15/36 on the gas 370 and running 75mph
16/36 on the alk bike and running 81

They are pretty good mph, but its all about how quick you get there bro. Those are all 4th gear passes. We generally dont run out through 5th, it gets a little hairy trying to stop.

The psi has been touched by more then 1 builder, k&t woke it up the most though.

Are you going to pismo?

come on...there was more there then just 90 horse banshee's beating you...

Posted by: DaBeechMan

exactly, i know of at least 10 hondas down there that would have put a whoopin to any raptor out there. None of them were over 90 horses, except for 2

that is what i meant, 250r drag honda's. LOL certainly wouldnt be a honda thumper, unless sparks brought out their 465 or their 505

Posted by: DaBeechMan

hey now. come on, what friend would i be if i lied right?

Furthermore, i never said you were slow, i just havent said you were fast. Big big difference...lol jk craig

Posted by: DaBeechMan

yes sir, you are going faster.

were you there this weekend,i raced a fast atc and got beat,but when he looked behind me i was right on his a$$,i dont think i was that fast....I was with that fast ds..

Posted by: raptor03

well im running 13/40

Posted by: raptor03

That was me,couldent make it this weekend. how did it go?

yea what does your banshee look like,wish i could have met you...



Posted by: raptor03

Yea i was able to beat one but they are running fcrs and crazy gas,i am thinking about the fcr but am getting everything else dialed in.

I was running sand geckos and a stock swingarm,the only jump they would get would be on the takeoff.

i am extending the swingarm and getting new paddles,it was the 2nd time it was out since we built it and
it ran great.

I have the small cam and piston but i can dial her in to run with the bigger bores and pistons ...I am aiming for those sparks bikes,those are the only guys who beat me besides the 80-90 hp banshees..

Hondas....I doubt it,maybe a 250r hooked up,or an alky465 honda.....

Hey Raptor03, that wasnt you looking for the tire pump was it?

Sonny if you come out this weekend , you going to bring the gun? I would like to see if I have picked it up at all. (ya know me being a slow banshee)

Posted by: OutOfControl

Yea raptor03, that was me on the teal & white shee that told you about the air transfer hose. I am sure we will meet up again one day, then you can show me how that craycraft stands up to my slow lil shee. It aint fast in the eyes of some, (cough,dabeech,cough) but I am still havin fun.

Posted by: OutOfControl

So true Sonny, But I think I am getting faster. The problem is so is everyone else.

Was wondering what gearing are you pismo drag guys running also what kind o MPH

Posted by: 344PV

Thank's That's big MPH Do you have override on both bikes. Who did your PSI. (Kick some ass on the 4th if your going.)

Posted by: 344PV

No i am not going but on Planet S people are talking about it sounds like a good time. I am just getting back into riding after a 8 year lay off. I would get my ass waxed on
the flats. my trike is set up for dunning but does pretty good on the hills (Glamis) against most.

Posted by: 344PV

No That wasnt me I have only been to pismo once which was last month there was nothing all that fast except some simi drag banshee's, which could only beat me by a few bikes.
I need to change tires and gearing to run better on the flat stuff which i didnt have with me. thats why i was wondering what gearing people were running on the flats.

Posted by: 344PV

There was a pretty fast sparks 690 raptor there when i was there. have you had a chance to run you craycraft 686 against one.

What about the Honda's
