That's interesting , do they have a site for specs on these ?

I read your profile , looked at your pics , and that's a pretty awesome quad you got there , custom wheels ?


I'm interested in just playing in a stock type class , do you have any details on organizations , classes and rules ?


I'm Intensely involved in " Heads Up " drag racing Canada and State side and usually attend 8-10 races a year so I don't have alot of time to run a Mod class but would like to play at least a couple of times a year

Thanks

Lentech, I have the classes and rules that I use, sometime they differ from area to area.


Mpockets. If the rules say that you pull what you bring, you'll do good, the 700 is heavier and hitch is higher and EFI should be at peak performance.

If the rules allows bikes to add weight so they all weigh the same, and the hitch height are the same, you'll have you hands full with the 600 lb bikes that can add weight to the front.

get a high ingagement spring, a stiff secondary spring, chain between the rear axle tight so it doesn't jump.

good luck

Shotgun , Judging by the Polaris Twin design , these engines aren't ever going to set any records in the horse power department , [ inline 2valve push rod ] compared to the competition , but looking at the layout I think it has an excellent prospects for a Turbo , lots of room in front where the exhaust merges , have you ever seen it done before ?

Thanks

Mpockets, when we pulled with Polaris', the 500 HO was the largest we could get, might have changed in the newer models, but we would put a small chain or cable across between the rear axles, and tighten it. this would keep the hitch height from lowering, when the weight of the drag sled was on it and stop the jumping under pressure.

Lentech, haven't seen any turbo on Pol, seems a supercharger would work better. that the direction I'm headed.

Are you going to use a " positive displacement " or a " centrifugal " type ?
