Im heading back to St Anthonys this coming Memorial week(the weekend I will be at Florence) but last time I there I hated the power robbing altitude,I could still make to up Choke Cherry but thats not the point,just was wonding what setups you guys(and gals)run on your quads especialy the 400 or 440exs.Also if anybody knows if theres a place even if its an hour away to buy Methonal,I'd like to swich mine back to Meth but I dont want to bring down a 50 gal. drum.

Thanks,Tom

Unfortunately I don't know where to get Alcohol around St. Anthony... I'm sure somebody local to there would know. Sorry I can't help.

BTW, I'll probably be making a trip out for July 4th - From Thursday to Sunday of that week.

Maybe a trip earlier in the year too.

Yeah the Best Western in St. Anthony doesn't have a pool and hot tub, the Rexburg one does, so does the Comfort Inn in Rexberg.

type3tom -

Give Bowen Petroleum a call. A buddy of mine purchased a 5 gallon drum of it the first time I went to St. Anthony's. They may not have it on hand but can ordered it in so it's best to call ahead of time. They can also order race gas if they do not have it on hand.

Bowen Petroleum
Po Box 656, Rexburg, ID 83440
(208) 356-5731

As for how to set it up, I had to drop I believe 3 jet sizes in both of my bikes. The high altitude made them run fat as heck!

Thanks for the info. I'll give that place a call. The only thing I hated about that place when I was there last year was the altitude,had to rejet when we got there and the HP los, which you want to ride and not work on the bikes after driving 16 hours, of course we left St Anthonys and drove to Florence which took another 16 or so hours,but it was worth it.

Thanks again,Tom

I totally understand!! The banshee isn't bad to rejet but the 400ex with the FCR is a pain in the neck...or at least like you say, you drive that far I want to ride not turn wrench.

Hey type3tom - I just noticed you said you are going to be at Florence this year for Memorial weekend. I'm going to be there with a large group of buddies as well, we're camping at Driftwood II most of us will be in sites 29-41. We wanted to head to Coos Bay but the sites filled up to fast so we'll give Florence a try.

Yea,I be in Florence over the Memorial Day weekend then that Monday we're heading over to St.Anthonys for the rest of the week.I put the Edelbrock carb on mine so it'll be easier to rejet and I think I might sell my FCR thats set up for alky and maybe raise the compression up to help with the high altitude.It would be cool to hook up with a bunch of people at Florence,we usually have about 25 or so that head down that weekend.

Later,Tom

WE run our 400ex 170 main and 128 on the 300ex open air box.. but it runs just the same back home our altitude is about 2500 back home and arounf 5000 in St A's.. I guess it would suck for all you coming for the trip

Tina ~ I think I'm going to be over there from the 10th to the 14th for my vacation. I need to spend at least a day with my dad but I'm thinking Saturday morning I'll come over to ride for the day and then party it up with you guys Saturday night. If I can borrow my boyfriend's trailor I'll either sleep in that or put the canopy on my truck and sleep in the bed of the truck. My boyfriend might come over with me, but we aren't sure yet. He doesn't seem too crazy about the idea of me camping with a bunch of strangers, let alone drinking with them. I bet he'll eventually decide to go, but we still have a while to decide. I already asked him if he doesn't come to let me borrow his 350R, he said he'd think about it. Hehe, if I bring it I might let you ride it. :devil

I haven't raced there yet but it would be cool to do. I did the ice races last feb at the B of A center. That was really cool. I may go to check it out and I know a couple guys that do it but don't know there names and haven't seen them for a while so I may go just to talk to them and see what I need to do to race.
