Was that raptor modified because it said it had 55hp and i thought a stock raptor only had like 38 or something around there.And i have another question.If the raptor has the same hp as the banshee,heavier,and a 4 stroke how can it be faster?Just wondering.

the answer to this question is torque minus less wheel spin is whaty makes the raptor fastor than a banshee. and no the raptor isnt heavier than a banshee. stock banshee wet is 425lbs. raptor is 405. i weighed them both up just to make sure this was correct. have them both in my garage.

isnt there Euro HP versus SAE HP, also I wonder how the stocker faired or if it was just taking a few laps, It was still way too clean to have been running the race.

The raptor on the track was definetley not racing
but if it had it wouldnt have done very well anyway considering its opposition. YOu may be interested to know that number 11. Justin Reid
From northern ireand as racing a yz426 in a laeger banshee frame which was the first in europe.Also i would be very interested to see it compared to some of the american quads.
