After many months and countless hours of lost sleep (not to mention arguments with the wife)  . . . . The old LT250R Quadracer is up and running! I know it's been 20 years since I rode something like this, but this thing HALLS BALLS!!! I was riding it the neighborhood and the front end would come up by just blipping it, in 3rd gear!  Needless to say, I'm very excited and am looking forward to meeting you guys on the tracks and trails. First up is a trailer, but looks like I'm gonna need some flattrack equipment soon. Anyone got anything laying around???  I wanna give a big shout to QUAD32X for all his help! I know you guys are always picking on him, but he was a great help in this project. And an all around great guy!  Take Care, KEith |

I can't wait to see some pictures of that LT250R. I have always loved those bikes, they handle awesome. I wish I still had mine. Quad32x is a super cool guy, hanging out with him at the tracks is one of the things that makes racing so much fun. I hope he gets his LT500R on the track soon, I think some people are gonna be in for a surprise..  |

I look forward to him handing some people their a$$es when he gets that Zilla running. If I had to pick a fat old mullet headed goofy guy as a hero it would without a doubt be Quad  |

DebateThis, I remember a race not to long ago in Valdosta where a little LT250R was doing just fine racing against the 4-strokes. Maybe you didn't see this yet.
Those LT's are good bikes too, Thomas needs to bring his out and let his results speak for themselves. |

I can't wait to see the Crooked Man run that LT of his. I know it had some issues. Last time I saw that thing run it got spanked by my almost stock DS....it wasn't a pretty site. Quad tells me it's in much better shape to take on challengers now.

That's funny but true, LT's do sound like a swarm of bees when the throttle is pinned all the time. |

Keith, I was doing some testing for Thomas while my 250R was down. That is an awesome bike, I really enjoyed racing it. I have thanked Thomas for letting me do so many times, now HE needs to put that one up front. |

Yes, That is Thomas' bike out there. We threw on some extra parts we had laying around and some 8 year old tires in the back.........We figured what the heck, nobody expects this bike to do anything anyway, I just wanted to see if I could work out some bugs and get the bike to run decent..........Mission Accomplished!! Those LT's handle extremely well, (that is obvious from the video.....not trying to be redundant), and no bike can challenge them in the turns. The 2 guys that tried went off the track trying to follow me and the rest just got outrun by the LT's superior handling. |
