you could beat a stock banshee or a poor running piped and filtered banshee.

it really depends on how you ride the whoops at the bottom of that hill, if you let them stay with you there they will take you on the top. oh and be ready to go on the launch look at the swing arms my raptor buddies theroy there is anything with out one is in his range works about 75% of the time, when are you going we will be there 15 16 feb

oh if you haven't raced there, thier are plenty of 4 strokes to run and the banshees will come for you, the dales are the best, i haven't seen the predator out on comp yet but i rode one over at the south jetty hill and it was nice but my wifes ds could take it but she isn't a strong drag racer. you sound set up well for that hill though. so things should go well for you, she will give you a run against the ds if you make it this weekend, look for us we have the red spring covers.

there isnt anything to that hill or "bump" as a lot of us call it. Make a real race out of it and come to the flats. You know where they are right? Im being serious, if you dont know where they are let me know. Comp is a joke

i think we all know where that flat spot is it is kind of hard to miss what is it like 3 miles long or more, seems that would be agood place for a ds to run but not many people show there they all line up at the bump. the flat is where my kids like to go as do i i can keep a good eye on them. let us know when you are going to be there i would like to see your machine run.

Yeah i wish more people would hit the flats, its a better test to see how a machine runs. You can line up a 310r on gas and a 370 on meth and only beat the gas bike by a length or so on the bump, but on the flats its usually a clear indicator of the winner. Id like you see you guys out there this weekend if it doesnt rain. There should be some pretty damn fast bikes out there.

Thanks Shotgun...i think? That long bike weighs about 200 pounds and approx 80-90 horses. Our banshee weighs 240 pounds with approx. 200 horse power. lol. both are pretty wicked rides. Thanks for the comp-lo-ments
