Those were Simpler times before a lot of people got too serious about worrying about what others were doing. Although as i remember a lot of ego and hp related trash talk got you in some hot water after that first drag race.

Yeah but you gotta admit. It was fun. Honestly now days, as long as it will do 25, climb over an ant-hill, and crank when I turn the key, I'm happy.

Tell all That you jumped in on that little race & yellow was going to win. You just did't & don't get it!
Your mind must be getting crusty..........We started 3-abreast. Heads-up. More than once. There was one when I "jumped-in" behind you and yeller and could have pushed both of you, but I'm too nice to do that. Maybe that's the one yer thinking about....When I get beat ,at least I'll admit it..............

You still don't get it ! Yellow was going to win ahead of me everytime. You did not run me one on one. So tell it like it was. That is the problem, you are full of yourself. Come back anytime, I will remove all the weight & you can show a new video!!!

I ran ya'll two on one..I would have smoked you by yourself or with Nick,,,,,,,,,What does that matter??? Would the wind have made a difference???? You lined-up....You lost....... Just do the right thing, admit it, and this will be done. You can't do it tho...............I'm sure in your mind, you can outrun a RZR too right??? Take your bed off and loose 1200#s you'll still loose..............I have not mentioned, or said anything about you , find the post, in two years. Your buddy Smith called you the instant I posted the vids.................You are a prick who ate dust, my dust.............get over it Barney.............

As memory's go, i must admit Pate has it right. His red rhino was not even close to being beat that day. All others including me in my arctic cat 650 were in every race out at the flats that day.

No, no it was stock.....................
Really, at the end of the day,I don't want any hard-feelings with anyone. But if you line-up, be prepared for the outcome. I was asked by a future motor-builder, who's name I won't mention, what was the best way to do it, I answered. I could tell his ear was being peed-in. I'm not "Mr.Know It All" and never have claimed to be. I built MY motor with MY hands. The only thing I outsourced was the bore-job. So I take pride in MY work, not something I paid someone else to do. And Thanks Gunny for stepping-up and telling the truth. It was what it was.
The whole Mr.-Z thing...........I'll be honest, he started off on the wrong foot with not only me, but quite a few folks on that first ride with his stump-speech about how if he caught anybody drinking on the ride he was going to call the sheriff and "Haul us off" the mountain..........We are all adults, that's our choice. He ran off at turns and left us behind wondering which way several times, him and bunny-rabbit..... Not the best at guide I've ever been behind. I guess he wanted to prove how fast he was...........He'd sit at rest-stops and rev-up those horrible-sounding duals he had like they were just "Great" "Wow listen to the horsepower"...........Sorry, duals on a single-cylinder= all you put in, you loose with those.........and that goes with Muzzys too Smith. Good luck with that.
I'm done.

Well that dont mean much too me, cause i was the guy he left at more than one turn. I was the one everyone got pissed at cause i took the wrong turn thinking it was the way he went only to lead some 15+ machines down a dead end trail that took us awhile to get everyone turned around. I dont drink so his threats did not worry me, but i sure dont need no hall monitor wanna be telling me how to behave in public. But all this speed stuff is all way past us these days, his built rhino couldn't outrun a stock rzr on its best day so there is no need to even worry about who beat who several years ago.

No, it was Z in front, then Pate, then Gunny. It was pate that had left you behind.
