so a good friend of mine found a track that just started a atv 1/8th mile drags class. he brought his 03 predator 500 and was able to turn a 10.000 second run. it is bracket style racing. the track is going to start running a full 1/4 mile soon. now my question to everybody is,have you ever ran in such a race and if so what kinda tires do you like. traction doesn't seem to be a issue with his, but i know my R is going to burn off the holeshots like none other. any advice would be helpfull.

duro top fighters, duro scorchers, or flat track tt american racer or hoosier tires....

nice! how about wheelie bars? know of any just bolt on and go kind? or is it make it all from scratch?

its either buy one and modifiy it or build one yourself....
or take your bike somewhere and have someone else make it...
these are not in order of price! lol

10 seconds seems pretty slow

Yeah i agree with ridinred. My buddies run in the 7.50s to 7.80s with pipes, stage 2 cams and green wire mod. My ole bike pulled a 6.43 on the bottle with a 10 shot and i also run Hoosiers for that type of stuff. Hope this helps you out.

I had no trouble hooking up with stock tires on a poorly preped track. I dont have much more than an HRC kit on my 450er.

i run atlas racers the company is out of biz now but they work good. my fastest was a 14.780 at 79.8 mph in the 1/4 on my 04 with a pipe,an cam heres a vid link of some pavement races http://s819.photobucket.com/albums/zz114/S...nt=SidvsCar.flv

you gotta remember we are talking about a 2003 polaris predator. the thing is running on 1970's technoligy. not to tale a shot at them or anything, but they have not made any big steps within the past 30 years

Calling your bluff... but is a 6.43 from the bike in your sig? I'd like to see that timeslip.
I don't know of a 450 based bike of any brand that could run close to that. Like i said not trying to step on any toes but put it up. Thanks

That's a solid 10 second bike!

we gotta remember that i am talking about a 1/8 mile.........not 1/4

i know my 450r will know the sh!t out of his in just some dirt drags so i would think a 7.00 1/8 should not be too hard.
