    nice job billy.keep representin.it's good to see ya mixin it up with the quads.since this is a 3 wheeler site,everyone likes to talk how trikes are better then quads.but racing against them is a very sobering reality.all though you can be competetive,your skill level has to be much higher then theirs.those four strokes pull hard coming outta corners.that and they take less body english to ride,which means they tire slower then you.
    So true. Skill level, wear and tear on the rider, etc all take a toll on you.
    The quads have a much easier ride. The 4 strokes pull hard on the ice just like the dirt. They can run taller gears and pull the straight in one gear on a short track. I do it too, but often ride the clutch 1/2 way through the turn to keep the revs up. I may have to get a new powerband to keep up. I'm thinking the blue one.

    Hey Billy, it looks like if you square off the turn, you may be able to take extreme inside line of the turn at the apex with some dirt to slide into the sticky stuff as you exit the turn. I didn't race it, so I can't speak, but am curious if you think that's possible.

    I think it might be possible Chris...the only thing is the track people run the cones so far out, almost half way in the track. The reasoning I heard for this is its so the quads do not pickup the loose stuff from the inside and bring it into the middle of the track for the cart guys to run on.
