I'm 51 and grew up an avid ATC/ATV enthusiast, owning several machines including an ATC250R in my teens. At the time I was subscribed to 3-wheeler magazine and had pictures of ATC's and 4-wheelers all over my walls. It's awesome that you have all these great machines of that time period and doing this fun drag races etc and sharing the fun with this YT channel. You're son should be very grateful to have such a cool dad!!

The 350x is deceivingly quick being so smooth and quiet, probably the best all around three wheeler with that torque monster engine and less fussy maintenance than the two strokes, shifting was perfect!

A lot of great memories for me on our 85 350x. I loved drag racing against 250rs up Comp and Olds at Glamis back in the late 80’s and early 90’s and every now and then when I won, it was such a great feeling hahaha!

I have owned both of these machines at different times (3 blasters) and your blaster is running very well to hang with that 350 from what I remember. Although the reason that I owned 3 blasters is because their was a time when you could buy ugly ones that ran for 6 to 800 bucks. They all got new piston and rings, but they were well ridden before I bought them. I would always buy cheap running things just so a buddy who didn't have anything at the time to get divorced because of his new addiction. Scratch that. I meant to say; have fun too. At 54 and having rode most of those years, I really enjoy your channel's reviewing the power of these bikes against each other, having wondered about some of these stacking up over the years, and with having 3 sons myself, I really dig what you're doing as a father. Keep up the good works gentleman. Braaap, Braaap, Thump, Thump.

Beautiful old survivor that 350x. Nice! 👍🏻 I understand the 350x has the original tires, but if it had better tires on the rear I think the 350x would take the holeshot and never look back. Looked like a lot of wheel spin for the old 350 on the launch. I run Holeshots GNCC on my 250r as well as on the 350x. Awesome traction in the gravel. Little Blaster looks like a strong runner though, not taking that away from it. Cool video guys! 🍻🤘🏻
