Dirt Days of Summer - Lake Elsinore, CA

[SHOCKER]

Damn, i wish i went, that sucks brett, haha atleast ya stayed out of the sun, so exactly where and what did they do to the track?

[Tastykake Kid]

C'mon Shocker, what REALLY happened? Spill it. Inquiring minds wanna know.

Hey socallen85, sorry you were bakin' w/ no shade. We definitely would've invited you over to hang out with us but didn't know you were there. I had my enclosed trailer & EZ-Up with plenty of shade to spare. And that offer stands for the future rounds too.

Ya, the track was changed up a little bit. Shocker, that double that you finally got to clear has been extended another 10 - 15'. I didn't like it at first but once I got it dialed in I LOVE it. It's now a 4th gear double for me, similiar to the one at El Cajon MX WHICH, I'll be at tonight.

I had 13 bikes on the gate for my race. Poor starts both moto's but finished 3rd overall. It was fun. Looking forward to the next round.

The Pro Class was light. Only 4 Pro's. Dustin Nelson (SP?) easily won both moto's by almost 45 seconds. This guy is so fast!

[SHOCKER]

sick, is the double harder to clear? is it an actuall double? i want to do it, so exactly how big do you think it is now? my dad said he though it was 50' i think its more like 40' i dont know what do you think? i want to do it when the next race?

[Tastykake Kid]

I asked around 'cuz I'm not so good with those guestimations and several people thought it to be around 50' now. Is it a real double? Well, not really. It's more like the old "Pace Peak" jumps that they had at the stadiums in the 2000 & 2001 seasons. Sort of like a table top but with the take off ramp MUCH higher than the rest. You don't HAVE to clear it but it sure is a lot smoother (& faster) to clear it. I go around that berm turn in 3rd pinned, grab 4th as I go over that small table top hump/jump and stay wide open right up to the face of the jump and then coast off it. It's (as you younger folk like to say) SICK! Aim was there takin' some photo's and I was doing some look-backs at her. That's as far as the tricks go for me. I was just thrilled to be clearing it.
Oh ya, the table right after that big double is now a single to table. It's not too hard though. There's another one of those on the back stretch too. Fun, fun track.
I could go on & on and tell you about the Alba Z470 I rode during practice... but I won't. I'll make you wait a little while.:p

[SHOCKER]

:eek2: sick, i like that step up/triple after the table after the big double, oh and when i hit the big double i hit it in 4th anyways,

:grr: :rolleyes: i wanted to test ride the z470 so bad, you moofer:mad: so tell me i cant hold it in, :blah: did cory hove bring it up? is he or whoever braught it going to take it to the next race :D

[socallen85]

i did not like the new double only cuz the landing is so small, out of like 55' i had to hit this 4' space, on a newer bike cake, but with my 87 stock blown out shocks, and so many people crashing i pussed out but i know i can do it,plus i wasnt gonna go for it when i had a 30 sec lead, next race im stayin for practice

and after the finish jump they took out the burm it was a slow flat u turn sucked

[SHOCKER]

what a rip off, they took out the berm, what about the rythm section? was it easier or harder to do? i mean when i came off that berm and i took that inside double i landed on the top each time, thats very interesting,

hey brett whens shawn going to be back from his gay cruise with wes ;) are you and him going to el cajon on monday night? he said he didnt have football and wanted to go

[SHOCKER]

:huh where is everyone?

hows the bike coming along brett? hey are you and shawn going to lae elsinore on the 7th to race again? i think im gonna go to the race and not the practice at el cajon :blah:

[socallen85]

[SHOCKER]

Hey dufass when is shawn going to be back, im still holding him on his word, he said he has no football practice this week so we can go to el cajon, i just tried calling his cell and your guys's house and no one answered, so ill try tonight

[socallen85]

well dufas i just got home Shawn wont be home till tuesday, but he will go on SAT racing or not i got to build my stem tommorrow or next what time will you be at El Cajon maybe ill come over after work

[SHOCKER]

um im not sure, i think probably around 5:30

[clark]

What did you guys thing of El Cajon last nite? We told them it needed some help, and they are fixing it right now. They are shortening up the middle jump from 96 to 90 feet, and making it more of a true step-up. They are also making a longer run to it, after a small double. My company rented the track on friday for our customers, so I'll get a chance to try it out then. Are you guys going to elsinore this weekend? I think I'll go, I've never raced there. Talk to you guys soon, come say hi if you go to elsinore, I'll be #12 on a white yamaha

[SHOCKER]

hey i was at el cajon last nite, i like the track but i didnt like the way they had it set up, i couldnt clear that table i think it was like 60' i only got like 45' on it, and then that ste-up double before the whoops sucked to because ya had to turn right after it, and the table after the whoops is almost impossible to clear on a quad and the section after that table, other wise the track is pretty good, ill still go there i just hope they change it up, i wish they would make that big jump into a 90' table instead of a step-up,
oh by the way i was on a whtie Z400 with race cut fenders, #71 i had no jersey on just a white shirt, i was one of the slow people

and im going to elsinore this weekend, ill be driving up in a black ram 1500 with a shell and a huge white trailer with my Z

oh and what company do you work for?

[montyjcm]

The el cajon track sounds like it is a sx track more than a mx track. I think that is why it sounds so hard for quads.

I am going to elsinore this sat! Only for practice after the races though. Maybe I will see some of you there.

