Yes race him through the MUD. My buddy at work has a 350 Banshee................IT IS FAST STOCK!!!He can pull up beside me on my SP 450 and lift the front-end up in a wheelie no problem at all(on the pavement anyway).....He is a expert rider (also a NUT)....He used to race on the tour back in the late 80's/90"s with the monster truck and moto-cross circuit he started out on the 3-wheelers racers...............caper..........

Best time to race him is first thing in the morning with the dew still on the grass.
Run yours in 4wd and you will out run him for about 200 feet.
He will slip off the line and panic when to take off like a rabbit and are out in front of him by 6 or 7 lengths. LOL [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Otherwise not much of a chance, sport against race not much of a race.
