Glad you could make it and run the hill with us!!!

You have a darn fast YFZ, next time we will really get them tuned in...The other guy with the YFZ had a strong runner too.
Did you run the yellow sparks 4?? ex???...He told me he could not run on the right hand side of me because he could not hear his motor..LoL

Great to have met you! And thanks for your help too. The right start means a ton - just like you said. I've got some work/testing/training to do. I just can do it in the snow up here.

Once I was on methanol, the yellow 400 was mine everytime - even when he got the holeshot. Damn nice looking machine it was though. That was fun racing and a great hill to do it on. I was surprised at how steep it actually was once I was standing there staring at it.

Anyone on your right will either go deaf or get poisoned from the fumes. The key is to either stay in front of you or just not line up. One way is not cheap and the other free.

The fella (John) w/ the LRD piped YFZ had a real good machine and the proper weight to run the hill. I can see that thing doing a lot of damage in some stock classes.

There were not many people while I was there and the weather was nice and cool - a lot better than here. Yes you should have gone. There were probably close to (10) forum members that I met.

So. . . what were the results? Selector vs. Annihilater?

Any video?

Are you kidding? I got nothing for that beast. Thanksgiving may have been a different story - or at least a much closer one. I won't give away and details, but Annihilater made some significant HP gains since then.

Any video?
Dunno. I know there'll be some of me and Raptor03.

Damn! I'm gonna need Chevron to sponsor my fuel! Labor Day? That's in September right? I can probably commit to that so long as I have an operable machine.

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I was @ the hill on gas and ran against the yellow sparks 465. I was so damn close (1/2 quad) that I went back to camp to convert to meth. I came back and Raptor 03 was right there. On meth I did well on either hill. I wish I had known he was gonna be there that early, I would have waited and run gas.

Sounds like a awesome trip. I would love to make a trip like that, but considering it's on the other end of the country, I don't know. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

There will be videos. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I haven't looked and converted what I have. I don't think I have Selector and Annihalater running each other but if i do I'll get it up. I do have the supposed sparks 690 Raptor that won 4sw's last year (rumors, I thought it was a black bike, this one is blue) racing Mario (annihalater) very close races. I'm pretty sure (but maybe not [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]) I have mario spanking the sparks 465 ex on alky. I've got selector racing Raptor03, even got some of me getting spanked by all comers, LOL, and others. Don't count on any getting posted tonight. Tomorrow is another day though. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Oh, for the record (since I have no video of it) Selector was only able to beat me by 2 bike lengths......ok, ok, 3 or 4.......ok, ok make that 8+ probably 10. I can only imagine how far ahead he'd be by the end of his hill at LS Utah.
