What is your favorite kind of racing and why?

I really enjoy desert racing, or way point racing. This is the kind of riding I grew up doing. There is nothing like the feeling you get after finishing a 100 mile race. When you are out there it is you and the desert. You might find one line that you can hit 5 gear wide open, then the next turn you pick one that is 1st gear crawling through rocks. There is no groomed or marked track. You go however you want as long as you hit all the check points in order. I grew up in the desert so that's what I know. Now that I'm living in the mountains and woods I'm alot more interested in GNCC stuff. Lamo's don't have any racing circuits in Colorado.

I'm torn. I love MX and Harescramble racing equally...

MX: When you're jumping those killer doubles, or even tabletops, and you catch so much air, you get this feeling of freedom....and confidence, like hell yeah I jumped and landed that. Plus, people see the entire race from start to end....you get a lot of support that way...butt if you mess up, and crash, they all see that too.....which, actually if you need an ambulance, it's better to wreck in mx than gncc...:wink:

Harescrambles: The start doesn't really matter...you can have the worst start ever, but the race is atleast an hour and a half long, and people are bound to hit trees, get stuck in the mud, blow a tire, break parts..get tired and slow down...so you can usually catch up if everything goes smooth for you...the downside is, you're running 8-14 mile laps, and you hardly ever see people. And when you do see people, you get this little bit of juice in your bones and you sometimes make mistakes trying to show your skills.....not that that's ever happened to me or anything:biggrin:

idk rele what kind of racing it is...or even if they have it?

but like an open class...any kind of quad....woods racing?

idk that would be cool..

like you could custom build a bike?

idk

it would be cool.

What I think you're getting at is harescramble racing....the main series is the GNCC series...but nearly every state/region of the US has a series....we've raced the Mid-South Series here in TN, they race in TN, KY, IN, IL, AL areas...in May we'll start racin the WNYOA series in NY, most races are in NY, but some are in PA too.

As far as classes in harescrambles, you can race any size quad in any class...most are 400ex's or 450's....some people have 300ex's or the Raptors, but most series have an age requirement of 16 years, so most quads are the bigger cc models....and the races take place in the woods, some have good field sections too, but mostly you're in the woods for 1 1/2 -2 hours....

does that help?

I don't see who would care. They do make you put the number of cc's your motor is on the ticket that you sign up with...and they use the same ticket for all AMA sanctioned events, so, I'm not sure if there is a requirement as far as how big a motor can be...I'll see if I can find that out for you, but, the only thing they really test for at the race is the sound/noise that your exhaust puts off. If it's too loud, they'll sit you out races until you get it quieter...

**goin to search for the motor stuff now**

      The ATV Supercross at Daytona International Speedway once again proved to be a demanding and rough track that would fully test the mentality of riders in attendance. View the full article

      Heres my story. Kinda long. I guess I was a late bloomer when it comes to quads. I had never ridden a quad in my life. Rode Dirt Bikes as a kid growing up. Back in Oct of '06 I found a Mustang on craigslist. Took it for a test drive one morning before work. Fast car. 351 Cleveland. I had planned on meeting the guy again after work. For some strange reason thats still to this day beyond me, I stopped in Hillsboro MotoSports on the way home from work. I had 6 Grand on me. There was a left over '05 sitting by the front door. It was on sale for $4999. It was $5499 OTD. I didnt even look at anything else. I knew nothing about quads accept I thought it really looked coool and I had the money in my pocket to buy it. I was sitting on it when the salesman walked up and asked... "Can I help you?" Without hestitation I pulled 60 Ben Franklins outta my front pocket and said "I want this Quad. Load it up in my truck." It was just about dark by the time I drove away from the shop. BTW, I didnt bother to ask my ol lady if I could buy it. LOL. Anyway, I took it by the house and showed her. She was kinda stunned but not mad. We drove over to a friend of mines house and unloaded it. I took it to the field across the street from his house. HOLY CHIT!!!!! I was surprised by the power. I had it for about 2 weeks and took it to Sand Lake. I was there a few hours and rolled it on a banked turn at the top of the bowl right before you get to the one-ways. When it rolled, I flew off and landed on my belly. The quad came bouncing and landed on my back. For a month I couldnt even walk. I was scared of it. I considered trading it for a 250EX. Went back to the shop. The salesman said..."Dude!!! You dont want a 250EX!!! Trust me. Just get used to it" I still wasnt convinced. I put it on craigslist for $4000. Calls were coming in. I had a guy that wanted to come look at it that evening. I decided to take it for one last ride at Browns Camp before I sold it. I was still afraid of it. After about 5 minutes I started feeling comfortable on it again. I decided right then, I loved my Honda 450 and would learn how to ride it instead of selling it. That was late Nov of '06. Work was slow for a Painter in Oregon. My new job everyday? Going to Browns Camp and ridding my Quad. I bought my Girl Friend an '02 Blaster. I rode my 450 for 4-6 hours almost every single day for 3 months. And yes, I know my way around Browns Camp pretty well. LOL. In March I bought her an '06 TRX250EX (Thank God I didnt trade my 450 for one of those) LOL Since then, I have become totally addicted to quads. I love them. Couldnt imagine not owning at least one quad. Luckily I have two. My "07 was $6500 OTD in July of '07. Bought it for my Girlfriend. Traded in her 250 EX. A month later we broke up. So, I wound up with two Honda 450's.

      What are your riding location preferences? Mud Park? Personal Trails? Public Land?

      Hey all back again with my 1989 moto 4 250.
      After putting a new carb on it it's really sputtery, it has new gas and I'm wondering what to tune on the carb to make it idle better. I've attached a video to describe the issue more. The bike is still work in progress but I think the video gets the point across. Thanks!
