Hey i liked the story. I think its a good race considering its comparing apples and oranges. To level the playing field you have to make horsepower and torque equally importaint. You have double the torque and he has double the hp.

You know the ironic thing about your post? I have actually competed in sanctioned hill climb events where there were nitro powered super bikes competing. I have actually drag raced many times, probably made several hunderd passes on the 1/4 mile track, and I have actually raced against a full on sub 10s drag bike. I rode for several years on the motocross circuit, racing every single race in the seasons when I competed. Not to mention many other types of racing I've competed and won in, short track 1/2mile dirt, tt to name a few.

And you? Let me help you. NONE. Not even one lousy race of any kind.

So go ahead and laugh your head off because you have no idea what you are talking about.

nope, not proud of this effort in any way. What started as a light hearted story ending in a pissing match is not something to be proud of.
