Well I droped off my bike at Mad Racing today, hopefully its done by memorial weekend. Any fast YFZ's besides DJ's 470 going to be up there? What about the big bore rappy's and MR.HP DS's? Any of you guys goin? So who in all is going?????

Posted by: thunderalley400ex

I got there before mark got back so I dont know how they did. I know they took out the 800cc stroker though. I didnt get a chance to go this weekend to busy I think DJ's YFZ was a little faster then the 465ex but am not 100% sure. I have a cannondale sitting around here if you are intrested

Posted by: thunderalley400ex

Dang sorry to hear about Dj's misshap, hope he gets better quick. Well damn what YFZ's are going to be out there that I can test my 470 on

duneslider, you goin up memorial weekend?

Posted by: thunderalley400ex

Oh my bad OOC, cant forget you, so is our little race still on

Posted by: thunderalley400ex

250R4LIFE,

Yea a good part of the weekend if not all of it will be geting it dialed in. Hope we can get it real close so I can come back before the 4th and get it perfect.


duneslider,

I think we would of been a good race before the 470. I have a couple of bikes around here that I know exactly how much I was beating them before so Ill have a very good idea of how much I gained. Let me know for sure if what day your going on memorial weekend if you do head over there.

If not ill see both of you on the 4th weekend.

Peace

no question about it

aaawww 97red only 77hp I guess you will be back racing Mads daughter on the Kasea J/K. I know even on gas your bike is fast.

Hey guys dont leave me out !!!!!! I will be out Sunday morning with my buddy on his 400ex that runs pretty damn good.

Posted by: OutOfControl

Thunder yea we be racin.

Mad I think his is a 416 also W/carb, cam, piston, exhaust, rev box, head work.

Posted by: OutOfControl

Bring it Queenie, Just because you are royalty dosent mean we are going to cut you any slack.
We are heading out Sunday morning.

I don't think DJ will be there memorial day weekend. He broke his leg last weekend at the Arena cross on his dirtbike. Madracing & taftraptors bikes are very close. We ran them about 5-6 times, And those bikes are almost the same in performance. DJ's YFZ is no match for ANNIHILATER though. I got to try out some UL's on my YFZ this weekend, And they sure do help. I've got to think about getting some to use on the big weekends when I just drag race, If I want to be competitive with the other 450's. All it takes is money...

Posted by: 250R4LIFE

I'll be there on the 4th of July also.........I hope..

Sorry I won't be there. It's tempting, I would love to go over & see how your new Madracing motor runs & line up against you so I can see the difference. But it's to close to my Oregon trip. With work & all, I just don't have much more time to get ready for the trip which is only going to be a couple days after memorial weekend. My bike is all serviced & cleaned waiting to hit the Oregon dunes. Good luck though. I hope to make it over one day over the 4th of July weekend. You'll probably have it more dialed in by than anyways. Memorial Day might end up being a dial your bike in weekend anyways. Hopefully you get it figured out real quick though & can make some good runs this weekend.

Wow, Karyn, you don't seem that excited. Did we get ya hooked on the trails? BR>
Now, if I can keep all 4 wheels on the ground this time.....

Posted by: BlackandRedWarrior

Im thinkin about heading out there. I just might have to bust my 416 out as well



Posted by: ANNIHILATER

I might try to make it to pismo next weekend. How did taftraptor and madracing do ?? Did you go to pismo this weekend? I was planning on Sand mt Utah, but that may change. Who does DJs yfz run with, Is it faster than the yellow 465ex. I am scrambling to get a cannondale frame set up for ds motor asap . I need to go lighter if Im running DJ.

Posted by: ANNIHILATER

Sorry I couldnt make it this weekend, It is Mothers-Day and all, thanks for the report Chuck. Are you going next weekend? The lady and I have been talking about going to pismo. Maybe we could POSSIBLY come down for mem. day. But I am supposed to make it up to sand Mt. Nev. Anyone up for it????. And chuck, you know your my designated pilot so youll hopefully be able to rain some terror on those other bikes that the yfz is haveing probs with, I know your bike runs real fast as it is. I just took mine out to a paved road on 10% nitro and got here running very strong, I tried to speed shift once and felt like I was going to snap a crank, It was hooking tooo hard on the concrete.

I think this hog is ready to pumble. Chuck call me when you get a chance.

Thunder, i would like to see how Mark from Madracing has your bike running, so if i can i might come over to watch. It's to close to our Oregon trip and my bike is all cleaned up and ready and i am not willing to take any unforeseen chances that something might happen. I have plans to make it for the day on the 4th of July weekend so we will have to hook up and run them. I wished we could have had the chance to meet up before you had the mods done to compare them. It was sounding like it would of been a good race. I just am not ready to mod mine yet. I feel it's just fine the way it is. Later...

my friend that came in 3rd at 4 stroke wars in stock bore modified will be otu there with his yfz and we will have 2 other fast yfz.i will be on the banshee.we will be out on the 4th of july.

Posted by: DrDune

So I guess The Nationals with 1BAD for me as well, but you can't count me out for the 4th @ Pismo I will be there(and so will all the other quaders in the area). It seems that I wont get a chance to break in my Haulers till then.

Posted by: DrDune

Sand mountain is more like sand hill ............. but I hear that deep in the forbidden zone there is an actual sand mountain as high or higher than China wall at Glamis.

Fact or Fiction?

He has a few suprises for me, he said it is real difrent and he opened the head pipe and stepped it up near the core for some real top end power,hope it works well with the set up..But i can guarntee it has the biggest opening of any pipes from the head pipes to the core of the exhaust...
