5/16/2024 8:11am Teams are becoming a bit unwelcoming to the photographers we have at the races due to the bits in Pit Bits. I personally don’t mind being thrown to the wolves but I’m not at every round. Working on a solution for this…

4/25/2024 8:20am Quit being a pussy lol We should all be able to see who raced so we can celebrate the soft emotions of the top 3. Nice work guys.

4/25/2024 8:19am Sadly, we're a dying breed. A bullshit accolade and something to post on the internet to show you're "a winner", however hollow the victory, is what it's all about. I'm 38 and feel like the absolute stereotype of a grumpy old man just typing that, but I stand by it 😂

4/16/2024 10:13am I pulled a 6x12 single axle for a couple years, in 2018 bought a new 7'x14' double axle with brakes. Definitely tows better, more room and having brakes is nice, we do lot's of trips over the Cascade mountains here in WA. I can fit 4 bikes plus all the gear we need, tables, pop up etc, with no problem. Built shelves in the front for all the gear and tools, added a battery and an invertor, roof vent with a powered fan and diesel heater. I've camped in it for 3 days a few times, not as nice as...

4/16/2024 8:29am Agreed. Intend on having it for a long time and getting things right. I think 7x14 is the way to go for us. The original question was more around if the little bit of extra room is that helpful at the track, and if tandems really do tow that much smoother and easier than singles. All I've ever towed are...

4/16/2024 8:22am Hard to say without knowing you financial situation. Its easy to say something is worth it when you dont have the same trade offs that others do. 6×12 is certainly doable. Youll still have the same amount of fun and the fuel mileage will be better. It will be a nice simple package without hassles. That being said, I've always felt that 7x14 is the perfect size. Especially if your racing and at the track all day/weekend. Comfort level will be higher and you can do a lot to it over time. You will get your money's worth if thats...

4/16/2024 6:33am I've kinda read the same things. I want to go with aluminum since we live in the upper Midwest - it's gonna see a lot of salt from December through March. We raced out of a 12' tandem axle featherlight when I was a kid. I can't believe how expensive those have gotten!

4/16/2024 6:29am I bought a new one a few years ago and did a ton of research on them. I also wanted an aluminum. I ended buying a Legend brand but their Thunder line. It was more basic than their high end but I could add anything I wanted. I am sure prices have gone up but I got a 7x16 +v nose. With AC and heat, outlets insulation, etc for I believe it was $8200 out the door. It has been awesome but I did got to Michigan and pick it up.

4/15/2024 4:41pm 14' tandem for $10K. I suggest you shop around, I good drive can save you thousands. Down here in the Southeast you can get a new for $7k or less. I do recommend a 7ft inside height. Here are examples https://mericacargotrailers.com/product/enclosed-cargo-trailer-7x14-tan… https://www.usacargotrailersales.com/popular-trailers/7-wide/ There are a lot of people who pull travel trailers out of Indiana that would probably cut you a deal on getting one pulled back up to help cover the empty miles back home.

4/15/2024 4:40pm Good call on camping part. We are not planning on sleeping in it, although that extra foot would be nice if we decide to throw some cots down when the weather is mild. Pulling with a half ton that just got paid off. Not a snowflakes chance in hell for me to buy another truck right now

4/15/2024 4:35pm 7x14 is very nice. I'd first ask what will you be pulling it with? Do you plan to sleep in it sometimes? Tandem is very nice knowing that 1-flat is not quite as immediately catastrophic. One thing to consider, most of the reduced mpg's of a trailer comes from the aero drag, not the weight (assuming you are towing with a half-ton and not a lot of hills) and the difference between a 6x and a 7x is essentially nothing. Once you put a big box behind you, it is a parachute pull either way. Basic difference between a 6x...

4/15/2024 4:09pm Yes, Yes, YES! Especially if you are going to add cabinets and a water tank and toilet and bed and reefer and pressure washer and a $10,000 Snap On roller complete with hydraulic press in case you have to split the cases to do main bearings at the track. Sort of kidding. I bought a 6 x 12 and put 2 bikes in it and immediately realized I should have got the 7 x 14. 3 bike is a real squeeze. There is no walk around room in it. I don't carry a ton of extra shit in it. A...

4/15/2024 3:46pm Finally deciding to pull the trigger on an enclosed trailer after a decade of dealing with two bikes in/out of the truck every day. We're pretty set on size (12 or 14') and door configuration due to our driveway and storage. Here's the predicament - my ideal setup is 7x14, aluminum, tandem axle, single piece roof. Hard to find that...

4/13/2024 8:26pm I did point out there is little human data and that those existing data do not show benefit. Yes, the industry would absolutely fund an efficacious agent to bring to market. Your argument actually supports this claim, as they’re willing to fund medications that don’t work that well, but do provide a demonstrable effect. Btw, SSRI’s do have a modest effect in a number of indications. This thread is pretty wild though. I didn’t know vital had so many doctors and clinical researchers, in addition the voluntary lab rats who will ingest or inject themselves with unknown substances. 😂

4/13/2024 8:25pm It’s funny that people think “it worked” with no comparison group, verification of the agent used, testing of blood levels of the agent, and so on. It is far more likely that the positive expectations and regression to the mean led to the outcome, as this is well documented in similar treatments. Since you’re so absolutely sure, I would recommend a job in pharma working in the PR department. You can tell people that something works despite the evidence to the contrary. When people ask for proof, just say it worked for me! It’s like saying the suspension change your...

4/13/2024 8:24pm The “it worked for me” gambit, also known as the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy is well described in alternative medicine. Whether or not something reliably works has to be proven through studies on many individuals, in addition to establishing safety data, proper dosing, and so on. Many patients have a positive belief in these agents and similar ones, but that doesn’t mean they’re safe or that they work. Last time you posted about these unproven agents, I provided evidence showing your claims were not based in reality- that on average, neither bpc or tb improve outcomes reliably. I...

4/13/2024 8:22pm They don’t work even in clinical trials. Regression to the mean is the norm here. Telling people to take unregulated and potentially risky things without good evidence is ill advised. if they worked so well, they’d be getting funded for additional trials to be brought to market. They didn’t and they aren’t, but people on the internet will believe (and buy) anything.
