Was the Raptor in the same class as the "MIGHTY" DS650?

The Raptor was in the same class DS650DAVE. Due not go by what is listed on ORC web page there coverage of the Baja was sub-par.

TimmyBoy will have pictures of his prep work on his website as soon as he gets back from Cabo. He is currently attempting to beat the world record for margarita consumption.

looks like ur a victim of the same kind of crap alba has been laying on everyone-they are lowlifes that take others work and take the credit for it-in the past they have tried to get the manufacturer of my hard product, a arms, light guards, etc which is timmyboy designs and have him copy them-being of some ethical quality he refused-now he totally prepared the ds for the the baja 20000 in which it won-alba simply supplied the bike via bombardier request and bomb gave the team $10,000 working monies for mods and expenses-evryone thought timmy and the rest were stupid for even trying-now that they are winners here come the band wagon ppl-heck, alba only donation was a pipe that fell off during testing and a sticker kit-they have money and will try their best to influence all of us with their 'win' they couldnt get laid in a whorehouse with aroll of hundred dollar bills-they have cheated me before-are you next??alba-stay in the dunes!!!

hey dood-the ds had tcs shocks, timmyboy a arms, steering stem and a ct pipe-the engine was bone stock-it was a dog fight all the way to cabo but the ds reigned supreme-the raptor all seem to have problems with the eichner raptor breaking a steering stem and some ranny problems-seems like the other raptors had tranny problems also-seems like the ds has found a home where it is welcomed, called baja-alba will be taking most the credit for their sticker kit was the deciding factor, jk, the riders and prep from timmyboy is the key factor-experienced riders and good prep make for a winning team-thinking of trading my raptor for a ds before the tranny goes out-hehe

orc had the best coverage of the race i know of-score was the worst and it was their race-orc deserves credit for what they did do-can you advise me of someone else that has as good or better coverage of racing then please do so-i was biting my nails waiting for the results-fortunately timmy from timmyboy designs called me as they crossed the finish line for the win so i could go to bed that nite-7 guys that roide their rears off-not young guys but experienced men that together prob have more baja wins than can be imagined-

the ds was the fastest quad overall besides winning its class-they finsihed-pro ds 650, pro 400ex, sportsman 400ex and then the almighty raptor of doug eichner-the rider of record would be juanita despacio-but as always its the paid gunslingers of eichner and other extremely fast riders that almost gave the win to juanita despacio, fat juan gregory, they did do quite well though, only 1 sportsman team beat them-hehehe

Thanks for the info on the prep work on the DS650. I heard that Ricky Stator had a trick HID light system for the DS650. They are so bright that when the DS650 came up behind the Raptor at night it pulled over cause it thought a trophy truck was coming up on them. Due you Know if they had a larger gas tank on the DS650.

the tank on the ds for the 2000 was made by timmboy-not sure what it held but it did have a unique feature about it-there were 2 tubes of aluminum that ran forward thus continueing the forward progress of the 2 intakr tubes that fed the airbox-it did an excellent job of keeping the filter premo fresh-ah-look at timmyboydesigns.com for pics of the tank-looks like Master Blaster's party helmet-hehe
