Setup is more important than horsepower in 100 yards. That's why the YFZ's are closer to the Raptor's there. Their low weight and tight transmission gearing make them accellerate very quickly. Double the distance and the Raptor's pull away.

I personally love flat drags. But only if they're 150+ yards.

 

Thank's for the invite. But that's WAY too far for me to go just to get beat down by all you serious drag racers.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I have been watching the threads like this for weeks . What ... What in the hell is the deal ?


Craycraft does a good job ... Kenz does a good job too ..

As a matter of fact I can do a good raptor engine aswell . There are a bunch of tuners that can .


There are many good parts out there a person can buy - the big difference is in the head .

The Raptor head is a screwed up mess - - the guys building the fast ones know this and have figured out
how to make it close to correct .

Kenz and Craycraft are doing a good job ... I am sure the owners of these shops shake their heards when they read all this .

Thank goodness I don't spend a lot of time gathering raptor drag business .. I don't think I could take the abuse .

Relax , it's just a hobby ,

100 yard drags prove more then you'd think they would. It proves the performance of the motor as well as the knowledge of the rider. If you are doing bracket it shows the consistancy of the rider and the bike.

Horsepower still plays a big role in 100 yard drags. Not so much as up a hill, but it is a clear cut win on a track. Nobody can take away a win from somebody if they have the slip in their hand that says they won.

 

This is why the thread was started....

 

What "misinformation" have I spread? As far as I'm concerned, that's no different than calling me a liar. I told you Klowns once, there will be a day of reckoning for these personal attacks.

Below are my facts, feel free to correct any that you don't think are accurate:

- Jarhead beat Speed on Howard Stern's stock bore at Glamis
- Jarhead beat MichaelAZ 4-for-4 at Glamis
- Jarhead beat the HPR 800 at Glamis
- Kenz used Nitropropane/Koolinol on the high HP Raptor dyno charts
- The Kenz Raptors that ran at the Cinders used Nitropropane/Koolinol
- Kenz has only found Raptor power in the last 2 years because he copied someone else's work
- The orange Raptor beat all the Kenz quads it raced at Pismo
- The orange Raptor was running a Craycraft cam, Dabeech porting, and Barker's 4mm stroker rod
- For years, the Klowns have bashed on Craycraft
- For years, the Klowns have bashed on anyone that tries to take credit for a win against them
- The Klowns have asked the folks that beat them not to post on the internet. One Klown even offered to pay a guy $100 if he wouldn't post
anything on the internet about beating him [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]
- Now that the Craycraft "gang" has made humiliating the Klowns a priority, there is nowhere for you to hide [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

Rick, you haven't been reading long enough. This has been going on for a few years. I believe I may have narrowed it down to Internet advertising/marketing - just one step away from putting a 4 sale item on the forum. It certainly isn't about racing.

Where I'm from, we call that a "self-licking ice-cream cone". If you don't race anyone fast and/or throw a Kenz sticker on the fast ones, you get all the trophies. FSW is a joke, you should be ashamed for even mentioning it on this site.

 

Who the hell are you and why do you post your "holier than thou" thoughts in my thread? Do you have a fast Raptor? Are you a Craycraft, Kenz, MadRacing, Robertson, LRD, FST, Sparks, Trinity, or other know builder's customer? Do you think you are going to settle a multi-year feud by chastising a bunch of grown men? Step aside pontificator, some of us are trying to arrange a Raptor showdown [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]
