I want to go riding, i sent you a pm. I have this sunday off I know it will be cold and snow on the ground I'm still game though. I tried to get a Kansas ride together but then I got really busy with my new job and it kinda fell through. I think this spring I will def get one going after the time change. Most the places here will not let you ride after dark and the sort days and chitty weather lately would make it suck right now.

[TRX_450]

[jwick07]

Man I dont know anybody here that rides, I just moved. Only people I know are my brother-in law and his college friends Thats it. I work in Junction City and live in Manhattan because this town is Junk to live in, to many want to be gang bangers and Riley rats.

[jwick07]

Found lots of pictures of mountain bike trails there. It looks like they have lots of jumps made. Dont know if there big enough for my 48" wide quad though. I have never road trails besides the ones at the sand dunes in Oaklahoma and they are wide, I'm from western kansas wide open pastures and private tracks. I'm set up for moto cross wide and low.

[TRX_450]

holy shat dude....i jus woke up at like 9 and got on the comp...i went out to get some breakfast and we already got 2 inches of snow....lmao

[jwick07]

Yeah they didn't have the roads cleared off at all at 7:30 on my drive to JC to work. Sucked bad really slick and dumb drivers going right down the center of highway 18.. Even 70 was not in great shape.

[TRX_450]

damn i was gonna wash my quad today...its still muddy from the last bunch of snow that melted...u got any skid plates? if we a an assload of snow i mite have u meet me at this other place....i dunno yet jus depends on how much snow mer get but ud prolly want a full set of skids...

[jwick07]

no skids yet getting the bling star skip plate this spring. Know of any good pasture that we could make a TT type track on with a few terrace jumps thats what we would do back west.

[TRX_450]

lmfao this place we were goin has exactly that....i big 15 or 30 i cant member square for his front yard wit 5 or 6 terraces runnin on it....and one of em will getcha a good 30 foot but i have stock suspension and stock a arms mite be better for u witta 450 too....if u wanna hook up n meet there i can talk to the guy today sometime

[jwick07]

sounds great lets do it, neither of us has been to that spillway area and this is not the best weather to learn where the drops, holes and semi burried rocks are at.

[TRX_450]

lol yea thats wat i was thinkin...ill talk to the guy sometime today and i dont think hell have a prob wit it

[TRX_450]

flat trackin should be fun tomorrow.....pics of my house out of my door to the deck...

[TRX_450]

....

[jwick07]

My uncle had a cabin in St. Gorge sold it a few years back. It sits down off the main highway. There was or still might be Phillips 66 station west of it up on the main highway. His drive way was through a pasture and it the house set right on the little creek and he had a deck overlooking it. Little two story with metal sprial stair case to get up stairs and a wood burning stove heater. He had a decent pasture land area that would be fun.

He built a garage there too, its all wood pannel the garage and house. Do you have any clue as to where I'm talking about.

[TRX_450]

well ur eithert talkin bout deer hollow or the halfway station and i live RIGHT behind the halfway station....wat was ur uncles name??

more kansas people sweet

[Quadbuyer]

Yo I'm just getting into quads and I want to ride this weekend. My lt250r is in the shop and supposed to be ready in a few days... just bought it and I've never rode a quad on a trip. I rode a crf450r till now, almost all MX. Want to get the lt on a track bad.

Anyone close to KC riding this weekend or possibly Friday?

[jwick07]

lt250r why did you do that to yourself. It is in the shop and it will spend a lot of time there to. My best riding friend from college had one and in three years dumped $4 grand into keeping it running, that thing was always in the shop. He got smart and parted it out and now rides a honda, 440ex it never has problems.

[rockman]

i know a guy that has 3 complete quadracers he used to be the state champ back in his day. now wants to get rid of his bikes layin around. just let me know if you need any parts i can hook you up :D

[Quadbuyer]

Yea, I'm really afraid that the lt250r is going to be a money pit. So, your buddy dumped squillions into his and then parted it... great. I'm worried about being him, too.

