So, the bike should have been running Prostreet, or at the least 4WD Turbo.


So you want the bike to have a roll cage fitted ? maybe if it was a turbo bike they would've run it in a turbo class :wink:

Get over it dude, your mate was in the final or is he pissed because some prize money is up for grabs?


I mean because that bike is capable of faster than a 10.99, it should mean it is not allowed to run in a street class, same as a car can't.

He is very pissed. Do you now how much work is involved in getting an N/A car to go down the 1/4 quickly? Then a bike which can do 10s stock turns up and wastes everyone.

He's gunning for the title, so wants max points, incase problems arise later in the series.

That's pretty weird alright. EVOs are generally pretty bullet proof on the strip.

Yes I do know how much work is required to make a car (NA especially) go fast. Part of the reason why I have a bike... better fuel economy than my standard daily drive and faster than most things on the street, for 1/10th the cost.

Fair enough about the points, whinging on here aint going to do a lot but its probably worth approaching the organisers.