Josh Shawn just got back and he comin on SAT

[SHOCKER]

Yeah i just had practice with Wes, Wes told me to ask shawn about Roberto or something like that, ask shawn or call him roberto :devil: oh and is shawn going to race? i told Wes he should race but he has no money and he took his front end apart for no reason :rolleyes:


oh and el cajon is a dirtbike track, its not easy, im really glad i got a skidplate though, it looks like i droped my bike on some huge arse rocks, damn my skid plate is pretty messed up but its holding up great few chunks out of it and huge dents and scratches, most of them from el cajon, but it is doing great

[clark]

I have raced a little here and there, not a lot, usually just practice at El Cajon, and do a few big races like the national, and g.p.'s and stuff. I havn't done any ITP this year, just the last round last year. The last race I did was vegas to reno. I'll cruise up to Elsinore this weekend though

[SHOCKER]

so are ya going to race at elsinore? i love elsinore so much better than el cajon alot easier on the bike to

[montyjcm]

So, what time does practice go to after the races? The same as noramal? What time does it start? Thanks.

[socallen85]

they will have practice after the racing is over and untill dusk when the park closes.

Josh, Shawn is working this weekend ill be up there probly with someone else, i dont know

[SHOCKER]

yeah right after the races they also water the track so about20-30 minutes after the races the track will be open to ride on,

oh and if ya come during the racing its only $10 to get in :blah: instead of $20

ha shawn has to work, tell him im calling him a loser, who ya going to bring? :confused: is levi and cody going to race again? levi is fast, depending on how many people are in my class i might race in your class :blah:

[socallen85]

you cant race in my class anymore there is no more open class, there is a 2stk C and a 4stk C, but we had more 2stk last race maybe they will go back?:confused:

[SHOCKER]

ill push my bike around going ring-ding-a-ding-ding-ding, braaaaa

i think ya are scared ;)

[montyjcm]

Ok, cool. I will be there around 4ish, maybe earlier.

[SHOCKER]

the race will probably end at 2:30, i didnt go last time but alot of people i know did and they said there wasnt many there, and i think the races ended at 2:30, it is gonna be pretty hot so im not expecting alot of peeps there

[montyjcm]

Are you talking about the race or practice? Cause it starts to cool down later in the afternoon.

[SHOCKER]

the races wil end around 2:30 then they water the track then practice starts, im not sure but i think it is $10 to get in anytime of the day since its a race day

[montyjcm]

Cool, maybe i will save some money!

[montyjcm]

BTW shocker, how long are you going to be staying after the race?

[SHOCKER]

im notsure, depends if my parents feel like sitting in the heat, i have to feed my friends dog also because they are on vacation but im going to feed ut before we leave in the morning but im gonna try to get atleast a couple laps in after the races

[montyjcm]

Ok, maybe i will try to get there a little earlier.

[montyjcm]

Shocker, is the $10 just a spectator fee, or is it a practice fee? I thought that racing was like 35.

[socallen85]

Gate fee $10,
Practice $20,
Members $20 or $5 day pass

Racer entry $35

get there earlier, last time we got done at 1:30-2

[montyjcm]

Thanks, socallen.

Sorry for sounding like an idiot AND being redundant, but would i have to pay a gate fee and practice fee (30) or just normal 20. Thanks agian.

BTW, I had surgery today, so I am a little out of touch . . :D ;)

[SHOCKER]

hey brett Wes said shawn gets his license next week and he gets your old beater yota :blah:

I would try to get passed the gate by only paying $10,
i pay $10 dollars cuz i come during racing, its not like i go back to the gate andpay $20 to practice after racing, no i just hit the track try to come earlier, worse case is yur payin $30 i doubt it im sure it would be 10-20,

i cant find anyone to go with tommorrow i dont want to go alone :(
Josh check yur PMs

[Duncanracer]

i'll be there tomorrow hanging out with the bigkidracing.com crew...gonna take some pics, and then practice on my friends yfz450....

[SHOCKER]

and tell bigkidracing to take lots of pics of me because im going to get some :blah:

[montyjcm]

Well you guys are probably already there, but I hope that you stay for practice! I am going to be there around 4pmish. In a green dakota.

[SHOCKER]

Sorry man i couldnt stay, during practice before the races i crashed off the 50' table bent my steering stem really bad, so bad when i take the front wheels off the ground it is still really hard to turn, plus i messed up my shoulder and my bike doesnt idle, it runs fine but doesnt idle :huh

otherwise everybody had a good day except for brittany :blah: we dont know what happened but people are or have said that her lower left ball joint broke during the turn, but i think it happened when she got all squirly and landed left wheel first, i dont know but she got to race her dads cannondale, some one needs to tell her that the key has to be on to start the bike :blah: haha

brett took 2nd against a 400ex and 2 yfz450's,

i didnt get to race :mad:

and tastykakekid did the finish line triple :eek2: he was so far in the lead that he kased the finish line triple and his seat fell off, he stopped picked up the seat and put it back on and went off, and still had a half a lap ahead of them
:rolleyes: i think he cheats oh and he got 1st

[socallen85]

josh you need a life only been home for a little and yur already online, i should have known.

and it was 3 YFZ's and a Lobo 440 EX, hey i did my best with what i had

Sorry Montyjcm i got done at 11:45 and i was beat, probly next time

[SHOCKER]

what ya talking about you are on to, i was posting on zcentral about stock or aftermarket steering stems, alba only carrys roll design 2 steering stems and they are like $350 :huh hell no i sure aint spending that much on a stem i dont know hopefully i can get a aftermarket +1 off of zcetnral used for a decent price, if not im just going to get a good stock one off of there

[Duncanracer]

i have some video i'll be posting soon, so if you happen to be in it, then you are one of the lucky ones i video taped...



and britneys quad is f***ed up...

broke the lower left ball joint, and broke the spindle on the right side where the tie rod attaches to it...

