Motocross Action magazine tests the Moto Tassinari VForce3 Reed Valve System for the Yamaha YZ250 in July 2010 issue

The VForce3 Reed Valve System for the Yamaha YZ250 is featured in the July 2010 of Motocross Action. The product test can be downloaded here, or you can read it below.

WHAT STANDS OUT? Here’s a list of things that stand out with the Moto Tassinari YZ250 VForce3.

(1) Features. The Moto Tassinari VForce3 has twice as many reeds as a stock reed valve. It looks like two reed valves in one cage. The benefit of doubling the number of reeds is that each individual reed only has to open half as far to get the same amount of fuel to flow. Given the fact that reed petals open and close 133 times per second, the less they move the longer they last. Additionally, the VForce3 reed cage is a modular design that allows each piece to be crafted to do a single job. This is most noticeable at the front of the block where the reed petal tips are recessed into the cage.

A refreshing look at Snowmobile Ice Drag racing through the lens of Chris Milliman

Back in late February Chris Milliman decided to go photograph an Ice Drag at Lake Morey, VT. Here's what he came back with.

If you're interested in seeing the "other side" of snowmobile ice drag racing, than you may appreciate the work Chris Milliman shot at the recent Goldenchild Nationals Shootout. As you'll soon discover this isn't your typical race coverage of an event. Instead it takes on a much more personal tone, and as such, the weekend racer can really relate.

Milliman’s statement about the work -

Four-Stroke and Two is a study in the nature of parallel worlds. You can find these scenes all over, the participants all in. Right here, custom built super-charged snowmobiles rocketing to 145 mph in under 5 seconds. Preceded by hours and hours in the garage, bloody knuckles, frost bite, and ear plugs. But it could be anything and it’s running along next to us, so take a different line and here’s what you see.

You can see more images from the event here.
