Default Drag Racing a V force

I keep my weight (270) on the back in sand to help the wheels grab. I usually do pretty good in drags. I do need to be careful though, if the wheels grab too much the fronts go up fast.

I've found that on an automatic you can get a better launch if you turn your front tires sligtly at the start, this will make them push for just a split second before straightening out which will help keep the front end down. This way you dont need to shift your weight so far forward in order to prevent wheelies. I dont know if anyone else uses this technique but it works for me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

LMFAO!!! That is by far the coolest/funniest thing I've ever seen on a quad...but since I live in Vegas too, I'm going to steer clear of ALL V-Forces just in case!
