i was wandering if yall could give me some kind of guess on which would win. my raptor with all my stuff on it, against a modified banshee, with paul turner pipes, theres alot more but i just don't want to list it, we would be racing in sand without paddles, im just curious which one you think would win.

 

if the banshee has just a couple of more go fast goodies(diff. valves ect.) i'm betting on the banshee. but sand is a strange animal all it's own and the way a banshee loves to spin, ya never know. but if he's experienced in sand don't bet him any $.

 

I usually run between 5.4 and 5.6. With stock sprocket. I use pro wedge II's on 8 inch rim.
My raptor is also very low in the front and a little lower in rear than stock.
Tried 12 and 14 tooth sprockets but ran the same. the 12 spun too much. i stuck with the 13 tooth since that is what comes stock and i didnt want to put too much strain on the motor. I also have cut fenders, but never raced at the track with them yet.

Does it make a difference if there 8,9,10 inch rims?

 

Sand Tires Unlimited told me that for performance, go with 10" rim diameter.

What kind of tires would u guys get for 300ft drags? New Maxxis Roosters look sweet, Paddle Masters look bad and those new Kenda Geckos? i think there called they look awesome too.

 

I was thinking that some new Maxxis Razrs should work fine but i dunno...
If i got Paddles i think i would have to worry about keeping the front down off the start. Or wouldnt I hmmmmm.

 

At the track i ran at my best was a 5.00. I use pro wedge 2's. They have some new tires, though that are supposed to be better for dirt though. Think they are maxis sno tires .

I'm just learning about sand dragging is the 660feet the same as a 1/8 mile????
Do you guys have those times you can run then in???

 

Pat- 660 is 1/8 mile. With a 2.2 60 foot time i can break 8.5 at around 78mph. Once i get my 60 foot times to 1.9 i will be over 80mph. The 330 foot times are around 5.4
