This vid would have helped me in my 80's racing days. Especially with mental attitude. I was a different (and slower) guy on race day. I could beat or keep up with my buddies on our practice tracks, but had a real hard time riding to my actual level on race day. But I am happy to say I did win a couple races,---with no confidence. lol
I wanted to leave a comment on your CNC porting shot vid from last year. I have a lot of machining and formal education. Get your cutting tools as short as you can, and your cutting dimensions/finish will be more accurate/smoother, make less noise and vibration and you might even be able to pick up the feed rate a bit. I may be the first guy to port 2-stroke cylinders with a CNC machine for a production basis, but I know of a couple other guys who were working on it at the same time. The reason is, I do it for little gas 30cc rd car engines, and get 36 cylinders in a case. Dirt bikes never saw that kind of production, so they were done by hand. I have done about 2000 of them before I got the little CNC machine in 2007, and it took me 2 hours to port them by hand, and 2 hours to set up the CNC mill. :) (EX, intake and transfers,--still need to be finished by hand). Would love to develop a process for the hand work on a second machine. Then---I could do something else. :) Shorten those tools, and your process will improve markedly.
Thanks for this. I have so much respect for both Paul personally and Racetech as a company. As much as he's achieved he's always seemed a humble and funny guy. The Racetech suspension bible is technically superb..but it cracks me up in parts. :)

Good stuff Paul. I just saw this after all these years and it’s still valuable and I’ll bet overlooked..
I can't believe i have never seen this. Thankyou sir this video will become a weekly watch for me and my son!
I watched this almost every day after school for a long while. Still talk about it to this day.
Too the MOON! THANKS PAUL!
3:55 Good saying. I have another similar.

Thank you so much for saving and providing the log book!

He forgot to tell you that in competition first place is the first loser (in life).
Really? Do you have any examples?
@@EarthSurferUSA Cemeteries all over the world have lots of examples.