[socallen85]

yur tellin me, Jason and I had to carry it out of the rythm section, the front end wouldnt move what so ever,

what race did you film Shaun?

Josh ill find out about the stem on tues when i go back to work.

[SHOCKER]

hey i think im going to make my own stem, i think if i can re use the bottom part where the tie rods connect and it bolts to the bottom i will just drop in a new piece of tubing that has a thicker wall, and that way i can have a +1 and then ill just make my own plate for the top for the bar clamps to bolt to, and then gusset the upper plate and lower part, i think it should be pretty easy, i have to take out my oil tank and radiator to even get the tank out, do you think it should be pretty simple, i have a good idea on how im going to do it, its prety hard to explain but its the best, i think that i will just cut off the round tubing from the top to the bottm, then re use the bottom section where it bolts up to the frame and tierods, then i will bolt the bottom to the frame and everything, and then drop in a piece of round tubing and clamp it and then tack it with the super duper flux welder and then spin it, it should be perfectly straight :huh hope ya got that, but i think it should work and be straight

[montyjcm]

That sucks about your steering stem shocker. That 50ft. table is killer. I never tried to clear the whole thing. The landing is soo small.

I like the track how it is now, though. It is really fun. I got some video footage of practice that I will try to get up later, if my computer lets me. My bro was owning that setup- double at the far end of the track.

[SHOCKER]

yeah the one out of the corner? that one and the one befoer it are my favortie jumps, they feel good to clear them and dont hurt to bad when ya kase them, actually since my race when i had my 20" rear tires i hit those jumps in 4th and still couldnt clear them and during practice this past saturday i hit them in 3rd with my 18" rear klaws and cleared them easily, the whoops are alot better now, i also like the table after the straight away,

oh and here are some pics of the damage, i found out my radiator is bent around the mounts, jus a little and it doesnt leek and it works fine, and my upper right ball joint is bent, and also alot of stress and rust around some welds, oh and a pic of my smashed lights ;)

[montyjcm]

Dude, that sucks big time! I am glad I didn't go all out on that 50fter!

My bro went for it, and almost cleared it perfectly, but he was nose high. He was on my quad.:)

We got it on vid, but my tape messed so I can't get it to work. I am going to get some other footage later, though.

[SHOCKER]

i should have my bike ready soon and together for the next race on the 21st another saturday, i need to get my bros welder and some metal then depending oh how much the powder coating will cost i might do PC or just many coats of primer, black gloss, and clear coat

[Tastykake Kid]

socallen85 - You did awesome! Especially considering your on a stock '87 250R.
Monty - I had a 6 hour drive ahead of me so I loaded up & took off right after my race.
Shocker - Yer bummin'.!.!.! Crashin' sucks. Plus, you broke (or bent) parts which makes it worse. Just be thankful you didn't get hurt. Parts can be replaced & fixed. Why are you going to go +1 on the steering stem? I thought I wanted to go that route too until I rode the Alba 470 bike. With the +1 stem, it moves the bars closer to you which makes you sit further back on the bike. It just felt wierd to me. Maybe you can ride someones w/ a +1 before you spend the cash on one.
And what about my race? You (Shocker) didn't mention my pass on the guy for 1st place? How I passed him on the outside, bumped a little in the turn (my right rear tire & his left front) and he broke his hand! Plus, he finished the race with a broken hand! THEN, HE RAN THE 2ND MOTO TOO! Talk about a determined individual. The guy was so cool too. His name was Dean ________. He's racing for points and that's why he stayed out there. Kudos to him!

OH, El Cajon MX was MAD last night! I didn't think I'd like the track at first but I adapted to it really quick! By the 3rd lap I was jumping everything! EVERYTHING! Not sure why I went for everything but I did AND survived! That big jump in the center is a beeyatch on a stock (motored) Z400 though. I'd hit that thing wide open right around the corner and NEVER let off and every dang time I'd land right on top & sort of bounce off the top. It was great! Eichner & Cisco's friend were the only others (that I saw) doing it.
C'mon, you guys can go out there. If I can race in Elsinore, then drive to Phoenix right after, THEN drive to El Cajon on Monday to practice, then you guys can make it out too.
I'll see you all next Monday, the 16th. :D

[SHOCKER]

about the steering stem, i think im going to make one, im going to pick up don's welder today, then go get some metal, but im going to use teh 1" tubing with a little thicker side wall, it will be heavier but stronger, and im going to re-use the bottom part of the stock stem, and the top part with the holes and everything for the stock bar mounts, because aftermarket stems use a diferent ste-up, man i cant explain it, but they use a diferent mounting method and when ya buy some aftermarket stems ya have to buy special bar mounts, but crap i cant explain it but it wont sit as far back as what you are saying

[SHOCKER]

damm it i pciked up 1" 120 tubing and i need 1 1/4 diameter tubing, o well i figured instead of using 090 which is the thickness of the stock one i would use 120 which is thicker and not to much heavier, the only problem i am having is how im going to mount the handle bar, ill figure somehting out that will work, oh and i will have to go tomorrow and pick up some 1 1/4" 120 tubing

hey brett did ya get quotes on steeringstems? your steering stems use diferent kind of bar mounts though huh? i can use my stocker bar mounts can i?

[montyjcm]

Shocker, I know that you have seen this, but here is my vid of practice.

elsinore (http://www.eengoedidee.nl/videoz/mx/elsinore080704.wmv )

[Merriman]

hey shocker,

PM me. If all you want to do is replace that piece of bent tubing and re-use your handle bar mounts / lower stem, we can probably do it for cheap. And we will use .120 chromoly.

[Duncanracer]

call up triumph motorsports, see what they can do for you about a stem..

