Here is one with the 800 DS and the 730 Raptor:

Yfz vs 730 Raptor vs 800 DS

The video really only shows the start as people were in the way at the end. Everybody was rolling. Craycraft and Mr Hp's bikes impressed the hell out of me. In a different venue It is possible that the big bores would have caught up. And to be fair the Raptor did go down this day and the 800 was still tuning. If I had the IDs wrong, let me know and I will correct.

I was impressed by all there.

Bigdsrider (or anyone who has them), email your videos to me and I put them up for you -- overrated@cableone.net

 

Dad and I just got in, man that's a long drive! Neither one of us has had that much fun in a long time, non-stop ATV action from 8am - 3am on Friday and Saturday.

Those YFZs were flat out amazing. No matter how hard I launched or which tires/gears I tried, they pulled a couple of bike lengths right out of the hole. If we ran another couple hundred feet, things might have been different but I wouldn't bet money on it. Got to give those guys props, those bikes were really set up. They fed me sand more than a couple of times, 12 paddle Haulers really throw a roost [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

Besides Craycraft's Raptors, the Silver Bullet Raptor and Mr. Meaner's big Bomb ran **extremely** strong. Choosetolose was surprisingly fast for a stock Bomb motor, he'll be trouble for sure when he goes big bore.

I had self-induced head gasket problems on Saturday afternoon. Bob Craycraft reminded me a lot of my Dad as he lectured me on *the proper* head bolt torque sequence. Fortunately, a quick retorque put me back in the game.

I'm a little disappointed that nobody mentioned my firecrackers, I thought they made more of an impression.

I met a bunch of guys from the forums and glad I got the chance to put a name with a face. Everyone I met was super friendly, that part of the weekend was as much fun as the drag racing. Ced's buddy made some awesome jumbalaya and shared like we were all family, way cool. To my old and new friends, thanks for a great weekend. It was worth every mile.

 

Had a great time and yes I got the red one running and running real good. Some really fast bikes but I held my own. That YFZ(white and red) was unreal. Great to see all of you guys. Ced sorry to hear about the case and fun running with Choose. Nice track and good company. Not many slow bikes. Whats this world coming to

 

It was fun to say the least got her to hook up a bit better late sat. Thanks CED[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Firecrackers??? hell you give new meaning to the word "BOMB". Your 2 inch crackers were killer, it is just that you had to light them so far away from people that some of the excitement of your smaller stuff was not felt. If you could have lit the big stuff closer to us we would have had to put cotton plugs in our ears to stop the bleeding just from the concussion. I like the way you use all the safety equipment and antistatic spray when you build the crackers. We all saw that and just moved a good distance from you while you were building the crackers. I thought you said they were safe? I will keep to CO2 bombs to be safe. Next time we can do a 2 litre or 5 gallon co2 bomb and see how it does against your crackers. I liked the idea of sending an empty 2 inch bomb lit to that other camp that complained but we might have caused more excitement than we wanted.

 

Fast 69, sorry about getting your name wrong in a few of my post. It was great getting to meet you and some of your pilots. What paddle and sprocket combo did you end up with?? Wish I could have stayed late to see the fireworks display and do some more racing.

I think my bike was glad I decided to leave alittle early. I gave it hell all day Saturday.

Ubetrun, sorry I didnt get the opportunity to meet with you. Hopefully in Aledo.

Glad to hear you got your bike running Meaner. I wish I would have got to see it run. Did you fiqure out which one was faster?? Number 1 or 2?
