The DD2 were on Mojos, the 4 cycles on MG yellows.
I did look at lap times. The DD2 have only run once on a real tire. The last time out at The Track, the quick ones were in the low 54 second range. The 4 cycles at the CSC the week before were in the low 55 second range. I think we can run in the
The DD2 runs currently runs at 385#. As the package grows, next year they are going to a light and heavy. The 385# number sucks for most of the quick kids and the older race alike. Its a compromise weight. I hope the weights next year are something like 375 and 410.
A.J. Did not race but was in the 53’s in test and tune. I think with the best drivers and well tuned machines, it would be a hell of a race!
I hope they have a enough for a light and heavy in DD2. It would open up others to participate in the class and might keep the Rmax fire burning bright here even if the Grands are in another state. Do you think this will be at the Rmax level? But then, I also thought there would be interest in the Spec Moto class split too and it didn’t to generate enough interest.
It would be interesting to see Kyle / Greg in the DD2 and A.J. In the 4 Stroke with new rubber that is the same. Your right, the DD2’s have been on the Mojo but I don’t think that A.J. has run new rubber in a race with the 4-Stroke yet. Seems like A.J. has just been playing with them so far. Don’t want to speak for him though.
And both are great classes! No doubt. The 4 stroke is very fast and simple and suits the bigger than 185 -190 lbs crowd pretty well.
