well i called around here in alabama and found a new track to run at that is actually worth my while.it is 109.7 miles from my driveway and took me an hour and 45 minutes to get there.
got there at about 5:15 and was the first quad there.i unloaded opened up two chairs for me and my wife and just kept my eye on the gate for more quads.slowly but surely thay started to roll in 1 by 1 .we wound up with 1 raptor(me)
3 250r's
2 banshees(1 with a 13 yead old racing on it)
1 500 zilla
1 z 400 with green plastic(thing was all tricked out)
1 warrior
2 new predators
1 blaster with a girl racing on it(gotta give props to the girl,she could hold her own on that blaster)
1 ds650
time for hotlaps.since i was the new guy i didn'y know what to expect and how clean the other racers would race so i was the last on the track for hotlaps.everything went well,picking them off 1by1, 2by2 and wound up front in 2 laps.couldn't get out of fourth gear though,track was just a big circle with very little straight away.
heat race time.they don't draw a number for quads to start so they lined us 6 wide across the track and i started in the very back,row three all by myself.i fought my way up to second and was going to pass the leader(z400)on the high side and hit a rut that caught the frame of my quad unger the belly.i lost all my momentum and fell back to third and finished that way.
main time.they lined us up 6 across again with the z400 1st,250r 2nd, and me 3rd in line.they drop the flag and the z gets the hole shot followed by the 250r and then me.on lap 2 the z couldn't hold his line in turn 2 so me and the 250r went under him.on lap 4 the 250r drifted up high and i went under him and went on to win.heres a pic of the trophy,hope you enjoy.
quad and trophy

 

Thats what I talkin' about!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Who said Raptors are tippy???[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] First time at a new track and you win, sounds like a pretty good run to me. Congrats!!!

 

thanks ward,waiting on you to get that trans in and come over to run with me.

 

I am working on it right now. I am ready to get out there and see what I can do too. It sure sounds like a blast!

 

No V- FORCES there? Things will change when the big boys come out.

 

i also drag raced by a field by my house. i beat 2 piped and filterd blasters in a 100yd drag race by like 3-4bike lengths with my STOCK warrior.

 

It looked like rain at the track I raced at on Saturday. Very few people showed up but the track came in due to the rain the night before and made for GREAT racing. I ran Open AM short track and was the only one in my class. They put me in with the Open Pro-class and I finished third. My banshee still has a major front end pushing problem caused by the bent frame. It is a 1/5 mile track and the track I will be at this saturday is a LOT bigger. They say the 1/5 mile track will fit inside the infield of the other track.

 

Yes, I am sure a V-force would have dominated because you own one.
Good story Whitebread....congrats.

 

I think V-Forces are a bit too big. I want to try one out so I can formulate an accurate opinion though.

 

thanks guys,i'll hane another story next sunday about saturday night.
