Army of Darkness: A Drowning Pool & Pole Position, In The March Issue

Featured In the March 2024 issue of Roadracing World:

        “Roebling Road has been a tough track for us for years. The unique characteristics of the pavement, the weather, and the hydrogeology of the underlying terrain combine to cold-tear tires in the morning, but by the afternoon everything has changed, requiring different compounds or pressure or suspension or all three. 

        “In the past we were always having to walk a very fine line between choosing a tire that would allow us to push for a full hour-long stint versus an absolute lap time. Choose a tire that is too durable and we might be giving up a few 10ths each lap; choose a tire too fast and then we’re losing two seconds a lap for the last 15 minutes of the stint when the tire goes off…”

             “Army Of Darkness: A Drowning Pool & Pole Positions,” by Sam Fleming

 

            Roebling Road threw a new challenge at Army of Darkness: How to remove mud from every crevice of a racebike that had submerged so deeply in a “muddle” (mud puddle) that the team had to suspend the motorcycle upside-down to rinse off and out the muck… And that’s ignoring the fact that the rider nearly suffocated due to the mud packed into his helmet! Read the dirty details in the latest issue of Roadracing World!
