lots of fun raced with some kfx 700 they seem fast but not as fast as my wife piped ds, but i think they will get fast as the aftermarket hits.
well this was my first ride with the pipes and they made a big difference, and i'm thinking the 45mm helped but i thought it would be more. and maybe it was just me.
raced two sparks 690 they ran great and i would say they beat me 4 out of 5 so every run was a real fight made for some real fun.
ran a 770 raptor fri- didn't lose to him.
ran another 770 sun morning couldn't beat him.
ran into a stage 2 and a stage 3 ds the 3 had me race his quad for him that was kind of fun but would have rather raced him, i guess he got a kick out of the banshees getting killed by his quad.
so this is the question i have my quad ran great( i think) our comp hill isn't hugh but it is kind of steep now after the winter storms, so i was able to get my best runs in a one gear race second and go, if i shifted to third the front would come up and the quad would slow. the wheelie part was cool but i thought the quad should have kept pulling. my wifes would pull third not that it would beat mine in second. i did switch to the 20" that we run on hers and both with 20" she would edge me every time, i do weigh 40 pounds more then her but with the engine i thought i would have thought i could pull her. as the hill got dry i started to pull my wife, by as many as 3 quads, but when it was wet she was hard to beat, and i think that was because i have the 22" haulers, well thanks for any help, and we had a blast.

Hey Sandman, sounds like you had a great time. I went to Sandlake today with my buddy and had a blast. I saw 6 or 7 DS's and even one KFX700. The weather was perfect!

forgot to mention tha t the weather was great, we rode and rode. the wife got suck in a stream crossing, and the ds is heavy stuck in the wet sand it was all i could do to get it out. the next time we came across i told her to get to the edge then go. well she thought i meant go fast well it just soaked her nothing like riding with a girl in a wet t-shirt[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] i think i still am owed something for going in the stream to get her quad out , when the water and sand sprayed all over me, she said sorry and i told her it was ok it would blow off in the wind i think she thought some thing else.
