race450 Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Im going to build a dacer racer banshee in the summer time while building a dragger. Well does anyone know the classification and where it is? Is there certain parts you have to have to enter. And when they are? And if anyone has built a desert racer or has one can you post a pick?

evil Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 ohh hell yeah we can do this !!! first, where do you live ? depending on where, you can sometimes find the specs and classifacations in a score rule book. in cali. m.d.r. series races are the ones to be in, less money to put out then a score series and the mdr people are cool as all hell. like i said though it depends on where you live. poker runs are a great way to get in some much needed practice being you race for a time, not a position. up in calico ghost town they have runs all the time. eventually when i get the time im going to start training again and do a few barstow to vegas races for the hell of it ! as far as parts, you can run a stocker if you wish but a long travel front end is the key to going faster. suspension is your best friend in the desert so thats where all the focus goes into. depending on if you inter a score race or a mdr race will determine what all you can run, i know i did a firecracker 250 and they didnt even require a tether kill switch, but get one anyway and use it. desert terrain can throw some nasty stuff at you unexpectingly, so be ready. your going to need a big gas tank and a few hommies to chase for you and a few to have at the pits to help out. nerf bars are good, but not required by some organizations, but still good to have going 6th pinned not knowing where the next bump might throw you. a good bend handle bar and a strong as hell stem helps in a roll over, you might go as far as gusseting the crap out of your frame, this helps alot in strength and reliability on the frame. full under frame protection is a must. suspension on quads is unlimited in most series but the motor is what will put you into a classification. consider that too, the big boys dont play there quads hall ass ! the 2 strokes have the advantage in the wide open straightaways but the 4 strokes have the jump on the slow technical stuff, so mastering the 2 stroke in that section takes practice. when do you plan on doing this ? and again, where do you live ? ill help you get that thing desert ready in no time, the bills on you i lost all my pics of the desert racers ive built and have worked on and prepped but im doing another one in a month or so, ill get pics of it if its not to late. heres a few pics of mine i had hosted. later thats all i have left for pics of over 40 desert banshees i hate computers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

race450 Posted January 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 hey evil, how is a 250r for drag racing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Hey how much are those lights and what are the best pipes and silencers for desert racing? Do you know anyone selling a motor and frame? If you do i will give them 800-900 for it. the lights ran me close to 400 bucks, there 100watts each and you need to have the stator rewound or get one from ricky stator. well worth it in me eyes ! as far as pipes, it depends on what all you have done to your motor. i run the sst's with port work and the bike halls ass, but there are other bikes out there that are 2 times faster. ive seen a guy running cpi inframes once with porting along the the drag side but he had stock suspension, he ended up dnf'ing. as far as the motor, not off hand, check the forsale section, i might have seen someone selling a motor in there but everyone i know has the one in the shee and a spare just in case, so they wont want to part with them. other option is e bay.

evil Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 hey evil, how is a 250r for drag racing? any quad you set up for drag racing is great. the only limit to your imagination is your wallet. you can make a lt 80 do 120. if you want a cheap fast as all hell drag atv. look into an old honda 250 three wheeler, ive seen some outright fast ones. any machine can be built to how ever you want it to and perform to do what ever you want. if its my opinion, id go with a banshee dragger or a 250r, banshee being first pick to drag. but i have witnessed some fast 250r's too.

evil Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 sorry off topic evil do you get a good deal from ricky stator cuz i am going to buy one from them monday and if you could hook me up that would be cool as hell i haven talked to them in quite some time now, things been busy on both our ends. you can try mentioning banshee hq and he might hook you up a little, hes real cool like that. he knocked a little bit off my stuff being i bought so much stuff from him and sent him alot of business, but i wouldnt feel comfortable trying to get a discount off of him. but call up and ask for ricky and tell him the hq sent you there and im sure hell take care of you, hes a great guy and will stop what hes doing to answer any questions you have at the time. let me know how it works out. later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

race450 Posted January 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Crap i meant how is a 250r in desert racing and would a four-stroke be better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Crap i meant how is a 250r in desert racing and would a four-stroke be better? the 250r in the desert is a top compitor out there, depending on how you ride and your skill level will determine between a 2 stroke and a 4. 4 is easier, 2 is faster. 4 is heavier, 2 is lighter. and dont forget the tec. stuff. easier on a 4 but funner on a 2 !
