How many acres do u all have at BET?? And do the quads climb your hill climb???

[chapmanmd]

120 or so acres. 2 MX Tracks, TT, Hillclimb, etc

If we have ATV's come, Im sure we'd send em up the hill... That could get ugly, thats a nasty hill.

That hill looks like a beast lol, WHen i looked at it i think id run outa power on my 416, But id say a well built 2-stoke, Shee or 250r could climb it. WIth a little clutch work!

[chapmanmd]

Ive done it dozens of times on my Cheetah cylindered shee. Its a ***** in race trim though. No ruts for traction!!!

[roostin_dale]

[QCquad83]

hey everyone one!!!! you guys should come out and race the motocrosses at TRi city motorcycle club this year in coal valley..... i was just out there today and they changed a lot and it is really quad friendly this year. and were running a series with muddy waters race way. that track it about ready to be finished adn it will be sweet too. but this has been a supercross track and has scared a lot of people away but we got rid of the people who were building the track and now we have a variety of of people working on this track of all ranges and classes. worth a look and come out ........... here is our website take a look and if u have any questions pm me and i'll try to get back to ya www.tricitym-c.com

hey does anyone ever race or ride at byron motorsports park? i will be racing there alot this year. and practicing.

[QCquad83]

yeah i'm going to try to get to byron a bit this year.....what class do u race

[Jen696]

Hey
Anyone else coming out to ride Walnut this weekend? I can't wait. Hope to see some other quad people out there.
As for Byron, I'll go ride the big track for practice but I won't race/ride the "quad" track, not unless some changes are made, like maybe some DIRT put on the track.
I'll definitely check out Taylorville- sounds like they improved an already pretty cool track.
I know it's not in District 17 but Red Bud is having an open ride April 17th, I'm there for sure, I love that track.

Well cya around, be safe and have fun.
Jennifer Blauw #696

[Jen696]

Hi Dale,
wow that sucks about your bike, the FLA track was awesome, hope you got to at least practice on it before she blew.
Walnut is just open ride this Sat only, and weathers not lookin good.:grr:

Hey QCQuad83, yup that's me. Im looking forward to checking out the changes at Coal Valley, what do you have to do to be able to practice there?? I've heard that you get a membership and you can pretty much ride whenever you want. That would be cool, I liked the track last year for the most part but it sounds like it's even better now.

Thanks, Jennifer Blauw #696

Let us know how it was. I was going to go, but after finding out they were starting the quads at 3pm, it would of been a way to late night for me. Maybe make the 2nd one out there.

[300ex mxracer]

anyone goin to open ride on may 7? ill be ridin a yelow 300ex on saturday.

[parkers30]

I have a few questions for you guys, I have never raced a district race before and was considering racing the Westville, IL Hare Scramble on May 15th.

I was looking at the site and was somewhat confused on what classes they would be running? I am normally a C racer and my brother was wanting to race he is 15 and would be on a blaster, can he race? any info about the D-17 harescrambles would be appreciated

[QCquad83]

tri-citym motorcycle club in coal valley will be running again this weekend may 8th...........good turn out on may 1st lets keep them comming..............we had 5 A's, 6 b's, 1 c, and 4 mini quads.......not bad for first time for mini quads

[ct310]

I would like to extend an invitation to ALL quad riders on behalf of tricitym-c.com. come on out and check this track out! This track has been changed, and its awsome! FUN! and safe, 1 tuff rythem section, (easy to roll) the rest is a Blast! tim m. (referee & quad rider) Guarantied good time!

BUMP

anyone? :confused:

[markk]

I thought that u needed to be at least 16 y.o., But that might depend on the track officials, Just have to ask, it cant hurt. I think that if its a District race, they only have Quad-A Quad 35+ and Quad-B. Quad-B is probley the best class for you to run then.

[parkers30]

Thanks for the reply, I emailed the track a few days ago and have not heard back

[roostin_dale]

It seems like we have alot more XC riders than MX riders in D17.

Anyways, does anyone know Brianna Mahon? Races MX in Womens and Schoolboy classes...

[ct310]

HOLY SH-T !!! YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE QUAD RACES AT TRICITY M-C CLUB !! THAT WAS THE DEFINITION OF DICING. these 3 "b" riders were doing the rythm section better than the bikes. And the whoop section, again, HOLY SH-T ! spectators were running for there lives !!:eek2: :eek2: . If you guys(&gals) dont get out and check this out you ARE missing the boat . this track has incredible action ! mini quad classes too! www.tricitym-c.com

[roostcatcher]

Yep, more XC here than MX. I don't know Brianna personally, never met her, but love to watch her race.


