and i didn't catch up due to the fact they were throwing roost up like mad so i backed off the gas.

Boy, I know what that's like.. Try following mad dog @ silver lake on the drag strip. I've had to back off from him due to sand being embedded into my skin

Yea. You say that now.. but you're the guy always leading @ walden, maybe jump on a honda and let your budy get in front of you w/ the rappy.

I got plenty of seat time on my buddies KFX while he's leading on my Rappy.  I even think I posted up a picture of my googles (Shattered) becuase of it !

This is what happened earlier this year when I towed my cousin in from the dunes...be glad I had the prairie and not the raptor when I pulled you in.

That is awesome MD!

Totaly two different machines for sure.

It takes less to get a 450 race ready, and a lot less to get a Raptor dune ready.

Both are great machines.

kicked his ass outta the hole, even distance mid range, then id start pulling top end

Kyle, you are a munchkin = Less weight and wind resistance.

A DS650 is not right there with a Raptor!  Keep telling yourself that to make yourself feel better

Some of these 450s are fast even when stock for several reasons I think 1.The guys and kids that ride them quite often are light vrs the raptor guys that like to eat LOL 100 lbs difference is probably average.  2.The 450s are quick (light crankshafts) close gear ratios (perfect gear choice),quick is different than fast.3. 450 guys race more (practice makes perfect)they will get the hole shot on you if you are not carfull. 4.450s can vary as far as one may be alot faster than another (so dont mess around when racing this is serious stuff) 5.The 450 young kid may have real good reflexes so again dont let down your guard. 6.450 guys may be sneaky so know this if they hole shot you and you are gaining ground on them the may shut down early ( sorry 450 guys this racing thing is serious stuff LOLOLOL)  RAPTORS RULE!!!  Thier is no substitute for CCs