Might try to ride this weekend somewhere if my quad is up for it.
As long as you guys don't roost me just because I've got a suzuki, it's depressing enough, we should ride

[jwick07]

cant ride this weekend got tickets to the KC game

[TRX_450]

well hafta wait and see but maybe next weekend we can get a spillway ride goin as long as it isnt all muddy n nasty

[bigdaddy650r]

[Quadbuyer]

I rode my crf this weekend at some trails in KC (470 HI). Had a good day riding. Several of my friends wanted to ride so I didn't try to inform anyone else. 470 is sorta low key because police bug when there's lots of riders out there.

My lt20r should be ready this week. Might try to setup a ride. So, where did you guys ride?

[rockman]

well sunday we went to perry. good god it is soooo rutted now. i am sore all over from only 3 hours of riding. its just not worth it anymore. anyone know when osawatomie opens back up?

[TRX_450]

pmub....gotta stay up top:devil:

[rockman]

wow i got laid off and now have absolutly nothing to do for 2 months. anyone wanna go riding?

[hon400ex]

if i don't have to work, we r goin to deepwater this weekend. holla back if u want to meet.

andy

[rockman]

where is deepwater at, i've heard alot about it just don't know exactly where its at

[jayhawks5575]

Hey fella's Deep water is located near Clinton Mo. its about a hour away from me I live in Baldwin City KS. Im actually talking about maybe getting their this weekend Sunday? Heard it was going to be near 60 degrees with no rain in site till Tuesday! Im getting my 440ex re geared today new plastic silver and a sweet set of Trinity header and silencer put on! Plus just got a little 110 cc quad ready for my sons. Im iching to go riding. Their is also some areana cross in Kansas City near the end of this month. Thinking about intering. We need more quads. They had one in Topeka last month 3 quads in the pro class. and 3 in the Novice! IM a novice class. Let me tell you fella's I race im fat and out of shape but im in it for the fun and I couldve beaten 2 of the three riders. Their was only one guy who did all the jumps in the pro class the rest rolled the jump. And I gotta tell ya the guy doing the jump didnt gain that much ground on the guys just ( rolling) Im a roller!!!! Come join me!

Keith

[jayhawks5575]

Deep Water!!!

Hey if you fella's have Yahoo. Instant message me at jayhawks5575@yahoo.com.

Always need more riding buddy's....

Keith

[TRX_450]

jus added ya man.....im tryin to get another ride goin...not sure when but will prolly be some weekend and itll be at the spillway area...

[rockman]

you know the guy that won novice. the guy who did the heal clicker over the finish line. :D i know him. we ride freestyle, the guy who won the freestyle (against 4 bikes!!!!) ya his name is kyle. i thought it was funny as hell cause he can pull alot better ****.

[jayhawks5575]

Tyler was his name? Wow he was good. I wouldnt think he could do that stuff on a four wheeler better than those on the bikes...Has my vote! Wish I knew ahead of time that they where going to race quads I might have entered. Would have been fun. Not sure I could come close to Tyler but possibly the other two. All else fails it was fun. Think their is one coming up in KC ..Hail Arena!!

[yamahonda]

there is a race in kc where and what type?
\

[jayhawks5575]

In " Hail Areana" I think thats how you spell it and I believe at the end of this month.. I need to get more details for sure. I know my buddy Ryan Moranz is going to race pro. I will prob. Race quad novice! Been awile since I have raced but should be like riding a bike right!!?

[yamahonda]

is this flat track race??/ details when you get some email me at shawn12974@msn.com

NO you are wrong. the guy who won the AMATUER class and did the heel clicker over the finish line was Buddy Grandstaff.

[TRX_450]

i can do heel clickers...lol....its not that hard if ur quick like me :D
i wanna ride tomorrow somewhere but i dunno where...whose up for spillway next sunday???

[rockman]

like i said a heel clicker is nothing, but do it over the finish line at the arena cross at the expo, then its something. and like i said earlier its funny that kyle won the freestyle with a tsunami

[TRX_450]

u should see the jump im doin heel clickers on....its small as hell

[jwick07]

yeah and i can turn my head a look at you when i jump. and when I'm feeling like really bustin big tricks I can let go with one hand and point at you or maybe on a good day kick my leg out, thats the move that gets the girls going crazy

[rockman]

how did we get on this??? i never said a heelclicker was hard. all i said was buddy is the one i was talkin about not tyler whoever that is.

