Many thanks for the inputs friends. I have to say since the moment I decided to mod the street TLS to a Race bike I never regret on my decision.... This bike is soooo funny, maybe not the faster one, but on a race with another 40 teams with Gixxer 1000, R1's, KTM RC8...etc... The most admired was the 11 years old TLS ja,ja,ja, that's true.
Probably some of you recognice parts installed on the bike, as a example the M4 cans came from OldTLSDoug, the TLR swingarm came from Posh Jonny ... the Quickshifter from Sam .... the OZ wheels from Tlstreak
About the tires they're actually a track tires, we use Dunlop 209 GP Racer in Endurance compound. We tried to set up the bike with the 209 GP slick profile but we could'nt get a good suspension balance for those tires. The threated one has the same rubber but a profile a bit less critical. By far those are the best tires I ever rode on the track.
Thanks again mates :-) |

Only because you ride it hard! Keep annoying them, maybe they'll make mistakes in your favor!

The philosophy of those Races are quite simple. Are races for amateur pilots, no profesional allowed or people to participate and got point in official championship in the alst 3 years.
The maximum nunber of teams are 50 . We race all together, but there are 7 catagories, acording the bike type and the average age of the pilot. The bike peparation is allmost free, marshall just pay special attention on safety issues, but basically you can do on the bike whatever you want as soon a the bike looks more or less similar to the street bike.
Every team should have at least two pilot with a maximum of three. And the races are Resistance type with 90 minutes long. This time is because more time means we'll need a tire change during the race and this will increase the cost to participate (need a fast tire change system). the maximum tme per pilot on the track is 25 minutes so during the race you should do at least 4-5 pilot change and two gas refuel. Depending on the track during the 90 minutes you can run between 40 and 50 laps.
We also have two trainning season of 50 minutes one for free practice and another chrono for the stating gid..
We're looking forward fo the next one on Jerez track, the same place of the Spanish MotoGP race .... this track is awesome |
