bigboybanshee Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 I had a great time today! George Rays is a really cool place to run, even though the track isn't in the best condition, the crowd makes it a lot of fun. Dallas' banshee is a real strong runner, once he finally hooked up he was movin!! I always got him out the hole but he would catch up and pass me before the finish. There was a couple of the races we were pretty close at the finish line, others he had a length or two on me. It was all in fun and we had a blast...I'll tell you this much, next time we meet up I'll be on alky too, I wouldn't doubt if we were side by side the entire time :beer: lol, the ds650...I lined up next to a ds650 and all started well till I missed second (hit neutral). He got about 5 or 6 lengths on me if not more before I got going again. I kicked it up in second and clutched the shit out of it and and managed to catch up and pass him a length before the finish. The crowd was loving it :biggrin: My wife came out and took some video of the races. I'm about to go watch them here in a minute and I'll try and make a video tonight, but if not I'll have it tomorrow night for sure. I do have some pics, nothing major just shots of our bikes together. I had an awesome time and can't wait to come up there again...I really appreciate the override tranny and shock, Dallas. I'll be sending those wheels soon, or I may just bring them up to you. :beer: My wife :baseball_original: Thanks again Dallas! Quote

race-a-holic Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Posted July 3, 2006 Make sure to thank your wife for me for taking the video.Good pictures you took too. Man,this day was awesome.I'm already looking forward for next time.Travis didn't properly to tell you guy about his' legion of fans.They were stopping him in the staging lanes for pictures,talking about his banshee,etc...He even had a guy offer him $13,000 for it.I had "one" guy come up to me and ask me who had the grey banshee.LOL!!!!!! I did have a little more top end than bigboy,but I might be in "big" trouble once he goes to alcohol. It's awesome on gas.I should be alot faster when I get my slicks on it.This will be interesting.

I have problems sometimes with putfile too. Make sure to thank your wife for me for taking the video.Good pictures you took too.

I will definitely thank her for you...she had a great time. We were already talking about the next time we go! :biggrin: Check out www.georgerays.net They have the pics up there now I was a little taken back by the guy that came up to me wanting to buy it...we hadn't even been there 15 minutes! I tell you what, the more I think about it, next time I'm gonna do it and build something twice as fast. I probably have 6 or 7 in my banshee as it sits. Ya know, you having the advantage of alcohol and I had the advantage of tires...we really were pretty even for the day. I got the launches, you had the extra power to pass me on top. It was a damn good day of racing!! Quote
race-a-holic Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Posted July 3, 2006 Look what I found.(www.georgerays.net) On the last picture is when the Bom got a huge jump on big boy.The guy was telling us about it.He said on down toward the end he couldn't believe he run that good with Travis.When he got back,his' buddy asked him why travis just sat there when he took off.LOL!!!

bigboybanshee Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 the youtube video is lke full screen.... pixeled all out... I noticed that...if someone has a better site to upload the video to, I got it with me at work today. It's only 10mb and the quality is better than what you guys are seeing on those links. I'm guessing the sites must really compress the vids before hosting them :shrug: Sorry about that, I'll get something worked out today :beer: I was surprised to see all those pics up on George Rays site, seemed like they really enjoyed us being out there! :biggrin: I still couldn't believe George Ray asked if I could give him a lift on the back of my banshee :baseball_shocked: Yesterday was the best time I've spent on any track, can't wait to get back there.

race-a-holic Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Posted July 3, 2006 Their talking about us on the george ray's website.Think they'll want our autographs next time?Wait,I think you was already doing that yesterday.LOL!!!!! :yelrotflmao: Just like when I go out to my parents house by myself,and they ask me,"where's molly?" I'll go back to the track,and they'll say,"where's travis?"LOL! Quote

This should be a fairly decent quality version of the races :beer: http://www.nfynite.com/Videos/GeorgeRays.mpg Quote
race-a-holic Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Posted July 3, 2006 I've already been chatting a little on there website.On their forum I go by dallas350.I'm hoping I can talk them into a pro quad,street bike,pro bike class.That way everyone can have a class.I doubt any street bikes would race knowing they had to run against a crotchrocket.We'll see.

race-a-holic Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Posted July 3, 2006 I just posted a topic on their website(www.georgerays.net).Go to their main chat.It's titled:starting new classes.Just trying to see what will happen. Quote