[jwick07]

jess quit smokin crack....uve officially lost ur mind :blah:

[rockman]

:scary:

[jwick07]

I was out in the garage drinking gas and used honda gn4 oil

[jwick07]

So I had today off work and decided that i couldn't take being in the house all day. I hooked up the trailor and went to the Spillway Cycle area. It was pretty lame. My MX quad was almost to wide for some of the trails and 90% of them I was bustn' the edges of they were so tight. I wish I had just a stock 450R or Z400 would have been good too.. There were no real jumps but I found a few. I would go riding there again just because it is 10 mins from my house. I just dont really get into trail riding much because comming from Western Kansas we just dont go riding through many trees. I never got out of second gear through the trails. There were several cool drop in trails or shoots.

[TRX_450]

hmmm....well i guess future rides will be somewhere else....havent ridden randolph but i hear its real rocky unless u ride the beach....school creek is always an option tho

[jwick07]

yup kinda what i was thinking, i might get to randolph this sunday. about a 30% chance for it.

[TRX_450]

if you do by chance lemme know...i mite be able to get a ride up

[jayhawks5575]

Im telling you fella's the best place to ride near Manhattan is Milford! Or come down to Dragoon Motocross track down south of Topeka! Its a fun track and on Sundays' you can practice from 11 to 3 I think for 10$. Perry sucks. However? Deep water isnt to far away from my house! :devil:

[jayhawks5575]

Hey just to let everyone know we are planning a trip down to Oklahama in March right before spring break! About 5 of us going down so far! Will be fun and not so crouded!

Also I have been thinking about getting wheel spacers for my quad 3 inches! Has anyone used them and if so see a difference?

:huh

[jwick07]

yeah i have used them before and I would never go three inches!! That is just two far the suspension and ball joints were not made for that and it will put extra stress on them and make them bend eaiser or just break. Also the handleing will suck because it will push the center of your tire further away from the ball joint and that is bad.

[jayhawks5575]

Kewl thanks for the info! ya they seem like they would give you more stability on the race track but in the woods they would definitely suck!

Hey where is Randolf? and what kind of riding is it?

Keith

[jwick07]

I'm telling you even on the track they are not good, when you hit braking bumps and it gets rough the bars will twich all over the place and wear you out. Hello arm pump. Randolph is on the Northwest corner of Tuttle creek

[jayhawks5575]

Im guessing Tuttle Creek is near Manahattan? And would you say its better riding than Milford?

thanks for the info on the spacers!! Ive been doing pretty good with stock so I think I will stick....

Who all races at Draggon motocross? ( lyndon)

And who know's of other good tackes and races? Moto, TT's, flat track, whatever for quads anyways.....

Keith

[jwick07]

You could run some douglas 190s with a 3-3 offset it will make it about 2inches wider and not be so harsh. I ran that set up last year. Switched to HiPers this year.

For more tracks try the KORR series. I dont know the website address. It stands for Kansas Offroad riders. It is a series i have ran several times.

also look here. www.jeepscycleclub.com for a good place to ride in Park City.

Thunder Hill also has a track i hear. I just moved to Manhattan a few months ago and am still looking for places to ride. The Spillway Cycle area is less than 10 minutes from my house so thats why I went there. Its not that big at all with tight trails. Some pretty cool drop ins if your quad will fit it the tracks my quad is too wide for some of them or i dont have enough ground clearence. Have not made it to Milford of Randolph yet but will this spring.

