Hi Chris

Gaw, that took some finding!!

Here (on the right) is our first "crudely hand-carved" prototype for the '02 on which we used a bolt on flange. Obviously we didn't spend too much time on it, but it proved the priciples and from that the rubber and flange for the VF-2 (on the left) was developed.

This allowed you to fit to the '02 without having to remove the boss and web from the crankcase (which we weren't allowed to do at the time).

Now in the UK we are allowed to modify the casing, so if you want 50 or so of those rubbers you can have them very, very cheap Rolling Eyes

Best Regards

Ian Very Happy

Ian, you definitely know more than me, but everything everybody on this side of the pond has said hands down that a CR can't keep with a Gas-Gas.
The results here in the US reflect that.
Maybe you need to send some of your motors over here????

OK I'm an arse!!!

Hi Chris

OK. I enjoyed our little bit of fun and banter!!

I would have to modestly admit that I do produce the best CR250 kart motors in the world. Wink

I would also have to admit that the GasGas motor same as Andy's or JR's is more powerful and has a better spread of power and is smoother than any CR250 I have ever produced (so far).

But if you are racing CR's against CR's or GasGas against GasGas it dosen't matter a damn.

What matters is a balance between initial investment, reliability, servicing and repair cost and how that translates to grid size.

In the end it all boils down to the economics of the individuals both singley and as a group.

An engine dosen't make a winner. It's a combination of driver/chassis/engine/tyres/setup/weight and team.

That's why Andy and JR blow the twins running in the US with 15-20Hp more into the weeds.

I would love to bring an Anderson Viper CR250 to Miller in 2010 for Trevor. All it needs is for someone to buy it, pay up-front and take it away from Park Ferme. Otherwise perhaps Andy or JR would like to do a swap drive (we will have 2 Anderson Maverick Div 1/BRC's in 2010) and we'll see Trevor on an Anderson GasGas in the US.

Oh and that's a great driving record Chris, you must be very proud.

See Andy, I did it again Confused

Best Regards

Ian Very Happy

Hi Guys

Andy you see what I get for being "nice", complimentary and holding out the hand of friendship and understanding. From now on I'm for winding the handle Confused

Ian Harrison · Posted: Tue Nov 17, 2009 8:45 am Post subject:

Hi Sid

The one commodity we always run out of is time

I should have got on the dyno today, but it ain't going to happen!!

So, I'll be on with the BRC tomorrow testing the final spec that we will run in 2010 and then Thursday and Friday night it's Honda CR250 Reed Blocks. This is going to create an ongoing series regarding various aspects of CR250 development, both cylinder and crankcase induction.

Don't worry I'll keep you current

Best Regards

Ian Very Happy

Hi Ian, Not sure why my name keeps getting dragged into this Question

I do like the addition to you signature though. Laughing

Keep winding the handling. It makes reading this so much more interesting. Now all we need is Sam and Ted to chime in. Rolling Eyes
