I was at my local Polaris shop today. Trading in my raptor for the new Outlaw 525 !! :grin_nod: NOT!! Any ways, the owner has a really fast drag quad. (banshee frame with a polaris twin 750cc). He's getting out of dragging for top speed. He's building a 1200cc triple motor for the banshee frame. Dyno speed at his shop was 198 mph. He trying to brake the current record holder that is a RAPTOR 700r @ 150 mph!!!

Im not worried about it, it might do 198 on the dyno but thats all its good for. once it gets to the flats im sure it will fall apart. :grin_nod:. That guy is brave for trusting his life with a polaris

I wouldn't ride it unless it's wheelbase was about 5ft wide and 10 feet long! :lol:

I hope he gets some video so we can all see the thing blow up when he runs it wide open.

Not a good organ donor.

His organs would be worthless at that speed.

I was surprised that the Raptor holds the record!! :crazy: Of coarse no other manufacture can beat it...

 

[Flynbyu]

It has a Polaris snowmobile engine.

No, the record holder is Rocket Man Terry Wilmeth on a Raptor the motor is the 700r with rocket assist. The Polaris motor is going to try and bet it.

I know who that guy is, I thought he was up in the 125-130mph range though.

NEW ATV SPEED WORLD RECORD
149.45 MPH

Also New Women's Speed Record set by Natalie Wilmeth at 127.9 MPH

IMO a relatively easy record to challenge due to the low-hp machines they used.

I remember seeing the post a few months ago. I thought 198 sounded WAY too high.
