i go to la dunes all the time. its a blast to me. dont expect something like glamis or little sahara. all in all its a great place to go. we go and bring the pit and make the whole weekend out of it. you can go swimming in the lake. or if your up to it drag race. there are some trails and a few good jumpin spots. but the competition is feirce for drags. its 400ex heaven.it seems to be the majority of whats out there,but watch out when the shees come on sunday. 400's dont stand a chance in the drags when the banshees come out . hope this helps

Maybe ill just take the ole 505 out there and show them Banshee boys whos the boss!!:D Drag racing is my thing, im gonna make it a plan to go there!! Where is it located at????

[blusteel1]

im not trying to start anything,but ive seen modded 400's out the wazoo,and they are bad,but i cant even elaborate on some of the shees out there. my buddy has one of the fastest ones out there,and no 400 can hang.they do have some badboy 400's out there,so if you go ask around and see if a guy named DAK is out there. if he is,hes the 400 to beat.

They also had a 770 raptor out there too. He would be somebody to beat

[ChadEXer]

Did you all read about the Four Stroke Wars??? The Sparks 465EX and Raptor725 was beating all the Banshees out there! I know there are some crazy Banshees out there(there always is) but your everyday piped, jetted banshees dont really have a chance!! At any type of good drag race there is almost always a Banshee that will be there thats faster than you! Im building my dragger to beat 4 strokes, but beating some 2 strokes will be fun too:D
Everyones asks why i chose a 400EX to be my dragger,,,well with my TC 505 I always have a chance to be the fastest bike out there,,,with building a banshee,,,good luck!!!!!

Chad, when are you supposed to get your motor back? if you left it stock looking, you do realize that thing would be a sleeper.

[ChadEXer]

Im hoping to get it back within the next 2 weeks! Tom is at the nationals all this week. He told me 3 weeks ago that he has 10 motors ahead of me and he can do 3-4 per week. So Im hoping it will be next week but I dont know! I like the thought of having a sleeper but when you look at my bike and see that there isnt one stock piece on it(besides the header:D which is ceramic coated!!) you almost know that the motor has been dug into!! it will be hard to hide but if anybody asks,,its a 416:D

[Chef]

You should have left it stock looking chad,I've been thinking that. Like someone else on this board with a fast EX..:D

My EX is gonna be kind of a Sleeper, with a High Comp piston and Cam, ill tell them its stock ;)
