Many bikes in the for sale section that will motivate a big fella such as your self. Might have to buy a sand bike and change a few things though.

Thank you for your input I really appreciate it, what would you need to change from a sand bike tires mostly?

Most sand drag bikes are geared for 300 feet. So tires and some extra sprockets should get you going.

Yeah you can start with tires and gearing changes. Depending whether or not you find a rigid or suspended set up maybe some suspension adjustments. Then, start looking at the lock up tuning stuff in the drag section

 

It should also be noted that with that distance you will need to look in to a set up with a bit less timing and a not so crazy compression ratio.

It may sound like a lot, but really all you do to make dome changes is pull the head shell and swap the inserts and torque it back down.
