Description:
I started XC racing on a red 2003 P650 in January of 2004. My very first XC race was The Lone Star GNCC race held in Gilmer, TX. I competed in the utility stock class with Mike P. (he took the win that day) and several others. Needless to say, it was a rough and tough introduction to XC racing, but I somehow managed to finish this GNCC race (finishing the race was my one and only goal that day!) and I've been hooked ever since! Since that time, I have continued racing in local XC races (ATVCCS) in the utility B class, and it's a LOT of fun! I later installed 22" tires on the front and rear of my 2003 P650 (see pics below) and this was a welcome upgrade for its handling in tight turns (After 2 years, I sold these small tires/rims and I now race with 25" alltraks). In February 2005, I blew out my front diff during the 6 hours of TX race (I competed against Mike P that day too). I then decided to part out that 2003 quad and bought myself a green 2002 P650 with only 405 miles on it...which I spent the next 3 months rebuilding and now its a YELLOW 2002 P650 (see pics below) with motor mods (Wiseco 11:1 pistons, Hotcams, ceramic coated Supertrapp IDSX exhaust, Dyna CDI, top speed clutch mod, etc.).In late 2005, I broke the front diff of the 02 P650 and paid $1K to repair it...only to have it lock up again a few months later and the dealership refused to warranty their work. So I ended up parting out that quad too! In April 2006, I bought a 2004 Twin Peaks 700 and I recently installed the FST 800 BBK...its mighty fast now! God bless America for the freedom to own and ride 4 wheelers! Happy trails...
