What a riot. I rode with 9 buddies last night in the, (deep announcer voice), OUTLAW QUAD WARS!!! at a monster truck show in Mobile, Al. The track was supposed to be dirt, but when we got there we found a polyurethane coated concrete floor with a thick coat of dried pancake syrup! something about the trucks not being able to turn, Don't ask, I don't know. It was kinda hard to break the tires loose but when you did you couldn't control it and spin, spin, spin. The banshees and 250r's seemed to have it the worst. The first heat had 2 stock warriors, a DS650, a 400ex, and mod banshee. The DS would have won but stopped for unknown reasons while a stock warrior crossed in first. The second heat had 2 250r's, a banshee, the cannibal and a stock 400. Again, the stock tired four stroke, 400 came in first. Without Nerf bars, I was just trying to stay out of the banging and come out unscathed. In the 15 lap main,with all 10 runnin, quads were spinnin all over but no real collisions til the 250r's took each other out in the 13th lap. After 3 laps, I couldn't get the 'dale to slide at all and pretty much 2-3 wheeled the rest of the way for a 4th place. The winner: bone stock 2001 Warrior. Dude was in quad heaven! The point of this whole story is that I GOT PAID TO RIDE! $50. That was great and it was a lot of fun. """
here's a pic of the main. I started 3rd row. LMAO

Woo Hoo!
We've done that here as well. It's a blast! The first one we did was on ice. 1500 sheet metal screws later, it was still squirrly. One of the 250R's ended up breaking a front spindle from a collision, that was the only damage. You shoulda seen all the spinnin' going on!
This last November, we did it on Coke syrup on concrete. That was fun also. It was supposed to be just for fun, but we were goin' at it! The Dale did good in this one. I put some Hoosiers on it and lowered it and it hooked up.
There is nothing like riding in a stadium full of people, not having to pay an entry fee and getting paid to ride! Man!!
