The only time he lost is when he pulled a wheelie, all the other vids he won in (and he was 3 yards behind the guy after his wheelie). Here are some clips and pics :D. Oh and his time slip said fast under "time" so were not quite sure how fast he was runnin ;).

So, the "Riddler" owns the dirt drags. Sweet! Guess I better get started on my 500 for trikefest. I've been waiting to see how it ran. Nice roost all the way down the track!

Nice job Raffa.

Nice vids, looks like Raffa held his own against the modified banshees except that last video, sounded like a modified snowmobile engine in that quad(no shifting):beer

Well since ya'll are being so secretive about what its running I'm gonna guess it ran good with 4 and some change. I'll just time the video when I get home :lol: :D

Looks like location segregation isn't gonna be the thing next TF. Its gonna be brand. Team yamaha's getting all secretive. Hmm. Looks like teams Hodna and Kawasaki got some work to do. lol

wonder if it would be possible to hook two 500s up in tandom? lol

so whats it take for a 250r to beat these "490s" and "500s"?? A 330 kit? or would you have to go 370 or 410?:naughty: I heard that someone had a 310 last year and was pretty dam close to billy during practice. hmmmm...

Billy Golightly
10-15-2006, 12:44 PM
Yeah that was Jason Hall's 310. It depends on what you do to them, I mean Ronnies 250 has beat my 500 numerous times, did beat Jason Hall, and the KX500 tecate that was there too. But then again Ronnie is the holeshot king, no one believes it but theres alot more to drag racing then "Holding it wide open and shifting".

I cant wait to hear how Raffa did today. I wasnt able to attend but raffa was one of the qualifiers for $10,000 yesterday (Woody's Shootout, 2 bikes satrday get entered and 2 bikes sunday. Can be the same ones.) He probably wont be on till 11-12a.m. if I had to guess

Boy that would be something... Have the bike pay for itself the first time out. I hope the best for him. :beer

the first one was my last run that took me out..he ran a 4.675 with a reaction time of .580 mine was a .794 but still.. needs more work to run with the boys at a 4.6-4.7 in my class..Both guys in my class ran faster than me,,Plans are all ready started for this winter... say tuned for that!

HRC here on the boards ran a 4.9 with his 250R saterday in super pro mod and won his class...

TWO Days strait drag raceing..Ive have been bitten by the drag race bug hard core!!!!:lol:

no one believes it but theres alot more to drag racing then "Holding it wide open and shifting". Well i believe it and thats one of the reasons i know a modded 250r big bore CAN beat the 500's and 490's. I finally recieved my 89 trx engine a couple of days ago, now its time to look for a big bore kit.... I just DONT want the yammi's to take the drags at TF07. sorry to hi-jack your thread raffa :rolleyes: That Z is BAAAD:naughty:

thats a 4.8 brian!!!! finally got her runnin right... :w00t: shes going on a diet this winter and i might do a different cylinder, next yer i hope to get consistent 4.7's or maybe even 4.6's with my little 250 with no nos, and its completely possible. but brian, i believe with a staright-up hardcaore drag port job and maybe a different fuel :naughty: aka meth, you could easily be up there being competitive in your class. that thing runs nice, looks nice and is done right-thats the first step. im glad to see something like that done right.

Looks like that bike needs a longer swingarm! Lol, still popping wheelies on that thing! Well have fun, I wonder how a Tecate 250 would hold up in the drags? =)
