I did race my first C'dale Speed last week-end at the dunes. It had paddles & HMF pipe (I had paddles & an HMF too) I'm not sure if the C'dale had anything else but it was fast. The holeshot was awesome. I did win 1 or 2 while losing 3 or 4 to him (hard to tell when 10 quads run all together!) But if I didn't get a perfect holeshot I was beat. That Speed is quick. Quite an impressive launch.
If I only had the money....

Andrew, I agree.
Those damn C'dales launch HARD! It is hard to play catch up when both quads are some what equal in power/ratio.

Yep, I got 3rd in the holeshot in my last race, and I was up against majorly MX built R's, Shee's, Ex's, and a pretty quick 240cc built Blaster.

I didn't notice. It was hard to tell with eveyone racing, plus trying to see the flag when the people on the right keep scooting ahead. Cheaters!

I was just happy to participate