[jayhawks5575]

Ya ive been to Jeeps, I would like to do some flat track and TT's I think I will make the trip a couple of times this season! Might do some motocross as well but mainly at Dragoon. Their is this club that puts on some flat track at local fairs but you have to be a member not to race but to use their facilities well worth the 20$ per year something like that, and they have a really nice camp area plus many acres of riding. Plus its connected to Dragoonmotocross.com. Its called KATVA Kansas All terrain Vehichle Association. Ive heard two different story's that Thunder hill doesnt let quads race their due to the rutting? Then I have heard that they do. So I dont know im still trying to figure that one out! Your tire idea was a good one! Think I will do that. I need knew wheels anyways. I really want some new bead locks but they are expensive 180 per wheel. Plus you can change the disks. Milford is fun! I know I will be up their plenty this summer! its got open area's plus nice trials and you can ride right next to the lake and jump in and get cooled off all at the same time!

you mentioned another tire or combo of the two that you switched too why and what tire size and width do you suggest for best all around performance for my 440ex? Moto, tt's, oval, ect?

Keith

[jwick07]

I run 19x7x10 maxxis mx up front and 18x10x8 maxxis mx in the rear on HiPer Technology wheels.

I switched to the HiPers becase one i got a good deal on them used and two they are strong as hell and if you do break them they can just replace the part on the wheel that broke because they are made in sections.

For Kansas it is always hard packed it seems so I think that old school turf tamers are the best. I wore out a set of holeshot fronts in one summer without a problem so I made the switch to Maxxis. The Razors grip great so far. For trail riding I need to get 9inch rears with some 20 inch tires and some 21s up front. Would probably get baja rims super strong for the right price.

[jwick07]

Today Jan the 14th at 4pm I will be at the Spillway Cycle Area. I know its not the best but its close and I'm going riding!

[TRX_450]

damnit jess..lol plan it when i cant go...u free tomorrow if i can get a ride out there???

[jwick07]

dont think so tomorrow Dawns moms birthday

Just put off your plans for today and go

[TRX_450]

wouldve but i have a party to go to for my cousins husband who jus got back from iraq...so i went n rode bmx instead....we ridin again tomorrow i think anyway

[jwick07]

well I had a much better time today at the spillway. I rode twice as hard because I was more comfortable knowing were I was at and I put all my gear on and that always makes ride more aggressive. The place had lots of riders, utilities and sport quads bikes, kids and even a tricked out go-kart built by some K-State kids that had IRS and TCS schocks and HiPers all the way around. Only a 10 hp briggs motor because that is all that they were allowed to use for a competion.
Anyway I had a blast and Im beat.

[jayhawks5575]

Not sure who stupid is but just wanted to make sure you didnt mean a 5hp briggs and stratton? When i used to race carts we had a 5hp that was blue printed, ran on alcohol! It pulled like 40 horses! I gotta tell ya I am a little jealous of your 450r but im pretty sure I can give you a run for your money! Do you think your going to race it this season? Hey thanks for then info on tires I think thats the rout im going to go is give me that 2 inch diference!

Need to catch up sometime and go to Milford or even deep water! Have you ever been to the sand dunes of Oklahoma yet?

[rockman]

SAY WHAT?!?!:eek2:

[jayhawks5575]

Say what? Hey Rockman? I went to HS in Topeka! THS Grad in 93 you?

Where do you ride? Do you race at Dragoon?

[rockman]

naw i went to hs in osage city class of 04. i used to race my kx at dragoon. i was sayin "say what" to the 40 horse briggs an straton thats crazy. what kind of carts were they, i raced part of a series out in colorado that used something like that. don't know what the hp was but they were running every bit of 75. best time of my life. right now i ride in my backyard mainly. perry is too rutted to even attempt anymore. we are buildin a freestyle track at a friends house in eskridge right now. it will be awesome. plans are for 5 8 an 10 foot ramps. it will be sick.

[jwick07]

They told me it was a 10hp and that was all the bigger they were allowed with the rules of the competition that it was built. And to be honest I didnt even really ceck it out that closely I was there to ride before it got dark.

I dont know if I'm racing anymore. I just didn't have that much fun last year racing because I cant get enough seat time like I did in the past years. So Im out of shape. Several times the only time I would each week were at the races and that just isn't good enough to be competive like I want. If I do race at all I might go to Jeeps once and maybe check out Dragoon because it seems the closet to me now.

