I just having fun, but I really do hate raptors (long story and very expensive)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] I've never been beaten by one, but the biggest built one I've ever race'd was my dad 727 with only cam and pipe. he almost stayed with me till top end were I pulled harder. But he had alot of motor issues. he's on a yfz now and much happier.

I'm not a drag racer, I use to do a little in the pits till we lost all our spots. so now I just race MX.

if your happy with your raptor and it stay together better then our two, I happy for you.

 

And I'm glad you're happy with your ds. They are great machines, just not suited for me. I am only a drag racer during the summer months to test and tune my upgrades and to secure sponsors. My real passion is ice racing in the long cold winter and so my bike is very similar to a flattrack machine, not a drag racer. My raptor is not highly tuned, just some basic mods but that hasnt seemed to get in my way too much as turns have a lot of impact on the winner.

In any case, I'm just glad neither of us is on a polaris[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Ice racing is a fun sport! I went out once last year before the rip down, and now I got the itch[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

the ds 650s rotax motor will make a lot more power than the raptor and still last 10 times as long

 

660R vs 650 DS = better rider
