That Raptor that beat the three was mine. We have a video of it but it cuts off at the tree too,but I was already in front of one of them and coming around the other one. We are going to load the video as soon as I get my hands on it.

Please keep those videos coming, I especially want to see the Raptor that beat the fast YFZs. For some reason, I must have missed those races [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

hi all, i don't post often but i have to say the two yfz 450s were by far the fastest 4 strokes this weekend, the black 450 w/ the wheelie bar also had another black 450 with him that was extremly fast but it broke sat morn. the only bikes i saw beat the 450s were highly modded shees. what people have to realize is that the strip is alot longer than the 300 ft they race,some people would start shutting down at 300 ft. while others stayed in the gas longer. anyways i had a great time

Yeah, your exactly right. Most true drag bikes are geared for 300ft and thats it. Now, if your talking about topend speed, thats a little different story as we all know....I know we were running at least 600ft...I was anyway,

I relize that we where racing 300ft, but if you remember that the starting line kept moving forward so that meant that the finish line kept moving back.. Im not trying to start anything really Im not but . since the starting line moved up that meant the starting line started at 100ft marker.. So when they got to that tree they had another 200ft to go .. And in the video that we taped the raptor had already passed one of the yfzs and was reeling him almost side by sidewhen he passed the tree. We should be posting the video later on this evening...But you'll see that we are not trying to pull anyones leg

Are maybe you are right. Maybe they went a lil further than 300ft.. but there is no way of telling the way the starting line kept on moving up like it was... Well we will see on the video.. if not there we will see at the next 4stroke war,, that will be great wouldnt it?

Ced, I just got back to the motel from working today. I got your vids and give me a minute and I 'll have them up. Thanks.





Observer no offense taken - the start did move up at different times throughout the day. But know matter where the start was, I throttled to the end of the track. (And I got beat everytime)....Its time to spend some money.
