Just Got Back From Dumont
They had the black titanium equipped raptor, and I ran it with just about the same weight pilot as me, He beat me at the top of the hill by 3-5 bike lengths maybe less. (lunchmoney) on the left hand side of the hill it was closer... There bikes are sick fast and come on very strong on the top end..
I had never seen the smaller pilot in action till this weekend, I met him (DJ) I was shocked to see what all around skills this kid had (reaction time and all). He is just as good if not better of a rider than any of us. Also very nice kid (@65lbs he is a leathal weapon)... I dont think he has received the credit he deserves.. Everyone talks smack about sparks putting lighter pilots on, But It dont bother me.. I wish my son could ride like that. And I congradulated him instead of comming up with exuses like others. They put" DJ" on the yellow 465 and he flat out dropped the hammer on me, and I am willing to bet BIG money that the kid on the 465ex could have easily taken the open class at the MLK wars. They were just too easy on everyone..In my opinion..
And by the way, I saw what they run as far as "fuel", and to claim that they run nitro additives would not be true from what I saw.

Rapfam Sam didn't go. I think with the new engine build coming he needed to suck up for valentines day.

Thanks Dave, my son is wanting to see that 670, He claimed to be 110 HP, but I guess it wasnt enough, the rider is his own mechanic, he built my first stage 3 years ago, hes from Enoc Utah and has many of snowmobile drag trophys.
I had heard from a few people he came to outrun me..LOL

Just got back myself. Was glad to see Mario and Sixsixty again great bunch of people. Got to meet Redskin and Eaglecollector, darn fine guys. The difference with the 465 honda and Mario was D.J, 250r4life raced the owner with my bike and beat him pretty good. He wanted to wait for D.J. to race me but that didnot come about. We did race that guy's 465 stripped down, alcohol, no fendered honda. I had Josh Shirley pilot mine, D.J. was on his. We lost but It is hard to compete with a bike of that nature. Josh is one of the better pilots I have seen, His bike is the yellow Sparks Suzuki. He took home three trophys from FSWlll. It was one of the better trips I have been on. Oh I almost forgot Mario beat my bike pretty good.
