Convenient that "fast" is a relative term [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

themez- lol, you know what i mean. I would like to see sub 5 second c-dales ets. C-dales like the mx tracks. With the frog looks they are at home jumping doubles (until the break)

The fastest i've seen our Banshees run in 300ft. is 4.0's to 4.1's on all motor in after market lightweight frames; so for the Raptor to be running in the 4.3's is darn impressive to me; wish I had the money to do one like it. Congrats on the the way the bike is running!! Slim

Yeah, I'm just thinking a sub-5 is possible. I'll try and find out what the kid in PA is running. I know he will be upgrading over the winter to a SBM Stage IV so that will have to help quite a bit. And yeah, we like MX tracks, and dragging against anything else stock for stock cept the YFZ ... we can handle anything other than that.

What did mean by "until the break"?

You can't expect perfection from a pure race machine [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] Most of the problems they have with quitting is actually electrical crap - bad grounds killing batteries, etc.... not usually mechanical if they are maintained as supposed to be.

And I tow Raptors all the time with my Wolv - averaged 1 or 2 every time I rode this summer. They have their bad days too [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
