This high
performance racer has quite a pedigree.
The first incarnation was built by
Hugo Walters, its a kneeler type chassis with leading
link fork. The brakes are dual caliper Lockheed hydraulic
units. The engine was built by Udo Geitle, BMWs former
factory racing mechanic. The modified engine is from
a 1970 R75/5. The cylinder heads have splayed intake
ports and use huge 44mm delorto sidecar carburetors. The
machine passed NSCRA technical inspection in 2004. We
attempted to race the rig at the Jennings GP in March
of 2004. We were disqualified do to excessive noise.
Ok its loud but isn't that the point of going to a race
track? Any way we installed a set of supertrapp inserts
and it quieted it down quite a bit.
