I'm sure you've all read the Times VelocityRaptor has posted. They are correct. The Machine is a marvel of headwork. This Machine was built my a man who builds NHRA drag bikes.
The headwork alone took 4 months to do on the Flowbench. The Head on this Raptor Blows 410 CFMS. The Cam is custom ground that took another 2 months. The Bore, Carbeuration, compression and Ignition is secret. This machine has taken a Year to complete. This machine is the fastest Raptor I've ever seen, it's sounds like a NASCAR. You see we have a spot here in NE that is called Genoa. It's a mix of Sandhills and Dirt. The type of machine we have to run against are this. 500 FTZ alcohol Banshee's, 420 alcohol Banshee's, TURBO Banshee's which are the Fastest Quads I have seen anywhere. We have DS's but obviously no fast ones. Trinity 686's which get beat pretty regular. A Raptor 720 which is fast. Now, it make take a little guy from the midwest who builds Drag bikes to win 4 stroke wars on a "Tuned" Raptor. Or it it may take a guy from PA. to build a "Tuned x's 2" Raptor to win 4 stroke wars. People, the times are real. DS guys you have great machine's. However, soon to be the second fastest. Just because it's not Trinity, Curtis Sparks, Knutz, PAMI or Ron Wood. Does not mean that it doesen't exsist. There are other people who can build machines in this Country. Just because they do not "Mass Produce" their work, doesen't mean they do not know what they are doing.

So, with that said. Flame on, I will respond accordingly.

Zombie- Jay should have paid extra and sprung for 2 day air.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0> Who is in Oregon?? FST??? Well kiss my nuts. lol Are you the pit crew, or first aid station? My new raptor is going to be called the X007. I do think you are right on money. The winner will come from outside the box.

Mark the guy who built the Machine, did the grind in his own shop. The same place your trying to get a CDI box from. I do believe it'll be an unknown winning the FSW. Unfortunately, I won't be there. I want to be.

14mins are you gonna be together for the Watermellon Patch nationals on the 13th (test & tune) & 14th (race) at Atoka?
I hope you guys stick around for the race this time, You all can fatten up the purse for me!!! LOL!!

I think this could be the year of the "shadow builders" at 4 stroke wars!! That would really make it interesting!



<< My new raptor is going to be called the X007. >>


I'm almost afraid to ask Where that came from??
