sredish Posted November 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 I was looking on the expanded entry list and it looks like the class of choice is the Sportman - ATV class. There were 5 teams in this class this year and it is the class that Mike Penland raced in with his brother I think it was. The quads were 2 Honda 450r's, 1 Kawasaki (doesn't give model), a Bomber 650, and a 400ex. Penland and them guys were on the Kawaski, surprisingly hehe, and scored a big DNF. That's what they get for riding a Kawi. I also wanted to add that all the quad and bike teams had only 3 riders..... so think on that for a few. The times in this class were from 26:43:06 to 32:12:12 with an average speed of 37.9 to 31.4 mph. The results show 6 teams in this class, with Penland and 6th teams not finishing, they must have drawn out of the race. The Pro ATV class times were from 19:52:23 to 33:03:16 with avg. speeds from 30.6 to 51mph. 51mph is smoking, I mean as fast as most of the trucks and buggies; that was on a Bomber 650. Eichner's team came in 2nd with a time of 20:01:16 and an avg. speed of 50mph on a Honda 450r. I'm working on getting a Rules & Regs book also. Entry fee is $950 with an add'l fee of $50 for a Score-Intl membership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be a fuckin kick ass time just to run the race... finish or not. Of course it would completely own if we topped some people but... I think it would be a flat out badass experience.

sredish Posted November 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 That fee is per team, it's actually a fee for the machine your entering. Finish or not, the experience would be like no other. Dakar Rally might not work for me, don't think I could be gone that long, but that is a pretty insane event on it's own. I don't think CPIs are the pipe of choice. I've been thinking about that and I believe T5s would probably be the best choice, or some SSTs. I'd really like to try my machine out with some T5s in the dunes. I bet it'd be a strong muthafucka in the desert with some T5s. Is Ben running RZ cylinders tho, I thought I read that he was. Powervalves are the shit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sredish Posted November 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 The Banshee is a 7 time baja winner. Dean Sundahl made the banshee famous in the baja. CPIs are more top end than the T5s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
