Rob Sanders Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 (edited) Sooooooo.... Was it just me or did anyone else see 65hp+ yellow raptors that have never been beat by a 450 quad getting WORKED at Banshee hill by a YFZ 450 and an LTR450?????

ssfull Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 (edited) Well......I did race a black YFZ who would always jump before anyone was even ready to launch ( and no, I do not mean he just got the holeshot fairly). I bet that made him feel real proud to win every race by launching before everyone. I was on a black raptor and I could maintain with the guy . Would have been a good race if he would wait till I was ready. .. I mean, as soon as I just looked at him to see if he wanted to race , he would just take off..... That guy would have red lighted every time with a tree. I did not see the yellow raptors getting spanked, I must have been out there at a different time. He did this to everyone, not just me...... I heard several people calling that guy a few nice names. Oh well, it was just for fun. Edited October 7, 2007 by ssfull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure that the black YFZ you are refering to would have won either way, I watched them all day and never saw them doing that. You also have to think, without a tree, they do not know when you will launch so if they think you are going to hit it they want to also. For someone to be unfairly starting would be to roll in and never come to a stop. how did the ltr do against the yamaha and honda 450 I don't think the competition was against manufacturers, but more to show what some 450 based quad (from all makes) could do against a 727 and the 450's came out fighting.

I guess maybe I am used to lining up and waiting for all my friends to line up. We all look at each other first and rev about three times before launching. I am not used to someone just pulling up , tapping the front brakes and shootin'. And don't get me wrong , the YFZ was fast as H *** , very nice bike. I just wished I could have seen how my bike did compared to his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Sanders Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share Posted October 7, 2007 how did the ltr do against the yamaha and honda 450 With equal weight rider the LTR and the YFZ were close...YFZ had a little more on the big end though. I didnt see a Honda out there that woulda came close to either the LTR or YFZ(both bikes are built and there wasnt many people out there) Well......I did race a black YFZ who would always jump before anyone was even ready to launch ( and no, I do not mean he just got the holeshot fairly). I bet that made him feel real proud to win every race by launching before everyone. I was on a black raptor and I could maintain with the guy .

Yeah I think so , because I did not see any yellow raptors racing when we were there. It was a fun day though until the WIND picked up to 1000 MPH. Then it became a little rough to run the ridges without getting blasted Edited October 7, 2007 by ssfull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand_YFZ Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 SSFULL,that was me racing you on Danny's YFZ Stockbore.The way WE race is when we both make eye contact its time to leave.Just because you and your buddies all wait and wish each other luck, rev 3 times then leave doesnt mean we do it that way.I stopped,waited for you to roll up,you looked at me and it was on.Its heads up racing bro,not organized tree light racing.Your Raptor wasnt fast enough whether you got the hole shot or not,be honest here.I NEVER ONCE ROLLSTARTED YOU.Thats what would be considered unfairly starting early.Stop complaining.How big is your Raptor anyway.You were racing a stockbore with a 210 pound pilot.What more would you want?On top of all that i was trying to race only you during that time,not your friends.I believe a CR500 was running with us also.After we were done he came over and congratulated us on a great running bike.All your buddies calling me names ehh,why didnt you just stop by and tell me what you thought?we were parked right at the hill.Bottom line is we are all out there for the same thing,and thats to have fun.If you thought you were unfairly raced against you should have come over and asked for someone to start us and we could have ran again.You didnt though you just came home and complained on the net.Thats on you.Next time we can have a flagged start if it makes you feel better.OK...

Calm Down..... I guess it is just different ways of racing. It just caught me by surprise when you launched at eye contact......as I stated above , that YFZ is FAST, and I am not saying I could beat it. My bike is not built entirely for dragging , just for fun. It is wide and heavy. I never said you never rollstarted me either. I only visit Dumont a couple/three times a year, so maybe I am the one that misunderstands the racing style out there. Anyway...... nice job , fast bike....