[SHOCKER]

i think im just going to make my own, it wont be out of chromoly just .120 mild steel but it will add some weight but it will work, besides i think my upper mount on the frame is bent a little back and if i make it at home i know it will fit, im just going to take off the bottom and top part, slip the bottom in with the tierods connected then slip the new piece of tubing through the upper mount and then tack it and see if its straight, if its not i will adjust, that way i know i will have it straight,

hey levi you and cody going to the next race?

brett, wes said hes going to the next race :rolleyes: and he also said he was going to buy a used 01' lexis :huh he says he has 15 grand to put down on one :eek2: i told him he was gay and he should get a truck, oh he also said that shawns sounding to much like you talking about quasd non stop so thats why he made him go work with him, i think wes is gay :blah: im going to tell him that thursday night

[socallen85]

josh give me a call before you do something yur gonna regret

whos going to

LEMX on the 21st
and
El Cajon on the 27th (night race)

[SHOCKER]

maybe i dont wanna call ya ;) i already have the stem done and in my bike, just need to add coolant and then take it for a spin up the street, oh but i still need to get a ball joint, do you guys know if you use the same upper ball joints as burgard? because i need one, im not sure if i bent it at elsinore or if i have bent it before because it would take a hard impact to bend it and my quad hit on the left, so i might of did it when the guy crashed in front of me and i hit him, but im not sure about anything ;)

[socallen85]

any body up for practice tommorrow night at El Cajon?

[Tastykake Kid]

U know I'll be there! :)

[SHOCKER]

yeah i wanna see ya do that jump :blah: dont dissapoint me :o ;) hehe

hey brett ya gonna bring shawn or does he have football?

[Tastykake Kid]

hey brett ya gonna bring shawn or does he have football?

Ok then, I wanna see you do the rythem section then. Deal?

[SHOCKER]

deal

first i want to see ya do the big jump ;) na im going to hit that rythm section i know it :blah:

[Tastykake Kid]

U got it. 2nd lap. If it's clear, it's pinned! Then I'm pullin' off the track to watch you SAFELY do the rythem section.


C'mon Bret, when are you gonna chime in? I have an R too and those things can FLY through the air like nothin'!

[SHOCKER]

i hope they didnt change the track to much from last time i went, becuase i kind ofliked it, so how fast ya think i need to clear that section? i think 3rd, i think the only part of that section i dont like is the step-down, after the first double, if i remember its a double, step-down, double/triple, so i think 3rd the whole time and i should be fine

[Tastykake Kid]

Ya, I do it in 3rd gear. Plus, after that triple there's another double that's small but you gotta have some speed to clear it. It's only like 10' or so. Plus, if you come up short it's no big deal. It might've been there last time you were there - then there's the left hand hairpin and into the whoops you go! Time to try to double through them.

[SHOCKER]

yeah i did that little double last time, it has no lip and the landing was a little higher than the take off, i didnt like it do to the hair pin turn right after it but i did it a few times, hopefully the track is the same so i can do it, for the whoops im not sure about doubling them, last time iwas going pretty good through them, nothing like you and ellis does but i was poping my front end up over them so my front end would hit the top of each one, that seemed to work the best for me, actually there was this one double that the bottom of it was a sharp angle and if ya hit it at the right speed it would be like hitting the front brakes fast, i hated that one :huh

[Tastykake Kid]

Originally posted by SHOCKER

I don't think I'm worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence with Ellis in regards to our riding. BUT THANKS! He's so friggin' fast through those whoops. He like triples or even quads INTO them.
There's really plenty of room to slow for the corner after that little double. It's probably one of the easier doubles to do... No wait, the one after the table that's after the whoops is the easiest one to do. I think I did that in 1st gear one time.

[SHOCKER]

oh yeah no one was doing that one after the table thats after the whoops :huh i think i saw a dirtbike do it, but everyone i saw on a quad just rolled it, i saw 1 guy go off and kase it, it was kind of funny :blah:

[socallen85]

what jump are you talking about ?

[clark]

there were a lot of you guys at El Cajon last nite, now that I see the numbers on here, I know who you are. What did you think of the roller/whoops?? I guess they made em that way for the race on friday nite. See you next monday! Clark #12

[SHOCKER]

i loved the whoops

oh and brett it was that little double right out of the corner that only a few people did, it sucked because it was right out of a corner,


the only problem i have now is out of the corners, my front shocks compress when i take fast and sharp turns and my bike has so much body roll all because of my +2 arms and stock shocks and thats why i didnt do the jumps out of the corners

How do you guys like el cajon compared to elsinore? Is it any better/worse? I know that it is more of a sx track, but is it fun?

[Tastykake Kid]

I personally like the El Cajon track more. It's N.E.V.E.R. dusty and the track is always challenging.

I liked the roller type whoops even though I almost ate it about 4 times. I wish they would've kept that table after the whoops though. I guess it's some sort of step-up but I think only a few bikes cleared it.

Shocker, that double that's right out of the corner really isn't so hard. You could clear it if you started from a dead stop right in the corner. Plus, alls you have to do is land on top of the 2nd jump. It doesn't do anything weird, plus your not going that fast anyways. But I do understand how soft your front shocks are with those +2's. You will benefit with aftermarket shocks but you should look at it this way. If you keep practicing and master that quad with that TOO soft front end, just think how much faster you'll be once you get some real shocks on there. So don't NOT do it because of shocks. The double before the big jump isn't that hard either. That too is a 2nd gear jump for my bike.

