scoop .

Bugger it

Scotty - Will you be back in Vic soon or what? We have a score to settle after our WSBK Campground 'race' when you cheated by having Marsha on the back for extra traction ;)

Ivan - Saucer of beer mate?

Red - Thanx mate but I have a paddle to use.

Hyo - 'Build' is a strong word, I was thinking more along the lines of 'Strip off everything except the seat & handlebars, stick a tyre on the back & fill the fueltank' but you're on for Heathcote (bring a trials tyre & we'll have a go on the speedway track too)

Aido - How many times have I told you to go fuck yourself now?... I know, I'll put it in caps - GO FUCK YOURSELF !!

Anyone got a lockup for a diaphragm Gix clutch or do I hafta get the Mean Dean Machine to CNC me one?

cheers for the measurment , unfortunatly no one seems to make a 17" paddle tyre not even in the US of A , i can get one made if i supply a carcus or a road slick but alot of tracks dont allow the grafted tyres as the come apart , and now tyres with bolts are banned (i cant understand why , farken hell dodgy)

Do they allow "cut stock tyres ? " I have used agressive knobbies cut to look about the same as paddle tyres in the past on a mud racer, they worked great. I just cut 3 rows out and left 1 then 3 out etc. I used the air saw to cut the knobs off at about 2mm left on the tyre , Blokes doing scrutineering seemed happy enough.

Well that was a surprise, going by the turnout today it seems that dirt drag racing is not very popular :confused:
There were only about 20 bikes running & maybe 100 spectators.
I never got a reply from the organisers about the different classes & I spoke to 4 'Officials' today & nobody knew shit about anything.
Seems to me if it was a bit better organised/promoted there would've been more competitors.

Was this who you tried to contact TK?
Doesn't look like anything else planned for Vic for the rest of the year.

I only just saw this thread bugger it so what time where you there mate? jen and i poked oue heads in for a bit of a lookfrom about 3:oo pm. your right the event needs to be much better organised then it could be a great event. i must say it was a bit like swmming in the deep end of the gene pool with some of the spectators

I left around 3, we must have passed each other on the way in/out :(
& yeah, there were quite a few knuckle draggers there... I felt right at home!

not all us dirt draggers are knuckle draggers :p , sounds like the event run here at beverly , disorganised , by the vids of it on youtube too much iron there anyhow
