i am 5'7 125 pounds and want to know what are best high or low handlebars for racing my yz 125 i have never raced before but going to start soon

Everyone has different preferrence to how they want their bars set up and what sort. You need to ride a few bikes with different bars to see just what you like best and ask at a dealership for what they think might suit. My son likes the low fat bars but that doesnt mean you would

How do I break in a high performance race engine?


I would like to break in a chevy 454. Is there any way to do this on the street, as opposed to a dyno? What are the exact steps I need to follow, such as engine run time, how high to let engine rpm's get, and oil changes?

Unless you live in Nevada,Utah, parts of Arizona,New Mexico or Texas where you can run it flat out for miles under load on the highway without getting pulled over by a trooper or a race track that you have plenty of time to heat cycle the engine, the Dyno is your best bet, Red Line makes a good racing break in oil additive that is used with a basic non detergent motor oil, generally I bring my engines to high operating temp twice, about 20 to 30 minutes, then change the oil to what I normally use in that engine, usually Castrol GTX 10w 30, first heat cycle run it hard, second heat cycle run it like you stole it, change oil, now you have a broke in race engine,

  • I'm your roomate! How come you're siding with him!?! F'rude. PS: NASCAR has 49,800,000 hits on google…what does that say about you're “working class” demographic? That yes, they DO use the internet, to catch the racing highlights and view nasty web-sites, if for nothing else.

  • In general, NO. Of course, there are exceptions – trainers, owners, jockeys who care more about making money than treating their animals with the respect, love and dignity they deserve.,

    However, having followed the sport closely for a while, I think the majority of people involved in the horse racing industry really care about horses. Horses, in general, like to run. No jockey can force a horse to run (unless he had some cruel instrument like an electrical shocker), But, at least in North America, such cruelty is not permitted. Yes, jockeys carry whips. I don't know if you ride, but I used to refuse to hit my mounts with a whip. One day our instructor asked us to hit ourselfs as hard as possible with our crops. It did NOT hurt at all. It is simply a signal to the horse to wake up and pay attention and run to the extent he is capable of doing so. In fact, in New York, the jockeys have organized a movement to use whips which are even kinder to the horses. People who ride for pleasure (or even competitively) carry whips or crops. However, unlike jockeys, non-race riders keep their stirrups much longer. So, they have three aids (to let the horse know what to do): their seat, their legs and the reins. Jockeys don't have much of their legs or seat to use so a crop is a necessary aid. And, hitting a horse who does not want to run will not make him run. The smartest "lazy" horses I have ridden have learned that if they simply stop when the rider hits them with a crop, the crop becomes useless.

    Race horses are extremely valuable and receive better food, medical care and attention than most people do. You also have to remember that horses are herd animals and can be quite competitive. If one horse runs, the one's behind him generally will follow (even if their rider is trying to hold them back). Even in the non-racing world, if you are out on a trail ride and towards the back, many horses try to get ahead of the horses in front of them (they are competitive).

    Rachel Alexandra is a great example of how competitve horses can be. I read that even after she won a race against older males, during the gallop out (after the finish line when the jockeys slow the horses down and let them cool off), she refused to let another horse (Macho Again) pass her.

    Cruelty is not acceptable in the racing world. Jeremy Rose (a jockey) received a 6-month suspension for hitting a filly in the eye with a whip. I, along with the owners of the filly (who was not injured), have no doubt that this was accidental. However, he still received the punishment.

    In closing, I just watched Barbaro: A Nation's Horse. This program aired 3 years ago and I recorded it but never watched it for fear that it would make me too depressed. I am confident that if you watched that program, you would understand how special and loved Barbaro was by his owners (the Jacksons), his trainer (Michael Matz), his jockey (Edgar Prado), his exercise rider (Peter Brette) and his doctor (Dr. Dean Richardson). They all had tears in their eyes when they spoke about Barbaro. And, the Jacksons (knowing that Barbaro would never race again) spent huge sums of money trying to save him so that he could have a good quality of life. They did this because they loved him, not because they thought they could make money off of him.
