Waynes Sprinter Build

A quick trial fit of the new engine bolt

Let the build commence

 

Looks interesting...................

 

drag racing, the sport of kings......

 

Forks shortened to fit the fork tube, welded and in

 

do scooter sprint bikes have to meet stuff like SFI and FIA standards?

 

No, Straightliners have cut through all of the red tape to try to encourage more racers into the sport. There are some requirements/rules etc but basically your scooter gets Scrutineered by a NSA Licensed Scrutineer at the start of the day and if you pass off you go. You can even get a license for the day which you can get on the day. All of the info, rules/regs are on the straightliners website

thats good, its frustrating that drag racing has so many regs to meet....

 

Fork legs are in

 

Unfortunately none of the runner wheels or the NRG front wheels that I have fit whith the booster forks. One Aerox front wheel purchased from eBay and should be here early next week.

 

i have a feeling a neos/jog wheel will fit those forks too... hmmmmm what sort of ET do you think you will run? do you run 1/8th or 1/4?

 

I'm building it for the 1/4, I haven't got a clue regarding what time or top speed yet. First time out its just going to have a standard 125 engine with a malossi 172 off the shelf porting a pm59 pipe and a 28mm carb. Standard gearing etc. I'm doing this just so I can get used to the frame and riding position. Once the first run is out of the way and I'm happy with how it rides then I can start on the other balls out motors
