ATV XC1 Champion Borich got off to a mid-pack start, but moved into contention for the lead at the halfway mark of the race. On the final lap, Borich found himself in third place but soon passed for second. With less than a half mile to go in the race, Borich put the power down on his Falicon Supercrank™ equipped LTR450 and made a daring pass, jumping one of Unadilla’s huge motocross jumps to take the lead. At the finish, Borich took the checkers with just about two seconds to spare over second place. This marks Borich’s fifth win of the season.

 

Falicon sponsored Dustin Wimmer came out 1-1! In Pro-Moto one, Dustin finished second to Josh Creamer with the two leaving the rest of the Pro lass behind with over a 10 second lead. In the first Pro-Am moto, things heated up with Josh and Dustin within a second of each other for most of the moto. Dustin had to settle for second place.

In Pro-Class Moto 2, the track was the roughest anybody had seen. Josh took the hole shot and Dustin followed with a bumper to bumper battle. Just after the half way point, Dustin grabbed the lead and pulled a solid four second lead to take the win. Moto 2 of the Pro-Am was a repeat, with Dustin taking charge past the half way to pull a four second lead to the checker.

After finishing round 7, Dustin is still in the points lead in both Pro and Pro-Am classes.

On October 24, 2010, Falicon sponsored "Wild" Bill Warner set a new world record of 278.6 mph at the Texas Mile! Bill went
255.1 mph on Friday October 22nd, 270.7 mph on Saturday, and then finally 278.6 mph on Sunday. Bill was only able to run once or twice a day due to the fierce crosswinds that ranged from 10-25 mph. Way to go Bill!

Continuing our passion for racing, Falicon partnered with Lacey Power Sport, Inc., who chose to build their own full out drag ski to compete for the "World Speed Record. ” As an established business out of NJ since 2000, they provide a full in-house machine shop that specializes in motor rebuilds, cylinder modifications, high performance installs, and related machine work.

LPS took their turbo knowledge from street racing and applied it to a Sea Doo 4-tec engine producing well over 500hp without any power adders to enhance it. LPS used Falicon’s Supercrank™ modification services to lighten and balance the crank specifically intended for this high RPM’s and high horsepower engine. Currently the jet ski will run 105mph with only 26 pounds of boost and soon will be running 35 pounds of boost. These builds are exclusively available through Lacey Power Sport, Inc. For more information call Chris Caputo @ 609.693.8485 or click here to visit their site.

Are you looking for that perfectly custom built racing engine for your Rotax DS 650? If so, you're in the right place. Oldham Machine Works partnered with Falicon to produce the most powerful and reliable stroker/ big more motor on the market. Strong, lightweight and capable of making huge power, the DS 650 makes a great dune/trail engine or all out drag race/hill shooter with this set-up.

Falicon developed a +5mm (**770cc), +8mm (**800cc), and a +10mm (**815cc) stroker crank specifically for OMW. A complete package kit is offered through OMW that includes: necessary case modifications, head porting with upgraded components, stroker crank, three different race cams to choose from, and big bore cylinder/ piston kit. We wanted to know how big we could go, and after much development and testing, a 100mm stroker was designed. That's a +17mm stroker! Combined with a 108mm bore, this DS 650 produces 916cc's! Yes, 916cc's! Below are two dyno charts. One shows peak horsepower and the other shows peak torque. ** Displacement calculated with 105.5mm bore.

In developing the largest stroker crank for the Can-AM DS 450 quad, Falicon partnered with Eric Oldham at Oldham Machine Works. We pushed the envelope by stroking the oem crankshaft +8mm (68.8mm overall stroke), balanced to a 14:1 high compression stroker piston. This creates a whopping 508.4cc's with a stock bore set-up; up your displacement to 529.6cc's with a 99mm bore!

This set-up is exclusively offered through OMW. Kit package includes: Bee-Hive spring kit, billet intake race cam, head porting, Falicon stroker crank with Knife® Rod (customer must supply crank core), 14:1 stroker piston, including a power commander map for this combo.
