I gotcha... Here's a question. If it's track only, Why run an air filter? There's another 1-2 hp right there that can be had for free. Also, the bridgestone tire really isn't too shitty at the track at stock wheelbase. As light as she is, I would think that the heavy springs might actually do more harm than good unless you're just really worried about her eating clutch plates.My reasoning behind that is that I've got strong hands, and have found that it's still pretty tough to really slide the clutch with the heavy springs which is going to be even less forgiving at stock wheelbase. I know that you guys probably already know this, but you may have better luck with stock springs and 3 of the brocks spacers, or even no spacers at all. My dad got about 300 passes out of his stock clutches with no heavy springs or spacers and was going 1.4-1.5 stretched and 1.5-1.6 at stock wheelbase. When you get a chance, get us some pictures of her racing. I come from a family of drag racers and always thought that women racing big bikes was cool as shit. Hell, My mom used to rape everyone on a GS650 bracket racing back in the early 80's. I guess it's hard to catch someone who weighs 101 lbs, can ride, and you have to spot a full second.

Bawls,
The AMA SS Class requires an air filter. Also, In regards to the HD Clutch Springs, even though she is small she is very strong due to racing Motocross for 11 years. Hell, her current Motocross bike is a 2008 Yamaha YZ450F and she handles it better than most men so the HD Springs are not any issue.
We even added the spring spacers on top of them and the bike picked up a few tenths with the combination but we will remove the spacers as AMA does not allow for them in the SS Class.
Since you enjoy watching women racers... check out these videos and her website and let me know what you think.

I believe it's a Japanese company making them. I've heard it isn't Hindle anymore, and that makes sense. The ct pipe is in mm's and not inches.... Anybody know who's manufactering the pipe? Ti Force? Sato? Yosh? Tsukigi?

Last time I checked Hindle was made in canada and canada used the metric system. I'm fairly certain that brock still has all of his stuff made by hindle.

Then why are the standard brocks systems have piping that is in inches, while the ct is in mm's? I remember Shane making this observation. He can confirm, and I'll try to find the info about them being made in Japan.

The CT's are made in Japan, not by Hindle, and the tubing is metric.
The Hindle parts are not metric.
