Pics by Nukem!

I am uploading for him I will let him tell the story.

Just some pics I took while up at Walden Colorado a couple of weekends back with Jerry(Drakman), Eddy (SPCLED1), Eddy's boys and a few other friends. My son ran my old 350 around while I ran around on the trike. Eddy had alot of jetting trouble with the LT 500 Pilot but most people do at 8500 ft! LOL

Ok what about the nitros?

I do not know what you are talking about?????? LOL


I was just sizing up places to put it and that looks to be the best. It is going into the 420, just incase I need that little bit more for those peskey Draks. That should get Jerry to speak up! LOL

OK, that sounded like a challenge, so let's race!

Hoser and I found the perfect track when we were out at Glamis early this year. It goes from Gecko Road to Gordon's Wells, it is about 10 miles or so long. The winner will be the first one to complete a round trip. You can have whatever pit stops or refuel stops you feel you need. If I go flat out, I will not make a round trip with out some gas, if I go slow and stay back with you, I can make it round trip without a problem. Bet is $100.00 and bragging rights.

I knew that would work! LOL Sounds like a good race to me, but after I get my own Drak. I'll end up on my roof again in a 350..., but that never stopped me before huh? LOL

That one Ike has would make a good race, it was built to run.

I will be there over Halloween, remember I said first one to finish a round trip.

24 miles not 10, you towed me back 14 miles

You install it their so you can take a hit off the bottle without having to unstrap and get out? hehe

Think again about placement... if that bottle was their what part of your body would have hit the bottle when you rolled at Dumont? That crash has me reevaluating my Pilot and all its mods after seeing what inertia did to your radiator.

How is the 420 everything that was bent is now straight , cylinder sleeved or you just running as is(I lost track), O ring problems solved? If its eating O rings still I would go for a better studs those have to be stretching enough to let the O ring see the flame for it to burn or the deck and the head is not flat, remember them studs are elastic and will stretch then return when not under load, you see any seepage around the base of the cylinder or those studs holding? Modified Polaris 400 quads had head and cylinder problems that why they made that after market girdle to hold them in place maybe the 420 needs the same, I think that head gasket problem has been going on before you and that's why its on its last bore, they never fixed the problem and kept feeding it pistons I doubt someone wore out all them bores..

Yes, you are right, that was a true 'sand hiway'!

Now I am certain I can beat 'roll em' regardless of what he is riding since he will need time to put it back on it's wheels at least a couple of times.

Nuke em...
You are famous...

Wonder who posted that up? It wasn't me!

Is it an open invatatin to the DRAK 24 or is there a qualifier's, I enjoy a sand sandwich. If so what the date I'll see If I can get ready in time. If not I'll supply the refreshments and tow vehicle

Ted and I are heading out to Glamis (actually La Quinta with the wives, Glamis will be a side trip) the week of Halloween. There is supposed to be a big gathering of Drakarts the weekend of 27-28th. There are sure to be some really fast machines and drivers out there that will make us look slow. Alain is known to race the big blown V-8 cars with his Tornado, with him and others, this should be a sight to behold. After we booked La Quinta, we found out that Halloween is one of the four busiest weeks at Glamis, so, there is likely going to be 50 to 100 thousand people out there.

Eddy and I have been talking about the new place in Syracuse, Kansas and Little Sahara, Oklahoma the third week of September. Gather mid week and ride thru the weekend. In addition to the Tazcar, he now has a long travel Pilot with a 500 in it. With those two machines, he is the one to beat, or watch if you can't catch him. I don't know for sure, but Garrett with the 660 turbo Drak may also be there.
