I raced quite a few bikes this weekend, even rode a “piped” DS 650 (his exhaust blew apart only the can was left, no cap). Raced a couple of Raptors, banshees, and even a 440ex.

The dream bike I speak of is mine. The Raptor only won by 1 bike length (average after maybe 20 races, hill and flat). The DS was neck and neck (he won some I won some). The 440ex had 4-5 bikes on me (440, mild porting, WB race cam, powerbong, fcr, etc). I was even hanging with the Banshees, till the middle of third. I didn’t see the 440 race any banshee’s, but I’m sure he’d be with the mild ones. If I could get past the third gear wall. I just don’t seam to pull to the rev limiter in third, grab fourth and it’s a very slow pull. Loosin isnt so bad when you can turn around, say I had them till top of third, and wheelie the whole strip back. Maybe the key is Terry’s black box and Nitrous.

Good weekend though.

We took BradB from Bluetraxx, he’s 12. He jumped on the Banshee and whupped a lot of Guys on bilt shee’s, even a 400 shee. That was funny.

Don’t dog the 400. I payed 3500, put a couple hun more in her and hung pretty well. Oh yeah and NO ONE had bigger air. These Bikes Rock!

I figured out the secret to your sucess!!
It must be that Orting air your bike sits in.LOL!!
Glad to hear your trip was good, i spent my whole weekend at work after everything started.
I chatted with WarriorQueen from Bluetrax for a while the other night and had mentioned to her about your trip.
So late last night, well actually around 4, we
went out to Fort Lewis and rode. I usually ride with these 2 guys who have Rapors. Usually on the straight stretch, they pull by me, but on the trails and on the windy roads they usually dont fair to well.
One guy always wants to trade bike when we ride. He likes how mine feels, jumps, handles and everything about it. Wheeling these things are so much easier as well.
Just my 2 cents,
Take care

Yeah we actually met up with Crash, we showed up at 4 and they were packing up. It's too bad they didn't stay. All the good stuff happens after the sun goes down. I was rippin wheelies arround the lip of the bowl, and some killer One-Handed Beer Wheelies were seen.:huh :devil :macho

The wind blows sand off the lip. Imagine dumping sand out of a loader. It's that steap or less.

I believe all the 4 strokes were starting in first. I only get into 4th in most all drag races, on sand.
