anyone flat track

[flat_track400ex]

i was just wondering if anyone on here race the 450r for flat track? i raced last year on my 400 and just sold it to upgrade to the 450r i was just wondering how u guys liked your 450r for it?

I've been thinking about trying flat track this year, maybe I should make that my new years resolution, hehehe... Anyways, do you have any reccomendations on a basic setup in order to be competitive? I'll be +2 wider in the front and rear soon, but other than that suspension is all stock right now.

My 450's undefeated at the local flat tracks (ok, ok, I've only run two on this quad, but I led all heat races and mains from start to finish) -- fun putting it to the YFZ guys, especially in front of a crowd :)

we also run here in nc... we have 5 tracks in our series to goto this year(2005)... lots of fun and competive riders.... let me know if you need recomendations for suspession parts and other things

I flat track my 450, but I am not very good at it.......................YET.
I have the HMF full system and CS Agressive cam, and all seems very well with it.

4 Stroke C

Brandon Hill went on to win the 4 stroke C Class in his first race of the season. He also finished 2nd in the Production C & 4th in 16-24 Class, which isn't bad for your first weekend out.

The Production C Points leader, Brian Egloff finished 8th after winning the last two rounds.

i used to chase points at the local ama district races. i did pretty well...now im all about tt. in oval if you have a good setup and a fast machine any lessor rider will win....in tt you have to have setup AND rider abbility. just my 2 cents!


this is what my setup looked like back in the day:eek2:

lower the back end and put flat track tires on and you will be competative.

4 years from Atwater to hardware at Greenbriar tt. funny how this sport makes you keep spending, i mean, striving for more!

Went to my first national in Paducah this year. Just like you, the hooks are dug deep. Planning on adding Orrville to next seasons calendar.

See you at Fremont!

it's a blast.... i love to work on the kids bike and goto the reaces...it does take some money to be able to do this tho...we're planning on hittin alot of th nats this year... we'll be running the b class in thoseprolly production b, 4 stroke b, and 16-24.. we just started in july just before elizabeth city nat... we finished 4th in 16-24, 2 in production c and 1st in 4stroke c...since then, we've done alot to the bike and learned alot also...can't wait for our series to start back up on march 19

[iceracer65]

the most fun ive had at a nat last summer was at paducah when i was the "crew chief" for the quadfather, kenny marcou....we made a ton of changes to his bikes and got them really working good.

i didnt think i would like making the decisions on kennys bikes (hes made every gnctt since '96) but after actually seeing the differences it made on the track from the stands...i think i might have a future in wrenching for someone when i get too old.(did i just say that:rolleyes: ;) )

its always fun to help out riders new to the tt scene with setup tips and storys.

p.s. congrads to my fellow 4stroke A rider and friend wes heatherly for making it into the huevos 7 tt section!!!!!!

Competitive in what? Getting lapped? This is what it takes to compete here.
