Racing Conditioning Guide - Fitness For The Weekend Warrior

A guide to better physical conditioning for weekend racers

Anyone who has ever set foot in a racecar understands how physically demanding the cars can be during competition. We have all heard stories of Cup drivers losing up to 5 to 10 pounds a race because of the extreme conditions. One would have to be very nave to think that being in better physical condition would not benefit the local short track racer.

UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals - The Hell Tour

UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals - The Hell Tour

The UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals feature 26 Dirt Late Model races in 31 days

Imagine a world where short track racing never ends. Seven days a week you can travel to a given track and see some great racing. I can hear the series promoters, track owners, and even some drivers grumble. This just can't happen, right? It is way too exhausting to expect a series, track, or driver to race every day of the week.

Akrapovic Ninja 250R Slip-On Exhaust

Akrapovic applied their world-championship winning knowledge to developing a slip-on exhaust for the latest-generation Kawasaki Ninja 250R. The slip-on exhaust is comprised of an outer sleeve and end cap made from carbon fiber in-house at Akrapovics factory. Inside, all metal components are fabricated using titanium for excellent strength, vibration resistance and light weight. In fact, this Ninja 250R exhaust is over 7lbs lighter than the stock configuration and includes a removable noise reduction insert to keep the neighbors happy. Besides the light weight, this exhaust moves the powerband to the left on an untuned motor, so the power arrives quicker and, most noticeably - fills in the hole in torque around 6000RPM. This last point will be the most noticeable aspect of the exhaust which can be further enhanced with a proper engine tune.

For more information, call Mike at 866.931.6644 x 804 or send an email to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM with AKRAPOVIC NINJA 250R EXHUAST in the subject line and well get back to you right away.

The complete kit comes with clear instructions, a carbon fiber exhaust hanger bracket and all required installation hardware.

Akrapovic employs an excellent staff of welders. This interface between the inlet of the muffler and the titanium midpipe visibly demonstrates their skill in handling this difficult-to-weld material.

The business end of the exhaust includes an easy-to-remove sound baffle (shown here installed).

This Akrapovic exhaust will fit any 2008-2011 Kawasaki Ninja 250R.

Crate Late Model Setup - Crates On Dirt

Crate Late Model Setup - Crates On Dirt

The key to winning with a crate engine is setup, setup, a little smart prep and, oh yeah, setup

They look the same, they share the same chassis, the racing is just as exciting, and they even (sort of) sound the same. But there is a world of difference between Super Dirt Late Models and the Crate Late Model class.

2011 Estoril MotoGP Friday Roundup: Of Insults, Shoulders, And Thunderstorms

"It's like kindergarten." That was how one journalist described the spate of complaints, insults and snide comments that filled the rider debriefs after the first day of free practice at Estoril. Casey Stoner accused Valentino Rossi of following him, then went on to talk again about Rossi's mistake at Jerez; Rossi launched a diatribe against Stoner, accusing him of saying a lot of things which were untrue about his move to Ducati; and then Jorge Lorenzo joined in the fun by attacking Marco Simoncelli, complaining that the Italian was a liability and a danger to others.

Apparently there were some bikes on track too, but in the interests of getting the fluff out of the way first, we'll walk through another day of WWE-style trash talk and petty bickering.

Race Team Sponsorships - The Money Game

Race Team Sponsorships - The Money Game

A guide to finding sponsorships to support your racing team

What is the link between racers, fans, and businesses potentially involved with sponsorship in racing? That is the link that racers need to determine when looking to secure funds from any business. It may be an obvious user-defined link such as a racing vendor supporting a car or a home improvement center sponsoring a NASCAR team. The sponsor is looking to get its name in front of a specific set of customers and associate the company name with racing. It is an act of associating multiple passions with a need and a name.

In the press release, Suzuki reveal that Bautista is to undergo medical checks on Tuesday to test whether he will be fit to race in Portugal, and the factory also unveils that Suzuki, too, is making a marketing push into Southeast Asia, as the bike will be wearing the brand's "Change and Challenge" logo, which they are using in the region. Further evidence of the importance of the region to the Japanese manufacturers.
