I'm toying with the option...... ;) Gotta see if I have the funds.

Did you ever check the intake boots for cracks? How about draining the tank? I know its your quad, but I'd be puttin' that snorkel back on and pulling that plug on the bottom of the box to let the water drain out. ;)

I remember reading a couple months ago in one of the real muddy races that Jeff(Stoess) and a couple of the other riders had problems from a clogged vent line or it got water in it or something.....? Might wanna try puting a one way valve on the vent line.

EDIT: I meant the gas tank vent line. :(

[gump]

gonna tear her down sunday and drain the tank and put dielectric grease on all my connections, gonna call jeff now and see if he's gonna run or not..

[400exvet]

I'm looking for a place to stay in the area of Morganton or Shelby. Wherever is closest to the track, nothing too fancy. I haven't looked around yet. We are leaving Friday around noon and expect to be in the area around 10:00pm. Thanks for any help!

[Bonnie Cook]

Okay - I am here to bring bad news.
We are calling off the team race this weekend due to the winter ice and snow coming our way.
We don't want you boys sick from racing in the 20's!!!

We plan to reschedule this race this summer, so stay tuned the the website -
www.mideastinterstate.com or right here on AtvRiders.com!!


Sorry for the confusion - email if you have any questions.

[Bonnie Cook]

Okay - Good thing we called off the team race cause Saturday morning around 4:00 is started snowing and sleeting and by 10:00 am -- this is what my front yard looked like!!!
It was in the high 20's and lasted till around dark - who would have raced in that and be honest!!!

[Bonnie Cook]

and more!!!

I would have raced, I see a lot more ground down there then up north.
But you did make the right call, NC doesn't have the snow removal equipment, to deal with the roads, like up north.