Elsinore this Saturday! :)

[SHOCKER]

i cant wait for elsinore, i wonder if they changed the track so the big jump was in the back like they said they were gonna do, i also heard Jason saying that he was thinking of running the track backwards :rolleyes: i hope not, they would have to do alot of stuff to the jumps expecially the step-ups, hopefully they will change the track but not run it back wards, and hopefully they changed the landing on the big table i ate it on:mad:

[montyjcm]

Yeah, I don't know how the track would run backwards. I saw a guy try it last time I was there; he didn't really do to well. They would have to change the faces of a ton of jumps.

[SHOCKER]

yeah i hope the keep it the same, they are better off to keeping the track going the same way, just fix a couple jumps, so monty you going to the race tomorrow?

[montyjcm]

nah, can't. I have a halo lan to attend . . . which is just about as fun.:D

I will probably go next sat., though. Don't know if I will race, but i will definetly try to be there early.

[Tastykake Kid]

[i]oh and kenny i think everyone is scared of you because after ya broke dino's hand and then ramed that guy today everyone just got out of your way :blah::huh :D [/B]

That was an unfortunate incident, with Dino breaking his hand. Funny thing about that is, I thought it happened when I passed him right before that step-up in the back and it was really at the corner before the finish line triple. I'm glad he's still doing well.

As for this most recent incident, I was absolutely the innocent one. He tried to pass me on the inside and came into that corner WAY too hot and clipped MY front end. He went tumbling off his quad. And what did I do? I stopped and waited for him to get back on and let him take off before me! In fact, a certain official actually came up to me after the race and appologized for this particular riders actions. ANYWAYS, it was kinda funny though. :D (since he didnt' get hurt). I was thinking, GREAT, everyone keeps crashing or getting hurt around me! I'm going to be known as "THAT" guy.

SoCallen - NICE RIDE on Saturday! (& yer friend too, can't remember his name) That was awesome! From way in the back, to up front, to 3rd. That's an awesome job! You make that 18 year old quad work pretty darn good. We'll see ya' Friday at El Cajon! So, you think Josh is going to crash again? :p

[400grl]

We are heading to Elsinore in Sept to just practice for the weekend....do you guys ride there normally, or just for races?

[Tastykake Kid]

I know I'll be there for the last round of the series on the 4th of September but haven't ever been there just to practice.
I know LAEGER'S is hosting the next series and those races are on:
September 11th & 25th.
October 9th & 23rd.
Last round on November 6th.

I should be there for all of those.

If it fits in your schedule, you should really try to catch the El Cajon practice on Monday nights. That's a really fun track!

[socallen85]

yeah friday at El Cajon is gonna be fun

i cant make all the races in the Leagers series, cuz they conflict with my desert racing schedule wich im persuing more heavely

[montyjcm]

Is there a race this sat. at elsinore? I am thinking of practicing again . . .

[Tastykake Kid]

Originally posted by montyjcm

If there is it isn't one of Jason's races or one I've heard of. I'd say no, no QUAD races this weekend at Elsinore. But this Friday night - E.L. C.A.J.O.N.!.!.!

[SHOCKER]

yeah friday night el cajon and then september 4th is the last race of the thunder in the valley series, then leager after that, but there i sno racing this saturday,

and if i do crash its gonna be right out of a turn because thats were im mor vonurable (SP?)because im slower in the sharp turns at el cajon and everyone will want to cut me off when i take the outside everyone will cut me off through the inside and swing out to the outside and cut me off, thats what happened after the races on saturday at that step-up i was doing good, they kept taking me on the inside so i couldnt do the step-up without landing on them, or i mean cody not them,

by the way, brett is cody going to el cap because i have drating 2nd period with Mr. Fitz and he hasnt been there for 2 days

[atv4kids]

Where can I find out more about the Laegers series?

[socallen85]

right now all they have are the dates posted for the Leager's series. but Jason said by the next race he will have a flyer, it should be the same exact set up as his SRF series

Josh, i know Cody is going to El Cap maybe he dropped Fitz
to bad for him Fitz is cool tell Fitz I said hi

[atv4kids]

Thank you.

[Merriman]

Cody should be at school tomorrow. He had a bad tooth something.....so head to get a root canal, and has been babying it for the last two days. He should be at school tomorrow.

Oh and I'll see you guys at El Cajon!

[SHOCKER]

yeah friday, im ready, ready to crash :rolleyes: i hope not

hey the next race of the thunder in the valley series they are going to run the track backwards, thats what jason was telling us when we were walking the track right? something about moving the track around and running it backwards or just running it backwards

[Tastykake Kid]

Ya, they're running the track backwards and he's going to have a big BBQ and possibly some bands.

[SHOCKER]

oh yeah i forgot about hte barb-b-que, mmmm im hungry,

i think he said the track is gonna be totally diferent, i think he did?

[socallen85]

hey levi let me race yur bike in open c j/k

man im gonna get killed on friday theres no way to pass there, so its all in the start, and thats my worst area

[SHOCKER]

hey brett im gonna race open C, but last time there was no effinb open C box to mark, it was 2-stroke and 4-stroke c :huh so dont sign up until i sign up, k, oh and i love the starts thats my highlight, i see only about 2 areas to pass on hte track, the huge sweeping turn after the big jump, and then the whoops or in the back where the step-up is, thats all, thats pretty much the whole track to :blah: and that was 3 not 2 :rolleyes:

[Tastykake Kid]

There's always the 9 corners or maybe the 12 jumps. I think the whoops will be where SoCallen85 makes up some ground. Shocker's gonna do the rythem section perfectly every lap and that will help him save time. Then the both of you are going to fly over the center "Step-to-Table" (that's what I'm calling it now) jump like it wasn't even there. I can't clear it but I bet I know a certain'87 250R that probably could. :)

