Ok Help me understand this.

This weekend me and my buds did sum dragg racing.

We raced:

300ex vs 350 Warrior------Warrior Won
300ex vs piped blaster-------Blaster Destoryed It
300ex vs geared 300ex------Geared 300 won
z400 vs warrior-------z400 of course no contest
z400 vs piped blaster--------Blaster put up more fight than warrior
z400 vs banshee-------z400 but it was close.
Warrior vs piped Blaster-------- Blaster


Why did my modded warrior get beat by the piped blaster thats 150cc's????

Why did the 300ex put up so much fight with the warrior?????

Why did the 200cc blaster blow both 300ex's away???

why did the banshee lose 2 tha z????

just looking for sum opinions

we ran these at least 3 times winners of the race won at least twice

Thanks

Ryan

To many factors can come into play when drag racing to put much weight when comparing bikes. The weight, skill level, and consistancy of the riders come to mind. I can also think the track conditions and tires would play a roll.

2 strokes make more power with less displacement. Thats why they are so popular along with the fact they have a lot less parts.

There is no way a banshee will lose to a z 400 period. Unless the driver was junk.

Everything but the Z400 beating the Banshee makes sense to me... Blasters are quick when piped.

Was the Z400 and Banshee both stock??? Seems strange that the z400 won.

both are stock raced them 5 times with 3 different riders on each z won everytime. ill measue the strip we used its over 300 feet probably close to 400 z won every time with close to same wieght drivers(heavier person on the z) it still won. then on a different track the z still won with different drivers.

Later

Stock for stock the Z will smoke the banshee until 4th gear. Then its all banshee. If this race happened on dirt then traction was the problem for the banshee. I raced my local banshee and on dirt I can destroy him on pavement we are much much closer!

i agree with wyo duner everying makes sense except for the banshee race. Piped blasters are fast and i'm not surprised it put up a good fight agaist the Z400 and blew away the 300. And the blaster beating the warrior the blaster is a lot lighter and its two stroke power compared to four stroke power.

If the driver of the banshee can keep his shifts withen the powerband the Z400 has no hope from start to finish. The banshee will destroy, humiliate and kill a Z400. End of story.

U guys must have never rode a z b 4. it was on dirt/grass. I mean come on stock banshee's power down right suck. until pipes and a filter they arnt much. both are stock and banshee did gain back some of what was lost when it got 2 six gear but that was it.

I think the banshee needs traction and a long stretch before it becomes fast, atleast when its stock. After you pipe it I know it becomes a while different animal and will probably smoke the Z. Its all about rider most of the time though, maybe those guys never knew how to drive the shee properly, I don't know. The shee I raced was a new rider so maybe he didn't know the power yet. The Z is easier to ride and learn than the shee that much I do know.
