Sure you could get some "RETARD" on a quad with a crap load of hp lined up against somone with less but the guy doesnt no how to drive his high hp machine and stalls it off the line...or he just simply goes over backwards because he doesnt have experience to drive.

$$$ = HP. Spend more, go faster. Its simple really. The more scratch you have, and the more time you have to apply the money spent, the faster you will go. It seems like you would have realized that with the list of bikes in your stable. Throw your wallet on the table or go race with the kids.

Boat, here is the problem. Most of the guys on here could care less about the "numbers" you pull out. We love the rides we have choosen, just as you must really like yours. It is about the riding and social life that it provides. Honestly everyone, who cares about this is fast but that is faster. So go hype up your 2 stroke and have a great 'ol time. We really don't care. We can mod and Jenny Craig the DS and compete with the little fall apart machines, me personally I like flying by bullet proof tank around. Quit trying to get everyone rallied up.

It is all about the ride!!!

Hey boat ya forgot one:

Sparks 450r drag bike...190lbs...71hp....2.67 power to weight ratio.


Sandbomber at 380lbs looks like your bike is making 142.3hp...SWEET!!!! And i thought our dyno was supposed to be forgiving. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I think I will make a prediction. I'm going to say at Planet Sand '06 the "big talkers" will be sitting behind a keyboard and people like Robert (Thumper Racing)and Glen (Sandbomber) will be laying down the "big numbers"!!
