1/8 drags in immokalee florida

535banshee · March 14, 2006, 12:49:14 AM

i am talking with immokalee raceway right now about running a class for us on saturdays once a month. the first race will be next month, i will know the date this week. i am trying to get a season started for this year and some kind of winnings for you ever finishes first in the points. give me some feed back if you all have some ideas. i was thinking maybe a cheetah motor for the points winner. it will be heads up racing with a pro tree. the track record will be up for grabs on the first night of racing.

svtbolt04 · March 14, 2006, 03:26:51 AM

Maybe there should be a 4 stroke and 2 stroke record...

535banshee · March 14, 2006, 11:47:09 PM

the first race is going to be april 29th. its going to be a great time so try to make it guys if you can. the gates wil open at 3:00 for time runs and racing will start at i think at 5 or 6. if we get alot of bikes to show up we will make classes on the day of race. this is going to be the first race so please try to work with us. as time comes on we will start some kind of rules and classes to make things fair

Quotei was thinking maybe a cheetah motor for the points winner

cutngrs · March 17, 2006, 03:07:32 AM

you need to have a 200 # minumum rider class and call it the heavy hitters class

PLEDGER#76 · March 17, 2006, 09:56:06 PM

the way I have been gaining pounds I will fit right in that class with you, I hit the 198 mark on the scale this morning!!!!

dirty1 · March 17, 2006, 10:19:28 PM

the fastest quad out there is a custom 250r style fram from lonestar with a snow mobile motor in it......
its called the ChuppaCabra. and its got a cute leapord print seat cover.

535banshee · March 18, 2006, 01:49:27 PM

i have seen it run and it will have some comp. we have a bike going out that says he will run in the 5's

tribal banshee · March 19, 2006, 05:58:02 AM

I want to see some time slips

I know that when that chuppa cabra is running it is very hard to beat. Have seen it race with my own eyes. That puppy flies!!!!!!!!!!!!

methyman · March 19, 2006, 11:26:37 AM

Yeah it moves down the track quickly. You are talking about a snow mobile motor and a very light titanium chassis which the motor is over 1000 cc. twin cylinder running oxygenated fuel. I know a thing or two about this bike. I have seen it run several times at Immokalee Regional Raceway. Low 6's about 104-108 mph. I think Papa Tribals Banshee 4mil will give it a good run being over geared and under transmissioned.

535banshee · March 19, 2006, 01:49:59 PM

i think your right matt. you got jayson running in the the 6.40's running out of gear. now he got a six speed with nos. i think now with the right gear he will go in the 5's. hopefully the guys from miami come over and we get some goog racing going on.

tribal banshee · March 19, 2006, 03:52:03 PM

Damn Matt I thought it was a little faster than that

The crazy thing about papa's bike is we were running a 1-5 override and Tony said the bike never quit pulling like a monster even way passed the traps and we didn't even have striaght cut gears in the motor. Very wild to run as good as it did. Like I told papa everything had to be matched perfectly. Oh well sometimes I wish he still had that motor!

methyman · March 20, 2006, 02:35:26 AM

I herd that the ChuppaCabra snow mo quad was at Immokalee Regional Raceway Friday night and the best time it ran was 6.10 et in the eighth. I can wait to see a big bore banshee out this thing with half the cc.

535banshee · March 22, 2006, 11:31:52 PM

i have had alot of calls from guys in miami. yes we will have classes if alot of bikes show up. all racing will be heads up with protree start.

methyman · April 02, 2006, 11:36:51 AM

to the top!

535banshee · April 02, 2006, 03:36:42 PM

are you guys ready to go. lot of talk going around about this race. Cant wait unit the 29th. if you think its fast just bring it. for you guys that want to race smaller bikes we will have a class for you. lets make this first event big guys so lets load them up and bring it

535banshee · April 08, 2006, 11:43:54 PM

went to the track last night, and they are really pushing this event. chris rode my bike and it went 6.48 with running out of gear at 3/4 track. it has a 18 up front 37 in the rear. the bike is running lean up top. did some tuning today and a gear change. chris is having a hard time holding on to it right now. he said a few more runs and he will be able to go balls to the wall with it. going back out on friday. i would like to see high 5's

Smoknbanshee · April 09, 2006, 02:02:00 PM

hey jeff do you have a breakdown of classes and what is the entry fees?

535banshee · April 09, 2006, 11:09:41 PM

we are not sure of classes yet. going to put it together when we get there. it all comes down to what shows up. the fee to race is 25.00. should have classes from stock to pro mods. maybe a four stroke if we get a good turn out. alot of people calling from miami, so should have a good showin

Smoknbanshee · April 10, 2006, 01:31:57 AM

thanks jeff...what is the admission fee to get in the place? is the track smooth? what all do they require riders to wear?

535banshee · April 10, 2006, 01:46:37 AM

to watch its 15 and to race its 25. the track is smooth and you have to have a kill switch and pants, long sleeve shirt or jacket and some boots of some sort.

Smoknbanshee · April 10, 2006, 02:44:51 AM

sweet...is it safe to say there will possible be a 350 oem cylinder on gas class? or would it be open to alcohol too? just trying to get an idea of whether i should slam the 350 on the ground if i go.

