I raced my tricked out Sport 400 against a couple of raptors in arenacross and they finished dead last.They worked great in flat straights and flat corners but one of them got completely destroyed when the guy tried to take an average sized double,the other guy tried a couple jumps and almost tossed himself off so he just rolled the jumps the rest of the day.
Maybe they would be o.k. if you spent a few thou$and bucks on them but never very competitive from what I have seen.

Yeah, the "trick" to that Sport is getting it to run! The best trick I ever did with mine was making it disappear.
