Nivala Grass drag "test day race", Finland

My brother SamueLJackson took the old vmax-4 for the first time on grass. After some test and tune at our grandparents fields 2 weeks ago, he was ready to make the 4 hour car ride to Nivala last saturday (after a hard night at work).

He placed 4th in the stock 800 and 3rd in the open fuel after turbo cat and yammie. Best time what he ran was 6.29 / 134kmh (83mph) 500tf. No traction products were allowed. Not bad for the old dinosaur. Special thank´s for Yammiegod Tony for his tips and help. :clap: With his help a stock Apex´s are appetizer, XP Lynx and Doo´s with Cat Crossfire 8`s are the main course. It is mind blowing that all of those 2-strokes are really so much lighter than the old Vmax, but can not beat it. They trade wins on the 500 ft race evenly.

Racers were amazed how good the old V4 can hang with the new iron. Some even thought that motor had to be "on juice" to ran that good. Sled has just over 10000 km´s on it and has never been opened so stock as stock can be. Even the special made Wiseco pistons what I have are still on the package.
