  1. Awesome, glad everything went good for ya except for the cameras. Is he hooked?? I know thats a dumb question as it easy to get hooked once ya do it. And bein slow is in the first race is normal just wait until he is doin stuff that puts a big ole smile on your face and makes your butt pucker up...lmao

  2. Yeah the cobra is a badass bike, and if you were on a nationl level to where the sponsorship was there to help pay for it would be even better. I have read on those bikes though they are having trouble with them and there have been quite a few DNF's with them in the gncc races.

    For you gettin into the racing scene I would opt toward a Kasea or Eton. I don't know the rules out there or if you have set a cc size that you don't want to go over with your son for racing but the 50cc bikes with can be converted once he is comfortable with the racing to 70cc and both bikes can be modded to the moon if you want to.

    I really wish now in hindsight that I would have picked up a Kasea or Eton 90 for my son instead of the LT80 for the parts issue and also the big shops have kind of put the lt80 on the back burner for modding and such.

    I am kind of in the same boat as you on the bike deal as my son can ride the crap out of the lt80 actually he can over ride the 80 and is really ready for a Blaster, but here he cannot race the Blaster as he is to young. He loves the racing part so I guess the 80 will stay for a while longer and engine work performed.

    Sorry for rambling...lol and hope this helps, Chris

  3. I am a member of exriders.com it has a bunch of info but as most huge sites, it has the flamin crowd just waitin to post somethin stupid to take up bandwidth. I am a regular at 3wheelerworld.com mainly in the quad section and 3wheeler.org as that is the first atv/atc site I found when I started this venture and the site and people are cool. I like to go to atvconnection.com also because there is a group section and a big oklahoma club has originated there. I don't post there and when I have my questions rarely get answered so I post more at exriders and the post are usually questions regarding my sons lt80.

    I think this site is great, it is big and kinda hard to find stuff( i just figured out how to get to the chat room...lol) but I'm sure in time everything will get better and more people will show up/post/etc.....Chris

  4. Hey guys Destin raced tonight up in Kelleyville Ok just outside of Tulsa. There were a ton of mini's racin up there and the competition was tough. I signed him up in the oval race and all was good till we went out and looked at the track and they had a TT track set up. LOL once he saw the jumps on it he immediately said I wanna race that instead dad. So I went and changed and put him in the beginner 80 TT class. There were 2 different classes with 4 quads in each class in the heats and Destins class was the second to race. He got second in his heat race. In the main there was 8 quads and he got 3rd in the main recieveing a 3rd place trophy. Not bad I don't think being his first time on a TT track. I am very proud of him and it is time to start lookin for a trophy case...lol Anyways I got somemore pics and a video of the main for you guys to check out...Chris

  5. Hey guys, Destin my son, raced in his first flat track race for this season last night. He rides a 96 LT80. I had to put him in the youth 85cc mod class because of the pipe and clutch work. There was only him and another kid in the class and the other kid happened to be on a Blaster, don't know why he was in there, but as you will read it didn't matter. The heat race he was beat but no to terribly bad, the blaster beat him by a few bike lengths and I was impressed by the 80 to say the least. When the main rolled around, I told Destin to mash the throttle as soon as the flag drops. He did that, got the hole shot, and that was all she wrote. He lead the whole race for 8 laps and pulled away from the other kid and wiining the race. He got a good size first place trophy and he and I was ecstatic as you will see by the video. The video is dark but you can tell them apart, Chris
