The thing about the ltr is that it is good at getting the power to the ground. Its just easier power to handle, to me anyway, and that helps getting traction and getting going off the line.
If your quad hooks up good out of the hole, it makes the riders job a lot easyer. at the 07 spring ride my Speed with the only mod being a HMF was giving everybody a hard time. (I think Kdeal even made a statement that I might have been holding back on admitting how much my quad was modded) The best I could say is the tracktion was not real good and the lower HP and luckily haveing the right tire pressure was my advatage.
At silver lake My sons moto was eating me up out of the hole, until my makeshift spark arrestor fell off and I had to go back to the stock can. and I still haven't figured that one out yet
Another thing is that skill has a bigger part in dragracing than most people beleive. IMHO i would say that the Holeshot takes the most skill but shifting within your powerband is very important aslo. Another great skill is being able to tune out your competitor. from sikeing you out to things as little as having a louder exhaust.
I've said it before, Dragracing is not a way of determining which quad, motorcycle, car or truck is better faster or even have the most HP. And switching drivers dosen't help determin it any better. But it is fun and even more fun and fun for a longer time if you are the one Winning. So give the rider some (the most) credit.
