Yankee Zephyr Racing Productions will be running an amature snow drag in Reed City, MI on Jan.16th. Located on 190th. Ave. just east of Reed City off US-10 and 131. Snow track right next to the Pere Marquette Rail trail so you will be able to ride to the event. Four lanes, timming system on site, setup as a .004 tents tree with RT and ET time slips. This is a Grudge style race...no classes. Race who you want as many times as you want.Great time to race your buddies and back it up with time slips just like the pros at Onstead and Hastings. Tickets are $10/person at the gate, $20 per sled to race as many times as you would like. No snow No race, do not need trail stickers, the track is 500' with 1500' of shut down. Starts at 10am and runs til dark. Any questions call 616-260-4382 Found this on another site and knew a few people on here have sleds in the area.I will be at this one for sure. Hope to see some from this site as well.

I just picked up my new toy hauler last night... 08 Ram with the Hemi, Big Horn (everything Chromed), spray in bed liner with a cover on it, electrical rear sliding window, tow package, big boy mirrors that can go vertical, full warranties, only 11,500 miles.

The peddles should be no gap/cant look through them. I use my fingure to push the peddles gently to make sure they still move a little.

If it helps any I have a set of Boyson 3-stage reeds on my sled for 6-8 years now with no problems, still straight and strong.

Thanks for the information.

Well I personally cant weld even though I work for a Structural steel company and have a Misc. shop also. So I know a few poeple plus my father-in-law has two race car frames that he built himself. The jack shaft setups with belt drives is what has me puzzled. Well I guess thats why we start at the drawing board. Time to start using my schooling...wow its amazing that I have a dregree in Drafting and Design and have only used it for 3 months and that was 4-5years ago. Thanks for the input fellas, first I will have to see if the motor is still available.

Ok thanks guys, so there are Banshee based triple? Wow learn something new everyday. Thanks again.

I have been kicking around the idea of building a drag bike. I was wondering if anyone is or knows someone that has put a snowmobile motor in a shee frame? I might have a triple snowmobile motor that is looking for a frame to be unleashed in. Ya I could build a drag sled then I am limited...but with a banshee frame I could drag at the track and sand/dirt. I am just wondering how you would use the clutches? How you connect the drives? A lot more questions Im sure would come later but didnt know if its possible, has it been done before, classes for hp? Thanks. Oh the motor could be a 00 Artic Cat ThunderCat 1000cc triple (stock hp around 175)the motor is a suzuki.

this is funny....and true. This was sent by a retired dentist. We have the standard 6 ft. Fence in the backyard, a few months ago, I heard about burglaries increasing dramatically in the entire city. To make sure this never happened to me, I got an electric fence and ran a single wire along the top of the fence. Actually, I got the biggest cattle charger Tractor Supply had, made for 26 miles of fence. I then used an 8 ft. long ground rod, and drove it 7.5 feet into the ground. The ground rod is the key, with the more you have in the ground, the better the fence works. One day I'm mowing the back yard with my cheapo Wal-Mart 6 hp big wheel push mower. The hot wire is broken and laying out in the yard. I knew for a fact that I unplugged the charger. I pushed the mower around the wire and reached down to grab it, to throw it out of the way. It seems as though I hadn't remembered to unplug it after all. Now I'm standing there, I've got the running lawnmower in my right hand and the 1.7 giga-volt fence wire in the other hand. Keep in mind the charger is about the size of a marine battery and has a picture of an upside down cow on fire on the cover. Time stood still. The first thing I notice is my pecker trying to climb up the front side of my body. My ears curled downwards and I could feel the lawnmower ignition firing in the backside of my brain. Every time that Briggs & Stratton rolled over, I could feel the spark in my head. I was literally at one with the engine. It seems as though the fence charger and the piece of junk lawnmower were fighting over who would control my electrical impulses. Science says you cannot crap, pee, and vomit at the same time. I beg to differ. Not only did I do all three at once, but my bowels emptied 3 different times in less than half of a second. It was a Matrix kind of bowel movement, where time is creeping along and you're all leaned back and BAM BAM BAM you just crap your pants 3 times. It seemed like there were minutes in between but in reality it was so close together it was like exhaust pulses from a big block Chevy turning 8 grand. At this point I'm about 30 minutes (maybe 2 seconds) into holding onto the fence wire. My hand is wrapped around the wire palm down so I can't let go. I grew up on a farm so I know all about electric fences.....but Dad always had those pieces of junk chargers made by International or whoever that were like 9 volts and just kinda tickled. This one I could not let go of. The 8 foot long ground rod is now accepting signals from me through the permadamp Ark-La-Tex river bottom soil. At this point I'm thinking I'm going to have to just man up and take it, until the lawnmower runs out of gas. 'Damn!,' I think, as I remember I just filled the tank! Now the lawnmower is starting to run rough. It has settled into a loping run pattern as if it had some kind of big lawnmower race cam in it. Covered in poop, pee, and with my vomit on my chest I think 'Oh God please die... Pleeeeaze die'. But nooooo, it settles into the rough lumpy cam idle nicely and remains there, like a big bore roller cam EFI motor waiting for the go command from its owner's right foot. So here I am in the middle of July, 104 degrees, 80% humidity, standing in my own backyard, begging God to kill me. God did not take me that day.....he left me there covered in my own fluids to writhe in the misery my own stupidity had created. I honestly don't know how I got loose from the wire...I woke up laying on the ground hours later. The lawnmower was beside me, out of gas. It was later on in the day and I was sunburned. There were two large dead grass spots where I had been standing, and then another long skinny dead spot where the wire had laid while I was on the ground still holding on to it. I assume I finally had a seizure and in the resulting thrashing had somehow let go of the wire. Upon waking from my electrically induced sleep I realized a few things: 1- Three of my teeth seem to have melted. 2- I now have cramps in the bottoms of my feet and my right butt cheek (not the left, just the right). 3- Poop, pee, and vomit when all mixed together, do not smell as bad as you might think. 4- My left eye will not open 5- My right eye will not close. 6- The lawnmower runs like a sumbitch now. Seriously! I think our little session cleared out some carbon fouling or something, because it was better than new after that. 7- My nuts are still smaller than average yet they are almost a foot long. 8- I can turn on the TV in the game room by farting while thinking of the number 4 (still don't understand this). That day changed my life. I now have a newfound respect for things. I appreciate the little things more, and now I always triple check to make sure the fence is unplugged before I mow. The good news, is that if a burglar does try to come over the fence, I can clearly visualize what my security system will do to him, and THAT gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling all over, which also reminds me to triple check before I mow.