[SHOCKER]

ya know i was day dreaming about the race on friday during some of my classes today and i was dreaming of how bad would it be if i landed where ya did, then i though wait ya got LT front end and ya hit really hard and i have the really extremely soft front end, so i said na theres no way im doing that jump, i think the 1 at elsinore is more intimidating, i dont know, but yeah if i tried it i surely wouldnt be able to ride off the track something would brake, besides i dont have the guts to do it, and when i race im a little more confortable and im alittle more daring, like at elsinroe i dont do that rythm section during practice or after but when it comes time to race i do :blah: i cant wait for friday either, im ready to go now

[kramertech]

Originally posted by SHOCKER

I was there practicing yesterday and on my last lap I said "F*ck it, let's see if I can clear that finish line triple." Shifted into 4th, hit the jump,........and came up short. I managed to hang on, but crushed my balls in the process. Felt like I broke my wiener. Needless to say I packed it up and headed home. Thinking about racing on the 4th though.

- Scott

[SHOCKER]

thats cool what are you riding on? i have watched a couple people Kase it, about 2 others and they seemed to handle it pretty good and didnt seem to hit as hard as i would make it seem, i dont know, wait did it have a huge lip? because at the last race it had this huge lip and it would shoot you up higher but then it would shoot ya front end down, i didnt like it because ya had to slow down so much to go off and everytime i came up to that jump i would wonder which way it was going to throw me :rolleyes: was there a huge table with a little landing? that table sucked not very many people did it, i actually saw a girl on a yfz450 over shoot it after the races when i was taking some practice laps and she hit it a little fast scared the crap out of me , she landed it though, other wise i liked the track and i actually loves those kickers they had after the table and the one in the rythm section :blah:

[socallen85]

ya i got my secret little sections were i hope to make up for a bad starts, but Tastykake is right im definetly looking in the whoops, there i can open it up and its realy wide

[SHOCKER]

yeah i have a friend going to el cajon tonight on his crf450 so im gonna aski him how its set-up and if it was good, yeah you will definently do good in the whoops,

oh brett hey dont sign up until i get there ok, because i want to make sure im in your class i dont want to race against people who are 2 times faster then me, i think after watching your races and everyone in your class seems to be a little more at my level excvept for you and the people you battle with, but yeah if ya dont mind wait for me to get there so we can sign up at the same time

[dank]

WHAT ARE THEY DOING AT EL CAJON TONIGHT

[SHOCKER]

um nothing just my friend is going to go and ride the track on his dirtbike so tomorrow at school hes gonna tell me how the track is so i will know what to expect tomorrow at the race

[socallen85]

Jason says he is going to be at El Cajon all day tommorrow, maybe he has a surprise!

this is going to be so much different than any other SoCal MX race, its gonna be awesome

hey josh when you headed down, ill be there early

[SHOCKER]

what time are you going to be there? because if i can and if i have to to get a spot next to ya ill go right after school if my parents will let me, i think we are going to go early as possible but i need to know what time you are going to be there so i can ask my parents, but i think me and my dad will head down then later my mom will come and bring food

what do you think jason has planned? i hope its cool, maybe a backflip from guetter :rolleyes: na i heard he broke his collar bone but he said he would be back on his bike this week anyways so, big wishes from me :blah:

so i need to know what time, if i dont see this post ill call ya during school tomorrow and ask ya so i can call my dad,

by the way britt im going to buy pics so take good ones :p

[socallen85]

josh you just got home from school and yur already posting, y dont you load up yur truck and focus on the race tonight, see you in bout an hour

[socallen85]

[Tastykake Kid]

I'll be there around 4 in the big ole Chevy. L8r guys!

Thats right!!!!!:blah:

man that was so much fun, it was so electrifing with a good size crowd in the stands, it was like racing quad supercross under the lights with a big crowd, it was intense

what I also like hearing is so many people complimenting me on my ride last night was a good confidence booster, and when i hear Jason and the track owner say they look forward to more events!!!

see you all at elsinore next Sat

[montyjcm]

Sounds sweet. I will have to check that track out sometime.

[socallen85]

who is going to practice tommorrow nite?

[SHOCKER]

not me, saving money for elsinore :blah:

[Tastykake Kid]

Originally posted by socallen85

I'll of course be there and I'm going to jump EVERYTHING that track has to offer. I watched the video of my race and it was pretty sad that I didn't go for the two sets of triples. Tonights the night! who's with me? :D

[SHOCKER]

i think brett said he wanted to do them with ya, heck if ya do that triple ya better clear that whole step-up, i mean the big jump, i actually went off that jump the triple in the rythm section and i did the double part but my front end hit kind of right in the dip pretty hard, that was one of the times i heard my skid hit :huh i think if ya dont clear that whole triple it wont hurt at all because ya will jsut flat land on it, then for the table triple like elsinore's that one is very scary, you said ya did it before didnt ya?

[kramertech]

Anyone going to practice at Elsinore this week? I'm thinking about going tomorrow or Wednesday.

- Scott

[400grl]

Me and some other AZ people are coming there to practice on the weekend of the 18th!! :) I can't wait!!! The only other Cali track I've ridden in Glen Helen!!! :)

brett are you doing this series? im not but maybe i will come up for a race or 2, i think im gonna save up for practices at al cajon, and hopefully they will have a series at el cajon

[socallen85]

no, on the two LEMX October races we have desert races, and i think im just gonna stick with El Cajon races when it comes to MX

from what ive been told were gonna have a couple friday night races in September and after October 9th (when cajon speedway is over) we will have saturday night races:eek2:

but i will be at LEMX this Sat to get my prize and to run the track backwards!!:D

[SHOCKER]

the only reason im going this weekend is because it sounds like its gonna be hell a fun to ride that track backwards

[kramertech]

I'll be at Elsinore practicing this evening if anyone wants to meet up. Black Nissan Titan and a blue YFZ.

