Congrats on what is a bad@ss machine. Is there any thoughts on uping the Nitrous shot and maybe turning a 4.1 ? That would go down in the history books on a single cylinder 4-stroke.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] I'm obviously very impressed.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Bob seems to have these Rappy's figured out so maybe we'll see a first place finish at the Aledo drags next year.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Biggerisbetter- the 2 motors are different. One has a TI rod the other does not. The headwork is a little different in Kelly's quad. Kelly has 39mm FCR's and Ryans has 35mm. One is hi-comp the other custom low comp. I have no doubt that Ryan is about to get his moving. I believe he is ready to get rid of his crappy intake system. His quad was lowered and mean the other night. As soon as his new swing arm comes in i bet his times drop 2 tenths due to curing the wheely problem. Ryan drives it like he had to pay for it himself. lol

The quad weighs more than 300 pounds, has a starter, reverse etc. The tranny was done by another person and kelly did the front end himself. Bob and Jerry did the motorwork and then BOB assembled everything and put the motor in the frame. Bob will do override tranny's if anyone wants one.

This is the total package on a oem frame and motor.

Off nos this motor has 20 or more HP than any 4 stroke quad i have seen. I have always thought that DSmike's Blackie, Samcoeds 760, Jeffinthecity,Scooby, Dunedevil and the bom had all fourstroke quads covered until this monster was born. This raptor will whoop them all. It is about time a raptor was the TOP DOG. It took a while and we used to say DS's cost a lot to build up. LOL

I am sure that this CRAYCRAFT 730 will be at atoka sooner or later. The quads he runs with go there all the time. They run them all and i am sure Kelly will also. This raptor is faster than Azsands mouth in high gear!!
It won't whoop my DS, maybe the others on the list but not my DS. Plus my DS can be ridden at the dunes. Last time at LS, with the clutch not slipping, the DS couldn't keep the frontend down with +8 swingarm and granny shifting, had to let off and abort race. Needs +10 or +12 arm.

Does anybody have a Wheelie bar for Scooby?


My money is on Scooby!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]


And I would also like to see Kelly race DSmike's (blackie) off the bottle. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I would bet thier would only be a tenth difference. I feel pretty confident that "blacky" could run 4.7 at TSD. But the rappy with its current set-up should still have a BIG advantage. Plus having 20!! more H.P. LOL.


hekk I would race just for fun!(maybe half time intertainment)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Biggerisbetter- Dsmike was SUPPOSE to show up last time. I guess he was scared. Dsmike has run on the track with his drag banshee, not sure that he was below 4.5 BUT i do not remember. He may have run faster I will take your bet on the 2. (dsmike and Scooby) as long as it is 5 bucks or under[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Seen them all run and they will have to catch him. Kelly does not run alky so does that mean DSmike has to run race Gas?? Talk about the track being fast has not shown up on my quad. I give "blackie" a 4.9 and scooby a 4.9. Just the way it is. I believe that the track has one move event planned for the 10th of November. Do we have any players? I will provide some beer. I know that DSmike has some NOS parts so it would be easier for him to strap on the bottle. There is no reason for him to slow down is there??


If you think you are going to unload and pick up 2 tenths on this track you are mistaken. That is talk from those that have not run on it.


So how about it?? A fall race for the wicked fast? Maybe assand and zombie can make it.

He is something to ponder- 100 dollars each to dsmike or scooby if they can post a 4.281 or better at Texas Sand Drags

Mark,

Aint nobody scared. Mike was at LS with me this past weekend. It is alot easier to come to the dunes on your day off, then to drive 6+hrs on friday,and leave work early.

As far as the track goes, time slips dont lie. Mikes best time on his yellow DS at Atoka is 5.3 ,Mikes best time at TSD is 5.000. That is the facts.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Since I have never been thier myself, I personally wont make any assumption on the track. Now Steve's best time on mikes yellow DS is 4.9( AT ATOKA same night as mikes best 5.3) , so I think you can see where I get the 4.7 number.


I am not "down playing" that kelly's rappy is running those times (thats excellent!), but you are "down Playing" every other quad that has Ruled LS,and Aledo for the past 3 years. And you havent seen any of them run at TSD because they have never been thier. So why are you telling all these guys that They have no chance? You dont see them in here telling Kelly to come to LS and Run UP hill,or strap some suspension on, and run out in the Beat -up dragg strip.


Anyways, I dont know why we are talking smack about some others peoples fast quads.LOL! I say I will race you for a Hamburger,and THATS THAT![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]





BIgger.
