Well I am sure you will have a pick when you get there. If not, keep an eye out for our group, we should be there with at least 7 trailers.

That DS720 is a Mr Horsepower DS 730 - The first day we were swapping wins then the next day(Saturday I changed my front sprocket and I went downhill after that. So I popped back on the 13 again and kicked arse. Each ride my bike was getting faster. My breakin is going sweet now. My first day I raced Madracings 727 and he got me about 3 bike lengths but then he left. I wanted to hook up again on Saturday but didnt see him.

I will be there on the 4th of July as well. Lets all hook up at the strip.

Looks like the fast bikes will be at Sand Mt., N.V.

I will be out there june 4th through the 6th.

any picutres or videos?

Posted by: thunderalley400ex

Yea the only YFZ that got me was Lyle's 470, he got me once but I got him 5 out of the 6 times we raced. My YFZ ran like a raped ape and there is still more left to get out of it from tuning. Also beat that 720 DS with the drag pipe, and pretty much all the 690's and 727's but there was a couple that got me. Wasnt to far off mad's 727 either, cant wait to get this thing dialed in

LOL. Well if you only got beat one time by a YFZ450, It was when I was on it. The bikes seemed pretty even. I wish Lyle had some better tires on that day, But he was just running those v - paddle dune sliders. I guess he was running those tires for regular duning. He wasn't doing to much drag racing. He was to busy working on everyone's drag bike.


Yea it looked like he was trying to get the Ti KFX to run right most of the time. Did they ever get that thing to run right?

Posted by: thunderalley400ex

Haha, well I should have my zip-ty here any day now and a richer needle. Dont worry we'll have it dialed in perfect by the 4th of July I think you will be spending a little $$$ here soon

Posted by: QuadKaryn

Oh dang... he had to mention the moving trailer.. hahah! If the truck hadn't been so close (inches away from the side), the whole issue could have been avoided...maybe next time I mention to them there is an issue going on, they'll pay attention to me.. haha! The theme of the weekend was "ahhh I'll deal with it later". Guess George is going to try and pound out the dent tomorrow...here's hopin it pops out!

The last weekend in May. I sould be there with a good size group.

Posted by: OutOfControl

Yeh but the lil boys gotta play some where.

Posted by: OutOfControl

Damn Dude, you got pops out there tearin it up at 77 ? Wish my old man was still around to do that.

Posted by: OutOfControl

Ok RO, but you gotta be lookin for me too. Cant miss my POS , Its white and black cherry w/big a$$ chrome inframes, you cant miss the pipes they arent CPIs. I also have a 6pac rack on the back. I should be out there with a buddy on a red 400ex with a crazy looking head on it. Look for the head you cant miss it.

Posted by: OutOfControl

Sorry, I just got a digital camera the other day and havent figured it out yet.

Posted by: OutOfControl

Now Queenie, you sure Dabeech aint gonna get mad, You rollin with the slow folks and all.

Posted by: OutOfControl

Queenie, I cant beleive you didnt go. But I guess not much use for the lil woman
when the whole "Beech Man" fan club is there. J/K

Look me up when you are out there, we can talk smack about Debeech. Kidding again. Hes my bud. I just have to find a way to slow him down.

The wind is supposed to be blowin through saturday, So it shouldnt be too bad. But I guess we will just have to wait and see

Oh Queenie, I found a way to slow him down, But I promised I wouldnt ever tell anyone.

Posted by: OutOfControl

Sorry I missed everyone out there. Sunday wasnt a good day for me. I have a few mechanical problems that made me cut the day short. I got only a couple runs at the flats in the morning, and my bike wouldnt shift under power.

See Ya Next Time

I don't know, If they did it was after I left the drag strip. I only raced you a couple of times. I thought you knew it was me. There was some other guy on the Sparks 470 most of the day. That's probably who you raced mostly. But your bike did run damn good & I don't think your bike was dialed in like it could be. You better get that thing dialed in, Because I want to race you a few times on my my bike to get a good idea of how much faster your 470 is than my bike. Before I go spending money on the kit. I hope you can make me spend some money.....img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Posted by: madracing

i got the bike tore down today. sleeve is egged shaped and 1/3 of a clutch plate is missing (probably the little pieces in the crank case) well the metal went through the oil passages and destroy the cam, head and valve body. now for the kasea 90, riped the rear motor mounts right out of the cross brace and also twisted the front drive line in my truck. looks like i will be charging double this week at my shop (HA HA)

Posted by: madracing

Posted by: madracing

Posted by: BlackandRedWarrior

I'll be there Memorial Weekend. Not sure where the camping spot is. There may or may not be a Raider flag being flown...I think it's being held hostage, or the ransom may have been paid. Pretty good sized group I think.

