they have all been beat to death in these who will win in a drag questions.well what about against a big wheel in good shape with most of the stickers. some stickers may be removed to help lighten the bike this maybe cheating i dont know. also on a slight down hill grade for a better holeshot i wouldnt wont the big wheel to wheelie .also with your laces tied in double knots?

Are velcro shoes allowed? If so I think the big wheel would have the edge even with all of the stickers.

I usually grease up the axles though, that might be cheating I'm not sure.

Everyone knows the big wheel takes it. I will put money anyday on a 6y/o ritilin child with chicken stick legs against a stroker Banshee. Just can't beat that front wheel drive for a good launch. I think to make things just a bit more fair, The big wheel should have a lift kit to reduce aerodynamics though.

I'll take the big wheel as long as it doesn't have any flat spots on the wheels - I hate it when they *kachunk, kachunck, kachunk* down the sidewalk.

EDIT - Wait!! You said the Green Machine also - everyone knows the Green Machine was much faster and more high tech than the Big Wheel. I'll take the Green Machine over any YFZ, Rappy or screamin Banshee. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

redex ,we might nead to put the green machine in the unlimited class .those fancy drive sticks on the green machine might intimidate a rookie on a big wheel.

I wouldn't worry about the Big Wheel riders - they're a pretty rough and tumble group - it's the YFZ guys that might be a little intimidated.... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

When you get up in the Big Bore Stroker Class of big wheels, OFC racing has found that Vulcanizing Bicycle rubber to the front tire helps with the holshot [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] your gonna be hard pressed to smoke a Bigwheel on a 10% grade [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] They really get cookin
