Congratulations Paul (Powdercoater) on a fantastic first time out to the Albany drag races. Your Raptor got faster as the day went on, I can't wait to get mine out there to see what it will do

I'll try to post some video later

Got anymore info on these drags? I live in Beaverton and would love to make a trip down.

This is Paul's first race, I think I was more confused than he was...

Here is the link to the Albany website with dates on it http://www.albanymx.com/ we should meet up there and do some racing!

LOL funny you say that. I took my old '92 cbr 600 to the track and on the first time down the track I got a PERFECT REACTION. Talk about beginners luck! I have'nt even come close since.

I believe my first r/t was a .570 or something like that. It didnt take me to long to stage, ive always been good at that. The closest ive gotten is a .002

I agree 4.8 first time out is damn good, just wait till paul gets his setup dialed in.

I'm assuming you guys are running 300' on dirt?

digitalhearing · « **Reply #9 on:** August 26, 2008, 04:11:01 PM »

Warm up race #2 yes it's 300' dirt and they do an awesome job of grooming it after every few runs

Bout how many 4 strokes were there and did any of them have a decent time?

digitalhearing · « **Reply #11 on:** August 26, 2008, 04:38:04 PM »

Very few 4 strokes out that weekend. We need to get the fast ones together and make a good showing.

That was a fun 1st trip to Albany for sure. Next race is Sep 13th and 14th. Time trials start at 8am. $10.00 gate fee, $25.00 for Sport Class and $40.00 for Pro Class.

Paul built that wheelie bar himself and it turned out great

He was running 14 paddle extreme's and couldn't hook-up. It take's alot of paddle and bigger rollout to get these built Raptor's to hook-up. We're looking at Ripper's and staggered extreme's(74-79 rollout) to get these bike's to launch right. I think with the right gearing and tire, these bike's can get below 4.5sec.

There weren't many 4-stroke's there....maybe less then 5.

I'll be there Sep 14th....struted and ready to make Paul look slow

Congrats to Paul for taking 3rd in the Pro Class

Sounds like fun. I will check my schedule and see if we can meet up. My bike is not in the same league as you guys, but would be fun to get there anyway.
