Pit
lane. Not as glamorous as on the Formel 1 circuits but much
more relaxed and fun! On the strip. One of Racing Team Benie's bikes (number
7) leading the battle. Wild horses have to be tamed sometimes. The humble race driver recieves his price.
The winner takes it all...
Not nearly as humble.
Drag Racing with the GT50
Owner: Guido Samson,
Suriname
Comments: ”Here is Suriname we modify the bikes for 400 meter
drag racing. We reach times of 15 seconds flat on the track. The
Suzuki GT50 is the most popular bike for the race and the most
popular team is Racing Team Benie's.
Benie's have two bikes, the nr 6 and 7 (see the
pictures). The #6 is sponsored by Big John's Batties. Following
modifications have been made to the bike:
51mm bore
28 mm flatslide carb
Polini reeds
home build exhaust pipe
pvl ignition
16 inch alloy wheels
sprocket set 13/36
The cylinder is a tuned standard
cylinder but with a bore of 51mm. The cylinder head is freased
by ourselves. I will mail you the pics of the bikes so you can
put them on your site.
We also use RM125, KX, YZ ignitions, whatever we can build to
fit on the bike.”
