Kokl..maybe you are riding with less experienced riders. Exactly what mods are on your Banshee. It must not be to modded if stock Raptors (37 hp) and FX400's (33 hp) are hanging with you.

The PIPED raptors and PIPED DS650s were not SMOKED by the 440EX, it was fairly close, but in my case, more often that not, I was a length behind the 440EX. Stock DS650s and Raptors would be even further behind. FYI, the 440ex had the IMS kit, not all 440 kits are the same. My 2000 DS had a pipe, K&N filter, flatside carb, taller gearing, and better rear tires. JIGA, those are some nice pics on your website! What kind of digital camera do you have? Do you have a digital camcorder to video those drag races and jumps?

No, I wasn't running the turbo! There is a pic of my quad and me racing on the site: http://www.angelfire.com/extreme/jig...ocky_Ridge.htm

Thanks Bash and Scooby,

The camera is a Kodak Digital, bought it off a friend here at work for fairly cheap price, its not the *best* out there but it gets the job done. I really really want a digital camcorder to film and make some mpegs!

Ok, heres the low down on the drags. When me and Scooby race is always different every month, heh, like last month we both were running fairly close but he would take most the wins, the time before I was taking all the wins and the time before that he would take them, lol. I can tell you *I am not the best drag racer* and thats a fact! hehe.
Kokl, on a good drag I was only about 1 lenght behind Scooby, it really depended on how both riders got a start.

I sometimes will miss a gear or just fubar the race the up somehow for me but its fun.

The 440ex is *highly modified*. Its not like any other 440, it has tons of work dumped into the motor.

JIGA, those pictures were the best I've seen on the web, so far. Why? Because they were nice and BIG!! Not like the small, blurry pictures that are usually out there.

Thanks WarMachine,

The only downside to the huge pictures is the loading time. I am going to start making them about 10% smaller but they will still be a good size pic.

Very good pictures. Just a suggestion, try cropping them with more of the subject and not so much sky and trees. Keep up the good work.