^best quote yet.

^Baldwin, Club 37 fun trails. I grew up just north of there and its always fun to go back. I know on M55 are some cabins to rent and just into Irons also. I know for sure I will be riding the weekend of Sept.12th. getting a group together for my last week of not being married. Oh man and early doe season is around then to so I will be up almost every weekend. Give me a shout.

Well my two cars and truck I change every 3,000 miles. The John Deere I change it ever spring. I know people with 4 stroke sleds that only change it once a year (mainly because its a 3 hour tear down hassle) My buddy only changes his wifes 4 stroke quad once every other year. My two sleds dont have to change oil cause it a 2 stroke. I hope that covers it...???

I know in the snowmobile market is a spray on "seat gripper" helps keep your ass on the seat. Makes it sticky. I personally wouldnt use it but just throwin it out at ya.

Sponsors on the back for sure, like dajogejr said maybe a "better graphic" for the front. I will take 3 when the time comes. Question...for us trail guys are you offering long sleeves or all T-shirts? Tree branches, vines and rocks across the arms suck. Color options? Just my 2cents.

This is good entertainment

Man talk about shooting yourself in the foot. :wallbash: You have a lot to learn if you want to become a salesmen. Anyways look at it like this, you have a bike, not only a bike but a Banshee a 4 stroke killer man. Plus you have a Blaster. Like everyone else said sell the Blaster, get what you get, put some food on the table and then use the rest to replace some parts. When I bought my bike I went through and replaced everything just so I could ride by spring- Chain, front & rear sprocket, axle, rear hubs, pipes, rebuilt rear master, rear brake caliper, front brake pads, took off all the grease zirts and cleaned them out (most was plugged) added Tusk nerf bars, tether, rear shock bearings, all front bearings, all SS stator bolts, SS clutch cover bolts, rims, tires, carb rebuild kit, Vitos topend and I might be forgetting something...but I only put about $900 into mine...so $2000 into yours would make it a bad machine. I know mine isnt the best looking girl at the prom but who gives a fuck, the only thing I plan on people seeing on the trails is my exhaust tips. Also having a banshe that might need parts replaced now you can replace them and get what you want and pimp it out your style. If you go out and spend all that money on a newer stock one you might be disapointed because now you have to start all over, beside it could be someone else headache. Just my 2cents.

They do have different style, types, colors.

...

Couldnt you buy just a block? The kit I added was a 3" Pivot riser with a 6" block. I added 9" and a straight bar to my sled last summer. I know its not a quad but could give some ideas.

^ has my vote, that way you can see with your own eyes whats exactly in there then.-just my .02

Wow 70 degrees...I would just put it in natural

No name stamped on the old pipes (came with the bike when I bought it and that owner couldnt tell me) but they looked like DG's . Nothing wrong with the pipes just more mid to top end power. Probly great for the dunes.

Just piped up a set of T5's with silencers chrome used for $200. Wow night and day difference from what I had.Very happy

I have seen something like that a few times here in MI but with a snowmobile going down the road.
