Oh, no need for appologies dude. I was dissapointed when the girlfriend called me and said it wasn't there - I had a tape in the VCR for her and everything...I was inconvenienced my own self...
Problem here is that the race is blacked out for the city of Indy, and shown on TV later. Outside the city you can watch it live. I'm at work, in the city, so I was gonna watch it when I got home and still beat eveybody here to it, but now it has lost its luster!

Greg is at Indy! He is only on the track for the start of the race. They did not show him on TV last race either.

Hey Hightower. Appreciate the input about the DS. I have been looking at the DS650 for about a year. Ended up buying a Rubicon and then a ScramblerX but I keep coming back to the DS650. The wife keeps telling me to get the 4-whlr that I really want. I miss the speed and umpfh that comes from a standard shift machine. I've just never had it in a four-cycle. I've always had two-cycle sport quads.

Thanks for the invitation for a ride on the DS. I'll try to make it to the Badlands on the 15th. I'll keep in touch with ya, Hightower.

Scott

Greg ran a couple of exibition pace laps at the Pheonix IRL race, but they were never televised. He also did some demo runs towing an 18 wheeler down the front strait and dragging a 660 Grizzly and Sportman 500 backwards[with a Traxter 500], despite their best efforts.

Bombardier spent ALOT of money [$14-$15 million on their IRL sponsorship] to sponsor these events, and do these demos, but without it being televised, I doubt they will see much in the way of results. If they want to sponsor racing, don't most of you think they should look into sponsoring ATV racing instead?

Let me get ahold of 5% of that budget, and I'll have used Raptors for sale all over the country so people can buy a new DS.
