In side by side sand drags with basically stock engines (Pipes and reeds) I pull a little in 2nd, 3rd a little more, 4th going going, 5th GONE  8-)
Rolling drag in 2nd or 3rd you'll just walk away.
Don't get me wrong, CR500's are fast... but green is king  :-D

yeah green is king  8-)...
  in my last race at september 21.  my 360-engine destroied the head-gasket in the first 5 practice laps and soaked the cooling liquid... so i took my good old 83 kx250 for race and battled down a 84 cr500 .. the track was deep sand with many long straights, so it was very hard work and i had to be faster out of the corners to get him...  3.overall of the day and at least second in championchip with only 10 points behind the champion...  :-) for next year i try to find a good used 87, 88 or 89 kx500 for the evo-class..
