Oregon Dune Ride again
Well I spent the whole week out there breaking in my new rings. What I mean is I ran the chit out of it. I burned almost $200 of race fuel and only found one 1 fourstoke I couldn't beat. The LRD Raptor from the Dirtwheels issue showed up yesterday and he jumped us twice getting 2 lengths off the line and we got back within about 1 length by the top of the hill (350'). My buddy who was piloting jumped the gun on the third race which made for a perfectly even start. He still pulled us by a length out of the hole but we pulled even that run by the top of the hill. The rest of the fourstrokes this weekend were piped and lightly modded YFZ's and Raptors. I had no trouble pulling them by solid margins.
There were 4 Ron Wood DS's that showed yesterday morning. They were really nice guys. I had a distinct advantage with my setup but we ran several times and since I pulled a Ninja and told them I was mostly stock, they were quite disappointed with their builds. I couldn't let them go home feeling that way so I fessed up to my myriad of mods. You should have seen the relief that came over their faces.
Dragon, good to see you man. Wish we could have ridden together more but I had a full plate of family to lead on a ride. Oh, by the way..............I was a little disappointed that I didn't smoke that LRD Raptor. When i read that prostitution of an article dirtwheels did on that thing, I remember saying how I thought my DS would smoke that piece of crap..........didn't go down that way.

DSNUT.It sounds like you have a real runner.From your description you could have probably taken the Raptor you mentioned given a longer race since you were gaining on him.I ride Florence most of the time and there are a few Raptors there that are very fast particularly one from near where you live that is black and he rides with his son who also rides a black Raptor.Have you ever lined up with them?I am in the process of having my DS built with some HPR parts and i am looking forward to seeing how that all works.I am leaving my DS looking almost totally stock with the exception of an end cap and although not as built as yours it should surprise a few here and there.There are more sleeper quads than there used to be and if you ride Florence watch out for a white yfz.It really hauls.

i've never asked him how to spell his name, pam did tell me she knew his engine so there is something going on, he isn't one to let go first. i don't know where he is at now, i couldn't get him on the short hill last time we raced but the longer one and the flats were good didn't seem good to squeeze then. but i'm sure it's all new now, [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] i think he was doing some tranny work last i talked to him.

Wish I could have been there for the whole week. We could not even get close to you with our slow pigs, but it is all still good fun. Glad to hear you had a good time up there. How was the weather, it did not look like it was all that great based on the weather reports I was reading....
