Quad drags?

[8buck]

A local race track here is putting in a 1/4 mile drag strip. Don't most quads race an 1/8 mile strip? I realize you could gear it for a 1/4 mile but I don't think the amateurs around here would want to run that fast very offten.

 

Also, I'm not to savy on how drag strips work but would it be that big of a deal to set one up for 1/8 and 1/4 mile races?

you can run either. geared as high as possible, you are still winding out 6 th at the 8 th.the 8 th is more suited for quads.most asphalt strips will allow you to run on bike or muffled street car, or test and tune nights.

1/8 mile is by far (IMO) better for a banshee of even a 4 stroke then 1/4 mile. My Shee when it just had bolt ons was tapped out in 6th about 75 feet before the 660 mark. My best friend YFZ450 was quicker but my shee had a higher top speed. (means my shee made more power!)

He hasn't been back since he did the port high comp piston and more aggresive cams.

I haven't been able to race the last 2 seasons due to My ship being out to sea every time they do Drag racing at Barona raceway or i am out at glamis(gotta have priorities! :baseball_w00t: )

I haven't seen a 1/4 mile strip yet that didn't time you at the 1/8 too. Most people when they run here with quads will get to the 1/8 and then let off. They still get timed for the whole 1/4, but whats the point when you aren't accelerating any more?
