DUNE-A-TIC Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 I talked to some folks that went, but no mention of it here. Anyone??? Dune Quote
MDS2106 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 We had a great time.Had some fast bikes thias year.Hell the utility quad class winner ran a 5.0 I got to meet the honda xr650 guy and take a couple of pics of his bike, to bad they really didn't have a bracket to suit it.The 11yr old girl really whooped up some fast banshees this year.Excesspaint's new drag bike ran a 4.3 even after losing 1st gear in test and tuning,we think with a first gear and a little nitrous it will be consistent 3.8-3.9 bike Quote
dalegoldston Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 I think useing a jockey is cheating. I believe the builder should have to ride there own bikes but hell if the 11 year old built it then go for it. If you are using a 60 lbs rider that snot all bike winning that just power to weight ratio. Quote

But that's striclty my opinion, I'm sure the races were a lot of fun to watch :beer: Quote
locogato11283 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 yea im thinkin about putting a 90 pound kid on my hillclimb bike.. :shoothead: no thats gay.. you should ride your own shit.. Quote
MDS2106 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 (edited) The bike is a 4 mill,which was built for her and is only ran by the 11yr old girl.Her dad built it and she does a good job of running it. Hell her little brother was running an eton 50 motor all hopped up, on a minature drag frame.She really isn't just a jockey...Her Dad also had his drag bike there,He told me its something his family loves to do together.

OverRaTeD Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 yep her and her dad built it, they call it the Barbie Banshee and she can ride the hell out of it. I have seen her dad and her make it to the finals at Capitol Dragway and have to race each other. Pretty cool if you ask me. I have never seen anyone else ride her bike. Quote
DUNE-A-TIC Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Posted March 8, 2007 I seen her run at the last Clash, she seemed to just be getting used to it then. Sweet bike fo sho. Yeppers the XR did good from what he told me against bikes on motor. There has been talk of putting it on the bottle for awhile now. Might be interesting to see what happens. Dune Quote
MDS2106 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 Well the" barbie banshee" took home the money so that ought to say somethimg. Quote
dalegoldston Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 I just remember that at 4 stroke wars on the hill in cali. Some of the big names were using kids just to reduce the weight. But if she always runs then you know what you are in for a comparable bike will lose to her if she is good. It just seems irresponsible to put a kid on a bike like that. But hey its just my opinion so. I hope she has fun and stays safe. Quote
