I personally believe that if the factory teams would have grabbed a stock bike off the shelf they would have done better with 93 pump gas.
Race Gas(burns way hotter)
High compression, worked engines
Race maps
All this leads to heat and with clogged radiators, You boil the coolant, heat up the oil and the clutch dies.
I have an idea that acerbis or polisport could make. Basically instead of radiator louvers, just a solid piece of plastic that prevents any mud from getting into radiators. Then put two fans on each side. Pretty simple, but I think it could work.
I can't imagine how hard it was to get the bike around the track in that glue. I think as riders, although it looked painful, they did pretty damn good.
Feld, if you are listening, get some sand up there on standby please............
Any other ideas that people have?????

However, I can count numerous races over the years.
Its a chance for somebody to grab a win or a podium that otherwise would not. Look at your fast qualifier. That is gonna be his biggest achievement. The day I beat eli tomac and Jason Anderson and Chad Reed.
If you count outdoors and MXGP, there is alot of races like this.
I used to run 89 pump gas and 100LL aviation fuel in my airplane. The 89 would have a drastic effect on cylinder head temperature vs the 100LL. Not because of the octane, but because the 89 pump gas was less refined, oily and did not generate the same amount of power (plane ran better on the 100LL).
Why are they slipping the clutch out of every corner on these beast when they have electronic maps, etc? maybe just habit?
