Had great weekend with the Liger, we radared everybody running and we had the same MPH as the fastest banshee so if we had had a great hole shot, the bike ran with anybody out there.
Got work on getting out of the hole better and a little faster reaction time, allot of jumping the gun happens in the dunes and the nephew is a little to honest :)

Looking good!
-
Man I wish I could have been there man, there is always next year.
-
thanks it was a beautiful weekend weather wise had a blast, its funny you can here Lindsay scream loud enough to be heard on the nephews gopro when the truck cut across the drag strip on the last race
no vids of the old guy racing, but I even pulled the stock 88 out there and whooped on a couple RZR XP 900's haha
-
Gonna try to get to silver lake in 3 weeks...Hopefully everything works out
-
Bike that impressed me the most was 880cc raptor on nitrous, he hung with us and even beat us a few times, fastest 4 stroke I have seen in silverlake.

I will be making a day trip on Sunday. In a couple weeks. Maybe I will see you up there.
-
looks like a lot of fun!!!!
-
here is a video of silverlake sand dunes, at 3.00 minutes in there is a quick shot of my bike but the whole vid is pretty cool to watch

-
Very cool videos, looks like a cool weekend.
When I was there a few years back that same dragstrip had not one puddle on it and was perfectly damp sand. Doubt i'll ever see it like that again
-
Running strong Dave. Was that Alex on his puma out there?
-
Yes Alex had his Puma running real good on Sunday, I was impressed!
-
That liger was hauling ass and I wondered if it was just me or if that group has some creepers. Hard to know how your doing out there when some people just seem to take off when they feel like it. That 3 wheeler does it the worst, lol. Awesome weekend though, cant wait to do it again in a couple weeks!
-
yeah, lots of guys creep at the line, you just gotta play the same game.
Glad the nephew has a gopro, now he can see how much he lines up behind them or lets them creep on him, nice guys finish last! :smug:
I remember talking with Matt Shearer in Litta Sahara, and one of things that impressed him the most was how everyone was good about not leaving until the flag dropped.
We should see you at Phils in a couple weeks, hopefully some other Honda's show
-
thought phils already happened and I missed it?
-
I heard the 15th
-
is it invite only again? have to ask morse
-
It might be, Chris Wheelman of Wheelman Chassis may know to, I will have to ask him.
-
As some one that lives in OK and has always gone to LS, I was surprised by not only the creepers, but also how much difference there was in where people choose to call "the starting line". Some of them were a full length ahead before they ever even started creeping. Cheaters! That strip seems kinda narrow to me too, but the scenery there is awesome. Great videos Dave.
-
strip was real narrow, this part of the dunes has not been raced on until 2 weeks ago because of standing water. The dunes have really sucked this year because of all the water and racing at another area near the beach that is very short,rough and rocky at the end of the strip.
-
I like the dunes too but this is just the reason I love the strip, you get busted every time if you cheat. You really know how you run against the guy next to you if its heads up. I cant stand that creeping cheating crap, how can you possibly feel good about winning if you cheated?
-
Yea Phil's is on sept 15th usually around 40 bucks a bike plus a rider fee. All depends on the turn out.
-
It is invite only, they want bikes 4.5 and faster. I had wheelman add me to the list.
-
I know the banshee runs 4.3's but im not sure on the puma but it seems to be right there with my banshee, so maybe. Morse said I should be good to go though?
-
sounds like it, not sure who exactly runs the event but I talked to wheelman
-
Yea ur good. They just don't want trail bikes and dumers there is all
-
Ill be there also..Phil's is always a good time.
-
sounds like we might have a good turn out for the Honda boys :)
-
May have to let you're nephew take a stab at jockeying my drag trike lol. What's he weighing in at?
-
he weights in at 150 but he wears riding boots and neck/body protector so that has to add at least 5 more lbs compared to the typical drag guys just in tennis shoes.
I think it takes a special rider for those trikes not sure he would take to it right away, but he rides a dirt bike so who knows.
-
Very true about the trikes. I'm at 170 lbs and still chasing that record for 0-380cc , but its hard to find a lighter jockey for the trike. If things go well at Phil's I may shoot for the pro sand race at sheltons ky. track to see what we can do. I believe it's still standing at 4.23..we're not far away.
-
keep chopping away at it, you will get there but you know like the old racers saying " it take 20% of your time for the first 80% and 80% of your time for the last 20%"
-
who holds that 4.23 record? was it franks old 295, I think that ran some 4.2's in gilbert a couple years back. I thought danas 370 went 4.1's too but maybe not a track on the list?
-
The current Pro sand drag association record is 4.23 from je motorsports out of Texas. Franks old record i believe was for planet sand not pro sand drag association and I think he also ran a nitro mix to get into the 2's which would not qualify for a record at a psda event.
