How do you know? I can't open it up from a stop it'll flip lol. Anyone can make a mistake and lose a race!!! If it's just for fun like you say then who cares if you lose, we'll both be able to see the difference between the two. I wish I had my old 636. I'm down to try the boss from a stop, of course if it ever decides to stop raining and maybe get above 50 degrees

No, not my point at all. If a car blows a head gasket and has to replace the entire head with a stock replacement part, there is no modification. Unless you consider the number stamp on the head to be a modification. In that case, changing the stock oil and oil filter are as much a modification as repairing something that broke. Exact same head, exact same function. HIO, however, doesn't have a stock part anywhere on that car! Maybe the driveshaft! Other than that, there is a list a mile long of what didn't come on the car and a list 2 to 3 inches long of what did.

Unless someone can name me some significant mechanical parts on HIO's car that are still stock? I can't think of much that he hasn't modified.

That's just the difference between a good setup and a bad setup. You're just looking for an easy kill.

If I did that, I'd just say it's just a stock cube with boltons..it's your fault for not asking more questions and doing some looking. Actually, I'd probably only do that if I didn't like the guy who wanted to race, or wanted to make some money.

nope... read up earlier in one of my posts. Not looking for a low trapping or high trapping car. Something in the 120 range is what im looking for. Im more interested in a drivers race. Then puppy kicking on either side. If i wanted to get an easy win... id run a local bolt on car. Not interested in that.

Haha, fine by me with the mods. You know I've got nothing to prove and don't care about winning or losing. I just like fun runs and I'll be meeting Beans at some point anyways to run the 750 for ***** and giggles. And I know your past experience with running 600's, so it's always good to see what they're truly capable of regardless of the results, the same way I wouldn't want to run a BOSS (or any car or bike) with a shitty driver unless they're were **** talking and being a tool.

Sounds like Beans is on his way to becoming your local "go to" rider, and it'll be nice to a have a well-ridden 750 for the faster cars to mess with once he's got some seat time and can make the most of the bike.

Anyways, back on topic...
