SlowerThanYou Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 While most didn't pay much attention or tried to make fun of the 1/4 mile secret weapon. It doesn't take much for modifications to go fast or win races. IMO, too many people pay attention to the wrong things when racing. I couldn't be more proud of my son for winning today. He's one of the best racer's out there on a drag quad or a drag car. He used his .003 light in the semis & .001 light on a .400 pro light. Plus, using his racing savvy to walk thru the competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowerThanYou Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Where are the pics old man? LOL! The track took winner's photo's. Sometimes they post them, most times they don't. They always do a quick write-up on 1st & 2nd place. I will post up information as we get it. Just for information, my son has always done well in points with our full race quad. His best finish was 3rd & that was the year I grounded him from the quad for two races. We are hoping to win a Championship with the secret weapon this year.

SlowerThanYou Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 So how did you do then? This is a quad site, people get all bent out of shape when I start talking about racing other than quads. My focus is my sons, he's taking over where dad has already been. I haven't given up & one of the things left on my bucket list. Is to have both of us win in our classes on the same day. My last win was Labor Day weekend last year. I have plenty of wins left in my lifetime, but not at the cost of me helping my sons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasi S. Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 You told in other post that not much done to this Banshee. Can you say something about the motor? I can see filters, an aftermarket head and pipes. + tires/wheels and front struts. Do you know what kind of 1/8 time this can do? I´m asking so I can compare it to my own 350 stock frame pump gas Banshee. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowerThanYou Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 So you're saying you got beat in the car huh? Yep, so what? I can spell it out for you if you wish. You told in other post that not much done to this Banshee. Can you say something about the motor? I can see filters, an aftermarket head and pipes. + tires/wheels and front struts. Do you know what kind of 1/8 time this can do? I´m asking so I can compare it to my own 350 stock frame pump gas Banshee. Thanks! The motor is a stock rebuild, no porting, welded/trued stock crank, stock trans, stock gearing, stock carbs & struts front/back. It's as you see, nothing but bolt on items. My son has the slips in his truck & he's at work. I will try to remember find the 1/8 mile times. They are on the slips, but we don't pay attention to them. good work to you and your son. Being fast is nice but being consistent usually wins more. Congrats! Thanks guys! Yes, consistency is a big factor with our slow or fast Banshee.