- Scott

[SHOCKER]

details on the track please. which way did it run? much details please :blah:

[montyjcm]

Shocker, I was there sat, and I didn't run backwards. So, unless they changed it since then, the track is still normal.

BTW, the finish line triplish thingie has a ton more lift. Don't let off of the throttle going off of the jump. I almost endoed doing that.:)

[Tastykake Kid]

They mentioned that they usually don't change the track until the day before the race.

[SHOCKER]

dang o well it was a try, im not worried about points since i have crashed 3 times in the same series 1 race after another ;) 2 of which i didnt finish,

yeah that talbe/triple is crazy, during practice the first 3 laps i went off front end dow a couple times, but after that i got used to it, i want to do the whole jump and i also want to do the huhge table now

[Duncanracer]

i thought u werent suppose dot let off the gas going off of a jump anyways...

hey wheres britney been at, been a while since she posted..

[SHOCKER]

she cant handle all the teasing :rolleyes:

[socallen85]

i killed her:devil:

[SHOCKER]

:rolleyes: whatever loser, im not sure if i want to go tomorrow, its gonna be friken hot :huh and if i dont go ill just go to el cajon on monday

[socallen85]

hey loser its probly gonna be closed cuz its labor day, but ill be there the next mon, you better be at LEMX on SAT for the track, my over all win, and most important the free carne asada!!!!!

oh and about Brittany, "We ate her..............ALIVE!!!"

[SHOCKER]

hmm if its closed then i will go to elsinore, i just not sure if i wantto crash again or not, im thinking if i should crash or not because it will probably be the last time i go to elsinore for a while and i want to go big, but they are changing the track and it sounds fun, so hmm, i guess i could go, and then go to el cajon next next monday :huh so who are you taking to elsinore?

[Tastykake Kid]

You sound like a crazy man! Just remember, if you go too big at Elsinore, chances are, you won't be riding at El Cajon for a LONG TIME! Heck, you crash at Elsinore without even going big so... just be careful out there. No sense in getting hurt.
SoCal - free Carne Asada? Is this from Jason? Did he mention any other activities other than what he said at the riders meeting? Any Freestyle? Shocker wanted to go big so... :p

[SHOCKER]

yeah im gonna do a holyman off that a 75' ramp like the bomb squad had at the dirt days :rolleyes:

im not sure whats happening, im confused,

hey brett is shawn going after films or what? he said he wanted to practice after the races, and he said that he wanted you to take his bike up there, are you, i think ya should, then im waiting on my dad to answey ya back kenny,

oh and today im gonna pick up some 250ex rims :blah: for free, im gonna use them for a spare set, im not sure if they are 9" rims or 8" rims, either way i have some 22" scorpions i could put on for the desert if the rims are 8" and if they are 9" i have my stock Z tires i could put on, then the guy is also gonna give me some honda/yamaha rims, they are 10" i believe so im not sure if i want them, and they are also steel so i think im gonna get the other ones

[SHOCKER]

ahahahahaha shawn is on here :p :p

and his first post was this:

i dont know y i said that i love the sand, i just got tired of seeing sand cars

[Tastykake Kid]

No El Cajon for me tonight. I'm seat-less. You guys goin'?

[SHOCKER]

shawn said they changed the track a little, we were talking about going everyohter monday night :D that way i can take time to work on my bike and do school work :rolleyes: na cant afford each monday night, but i think next monday ill go :blah: this time my stem wont come loose, i got some lock washers and those special locking nuts and new bolts and washers so it better stay tight if not i dont know what im going to do :huh

[socallen85]

i guess im not going considering its tuesday

Who's gonna be at LEMX on SAT

Tastykake i will be expecting to see you this weekend at LEMX
Josh- sup with you

[SHOCKER]

sorry cant go, got a game really early and i need to work on my bike,

ya guys know how my bike wouldnt idle and would pop when i down shifted, well kenny thought it was the plug, well i got a new spark plug the old one did look bad, was friken hard to get to so i had to take off the tank, then I switched it out and it ran the same, it wouldnt idle no matter what but it would work with the choke on, i also when i turn the choke off the bike idles low and then dies, and it wont start unless the choke is on, any ideas?

[socallen85]

im not a very good mechanic, and i dont have a Z

ask the Z god "Tastykake":eek2:

[Tastykake Kid]

Shoot, thanks for the vote of confidence but, Z god? That sho nuff aint me. I thought it was the plug. If that didn't fix it, I guess I'd just go ahead and take the plunge and get a Yoshi 450 Big Bore Stroker engine with a new FCR carb..... but that's just me. ;)

[Duncanracer]

try adjusting hte idle up a bit more...

also maybe your jetting is off

ut yeah a 450 engine wouldnt hurt....

[SHOCKER]

heck if i had the money dang i would have a honda 450r set-up for mx but guess what i dont ;)

i called alba im just gonna try to get it down there tomorrow after school and then i will have it back by friday, i just cleaned the filter and waiting for it to dry, the guy said it was like $97 and it will be tuned back to perfection, i forgot to ask him if i still get the 12% off deal, it depends if i am gonna take it down iprobably will so ill ask him on the phone, i tried adjusting the idel but it didnt do anything it only revved higher when the choke was on and not when the choke is off, i dont know whats up but alba will hopefully have it tomorrow, wish i had money i could get them to install a JE piston ;) besides i still have that 25% off engine work :blah:

[Duncanracer]

maybe your floats are screwed up?

