Who will win the 500 "battle of the big bores" at TF 13?

[rg97]

Well, here we go. At TF 13, the big item seems is the rise of the 500. I have counted 9 people that have one, im sorry if i miss you in the poll. you had your chance to speak up:lol:

[Flossyb20]

I hear there's a 300R fooler running alcohol that'll take em all....

[86T3]

Whoever has the longest swinger and/or the most seat time. Smart money is on Raffa

[bkm]

I gotta go with the hometown boy JasonB.

[fabiodriven]

I couldn't pick one for certain, but I know 3 that I would be surprised if I beat.

[M.Pargiello]

My 480 won't be done in time :(

[TecateDan]

Luckily I'm not driving this death machine but I know there are some fast machines out there. Trish and grasshopper worry me for sure and I'm hearing rumors raffas got a "shot" of something up his sleeve. Jeff won't be at tf but I can drag him later to find out where he would place. I've ridden his machine and it pulls like a moto. It sheered a rear sprocket off in the ice it pulls so hard down low. Will be launching the monsta this weekend for the first time in full drag mode with the 84 front end.. Will have an update for all at that point. If the plus ten don't work I got stuff to make a plus 24" if need be

[Louis Mielke]

You guys aren't even accounting for the fast guys who aren't on the boards. I know of one green monster that pretty much will own everybody if it shows up and he ain't on the boards much at all.

Jason Hall also has a 500 but I'd be more concerned about getting beat by his 450. it's no joke.

It's been said again and again, 500cc's are not the drag race end all, lots of 310s and 330s that are faster, speaking of 330s, there another one of those I can think of that will give everyone a hard time probably going to be there as well.

[xrider]

If mark shows up with his tecate, he'll most likely win

[Louis Mielke]

If mark shows up with his tecate, he'll most likely win

Yup yup :-)

[Daddio]

I'm thinking a little like Louis. 250, 310, 500, 1200......what really matters is, who's machine is set-up best for the conditions and most of all ..... consistency! No matter how big and bad your machine is if you wheelie, bobble on the start or miss a shift.......you're likely eliminated. :naughty:
I also agree with them on Marks Tecate. I saw it there a few years ago. He launched shifted twice, shut it down and coasted across the finish line and still beat everyone. Awesome!!!

[MIK6]

The Grasshopper! Its 1 fast T3!
I mark brings it hes got a good shot!
But I do agree there will be more trikes capable of taking the win...
Trish, the chameleon, and others.... it should be a good show!

Guys, the poll is battle of the 500's. The OP isnt saying who will win the open class.

[TecateDan]

Does that include the bored out 500's Like grass hopper's 540 or are we saing just STD bore 500cc trikes (and Raffa's 490?) Perhaps a grudge showdown at some point of just the 500 for fun like thursday afternoon? Great shake down for the machines anyways

Guys, the poll is battle of the 500's. The OP isnt saying who will win the open class.The same thing I was thinking. The way I read it the winner would be the one to make it the furthest in the eliminations. I don't think I stand a chance with only a +2 swinger but stranger things have happened. I took 1st last year at a local race on a stock tecate. 250-400cc 2 stroke so i'm sure you can guess the quads I was up against. That was E.T racing though,not heads up. I know there is a new starting system at TF this year but I'm not sure if there is a trap at the end of the track to determine times or if it's still first across the line. E.T racing is all about reaction time and much faster bikes can be eliminated If they don't know when to launch with a with a drag tree.

[LastFoolerInVA]

I'm gonna bring my 84 r w/ a 300 kit... I hope she will at least be some competition for all these water pumpin 500's!!

[zmpolaristech]

hey....She may not be a 500, but I think Trish will win it all! with just 400cc....

[Louis Mielke]

Not legal! Only one piston minimum size of a coffee can allowed. Lol!

[Louis Mielke]

The orange crush ain't no drag machine but may e I'll have the drag 500 freshened up although right now it's setup for flat track.

[TecateDan]

I think they said there are times recorded but no printing machine so someone would have to be down there recording them all??? Also the one who makes it farthest in the open drags may not be the fastest depending on the bracket and who they race. IF your two races are VS grasshopper and trish that doesn't make it slow it just sucks that you pulled that lot. This may have to come down to a grude drag at the very end??? Unless a 500 wins the whole thing,. That I think would settle it

[JasonB]

well there is usually a gap between the open class and awards ceremony, why the hell dont we just have a quick 15/20 minutes of grudge racing between just the 5 hundo's to see who is the head honcho here? I would feel bad winning the open class AND a separate grudge match of the 500's but if it has to be done ;)

[keister]

Guys, the poll is battle of the 500's. The OP isnt saying who will win the open class.

I don't think I understand the question.

[ktmcrasher]

the BB3WW trophy? event though i live on the other side of the world i love the big bores & i love the trash talk.

you guys need a proper knockout drag race session.

[thestud25]

I don't think I understand the question.
In my opinion, there are people making it out like the original poster was insinuating that the 500cc boys would win it all by this poll. My understanding of the poll was "Who will be the fastest or best 500cc at TF13", not win it all.

[keister]

In that case, my vote is Sanchez wiil show up on his 500 and smoke them all.

[ps2fixer]

Poll looks pretty clear what is going to happen.... all shal crash and burn and some random ATC70 will beat them all!

[JasonB]

lmao we are all going down in flames according to popular belief ahahahahahahahah typical. Nerd gets the girl, jock blows out his knee in the big game and ends up living with his parents until hes 45

[stroberts22]

This is my 500 pick in the far lane. Is it on the list?

[TecateDan]

This is my 500 pick in the far lane. Is it on the list?

If memory serves me right she took 3rd last year. Camelion and Trish were one two so that's a great point.. If I remember right again she beat her husband who took 4th

[RoscoW]

That would be Cory and her husband is Disasterfun (Kevin).

[TecateDan]

Ah yes Kevin and Corey... Thanks for reminding me

[rg97]

Why am I not surprised that "crashing and burning" is the popular choice?

[just ben]

thanks for the votes, WTF Xowner has his listed for parts and even he got a vote! lol

[MTS]

Dont worry ben its part of the "plan" :lol: :lol:

[ps2fixer]

thanks for the votes, WTF Xowner has his listed for parts and even he got a vote! lol

That's the trick, while everyone else crashes and burns, Xowner can push it across the finish line :)

[rg97]

Bumping this back up to the top to get more votes

[KASEY]

thanks for the votes, WTF Xowner has his listed for parts and even he got a vote! lol