535banshee · April 12, 2006, 09:37:20 PM

i would say there sould be a 350 class. i have had alot of people call for this class. i would love to see you and cuts come on down for this one

Seabeejim · April 12, 2006, 11:22:33 PM

We need a Utility class so you can get some of our support too. Maybe see how it turns out this month then add a utility class, and I will be there.

535banshee · April 13, 2006, 11:05:35 AM

we can give you guys a class just got to see what kind of turn out. hope to see all you guys on the 29th

methyman · April 14, 2006, 02:15:56 AM

If you guys do come down for the race the track would like the quads to have a number plate so they can keep track of all the bikes. Like a MX nuber plate at the rear on the grab bar with the last four digits of our social security number if possible.

535banshee · April 15, 2006, 02:07:58 AM

just came back from the track and there were alot of bikes there tonight. should have a real good turn out on the 29th. good to see alot of people getting ready for the race

535banshee · April 21, 2006, 12:07:08 AM

well guys i am ready for tnt friday night. sould be two 610's there, lets see you runs better. i hope we have a good turn out like last friday. i think we should see more this friday because race is next week. hope some of you guys can make it

Smoknbanshee · April 21, 2006, 01:46:34 AM

tribal banshee · April 21, 2006, 09:23:53 PM

methyman · April 22, 2006, 10:57:11 PM

Smoknbanshee · April 22, 2006, 11:24:02 PM

methyman · April 22, 2006, 11:30:40 PM

Yup rain out yesterday

. But there will be next friday before the big race day to TNT. There was alot of quads last week at TNT. Hope the turn out is good so we can keep running once a month.

tribal banshee · April 23, 2006, 01:20:45 PM

man that sucks matt. It hasn't rained up here in like 60 days.

Definately not scared, but my bike has been in a million pieces since I put my motor in papas frame and went to GA and got a track record. Since then, have not had the drive to put it back together. Too busy playing in the mud with our Grizzlies, but I'll get it back together here one day

methyman · April 23, 2006, 02:19:41 PM

No drive WOW I cant believe that. Hell I would have that bike together in a couple hours. Quit chit chatting on here and get your ass in gear and but her back together so you can come down here next weekend.

tribal banshee · April 24, 2006, 03:00:37 AM

actually a little burnt out, but I'll get it back together soon just have to get back out in the shop and start playing around

535banshee · April 25, 2006, 09:11:42 PM

well the phone is starting to ring more and more. the race is just a few days away. got everything ready for friday tnt and can wait for saturday night. hope to see alot of you guys out there, should be alot of good racing.

methyman · April 29, 2006, 01:23:01 PM

There were some more quads last night to TNT. Jeff's bike went like low 6.0's. I see a 5 second pass on that bike very soon. Today is the big race. Track opens at 2pm so if your coming get here early to get a good parking spot. It is going to get packed at the track tonight.

535banshee · April 29, 2006, 01:58:05 PM

a 6.04 to be exact. 5's are coming soon. chris had to ease of the gas for split second.
r/t .5046
60 ft 1.4820
330ft 3.8718
e/t 6.0401
mph 105.71

methyman · April 30, 2006, 04:38:49 AM

Well there was a decent turn out like 18 bike class. There was two 4 mm motors from ACME Racing Tampa Florida that ran against the big dogs and ran great. One a T-Rex and the other a cub. Then the final was two 610 cc motors. Jeff Close's bike with Chris Trunk Riding it and Jason's Willams riding his bike and Jason won. Good Job Jason & Chris. The ACME 4mm cub came in 3rd. Great job John and ACME Racing Team!! The 4mm cubs were all running hard. Jeff's bike ran a 5.97 et. in the second round of elimations. The snow moblie quad ran 5.76et at 115mph but got disqualified due to bike took way too long to get started during first round of eliminations. Nut to clutch was loose, mechanical error. That sux. Hope to see some more next race. There was some 4mm running faster than the bigger motors.

Smoknbanshee · April 30, 2006, 06:33:55 AM

what times were the 4mm's running? fastest pass of the night was 5.76 from the snowmobile, that is flying....any 4 strokes runnig there? methy, did you run the 250r?

methyman · April 30, 2006, 11:51:19 AM

4mm were running 6.17 to 6.60 at 104 -101 mph. I ran friday night at TNT the quickest et ever of 7.47 at 87.91 mph. I ran yesterday at 7.56 at 86mph. There was a wind blowing from the finish line up to the start line. I raced knowing I wasn't going to win just to race and support the sport. I had a great time. There was 3 rounds of qualifying. That snow moblie was the fastest qualifier. The ACME 4 mm cub was #2 qualifier. The ACME racing team races alot at Lakeland Raceway.I gues I am going to have to finally step way up and build a Banshee which Jeff has been saying to me for the longest time. LOL

535banshee · April 30, 2006, 01:41:09 PM

well my bike is running hard. the final round chris had jayson three bikes off the line and then it happened, my bike went from 3 to 5. it was all over after that. we will get them next time. chris said he ran out of gear 50ft before the finish line when we ran the 5.92. this bike should 5.80's all day long. have a few thing to change for chris on the bike for next months race. 2nd not bad considering we fought a shifting problem all day. hope to see all you guys again next month, will have date for race soon

535banshee · May 04, 2006, 11:58:07 PM

i will have the date for our next race on friday. will post it then