[SHOCKER]

yeah i dont know what up, i think ill have alba mess with the carb, i hate messing with little parts, besides of anything the carb is my worst subject, i dont like working with it, i dont want to mess something up and have it go into my engine :rolleyes: besides they will get it working great and idleing perfect

[socallen85]

still dont want to go to LEMX huh josh?

if you want to just go and watch im still lookin for someone to ride shoty. i just need to stop at Termecula Motorsports on the way back and pick up some parts

[SHOCKER]

heck i hooked up a rectangular hella light to my bike yeterday, my dad is replacing the lights on the buggy, so i took the good one and o man it was bright, and it was still daylight, i pointed it all the way down to the moho and it was like 6:50 with lots of light out side, its gonna be good for the desert, im mounting it to my bars it isnt the pretties light but it will do, hell its the desert i could care less :rolleyes: cant wait for desert season, i think we are gonna try to meet ya guys out there the weekend after halloween if ya go if not we will go meet cody

[socallen85]

[SHOCKER]

it was cold all day today in san diego :huh stupid santa ana :rolleyes:

[montyjcm]

Dude, I don't think that this is a santa ana. It would be hot and dry, which sux even more. I am kinda glad for this weather .

[montyjcm]

Dude, I don't think that this is a santa ana. It would be hot and dry, which sux even more. I am kinda glad for this weather .

[Tastykake Kid]

Ya, this isn't a Santa Ana. The Santa Ana blew through here just before this cloudy cold weather came in. Like at the last Elsinore race on September 25th, it was 102 degrees!
I love the cold cloudy weather. Bring on the rain! Wait, I'm in So Cal, where we're in a serious drought yet, the people still complain when it's cloudy & rainy. Go figure.

[SHOCKER]

i dont like rain much, leaves me insidea ll the time, i thought the santa an braught dry and cold, i guess i was wrong :blah:

by the way i got my license today, i might drive to el cajon to ride this coming monday, you going kenny? what about you and shawn brett?

[socallen85]

nope my bike is in the worx of becoming a desert machine again. i got 2 desert races next saturday, and im really excited, ill probly go to el cajon and watch.

dont worry Kenny i didnt forget about you...........yet

[SHOCKER]

shawn was making fun of you last week how ya have to prep your bike for desert :huh im sure there isnt that much to do :rolleyes: put on your tank, tires, spark plug kit :p

who cares bring it out to cajon and make sure everything works, dont want your bike to fall apart in the middle of the desert

hey did i mention i got my license :blah:

[montyjcm]

Sweet man, I get mine in about a week. I am stoked about it too.

Too bad we can't drive anyone . . .
:rolleyes:

[socallen85]

my stock stem is so low, the handlebars hit the IMS tank in sharp turns, and with bigger tires i hate it at the track?, and i got gearing, plastics, nerf bars, pegs, skid plate and so much more to change

[SHOCKER]

dude th hardest thing is gearing

you can change your mx tires to desert tires at the track on monday.

ill tell ya what, if you go to the track on monday and ya put on your mx tires after we are done riding i will put on your desert tires for ya :rolleyes: lazy arse

besides all the other stuff ya can do in like 30-60 minutes, how long is it going to take to put on the nerfs and pegs, they go on together, and skid you dont run a skid on the track? i do i need to, and the plastics arent hard, the gearing will take most of the time :huh

whatever shawn better go on monday or im personally gonna come over and kick both of your arses :blah: hehe jsut messing

[socallen85]

Right:rolleyes:

[SHOCKER]

i think your lazy, it shouldnt take long at all to finish up your bike, thats alright i dont think im gonna go anyways

[SHOCKER]

hey brett did you let a girl drive your truck today? because i saw a girl with a red ranger jsut like yours, lifted, that nice metallic red or whatever its called, and it was an extended cab like yours, and it had a white tore up sticker on the front windshield and a so cal riders sticker on the back upper left corner of the rear windshield, she was driving it around 5:30 she was hot :eek2: was it your girlfriend? if your still going out with that one girl :huh but oh mann hubba hubba :blah: :p

[SHOCKER]

so brett how did ya do?

heard ya got to race the big ole' DS :) but they didnt let you use their expensive lights? that sucks, so how did ya do?

[socallen85]

they actually did let me use the $2500 Baja design lighting system, and it worked because both races i won the intermediate class, and got 2nd in the pro class, right behind the fastest man in the desert Danny Prather

oh yeah I did let Karissa (my girlfreind) take my truck to go get dinner

[SHOCKER]

cool,

yeah i thought it was your girlfriend when she was driving your truck :rolleyes: almost ran me off the road ;)

so nwo you're the sandbagger of D-38? haha j/k man, good job.....

SO what was it like riding that tank?

[socallen85]

it was surprisingly fun and easy. its the kinda bike that if you dont respect it, it won't respect you. its definetly a desert bike, i dont think there are enough riders to be sandbaggin. I mean its only my fourth desert race and i already skipped Beginner and Novice, so i chose Intermediate. if i beat some pros in year end points ill move up to pro. i think next year ill race a couple BITD amatuer class, SCORE sportsman class, and whatever is left of a 2stroke class in MX.

Hey Shaun are you commin down to El Cajon, and maybe havin a talk with Chris thats what Brit said last night, but yur probly in Vegas by now good luck

Josh when is the next riding time, Mon or race on Fri?

had an alright day ended up 5th amateur

partner had a crash and a few setbacks, in the first 43 miles, so we dropped from 5th to about 14 by the first pit and 20 minutes back from 1st...

i ended up passing 9 people on my lap, and then my partner padded our elad, but we never were able to catch the leaders, they were too far ahead...so we ended up 5th....not a bad day...
