Wow, I am impressed!
Of course, still too low rpm, but 21 positions gained… wow!
You don’t need that lighter crankshaft, just 32mm PWK, extend manifold a bit +higher rpm - that will be just perfect!
Looking forward to see you in a pro group! Huge respect!
I may have to try that PWK carb. Though I will miss my pumper carb and it’s low-end hit.
I was wondering the same thing... Listening to his bike, I thought maybe I have been frying my engine screaming in higher RPMs.
I'm an old man now (76) with only memories. Rode those hills your racing on in the 60s before anyone ever thought about a race track.
Most of the San Diego hills I used to ride in as a kid in the 70’s and kicked out by cops because of “environmental damage” is now covered by housing and industrial buildings.
When money's to be made they forget all about environmental damage. Cops tried to bother us but couldent catch us😁
Nice ride! Can't believe they had you guys doing so many laps. You definitely put up a good fight, though. Thankfully those 230s are more fun than fast. I've had a couple of them. Thanks for posting that up. Cool to see someone my age still out there racing.
Hey, thanks!
Nice ride bro! Again awesome skills! Rock on brother!
Great video!! Watched it on the big screen at the shop!
Hang on “ why did you bring knife to a gun fight “ ….man you had a sword ! And slayed them …Well done on 20th out of 41 from last . It’s not the bike , it’s the rider .
Awesome Racing guys I’m in that group now
Caught this in another forum. Had to find your UA-cam and give it a like.
What forum was that?
Outstanding!
Man that was fun to watch. You kicked butt, cleared half the field! Pretty impressive. 20 min moto at that pace is no joke. Well done, thanks for the ride! 👍✌
Thanks!
Good job to you and yer knife, old guys kick ass brother
Thanks! Better finish in my next moto.
I really respect what you've accomplished. Keep on keeping on
Thank you, I will
Good job man you did good
Great ride, dude! Easier to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow! Great ride! And great bar pad message!
Now if the bar pad could only change the message every lap…hmmm
Awesome!! What's your trick for alleviating arm pump? Mine usually goes away after the first 20 minutes of trail riding...that's an entire moto. (I see your BREATHE reminder, that certainly helps.)
I finally figured out how to pre-warm up, stay on the balls of my feet, squeeze with ankles, bend at the hips instead of the knees, relax my grip, and chew gum at the same time.
Like a boss... U did well....
Old boss.
Good job man.
Thanks!
AWESOME TOM!!
Thanks for all your help! I’ll post a better finish in the next video.
@@lowbuckgarage1 I think you passed more than the whole field collectively!
Your a beast 💪👏
Old beast.
@@lowbuckgarage1 And to be ripping a 230 at that makes it even more fun to watch you

Last time we chatted you were working on a big bore upgrade. Did you get that done and if so what do you think? i think i was Franks (enginesonly) last engine job he was doing. My bike is back together now but i need to work on the carb to get it dialed just right.
I used the Wiseco 67.5mm (237cc) with a larger Web cam, and 1.5mm larger stainless intake valve, thin head gasket, with some mild porting. I did it all at once so…I can’t really say which one thing did the most. Didn’t have much ride time on the new motor, was still having issues with 30mm pumper carb, needs more tuning.
Video coming on that project.
@@lowbuckgarage1 thats awesome! love to hear more when you have that all figured out. i ended up going with franks big bore and had to machine the case. I also put a 232 cam in it. for the carb i had the pkw pumper before but ended up changing to a 32mm nibbs flat slide carb on it. I ported the head (not much there you can do without cutting through) and opened the intake side for the larger carb. i'm still trying to adjust the carb, but I ended up getting a wideband O2 to set the carb right. not sure on the improvment...however i do have my dads stock 230 which i'll race soon to see the diff.
@@keepsyouincontrol I’m interested in getting a wideband O2 sensor for tuning too. Which one did you get?
@@lowbuckgarage1 (30-4110) UEGO Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge with 4.9 LSU Sensor, Wideband O2 Control Sensor kit | 0-5V Analog Output (10-20 AFR Range) - Digital AFR Controller Gauge
if you can wait a bit...i can send you a header with the bung already welded on it too. i'm not sure when i will get to finishing it though...might be mid jan.
iasthere an engine cc limit in these vet races?
No cc limit.
Oh please please please …when your coming last again toot your horn to rub it in a little as you pass each rider 😃😂
Will do. 👍
