Thanks for the replies. Sounds like I'm going to need some slight mods to take him. I'll let you know how the race turns out.

 

He won.. but not by much!

 

I raced my bone stock Scrambler 400 2X4 against two different 400EXs my first trip to the Badlands in IN.
In every race, is was almost exactly even. Whover got a better start ended up winning by about a quad length.
Later on after plenty of mods, 400EXs with pipes were no big deal, very easy to beat.

 

I took my 2000 400 4x4 to Silver Lake 1 week after I got it.

I lines up against a bunch of 400ex in sand drags. (My 400 was bone stock)

Of the line I could get the hole shot but was soon passed. It was alway no more than a quad length at the end. Like everyone said a Pipe and clutch kit should even thing out.
