While looking for new mods for the Raptor. I stopped at CT's page and read that the Raptor won this race. Not only did it come in first place, but finished by 21 minutes over the competition.

Look out, the Raptor is coming along!

From what I just learned, the DS-650 ended up with a DNF, due to problems with the rear-end.

Rocks and rear end due not mix will. You keep on hitting rocks at a high rate of speed and any rear end will break. Congratulations to the Raptor team for a job will done.

Check out my website. I've got a great picture of him in a "ready for take-off" stance on the opening page.

Honda has been and always will be a force, if not the dominate then right up there with it.

Where were the other DS's, I guess sometimes Bombardier forgets to send $$$$$ and locate some hired guns.

Good ol' fashioned everyday Joe kind of racing, like the kind I read about in Roadracing World, yes they publish all the big named races, Shootouts, ect ect ect, but they devote a large section to local events by posting the results from all over nation at various tracks(one look at those and you will see why
the R1 and R6 are so well loved).

Too bad the ATV and Dirt Bike worlds can't get somthing like that, says more about a machine in a minute than all the Shootouts and Big Named races could in a hour.

Roadracing World is a reputed and respected Mag.
