LSR Update

We're in!

I sent the application for our number and position in on Saturday. Q&D* Racing is on the move.

We will be running the Moriwaki in the 100cc Modified Gas class. To be honest I can't imagine setting a record this year. It will be predominantly a learning experience to see what we need to do to get there.

We'll make our runs like we mean it but just getting there with whatever we need to run will be challenge enough this year.

Wish us luck!

  1. Congratulations!
    Have you acquired spares for the Moriwaki yet?
    Some reading on the SOHC/4 forums revealed an interesting Mod that Ford did on the their 327 Cobra engines that effectively acted like a boost (turbo) at higher rpms. A restriction was added in the intake tract before the valve pocket and they domed the head above the valve.
    That mod yields noticeable gains on the dyno and seat of the pants... Are you intending to play with gearing this year or otherwise?

    Velocity stacks on the carbs?
    Or set the baseline and move from there...

    Some video sessions to show you your profile on the bike at speed to run through the drill of making yourself as compliant with the bike as possible to minimize the frontal area...
    What's your thoughts and plans?
    Granted you don't want to give away secrets your competitors could use against you...

    Calculated the optimal carb jetting for the LSR runs?