Thanks for the reply, I emailed the track a few days ago and have not heard back

If you haven't heard anything yet give them a call. You'll need a parent/gaurdian release if under 18. Must be 16 to race in B class and up. Better to be prepared than get all pumped up and not be able to race!

[roostin_dale]

thats cool, brianna is my girlfriend, shes freakin fast, lol...

[roostcatcher]

You bet she's fast dale. I've probably seen you around the track. Say hi sometime. I think I got at least a couple good pictures of her on the triple Sunday.

[markk]

ALrighty, May 30 at Lincon Trails Motosports 1st Hare Scramble, 9am Mini Quads, and 10am A,b,+35 quad.

[roostcatcher]

Hey Kim, long time no see! I'll be there. Hope you can make it. Looks like it's going to be a nice day. It would be nice not to have a mud bog for a change. Don't know if Sam will run the 400 or not. She hasn't been riding much.

I asked Leroy if the new ground across the creek would be open, but he said not for awhile. Darn. They say there are some nice hills over there.

sweet..i use to race the 13-15 class...ill be #49 in Quad B...ill be easy to find, in front!:D

[QCquad83]

i use to love walnut and i still like it there but it needs to be changed a bit. to easy and way to fast. it's easy for someone to win there that has no talent or skill. all they have to do is hold the gas open and they can win. i went to mendota's track last race and really loved it and can't make it to both. if walnut would change a few things it would be better it's just a little on the fast and unsafe side. it needs a whoop section and some step on step offs and some shorter straights. just my opnion

Just a FYI
I was at walnut earlier this year and he added some new table tops and cut down the back stretch. He shortened up that really fast area with a whopped section. I have not been out there since, but know he has changed it up.

Kev

[300ex mxracer]

ya that is what i race in(13-15) im pretty sure i raced u and it was only two of us and we raced will the c class. the track is alot better now cause he cut down the straightawy and added some bigger tabletops

[QCquad83]

sorry kev but it is basically the same as the last few years. the really long strech is still there and he added like one t-top and on little drop off thats it.........still to fast needs a actual whoop section with like 8-12 whoops in that back section maybe shorten the strech after the finishline since it gets real narly after the first set of motos.......................i think he should put an s curve in there or something just needs to change........especially if he still is thinking about getting a national .........great place for it and great people run it just needs to get a little more difficult and different..........

[roostin_dale]

[300ex mxracer]

ya they r pretty sslllloooowww

[markk]

Hey now!! Im a c-class racer!!!!!!!!

[300ex mxracer]

lol, at sunset?

[markk]

Hell i dont know, I run XC, But i run in a-class there, I think i can probley win, or do extreatmly well in most c-class MX races.

Id probley be 1/2 competive in b-class for having a stock width 400ex.

[300ex mxracer]

sunset ridge mx,in walnut, il.i dont think ive seen any 400ex in c-class.im pretty sure u could win the c-class there cause me and roostin_dale can and we are in 13-15(he aint no more in b-class i think)

[trost66]

I see taylorville made some changes. I was just wondering if anybody knew what they changed. Last time i was there was about a month ago

[roostin_dale]

Originally posted by trost66

they hardly changed anything. They made the finsih line more into a jump than a hill. The changed the uphill triple to a table top thingy. and there is one small tabletop back in the woods, after the truns after the downhill triple, lol.

300ex mxracer..the weekend i was there you didnt beat all the C riders. They Staggerd(sp) us and I passed the first place right at the end and you were no where close to me, sorry bud.

Anyone at Walnut on the 25th? I pulled the holeshot in A class, held off Chad Weinen and Sage Baker for almost a lap then they got around me...it was pretty sick. The turnout saturday sucked!

[trost66]

roostin dale you race a. What number are you. Also was there many b riders there. Was wanting to go but had a wedding to go to.

[roostin_dale]

I raced A at Walnut because there were no B riders. I was the only one. I got 4th and the only ones who beat me were Sage and Chad(pro) and Bryce Walter who doesnt race many nationals but when he does he races Pro-am.

Im #49 red/black/white 450r.

[trost66]

Did you race taylorville last weekend and did you do well

How did u do ?

