I asked about the hold up on the full exhuast,
Aside from having to build quads for the top racers they said this:
"Shane Hitt, Harold Goodman, Tim Farr, Keith
Little, Wayne at PEP, Wes Miller, Curtis Sparks, the local G test crew, Joey Rocha, and myself have all tested the complete exhaust for the Raptor. We
got great feedback from everyone that has tried it. Every exhaust that comes from this shop is hand built to the highest standards and that can't be rushed. I realize that we are behind and should have had exhaust available already, but quality is more important than building something like crazy.
Soon they will be available and everyone that had patience will be rewarded."

About the ignition advance key:
"The ignition advance key is still a very good modification for the Raptor and it works well with the Sparks exhaust."

About any riders riding a pro level Raptor:
"I don't know of any big plans for us or anyone else to use the Raptor as a race quad next year."

they said to keep checking the site and they will continue developments.
