Very nice pics Pappy.Looks like a blast.I have never ridden on a mx track before but I would like to do it sometime just for fun.How much is it to just practice at Tomahawk?

[Pappy]

it costs $25 for the day. they offer the MX track and a XC loop. this is a great track for anyone who isnt into big jumps. its 1 mile long and fun!

[FTR250Rnif]

whitebros....

the track is now more for beginers and intermediates. dont get me wrong its a great track but they toned down the jumps alot. im sure as the riders get better they will turn back up the difficulty. it just seems like when a new track opens every yahoo shows up and thinks they are ricky carmicheal or timm farr and people get hurt. im glad to see the track the way it is:p

[YLW400]

Are any of you all coming out this coming Sunday for the MX race???

[Pappy]

i should be there with camera in hand:o

[YLW400]

I tend to have bad luck at that track for some reason, do keep the camera handy:o :D

just as i was starting to get it set up... tryin to figure out what i had to change i blew the rear shock out so to be honest i really don't know yet... it feels alot better then it was but i still have a lil bit of adjustment to do...

[Delaware152]

YLW400.. The first turn there can be a little tricky with 20 C class riders. We will have cold water and the cordless impact ready!!

[YLW400]

See,I told you I have bad luck there!! lol You forgot to include a steering stem!!! lol Oh wait, that was another wreck there! lol

[Delaware152]

If you don't win it's your wife's faught b/c you had to do yard work instead of riding! Shame on her.

[YLW400]

you tell her that, I'm not!!!! I might need a ride home from WV if I tell her that! Can I ride in your trailer??

[YLW400]

trying to keep this thread alive, anyone else coming to Tomahawk this Sunday????

[YLW400]

trying to keep this thread alive, anyone else coming to Tomahawk this Sunday????

[250rmike]

i was planning on it but im gonna go to easton and try to get some seat time in and get used to my new shocks. ive only been the track 1 time in the last 2 years and i have only ridden a handful of times

[YLW400]

What kinda shocks did you get Mike?

[250rmike]

bought a set of elka triple rate w/o resi for 330 shipped with 8 rides on em. i need to send my works to c&d to get rebuilt for the r soon

[YLW400]

Yo' Pappy, how much have they changed the track??

[YLW400]

Awesome man, I am sure they will make the ride a billion times better!

[250rmike]

yea i hope now i just gotta get some more money for the rest of the chassis. damn z sits to high

[YLW400]

Just take your time, and do it right...


Delaware, what time are you heading out of here Sunday?

[Delaware152]

Not sure. Have to talk to the mechanic. Probably around 4:30-5:00. How about you? Maybe we can park near each other.

[YLW400]

Mechanic...aka "coach"...lol I was thinking of leaving here at 4:30., so I would be back there no later than 8....If I get there before you, I will save you a spot, and vice versa.

[YLW400]

:muscle:

[Pappy]

i leave about 10 minutes before the race:devil:

[YLW400]

That's not fair!:macho :blah: :D

[250rmike]

lol wish i lived that close to a track

it only takes me 4 minutes, 2 if i ride the quad:devil:

[250rmike]

ahh stop your making me jealous. they just finished closing down all my riding spots around here closed one is only fun for about 10 minutes(specially since i made the trails) and besides that one which is behind my uncles the landing is the next closest. is tomahawk or the landing more frendly to quads(the track not the people) cause it looks like im gonna have to race this weekend there is no open practice at landing

[Pappy]

Tomahawk is mighty friendly...as long as ya dont mind the way we do things out here in the sticks:devil:

You will know if ya did something bad:cool:

[250rmike]

haha im a good kid:blah: what about the jumps last time i was at easton the landings sucked. they had holes in em and were really steep perfect for bikes but crap for quads

[Pappy]

jumps arent bad....just about all quads can do everything except the 80 footer

[250rmike]

thats good i think im gonna come to tomahawk on sunday instead of the landing and try racing if i can get my rear tire to stop loosing air

[cletusEX]

I'm thinking about racing on Sun. I was supposed to go to the wips GNCC but i got too much stuff to get done on Sat. If I get everything done and can find someone to come with me I'll be there. It will only be my 2nd mx race but I have had a little practice at this track. If I come I'll be on the yellow decked out xc 400ex.

[250rmike]

i should be ther if nothing gets screwed up this time on a white z400 stock except for some tag bar elka front shocks and holeshots

[250rmike]
