No way would I just drag race, I gotta be able to hang it out and tear it up, I spent 13 consecutive seasons running into corners WFO...... I love to flat track around the small lakes in the oregon dunes....it's great fun. Hell, I flat track and rail corners with my 780 on an +8'' arm and people tell me you can't dune on a +8'' all the time  :grin_nod:
I see no reason why I can't make a 797 totally dunable