[roostin_dale]

Originally posted by trost66

where you there sunday?

B class was insane, all the fast guys were there, Dusty, Tyler, JC, Ben, Andrew, Me, it was a fast day, i think there were 15 of us, I went 1-2 for second overall, Dusty won.

They added a new 117 foot uphill double. It was intense on a quad. I hit it once pretty good, came up short once, then i stopped jumpin it. Bryce Walters in the A class cased it and went to the hospital...it was pretty nasty!

It was a crazy weekend (sorry for naming these names if you dont know any of them)

anyways, i looked for a quad with the mods you have in your sig, but i never saw you..

[trost66]

No i wasn't there had to much stuff going on sunday. Sounds like it was a good time. The next 3 weekends are book for me. After that though i hope to do alot more racing. I', sure i will see you around.

[300ex mxracer]

where else can i race 91-300cc in district 17 besides walnut?

[roostin_dale]

Originally posted by 300ex mxracer

look around, its not hard to figure out.

Byron, Tville, Casey, Maybe Coal Valley? probably more..

[trost66]

roostin dale how close did you get to clearing that double a taylorville. Also what gear did you hit it in

[roostin_dale]

Originally posted by trost66

well, lip to lip was 117 feet. I hit it once in 4th gear going balls all out and made it to about 120-125 feet. Then the second time i got scared and cased it.

You have to be FULLY commited in 4th and possibly 5th. I have the TC national motor so it gives me alot more pull out of the corner which let me do it in 4th. I have no idea what gear the other guys were in.

I should be at Tville this weekend too. Might go to byron, i dont know yet.

[DJJ450r]

what double are you talking about at taylorville i love that track. i normally race xc but i raced at taylorville mx once and i go there to ride when i can. great place and it jus keeps gettin better

like i said...the pics make it look small...when you show up you will be amazed how much bigger it is in person. the 250 bikes were wrecking...some A quads wrecked....it is a difficult jump.

haha i've tried to get her to but she wont race me. She races womens and schoolboy classes. Last year At LL's she finished 6th or 7th i think...and she is feeling very confident she can win this year....I guess she will find out in about a week!

[dirtriderex]

Dam your lucky if you have a g/f that races, i'm still looking and have turned plenty down b/c they have no intrest in racing

[roostcatcher]

Wish I could have been there. Leroy will probably change it around again before I can get back that way. Tell Brianna good luck at LL! We'll be rooting for her.

[markk]

Alrith who is gona be able to make this race?

ILGNCC400ex,Big_Bad_Beny,The_eddy,racer300, and myself, should all be up there. We are also gona bring another guy up there with us. It will be his first race. (if he doest get too eager) he should place pretty good in the b-class.


Although we are still not sure if Racer300 is going to be able to make this race? He ran a local fair race, and came up short and one one back tire on a double. The doc says he tore somthing in his knee, (i forget what) But he said he is gona try to make the next one for sure.




SO WHO IS GONA MAKE IT?

I need a win to get close to the point at the end of the year!

[gncc400exxx]

[roostcatcher]

Who's headed to Lincoln Trails tomorrow? We'll be there. Hope the rain holds off!

[aman]

Yes, they do have separate tracks for each. As for info about the track go to www.motobyron.com for more details. They run what is called the "Nuclear Series", which is a very popular event for them during the summertime, and gets a pretty good turnout at the quad track. Theres still 2 rounds left, so if you want to try it you still have some time

So is anyone gona make it up To Wedron for the ama D-17 state H.S.?
Myself and a few other guys that raced at Casey last year went up and ran! Let me just say us southern boys could go up there and just dominate! The guy that won 1st over all was in b-class,2nd overall went to Curt Demay(a-class) 3rd went to James Stevens (+35) and 4th went to myself.

B-class needs some good quick guys. Last year Brian Edwards took first, Myself 2nd,and racer300 came in 4th, But he ran on a flat rear tire for the last 4laps.


The course was an awsome quad track (thanks Jeff B.) A good mx track high banked turn good rolling jumps and a wide track!


Im gona try 2 make it, but its gona depend on how much my motor is gona cost me when i tear n2 it tommarow!



So who is coming?

[roostin_dale]

District 17 MX Championship this weekend!

Galesburg! I will have a red chevy 4-door, 22 foot black haulmark, 2 red 450r's and one black 450r! Look for us..we will be there friday morning and leavin monday, gunna be a fun weekend!
