I always hear about the fast bikes at Glamis, but I wonder how the fast bikes around here would compare. For example, Berts Trailblazer with the 150HP snowmobile motor... no nitros, and no turbo... basically a stock snowmobile motor. I think he now has 25" paddles. Would his bike even be in the running with these 500CC banshees, or the turbo banshees? Just curious?

There was a guy with a snowmobile motor in a frame at Sand Mountain. It could run the the 500cc's but boy was it ugly.

 

How fast were the 500cc banshees clocked at on monday ? If u were their u would no how fast the turbo bikes went give me an update and i can compare it with my info and then i can belive half of it .500cc banshees are still cool

 

there is a guy at glamis who had a red,white,and black banshee with a 10in ext swing arm who had a streetbike motor with a turbo and it was the fastest thing out there some 582 banshees with the snow mobile motors were fast to....but all in all its just great fun

 

DS Buddy, are you refering to A&S racing's turbo banshee's. Their web page claims 126 HP but my guess is thats probably not enough HP out there. I've heard his motor with 670 skidoo cylinder was putting out 150 HP when the tires started smoking on the dyno!

I'd love to goto Glamis someday but couldn't stand to sit by and just watch. Does anyone rent modded out quads at glamis?

 

If you guys like fast quads, check out Bertsdirtworks.com They have pics of that 800Twin Cylinder Polaris TrailBlazer. It is a sweet looking machine.

Yes A&S racing banshees they built a new bike with more HP than the one on their web site it should do pretty good i heard they hit 85 mph on the hill on monday .Its pretty cool what people can do to heir bikes when they feel the need for speed .

 

Look DS, Dan Hull was probably doing 85mph (actually 86 according to Dan) up the hill but the report is as follows:

Dan's turbo banshee with the selector switch for the alleged 90-130-160hp blew up. Now he is running on a different turbo and cannot get it dialed in. I guess the problem is that in your home State there are no hills so you cannot get the thing running on a hill.

Now, as for the mph thing. Here is racing education 101.
You can run the hill at 85mph but that does not mean you are the fastest up the hill. The bike that is quicker is the winner. Now, take the Legend from Trinity -- you know the one, the dark blue 500cc Banshee with the drag pipes -- it may only hit 75mph on the hill but the race is over for the turbo because it is not as quick. Ask Dan -- although he declined the offer to race the hill against the Legend, he knows and will admit that quick wins. Even if some year the turbo ran up the hill, all we need to do is add N20 and the turbo will be in the rear again.
Oh, by the way, the Legend is for sale in case you turbo boyz want dependable power.

 

U sure are sensitive about the turbo bike going up the hill faster than yours .Be nice their is enough sand out their for everybody to play.

 

Dan is a very nice guy. I have no problem with who gets up the sand first. YOU are the one who made this post that the TURBO is "Fastest at Glamis."

Anyway, I must give Dan credit though -- To build that turbo atv takes some serious brains.
