Do you race? Or just ride for fun?

[wheeler0801]

Bot, that was almost as sweet as the vows my husby read to me that he wrote on our wedding day...

Hey, is that something you to are going to do? You totally should.....

Anywho, LilDaisy...soon enough you'll be done, and much more satisfied with what you have...and even more excited to ride because you put so much time in....

TB: STAY OUT OF TROUBLE:aargh:

Kristin...I thought I was lucky with my honey, you seem to have found you a good one too...lifted truck or stupid car.

[Stoopidbot1]

[Shamanna]

Yes it actually is pink sand! I love it.

[wheeler0801]

how awesome. i want to go sooo bad now.

[Shamanna]

You should defiantly check it out. I just got back this weekend. Of course I had a blast... I was riding everyday!

[wheeler0801]

awwwww lucky duck. i was racing all weekend....not a good weekend for me, crashed wayyyy to many times and busted my front bumper in half.....

=[[

[Shamanna]

Ah man. That sucks major booty. How long have you been racing?

[wheeler0801]

I've been riding about almost 2 years...last summer I raced in a mx/sx series in Kentucky...now we live in NY and I'm racing in a harescramble series.

So, I've done a little bit of everything.......and I'm still learning. Andddd I'm having a blast doing it all!!!

[fox300exchic]

Im not really sure how the whole racing thing works. Does it cost alot to race?

[wheeler0801]

yes. and no. if you don't break much then not tooo much, when you break a lot, it costs a lot.

with two of us racing, it gets pretty expensive, and now that gas prices are higher...here's a breakdown of what we will spend this weekend, we leave Saturday afternoon, camp Sat night and race Sunday:

*Diesel in the truck to get there: $100 bucks roughly

*Gas in the wheelers to race: $40 bucks....yea, I can't believe it's that much either. Just to ride it costs that much.

*Food/drinks for the weekend: $50 bucks or so

*Gate Admission: $14 bucks ($7 bucks a person, but...this goes up at National events)

*Race Admission: $50 bucks ($25 a piece, this also goes up at Nationals)

So race weekends we spend about $200 bucks....

but....that's not including anything thats broken or just general maintenance. We both just busted our bumpers and got new ones from PRM, we've found they really do last the longest, but spent $235 bucks on two of them....my husband needed new swing arm bearings this week...that's another 50 bucks...and now last night when we were getting things ready we found the swing arm is cracked so we're going to have to buy one of them now.

SO, it does get expensive....but, at the same time, we don't go out and eat, we dont go to the movies, we dont go partying on the weekend. All the money most people spend on that kind of stuff goes towards racing for us. It's what we love

Someday maybe you'll see one of our names in the magazinesssss!!! Ohh..and I forgot to mention, sponsors help. Even if they give you just discounts on products, it really helps, you'd be surprised how much 50% off on goggles makes a difference. Anything helps.

I am still interested in racing, but I have to get this knee healed first and formost, ugh but this list helps alot too, thanks wheeler
