Wanted to know what a stock or piped raptor runs in 300'.

 

Tracks vary in et because of different conditions and elevations....but I will throw some #'s out from my personal experience this past Friday at a 300' track.
Stock appearing Raptor, Predator, DS = 6.60-80 Z400 7.00-7.20 400ex payed no attention
Piped appearing Raptor, C-dales, Predators (no piped DS available that I noticed) = 6.20-6.5
I ran high 5's on my cammed and higher compression Raptor with 22" tall trail tires. I feel a little was lost due too a gearing change I recently made....but thats the first time too that track...so who knows? I figure there was 80 sport quads there for the test and tune session. It seems most of the riders were under 160 pounds.
Don't believe 90% of the 300' ET's people throw around in these forums.....they are scared too death someone else is quicker.

 

Almost forgot.....piped 450's were running about heads up with piped Raptors, C-dales, and Predators. Again, this is first hand knowledge.

 

A stock rapptor only runs 6.60-.80?!?!?!?!?![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] Dont mean to start anything but my P650 will hang with it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

4.9 off the bottle.. no runs just put it on!!!

 

Piped Raptor (full Sparks X6), Dynojets, trimmed snorkle (lid on), 8 paddle 22 X 11 X 10 Extreme haulers, Front solid struts, narrowed rear end, rear suspension tied down solid & wheelie bar.
Best time 5.89 with cool air & very low humiditys, 6.20 with 90 degree + temps & 70%-80% humiditys
Approx 1200' alt, level groomed sand track.

Times will vary as Gary660R said, % of dirt & sand in track, moisture content of track, temp & humidity & driver skill & weight, you can lose a lot of time if you can't launch right so 6'80 isn't out of line for a stock Raptor that wheelies out of the start.

Some tracks are built down hill to give false times (the Texas sand drags track drops 30' from start to finish!!) so there are a lot of variables in the times you might hear.

 

Remember, different tracks will yield sometimes very different times....I posted nothing concerning a P650 because they basically run with a 400ex in 300'. You can throw mild 250r's in with the piped crowd too....but mild 250r's are scarse. All of the above atv's I posted yould easily go too another track and possibly pick up 3/10's depending on track and conditions. BTW, I did forget too mention that the starting line was a 6-8" pit that everyone had too negotiate pulling out...so that did not help anyone...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].

 

I raced a KX500 that put about 13-15 lengths on me and ran a 4.8....me running a 5.7 on the very humid evening.....SO, I could believe a hard running, properly, professionally built Raptor doing that. Around a 5.0 is QUICK for a 4 stroke thumper with the OE engine. Hard running 2 strokes that are slammed with the bar are just getting started at that et though. If I did not trail ride and got serious racing, a wheelie bar would help....the start seems most important. Later gentlemen.

 

the only track around me is a concrete drag strip (1/8 mile) and they also give you a 330ft time

 

4.8's with a friends 727 off just race fuel. Quick bike!! Slim
