Default yfz 450 at the drags

just the other night there was a big drag race, and there were 3 new 450's. i didn't race, but i stayed to watch the fun, and the 450's deffinately kicked @ss. top 5 went like this.
1. Heavily modded shee
2. 250 r
3.yfz 450
4. 250 r
5.yfz 450
these were dirt drags, and there were over 300 bikes competeing, and these were the winners of the unlimited class. as far as i could tell the 450's were stock, and everything else was modded. the track was very short, probably not even 300 ft, so it all deppended on the start, but i thought you guys might be interested this

thats pretty cool that they made a 4 stroke that gets a jump off the line like a 2 stroke!

It's because a manufacturer finally had the ***** to put a potent motor in a quad!

Nice to see those results.

Over 300 bikes competing? I would asume this was an official scheduled event since 300+ bikes showed up. Where at? Whats the name of the place? Do you have a phone #?

it was actually at a yearly fair. its called jefferson county fair, and they paint 2 lines down the straight stretch of a dirt track and they call it good. it was a double illimination, and thee were like 5 diferent heats. there isno fhone number, and i don't have any info on it. i know it happens once a year at this fair tho. if i would have known anything about it i probably would have raced, but becaus of the short notice i just watched.

i know there might be another one in clearfeild county. it is a bigger fair, and i'm trying to get them to have one. it would be the same exact same type of thing on a dirt track
