  • I was eyeballing one of these at the moto shop today.



    Absolutely fascinating.

    • There's no dirt or jump section on that video, cut slicks in the dirt is interesting Unfortunately I'm not very good it, LOL.
      That Husaberg rocks. How big is it?
      I swapped out the suspension, wheels, and tires on my 540 KTM Supermoto bike to a woods setup. Ride on the Ice with it to.
      I'll try to imbed a vid here...

      • I've always wanted to try that. I just can't help thinking how much it would suck not to be first.

          This is a new device developed by DSR and Tommy Johnson Jr. to measure the undulations in the track. it is the length of a TF dragster and the center wheel moves up and down to record any hi or low spots in relation to the front and rear tires

          • Have them take it to Columbus, it will look like a gravel road.

              They had all 3 4 strokes. 390 450 570 That is the first time I have seen their engines. Crazy looking but man their craftsmanship is stellar.

                It frightens me that such a device is required. Some of our test tracks are so flat they have literally removed the earth's curvature! They are PERFECTLY flat. So - it's within an excavator and asphalt paving contractors skill set to make a track that flat.... but I'm sure it takes money and isn't in the budget for most tracks that are struggling to stay open as is.

                • They may very well have been super flat when constructed, but overly dry or overly wet conditions can jack that up in no time flat.

                  Engineering companies have used a similar rig to measure the smoothness of highway surfaces for years because it factors into the construction companies performance based pay scale.

                  • yea - water is very usefull - but horribly destructive.

                    I'm guessing that thing's pretty darned accurate and precise if it is used to determine a companies pay check for a job!

                      • A few art-sie fart-sie shots I took today at the local Applefest. The bottom one is through a jar of honey aiming at the sun.

                            John, as the concrete tracks are paved in "pads" they all have a different fingerprint. As BBR mentioned, there will be some settling and stuff. Top Fuel Dragsters are so sensitive to junk like that, I bet they are using this thing to "map" the track. If they know that at 600 feet there is a tiny dip or rise, they may tune their clutch differently. There was an IHRA track a few years back that had a lane with one pad of concrete settled a tiny bit lower. It took the teams most of the weekend to figure out why no one could really get off that lane clean, but the first guy to soften the car on the hit and let it eat after 60' had the field covered. With that device they would have known about it before they even ran!

                              • this pic was taken shortly before the fateful end of a certain BBC under the hood of the cadi I was riding in, 15 miles is as far as we got

                                btw we hit a dip in the road riding too low and put a hole in the oilpan and theres no oil pressure gauge or idiot light
