Hi Darrell,

What we did to our RZR is started off by cutting off the front end making it out of 1' x .095 round chromolly. Yes, it still has all the original pick up points. Then added 1 1/2 x .095 chromolly cage. Everything is gussetted and done where frame was weak. Custom aluminum floor, sides blown out to fit us, moved RAD, fuel cell to back. Car weighs 1404 with 1/2 tank of gas, ready to race. Jerome weighs 250, I weigh 200. Almost 1900 & we still do 67 on GPS!

HPD Part List:
Clutch Kit, Exhaust System, Oil Cooler, Bored Throttle Body, Race Cam, Pistons / Diamond Honed, Custom Porting with valves, guides, valve spring set, push rods,

Thanks,

Dear Darell & Sue,

Well, its been about a 5 year long project so I thought that it was about time that I sent you a picture of my quad. It's a 1999 Polaris 250 Trailblazer that has HPD's Reed Conversion Kit installed. I can't tell you the number of people who can't believe that this is a modified 250 TB. It runs really strong from bottom to the top of its power band. My brother who has a 1999 Polaris 400 Sport that has for the most part a Trail Mod package installed can't believe that my 250 can run nose to nose with his in a 100 yard drag.

You guys have always been great and very helpful with any problems or quesions that I've had an I would like to THANK YOU.
I've enclosed photo's and a list of all the modifications that I've installed or can think of.

A satisfied HPD supporter,

TO EVERYONE AT HPD:

My name is Todd Olson. I own a 1997 Polaris 400 L Sport, that I have been drag racing for three seasons now. Prior to this last Saturday's race, I had run in three races in two years, and only won one heat race. I almost gave up because I was running in two classes at each race and had two practice runs at each that I never won against anything.

I am sponsored by two of your competitors, it is actually just a way for them to raise the prices, so then when you get your sponsorship discount you think that you're getting a good deal. But I heard about your company a week before the race, and ordered your cooling billet head that I'm glad I didn't waste the money on one from the other guys, because the most compression they have is 14:1,a nd you have the 15.5:1, and I couldn't be happier with it.

But anyway's, I had called your tech line, and Darrell did not try to sell me anything, which was kind of odd to me because I am used to your competitors. he told me if it was him, and he had a drag race three days later, as I did, that he would correct the belt-to-sheave clearance with fender washer, that I could purchase from a hardware store, and since I was running that much compression with a stock ignition, to gap my plug a lot smaller.

Well, needless to say, I followed this gentleman's advice, and raced from 12:00 in the afternoon, ad did not get done until 8:30 PM. Which at every other race, I was eliminated by approximately 3:00 at the latest. I actually took these guys to school with this thing. I tore up, among others a decked out 400EX, a 450R with pipe and other things a Banshee who actually has taken two 1st places, and a 2nd place in the seasons I had ran, at this track, and I had guys coming up to me, who I'd never met, just all geeked up about what I had done. Now it would be nice to say that I took a 1st place, although I didn't. I got eliminated in the finals by a nitrous injected Banshee, that the guy actually travels all over the country to race, ad has never lost at this track. But I have never raced with a tree light before, and my goal was to not red light. I was actually waiting until I seen green, to go. Also, I weigh roughly 200 lbs and as you know, these bikes are heavy, especially considering that my machine is 4-wheel drive.

But now I have a 3rd place trophy which to some people may sound like nothing, but to me, this trophy is make of solid gold! Thank you so much to everyone at HPD. You guys have a new customer for life!!

Sincerely yours,
Todd Olson

Darrell,

I ran last years motor with last years cylinder and this years intake, pipe, head and a new piston in my race chassis, It ripped in Bagley, with only 10 minutes on the motor. I won both moto's. I then ran it out in Larimore for two 20 minute moto's. It didn't even hic-cupp once. I smoked one of North Dakota's top riders. I was clearing this huge uphill jump landed on a rock and ripped the skid-plate right off the quad. Crowd was going crazy! Dogfight win first moto and a clear runaway second moto.

Thanks for all the support from everyone down your way.

HPD,

Have you ever seen a priceless smile?
Well guys, I wish you were there, the first time my son, Brandon, out-ran a Yamaha 660 Raptor, Cannondale 440 Cannibal, & Bombardier Baja 650.
Thanks to HPD, my son and myself have very special memories we will never forget.
You haven't ridden a true Polaris, until you have ridden an HPDized Polaris.

Forever grateful for your R&D,
Brad & Brandon Scarberry,

HPD,

Thanks for all of the help. When I had ordered the frame, I never thought that I would have it in three days. When it arrived on Friday, everyone was excited to see it and immediately decided for me that it needed to be running for the following weekend. Well, after a few hours of twisting my arm, I caved. I spent saturday and sunday trying to make a parts list. I was really pushed to do this to outdo a new competitor in town.

Monday, I ordered a lot of the parts and began taking all of my buddy's machines apart and try to make this happen. We made a lot of the stuff, which I am sure you know because you know what you've sent me. I never left the store till after 12 every night that week and friday night, we were there til 3.

We fired it up at about 5 o'clock saturday, took a few spins around the parking lot, brought it back inside, went over everything again. Eight o'clock that night, Timmy, the one racing it, got on for the first time and made some passes around the parking lot. We loaded it up at ten, and the boys headed to the race track.

We never would have had this machine running if it were not for the help from HPD, thanks again.

We did well at the track, but had some troubles with the shock and rear brake lever. Well anyway's, we definitely got a lot of attention at the track and I hope to get a few more people hooked on automatics. I plan on doing a lot more business with you once I can convince people it's the way to go. Four years I talked to you about this, as I was racing a scrambler at the time, and told everyone that it would be unbeatable. Well now it has happened and once we get this machine dialed in, I am sure that more people will want them.
