PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 One of my friends was telling me about someone from Iowa (I guess) who won at the sand drags in Glamis with a Polaris Predator he said that the guy had put about $40,000 into it. I guess he even showed him pictures. Now I don't know much about drag racing except for fun nor do I know hardly anything about Glamis but I would like to know if anybody knows if this is true? I'm pretty skeptical and would be shocked if someone spent that much on a Predator. Thanks guys if you have any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranshee Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 You could prolly put 40,000 $ into a xr 50 and beat everyone at the drags. Anythings possible with right amount of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted May 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 I guess I'm not questioning the money part of it so much it's more the choice of quad. I'm sure people have invested larger amounts of money for example the Outta Control Raptors. But why a Predator it would seem to be a grenade on wheels if you modded it out that much. You could put a Hyabusa engine in a quad for less money but why a Predator???? For 40 grand I bet there's nothing left from Polaris anyway.

Justintoxicated Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 (edited) I have no idea, but the fastest bike I have sceen out there was a banshee with some type of street bike engine in it...It was REALL nice, sounded like turbo engine and shit. Was putting all other crazy modded shees to shame...I have no idea what kinda engine was in it, but it sounded cool as shit. That or some of the bikes mixing alcahol...Is there ever really a king? I wish I could see all the fast bikes go at it at once, but usualy the most I see at one time is on a big weekend. I usualy watch them go up the hills rather than the drags, much more interesting Anything is possible with 40,000 I think It would be better to buy a buggy for that much though Edited May 16, 2004 by Justintoxicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragg-on Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 I put $50,000 into my banshee, wrote a check for $50,000 and put it in the gas tank. hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANDSTAR Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 I would like to see a predator even show up on Thanksgiving weekend. There are so many crazy Banshees out there is unbelieveable. People trailer these bikes out to the hill, run a few times, put them back in the trailer, head back to camp and rebuild them for the next day. I am sure that you can find 25 Banshees with at least $30-40 grand in them at any time during the weekend. They are scary fast. Some of the owners get pissed if you look to close at their motors. The don't want to give out any secrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InFlames Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 I dont know...I think if you switched out the polaris engine with a gsxr 1000 or better it would have a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
