Re: Shootout cheater caught after the fact, making me look like an *sshole

It's a good thing they didn't have these shoot out's in 1970. I am sure my 634 Super Mod Moto-Ski would have kicked everybody's butt. It came stock with twin mega phone pipe's. Anybody remember the good ol days?

Re: Shootout cheater caught after the fact, making me look like an *sshole

jtssrx:

 You guys are missing Tony's point. I'm not suprised of course.

 

Tony Don't waste your Time Dude. I stop wasting my time once I bought a race sled and realizied these trail sled keyboard racers are clowns whihc included me. Look at what this guy did just to be the fastest trail sled. he takes what's suppose to be a demonstation of what a sled out the of teh box can do and he Ruins it!!!! That's why I don't care about how fast my trail sled is against anyone elses. I know my sled is 100% stock motor wise and that I have nothing to hide. When I want to race I take my race sled to the ice. Will I race down a road with my trail sled? Ya I will but I'll never get in to arguement over who's trail sled is faster ever again!!!! 

JT YOUR RIGHT. !! ITS REALLY TOO BAD THIS HAPPENED. ALL THESE GUYS STARTING WITH JIM REALLY MADE THIS A GREAT EVENT. HOPE IT DON,T RUIN IT. 3:16 (yammie tony)

ACTUALLY THERE WAS A SHOOTOUT IN 1981. I BELIEVE SNOW GOER DID IT. I WAS ROOTING FOR THE 1980 SRX, THE 1981 SRX DARTH VADER WAS IN THE U.S. YET. CAN YOU IMAGINE ME ROOTING FOR THE SRX. 3:16 (yammie tony)

GEEZ BILL, I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A BIG DEFFERENCE BETWEEN A ISR LEGAL SLED AND A PRODUCTION SLED. rotflmao !!! AND BELIEVE ME I KNOW A STOCK SRX WON,T RUN A 5.50s. I DO KNOW A LEGAL ISR STOCK FIRECAT WILL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  3:16 (yammie tony)

I'm not the one who first brought up the grass drag times. This is pointless. I would rather argue with my wife, she makes more sense. The Yamaha is still the fastest sled of all time if that's what you are trolling for.Sleep

Re: Shootout cheater caught after the fact, making me look like an *sshole

I wonder if the motive behind this might be that someone has a bunch  of  "stock" Crossfire R 1000's they are looking to sell.......??????? 

 Bottom line is, all this attention will sell more selds even if it is negative.

 I beg to differ. A ISR legal SRX will run in the 5.5's

Justin Mills(?) took me out enough times running  his SRX. I guess I'm the only one that doesn't get Tony's arguement. Someone please enlighten me. Better yet, forget it. I don't really care.Tongue Tied

Re: Shootout cheater caught after the fact, making me look like an *sshole

 Rumor has it that it had a y pipe and a modified ECU.

Re: Shootout cheater caught after the fact, making me look like an *sshole

looneytune:

Tony, there is a big difference between an ISR legal grass drag sled and a production sled. It's an apples and oranges comparison. You are allowed reprogrammed ECUs and timing adjustments. You can't run Y pipes, so if somebody did, they were cheating. A stock Firecat ECU won't run right in the grass without more fuel added. Do you really believe those SRXs run 5.50s stock out of the box? Back in 02 my ZR800 ran 5.50s and Glenn Hall was running high 5.40s with his ZR800 EFI. Why wouldn't a Firecat with more HP and less weight run 5.30s? Power to weight ratio, it's simple math.

As to the Shootout sleds, they are supposed to be out of the box stockers, dyno certified, locked away and brought to the track. Jim has already said in his blog that "we allowed Big Moose to keep the sleds, no dyno certification and lock-up, let them run in the Unlimited Stock class amongst themselves." If that sled was dynoed at Jim's, it would have most surely been caught with the extra HP. Admittedly, the tech was much too relaxed this year which falls on the tech guys that helped Jim. I was one of them, so it falls on my shoulders. I should have done a better job as I explained earlier. It won't happen again. I'll quote the Intimidator, "It is what it is". Unfortunately, nothing can be done about what happened this year. I look forward to next years 20th Anniversary race, it should be a good one.Yes

INTIMIDATOR, MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET NEW GLASSES.  NOT MY WORDS. '' YOU REALLY BELIEVE THOSE SRX,s RUN 5.50,s STOCK OUT OF THE BOX ''.!! NO, I KNOW THEY DON,T. BUT YES A ISR PREPED ONE WILL. YOU GO BAYSIDE FOR LUNCH TODAY. REREAD!!!!!!!!!! 3:16 (yammie tony)

You must be new. YAMIGOD has been posting in CAPS since this site was founded. Back off of him he's a respected member of the site.  His love of Yamaha's is hardly making Yamaha owners look bad.

 No bayside, No Glasses needed. Yours words above. Thought it was a misprint. Didn't know why you would compare a stock SRX to a ISR Firecat. Statement made no sense to me
