Well today I took the bike to do some dirt dragging and let me tell you it was a blast!!! I did alright, I qualified with a 5.360 with a best time of 5.149. My tires just wouldn't hook up! You wouldn't believe how fast some of the 4x4's were! In the 4.500 -4.99 class a Can-Am actually won it. I wish my wife would have gotten a video of it because it was impressive. After I qualified I ended up going up against, go figure a 4x4 Can-Am, which eventually I ended up losing too! My first run I decided to try taking off in 2nd, only because some of the guys there recommended it. You can hear in the first clip how it bogs a little off the line. By the time I recovered it as to late. The second one I went back to starting in 1st and won by about a bike lenght. My third run, I dicked it up and got to far to the left and caught traction, so I had to let off, so I lost. Though I didn't take anything home it was fun and was worth the trip...

That was bad ass man looks like fun. those can-am's are know joke, that thing pulled one heck of a wheelie in the second vid for such a heavy 4x4. what all do you have done to that 450, that exaust sounds extremley loud.
 
Man for only a $5 registration fee you couldn't beat it...lol They do it once a month here and I'll be there every month. Those 4x4's that were there was no joke! The one I went up against was in my class. The ones in the 4.500 to 4.999 class where insane! Some of the guys there took this very serious. I mean brand new four wheelers and completely modded to do only one thing,,,go straight. As for my 450 I only have an exhaust (Jardine), intake, and jet kit, everything else stock. I put all my money in suspension, axle, and rim/tires. It's quick enough for me, anything else and I might hurt myself.
 
Yea that does suck, don't worry though before you know it it'll be summer!
 
I know that dude with the black and orange raptor, his name is Daniel, that is one nasty Raptor, I think it has a 727 big bore kit, he races at Busco Beach in Goldsboro alot.