[ed.]
Fildo, just noticed you are from Clovis. Do you ride much locally? Usually I ride either Miami Trails, Hollister or Pismo. Always trying to find more local people to ride with.

Posted by: BlackandRedWarrior

Yeah the wind was horrid out there. Even had a trailer decide to move by itself. Luckily or unluckily a nice Ford truck was there to stop it. Out in the dunes it was really nice though.

Anyone know what the final count of stolen quads that the CHP recovered? When I went through Friday about 1pm or so the guy said about 1/2 dozen.

Im working on trying to still make it out to Fallon, but if all fails then Pismo is where I'll be.

Good luck at slowing him down...

Posted by: dancingqueen

I will be in a 2002 pewter GMC 2500hd w/ wanderer 26ft toy hauler. If you want check out my pics you will see my rig......"Hope to see you all there!

Yeah OOC. My Dad has been riding for as long as i can remember. He use to race "scramble'" races, he raced BSA & Triumphs back then. He has super 8 silent videos of him racing. He also use to ride Harleys and go on "Poker Runs" when he was younger. About 10 years ago he use to ride a 88 Banshee and back then use to have fun with the "Young Guns" but, now he likes to cruise around the dunes watching me and his grandson racing!

I was there this wkend and the wind was horrible.....Monday was the nicest day of them all which sucked since I had to leave. I talked to a guy who was there and he asked the CHP how many bike were recovered and he told me there was 19 stolen quads recovered as of Friday evening....THAT"S AWESOME I just hope the original owners get them back soon if they were registered. I was shi!!ing bricks because I thought they were checking red stickers but, all they wanted to see was the registrations and they didn't even bother about the red sticker issue. I hope everyone had a good time!!

No, but i raced him a few times. he beat me most of the time.

Posted by: K2Snow

I'll be out there Friday and Saturday. I ride Pismo every single weekend, so not looking forward to the huge rush and swarms of people! I'll be out there with a couple of Raptors. Look for the guy doing highchair wheelies on an EX.

Posted by: K2Snow

Ah, Pismo was a mess on Saturday. Saw more quads rolling in one day than I ever have combined in a year. Also witnessed a guy on a Warrior land ON TOP of a 250R. I helped seperate the quads and made sure the guys were ok. The guy that got landed on was limping for awhile but ended up being alright.

Posted by: Brodie70

I'll ry to be there, it should be a blast.......... Got some friends going to glamis for Mem day. They are trying to get my to fry my ass off too. But I think I may hang at Pismo.....

Posted by: MrZeeedler

I will be there with another buddy. 2 rigs, one white chevy truck with a 20ft carson fun runner, and a red full size 4wd drive can with a 20ft carson fun runner. 2 preds, 1 vforce 700, sportsman600(lol), and the other guys family and 2 kids got whatever else.

Posted by: MrZeeedler

Hey screaminjlew my dad used to race out of visalia during that time. He still has his BSA Goldstar. You ought to ask your old man if they knew eachother. His name is James St. Clair. They might have ran in the same circles. I know my dad talks about racing all over the valley.

Let me know.


Posted by: Jdogs66

I was at Pismo yesterday and it was allready getting packed. Also before you go Make sure your bike is registered. The CHP has a road block right on the beach and they are checking your registration. If you have an enclosed trailer their making you open her up. Wich I think is an illegal search! So Have fun Guy's

Posted by: slowbanshee00

The crf450 ruled but not the green kawi. I didn't see any of the top 4 banshees lose to it he wouldn't even line up with them. Unless u saw something I didn't?

Posted by: mstrquad

if the problem with your trailer was taken care of when you found them ie putting up plywood around your trailer it wood not have happen. ps my truck was where it was trying to stop the wind from digging the sand from your trailer

Posted by: 1BADRAPTOR

looking forward to running all you guys on the 4th, first real trip out with the bikie dialed in like i like .I hope..


want to see where i stand against the 727 with my little o 686..this should be fun...Or even thunders 470 that is smokin fast i hear...

Posted by: 1BADRAPTOR

Oh yea and it pulled hard from top to bottom, ill have to put it up againt some of these other bikes wih FCR's to see where i stand....

I aint going to open my mouth too much but ill be in the race on the 4th, it aint the average joe bike anymore..

Posted by: FILDO

Who is going? I'll be there the whole weekend. If you like to party and stay up late, let me know. My friends and I are looking for some people to kick it with. We'd also like to go on a group ride and tear up the dunes during the day and go to Comp at night. Phil
