coulda, shoulda, woulda does not line the mantel with throphies, BUT it is easy to see scooby had more power. The guys that won the throphy KNOW they got lucky and who had the fastest quad. Winning the race is one thing, knowing you did so on a less powerful quad...

So I guess the Turbo Raptor should hand over the trophy since he didn't have the most powerful quad right? Give me a break. Like I said before, some of you boys don't understand what "racing" is, in any form of it. So go pull up you panies and worry about the NEXT race, not the last. Your only as good as your last race, and it seems some of you aren't as good as you want to be!

MOTOx26,
Dont waste your breath, 14 mins lives by the dyno and thats how we figures races are run. Who cares who is faster in the race, or if they can ride, or if they have setup the quad better.
To them, if it appears you are faster in qualifying, then those who win, MUST be lucky... 14 and rapfam say that its the race that counts, but then they come right back with the whole, "but they looked faster on Saturday, so they sould have won!""..
Thats why its called a race. Not a fastest qualifyer.. You want to see whos faster, run them one at a time with a radar gun. That is proves who is faster, Winning the trophy means you are the fastest in the RACE..

I would rather lose with a 100hp raptor than win with a 65hp raptor. Overall the 100 hp raptor will win more than it will ever lose. Maybe not always when it counts.... It is easier to figure out how to make the 100hp raptor hook up than it is to make the 65hp raptor try to hang with the 100hp rappy.
I won the 2002 mid west sand fest 670cc and up and i did not make as much HP as 3 or 4 others that i had to run. While i do have the throphy i realise i got lucky at there expense. Consistency pays off sometimes.

Yea, for sure, having too much power is better than not enough, but not always. Like I said, I feel that Scooby was the front runner the first time on Saturday and then when I saw the hill as smooth as it was Sunday, it was his race to lose.. Which unfortunatly he did. Why, too much power:IE the wheelie off the line and the burnt clutch. Scooby is VERY fast, but Franks Raptor was more consistent, throughout the weekend and races..
