I hope some of you find this thread usefull as it has cost me a but load of money to provide this information with first hand experiance. also if this sounds a bit advertisy, sorry, but I do have to promote my shop White Knuckle Motorports at some point.
I put almost 2000kms on a superlight chassey this year, carbon fiber proclimb and around 500kms on cutler turbo proclimb 800 stage 2 and a couple 100 kms on a m1100 turbo with hijacker and clutching. I have tried to be as impartial to each sled as I can. Here are the findings, for those who are on the fence as too what to build, purchase, or aquire.

I have ridden 2 stroke turbos for the last 7 years and think i have turned a corner. I know believe that a light well thought out chassey will outperform anything out there on a day to day basis, taking into account, riding energy, wrenching, durability, reliability and general ability to continue to put a smile on your face. it does not have power like the 4 stroke or turbo 2, but does not need it. you are never tired of riding it, never sore the next day. you can just throw it in the trailer and know its going to run the next day. you can abuse it on the hill and hardly ever wreck it. theres nothing to tune. it literally will make you a better rider. We can and will build you any sled you want but i would put stock in this chassey dollar for dollar. if your ever on the fence give us a call at white knuckle motorsports and i will drag this thing out for you to try and you can decide yourself. i could go on and on as too why the pros and cons far out weigh the pros and cons of the first options, but i don't think i need too.
