Default Completely Useless Dumb Race

Just wanna share that today, in complete bordom, I raced my friends 2008 Yamaha Raptor 700 4 wheeler in my 99 Cobra. We started from about 15 mph and ran 1/4 of a mile, I put a about 2 or so car lengths on him before I hit the breaks well shy of the end of the quarter as I was starting to pull well on him. I ran with the traction control off, and was suprised as to how fast that thing was, I'd like to get me one now. He stayed pretty close till about 45, after that it was an easy win, but I held the lead the whole time. What's funny though is he thought it would out run my Cobra, 4V Cobra FTW

Like I said, useless stupid race, but intersting none the less. Oh looked it up, a 700 Raptor weighs 650lbs and has 40 wheel hp. My buddy weighs 125 lbs. My 99 has a solid rear axel, probably weighs around 3500 lbs give or take a little. I weigh 140lbs, and guesstimate my 99 has approx 290 rwhp.

The two of you should race over to McDonalds and have a couple of cheeseburgers. Don't you people eat in LA?

I'm 150lbs... at 5'8" I don't think eating cheeseburgers to get fat makes any logical sense? Unless they are 6+ ft tall those seem to be heathy 'normal' weights.

125 pounds???? Wow. I used to weigh 170ish and am 6 feet. People used to mock me for being so skinny. Granted, I went to school with a bunch of fatties. Now I weigh 190 and am still smaller than most of the men I encounter. Hell, Im smaller than most of the woman too, lol.

Was your buddy running on the pavement, or was he in a field on the side of the road or something? ATVs can be scary on pavement...
