For real, that's a cool teacher! Pudljumpr, thanks for noticing the pic in the mag but it's not in dirtwheels, it's in ATV Sport. I thought it would be pretty cool, I like to show off the quad and the wife so it worked out well.

Pimp250R, The YFZ 450 is four stroke so It can't be powervalved[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
It's fast because It's a new engine design (Aggresively cammed, 5 valves, revving to the moon, high compression ratio).

<u>I THINK</u> That's why it's so fast. Correct me If I'm wrong

with that being said...I am gonna race on a 1/8 mile ice flat track in Jan....with my mods...should I stick to 250 open...or should I chance it and enter in open modified and hope one of these yfz's dont show up? I know for a fact I will be racing against atleast 3 440ex's
I know and a piped banshee(which handles like a cow btw)...should I even bother with this class?

I wouldnt race in the open class with your mods pimp. There wil probably be banshees, lt500, and other 250r's with alot more than just a pipe, and besides your pipe is a bottom end pipe not a top end like your supposed to have for ice racing.
