If I remember correctly the Quad 500 does 76, Tecate-4 does 74, the Banshee does 74 and the other 250's fall somewhere around 70 and 71 mph. I beleve I read this out of an 87 or 88 3Wheeling then later called ATV Sports Magazine. I'll have to get them out of storage and verify. Oh, by the way I have ATV magazines form 83 on(the height of three wheelers). My collect from the 80's is the most complete because the 90's were kind of boring for the sport. But with new machines I think I'll resubscribe.

 

Scrambler 400 While your shifting gears I'm gone.

 

I would like to go trail riding with you one time. I think you might change your mind about those racks.

 

What I have I have to say don't really have anything to go with which stock quad is faster but I had to get in on it anyway. I belong to a club thats hooked on drag racing. We have a set of lights built by race america with sensors and the whole nine yards. Our cables run out to 300ft. So it really isn't about top end with us. Our 250 two stroke class is mostly TRX's but one guy has an LT the last year. 91? He has an LRD pipe and a 35mm
PWK no porting as far as I know and a cool head. He claims 180psi compression. I have an 87 TRX with a fatty torque, rad valve cage, and a 36mm PWK. 170psi compression no porting. I can beat him if I get a good light. We all run the 300ft. in the 6sec. range.
And I can testify that a modified Polaris Sport or Scrambler will haul the mail. Anybody in the Cornbelt that wants to come run through the lights drop me a line. GO ON YELLOW!

 

That sounds like fun.
300ft sounds about right. A drag is race of acceleration, not top speed. Top speed is for 16 yr old kids in dads car on Saturday night!
A400L (aka Jerry Goodman) went to some of those races I think. He races a '99 Sport. He said they had a christmas tree & all.
c-ya,

 

Yea I met Jerry at a race. His Polaris is fast. He even got a pic in ATV sport

 

yea well in louisiana, drag racing is a high competition sport. we have a wide variaty every weekend at the races, Dirt Wheels even did a article about us. i have 2 banshees myself, they run in the low 4's. some guys can get in the 3.9's and 4.0's and yes we have stagin lights, christmas trees and ET's etc etc just like the real strip

 

I read that article, how long are the strips?

 

they are 300ft strips
