To catch a cheater

[Team_Serpent]

I do definitely agree that it raises an eyebrow

I'm sure some neck hairs as well

It's obvious that the AMA knows this.

 
Obviously the old AMA knows this, it will be interesting to see what DMG's view will be.

He certainly builds other motors and chassis that we don't know about too.

Who's keeping count? 

Are private riders the ones with access to special parts, tooling, and coatings that are by design supposed to be stealthy?  No.  Privateer cheating is usually simple.  750 in a 600, 1100 in a 750, use of Scotchbright. 

I guess it would depend on how simple the privateer is, who they know and how honest they are.

Scotchbrite?

Scotchbrite?

That is in reference to something that happened at Louden/New Hampshire Intl Speedway a while ago.  I don't remember the names, but a dude who placed top 3 or something was torn down after the race and DQ'd because "metal had been removed from the head."  The engine builder had used a Scothbrite pad to polish the head.....

It was something like that

[Protein Filled]

It was Chouinard and it was supposed to be about using scoth brite on the valves.

I have an interesting photo everyone might want to see.

My brother happened to be down at Daytona and shot over 800 photos of the weekend.
I was browsing and came across Josh Hayes engine Tech photos! There is a photo that is his motor split apart where you can see a polished crank! The photo is a bit blurry and its all he has.
Here is a link to the photo! http://a583.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/83/l_a1f724f17dbf4f43028e9063052a137e

Here is a link to his AMA tech photo album. http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=33478601&albumID=

Check out his photos of the pits. They look pretty good!

I'm going to try posting the link again. lt's not working!



It's on his myspace page of photos. The link is not working because you have to be signed into myspace to view it?

Damn that sucks. You can see all the different FX bikes engines in teardown and the tech officials in the technical viewing area. I'll see what I can do to get the photos posted up here. Suggestions anyone?

Here try to click on his myspace page with this link. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=33478601
Then view his photos by clicking his default photo or the link to his photo albums. Then select AMA Technical Inspection album.

the default photo takes you to myspace login.

How 'bout you right click on the pic, save them to your PC and either post them up here (click REPLY, don't use the quick-reply box, click ADDITIONAL OPTIONS and attach the photos) or email them to me jeff@cbr600rr.com and I'll post them.

Here's my crank fresh from Falicon. It's almost to pretty to put in the engine.
