    Blaster makeover pics

    This is my 2000 Blaster that I had @ TF03(used to be blue/blk).It's almost ready for flat track racing.I got my new 30mm flatside carb today.LRD pipe will be here by the end of the week.Still looking for front tires,steel nerfbars,and some numberplates. I also used a tri-z axle and rear disc.the Z axle is about 4 inches wider than stock.Rear tires are 18x9.50x8 carlisles,purchased at walmart. The paint is isuzu claret red metallic.The struts were made by Crazy G Racing (Thanx Hagen) .The struts fit perfect,I only needed to add spacers in the rear on the bottom.

    I doubt it will make it up devils backbone.When I roll it out of the garage it clears the edge of the concrete by 1/2 an inch.It will take some time getting used to riding a rigid quad 3 inches off the ground.

    A few guys around here race w/ struts like these.I know its gonna be rough,but the track is concrete w/ no bumps.I havent rode it this way yet.If it doesnt work out on race day I'll go to plan B......I dont have a plan B yet.

    Hey Jim, I was just wondering what classes they run for flat track? Do they have a Blaster Class, or a 200cc class or something?

    Thanx for the good comments guys
    Brian, I didnt have a YZ250 motor layin around
    Tim Sr, the quad classes are novice,ametuer, and expert...and the youth class(up2 90cc) I will be competing in the novice class against raptors,trx's,EX's,banshee's 450's,polaris's etc. The track is very small,If i remember right a 240 blaster won the expert class quite a few times in previous yrs.
