Oh yea, in fact I bought of set used Carlisle rear tires today, but I moved too fast on them before finding out they were 18x950x8's and I wanted the 16's I was running in the only pic I have found of me racing it.202909



I also had another set of low profile fenders made in clear but with the powder coat mixed in but they were the first ones the fiberglass guy had ever tried to do that with and they came out splotchy so I'm just going to paint them.

I would trade someone my Powroll pipe for a nice race Super Trapp if anyone has one.

I don't know what you are talking about. I was going to build a 200 2 stroke like the one I raced but I forgot the member I was going to get the 200x roller from. One thing at a time I guess.

He's talking about the powroll add in his first post. It says you ditched your factory 200 2-stroke and borrowed a powroll 200x and won in Iowa.

Oh yea, I didn't look at the ad. Team Honda was going to Iowa and they called me and said they didn't have room for my 2 stroke in the trailer so they said to stay home. I got ticked off, I was racing for a living and they tell me to stay home! Powroll wasn't happy either so they paid to fly me out. Then I had just sold one of my motors to Bobby Ekered so he said I could race his 200x in the 200 pro class and he raced it in his 200 class. Just happen to be a real tacky track so the 4 stroke worked better and I kicked their butts!:lol: Honda got mad,Sparks got mad at Honda because he didn't have his 4 stroke there but they still had to pay me win money along with Hondaline so it made for a good pay day!:)

I don't know how high I went on this one but it's the one I didn't think it was going to land good. This was the second Iowa race and the first time I rode the 2 stroke. The jumps were like Super Cross motorcycle type jumps that shot you sky high. I had never jumped that bike before and this was the first lap of practice. I was going way to fast coming up to so I just gas it! I did land OK but that's the one I remember most.

I know the highest was at Powroll during a shoot out of my 85' and 86' 200x. The 85' is the one ATC007 has but the more I remember I broke the chain adjust on the 85' because I was jumping or landing so hard it pushed the swing are bolt so hard into the chain adjuster it folded the threaded part of the adjuster and the chain came of when I landed. But the pick that day was of the 86' after that. I had showed the pic on here and can get it tonight if you want. I wish I had the side pic of Ohio Fair race when Sparks and I didn't clear a double jump and we both crashed. The space between these jumps scared me when I seen it from the side view, real dumb with only 6 inches of travel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:lol:
