JerrySTL ★ Posted December 17, 2018 Share #2 Posted December 17, 2018 Good sportsmanship is always great to see. I imagine that tire choice could have made a big difference in those conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d be surprised how LITTLE tire choice seemed to make. But tire pressure seemed to make a big difference. It is reported that Katie F’ing Compton rode 11.5 lbs of pressure! it was Sofa King muddy that it just packed in everywhere. The knobbies basically turned to slicks after 1/4 lap. What was really important was a pit bike. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like too much work. I loved racing in those conditions back in the day with my 250cc and open class motorcycles but if you can keep the speed of rotation on the wheels fast enough they fling all that mud clear (onto the poor sucker behind you, don't be that guy). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted December 17, 2018 Share #7 Posted December 17, 2018 I Looked at this picture yesterday and I was struck by the thought, memories actually, of what it is like to exhaust yourself in a valiant effort. Part of what it means to be an good adult. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching the pit crews at Worlds a few years ago blasting bikes with a high pressure power washer then dumping lots of lube on the bike just in time for the next bike switch. Did some of the juniors have a pit crew and spare bikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did some of the juniors have a pit crew and spare bikes? Just about all of the good ones. G had a pit bike. A dad from the team was his pit crew. They had four or five pressure washers running non stop. G pitted twice a lap. The dad would take dirty bike and run to a pressure washer to wash it off and have it clean just in time for G to roll back through on a muddy bike and trade out. Then the cycle would start again. No all heros wear capes? 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
