race-a-holic Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 We just got back last night.If you like drag racing,then you'll like it.They kept the track smooth.It's sand.Better bring at least some type of haulers.lesser tires won't do you much good.They have plenty of competition for ya.There actually wasn't alot of quads,maybe 40,but they ain't play'n.Several had drag frames.The YFZ's on drag frames were(I hate to say it,LOL)awesome.I didn't have a chance against the really fast ones.The classes were only a 2-stroke and a 4-stroke class.Pretty much a run what ya brung race.There was maybe 20 in my class.I was probably ranked #2 or #3.That's from the slowest.Really,they had alot of very fast quads.Kinda felt like I took a knife to a gun fight.Still,I had a good time.To let you know how fast those 4-strokes were.At the end of all the racing they put the fastest 2-stroke against the fastest 4-stroke.The 4-stroke(drag frame YFZ) got to the finish line first.I couldn't believe it.t's definitely time to rethink my strategy for a faster banshee.The banshee is going on a diet.I know,I need to also,and need more power.You guys need to think about going next year.

race-a-holic Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Yeah,they can be .I don't care who you are,if you had seen how fast those YFZ's were you'd be a believer.Looked cool too.I think the name of the group was finishline racing.I think.Hope to be getting some pictures developed today.

Justintoxicated Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 (edited) I don't buy it...I mean yea 450 can be beefed up but I don't buy that they are beating ported banshees running the same fuel. Meaning alcahol vs alcahol gas vs gas... Must have been some slow banshees there.. Not saying it's not possible or that it did not happen, I mean sure a 30,000 450 will beat a 10,000 banshee...But I have yet to get smoked by a 450 (other than when I was running with fowled plugs) Edited October 17, 2005 by Justintoxicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
race-a-holic Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Please let me explain.The really fast YFZ's were using drag frames.I believe I heard they weighed between 250 and 300 lbs?Not sure what hp. they were putting out.Probably with overrides.Light bike+strong motor.I'm now a true believer that this theory works.I saw it with my own two eyes.Not saying a banshee can't beat them,it's just getting the right set-up.Can't seem to get the pictures small enough to post on here.Pictures have been posted on planet sand.
