So as for the date, will it be Aug 12th then? Let's get it set in stone so people can start planning now and get their stuff in order ahead of time.

Aug 12th in stone, let's do it.

I myself prefer comp, but then again I'm not gonna be doing any serious dragging against anyone with my Craptor. Either works for me. I say we leave it up to the majority of the peeps that will be racing.

sounds good pete. once we figure out the day, we can figure out the hill.

Personally i like comp.. its steeper and more of a challenge.. Banshee hill feels too much like olds in glamis.. anyone and thier rhino can go up it..

either hill is cool, but i personally like banshee hill. comp is usually all whooped out and it is definitely steeper and more of a challenge but for drag racing i would say banshee hill. just my .02.

Good idea. The next full moon is Aug 9th on my calendar. The weekend after (the night of the 12th) might be a good date.

sounds like a plan to me.

Would it be just heads up racing or are you thinking of doing classes?

i think just line up against whoever and go heads up. classes would be too technical and might take the fun out of it.

I have some friends that run 2 different rental company's with those lights if you get a specific date I can check with them to see about loaning one out

sweet...do you have any idea what the prices are?

My only concern is Trash... This has been a HUGE issue w/ the group that runs out in glamis.. they show up in the middle of the summer to a pristine hill and TRASH IT.. both the hill gets wasted w/ them dragging on it all night... the Bottles, cans, and other assorted garbage that is left behind is retarded... I just dont want this to happen to dumont like it did Glamis. I know its a fun event and i have a good time every time i go out for the night races but the aftermath is sh*tty..

As far as the lights go.. does anyone here do construction they could just happen to borrow one from the company..

this was a big concern at the night drags a couple of weeks ago in glamis. they really got on everyone in the forums and according to the posts afterwards, it was really clean after this one. you will always have idiots who leave their trash afterwards, but you can't stop a fun event because of these guys. i will stay until the last person leaves to pick up trash if that is what it takes.

i would be down for it and i would help out too. i went to the last night drags in glamis and it was fun, but the hill sucked and it is a far drive.

Sounds good, Chuck. You know what my truck looks like right? Even though you won't be able to miss us. It's not like there will be that many people out there.

What will you be driving?

yeah i know what your truck looks like and i really doubt i will be able to miss one of the only other trucks out there.

my neighbor might be going too and if that happens we will probably be in my blue extended cab silverado, if not we will be in randy's silver crew cab colorado.

if i can get my lights working on my bike, me and Ocean03 will be out there late Friday night to get some night riding in and then stick around to ride with everyone for the morning ride. if not we will be out there about 5:30 also.

22nd is good for me. might be heading up to pismo on the 29th.

I myself am just taking the Raptor. The car is too much for just a few hours. Besides, last time we wet the razors were so steep I'm not sure I woulda had that much fun in the car.

i guess i am going to have to throw my front brakes back on for this trip

i may be down for that. i have been wanting to hit up dumont for a while now.

not that any one on here will likely be near this gas station, but in Hesperia, i found a goodspeed over the weekend where i bought VP110 for $5.20 a gallon. not to bad considering the price for 91. they also have sonoco for $5.02 a gallon.

i think the 2 and 2 set up is just fine.

don't forget to vote for me. :headbang:

whoa

thats the hottest yfz ive ever seen in my life!

thanks

looks fast, whats done to the engine? nice bike..

if you go to Dumont be apart of the "NO MERCY RACE TEAM"..youll see us out there dune season..Guys helping eachother and drag racing for sure

thanks, i have it ported by kbr/mixxer, a hc wicked piston, full kicker, and pug. i rode it for the first time with everything done at the night drags last weekend and it ripped. i can't wait for dune season. only a few more months left. i am sure i will see you out there and we can hook up and do some racing.

I grew up south of there in the Manhatten/Hermosa area.

I lived in that area for a couple of years too. awesome place compared to Venice. But Venice is definitely a place to go to get a few laughs.

Nice pics.

Your's and SandYFZ's are starting to look like brothers.

Nice bike. :headbang:

haha, thanks Pete :shocked2: .

It looks real good chuck but i liked it with the plastics on,atleast the fronts.How do you like that pipe?Did it give you a migraine headache

i am still debating about the plastics. a part of me likes it without, but a bigger part of me likes it with the plastics. maybe next time people see it, it won't be naked.

that pipe is loud as hell. i feel sorry for the guys to the right of me. i have to mess with my jetting a bit and get it dialed in for that pipe, other than that i like the performance of it.

some recent pics of the bike...

I was out there with triplejadogg and his cousin Craig. It was hot but not unbareable. We were at Banshee Hill all day Saturday.

I looked up Laegers, nice frames, but way too high for my blood. I found frames on ebay for $695.00, but no papers. Laegers is a manufacturer, so I think they have no problem getting their stuff registered.

If your going to get a new frame I heard that if you powdercoat it pink it adds 5hp.

Sweet YFZ Chuck.

I like the shaved fenders.

Very clean.

I'd like a Quad again.

I've always liked Yamaha. Because my Banshee and my Superjet.

A buddy is selling an 04' trx450r Honda tricked to the max for cheap.

Is that a good Quad?

I've been out of the Quad loop for a while.

Like da_burgh said, any 450 is awesome. If you can get a good deal on a Honda go for it. I still prefer my Yamaha over the other 450s, but that is just me.