[TRX400-06]

I am starting a company, mainly for the soul reason to put out a video or two. I am not looking to make any sort of profit. Mainly just to put my mark some place outhere. It will mainly be funded by myself so that means extremely low budget. This posting is to find anyone interrested in getting in the video. It will only be marketed locally and for who ever wants it on here. I figured if any of you guys want when the weather gets a little better we can all meet up and get some riding done. If it does fair pretty well then I wouldn't mind kicking some money out to who ever wants to ride. Like I said this mainly just to have a project. I have been kicking this idea around for awhile and finally decided to go all or nothing. For the ride(s) I thought of getting shirts made which may cost 5-10$ unless everyone is dead set on wearing their jersey's. Its just for chits and grins. If interrested write an e-mail to ChristopherB86@hotmail.com

I'm not looking for pro riders but some one that atleast knows how to change gears. The company name will be named Switch Gear. Unless some one happens to already have that name. Or might never make it to a company and just have that as a general name.

Just let me know your thoughts on doing this or if you are interrested.

Shape what is that lol man I weight way to much I played football in college and now well I am a far cry from what I used to be. I just love to go out and give it hell! Its just fun for me granted I get competative but heck man if I dont take first its all good! My dad still races with me from time to time he's 55! His saying ( someones gotta take last) I really want to go to jeeps and do some flat track! Now that looks fun to me! Keeping all four wheels on the ground! I mean all ya gotta do is take a bike strap and compress your shocks as far as you can! And then if you wana do MOTO take the strapes off!

Dragoon is fun especially for quads not to big of jumps and not to technical! I should be their this sunday for practice if wheather holds! 10 to 3 $10 ya you gotta pay but its not to expensive! Call before ya go! dragoonmotocross.com!

Anyways got two boys 2 yrs and 7mo so I know I am going to stay with this for a hobby! Maybe one of my boys will go pro or something but for now I just do what I love! Granted im trying to drop 30lbs to be more competative but If I lose! I will always know their is a 12 pak waiting in the truck after the race lol!

Well thanks for not comming I had the whole place to myself besides this tool and his beat to chit cr250. Anywho I rode my arse off I rode to the point i had to tell myself "up legs" to get my fat butt off the seat or pile it up.

Going to Hays this weekend so maybe we can try for next week.

[TRX_450]

[jayhawks5575]

That really sucks your try and be safe and wham! Oh well I will take one of those freak accidents anytime over hitting my head on anything without my helmet!

I am trying so hard to find a set of those bead lock wheels with the red rings on them! Im trying ebay! looks like a set will run me $750 wow ! Not sure they are worth that much. I mean really the only reason I want them is for the red outer rind that would match my quad perfect!

Plus one guy told me to try Douglas 190's with a 3-3 offset to give about 2 inches each side for that ( extra) stability!

As far as Camping goes Dragoon has a lake and a campsite right next to the race track or you could pay like 15 dollars a year for a membership to KATVA that has a camp grounds with electricity and 200 acres or something like that to ride on ! Really a pretty sweet deal!

Look out for those tree's ......... they always seem to move right in front of me!

[jwick07]

Just got a B+ on inspection from the owner today, thats extremely good for him, I dont remember a single time in the 5 years that I had worked for him before that I got that high of a score.

So I'm celebrating by going riding again at 4:30pm at the spillway cycle area.

[TRX_450]

ok guys....spillway ride next sunday...no time set yet...got another guy from kansas goin hes spud400ex on here i believe...dunno but he wants to ride so if anybody else wants to go post....jess ur alzy *** is goin whether u like it or not..u know the area so ur goin...ill come get ur *** if thats wat it takes....anyway...jus figured id let yall know

[jayhawks5575]

Hey I also have a set of wheels for a Suzuki quadracer! Anyone interested im selling cheep! Used twice. They still have flat track tires mounted on them!

[jwick07]

Its a small area with tight trails and some decent little drop ins and increible views of the lake and spill way. I go there because its 10 mins from my house.

If we go next sunday it will have to be later in afternoon I have family comming to town.

[TRX_450]

[jwick07]

the place isnt that big to ride all day there.

[TRX_450]

hmmm....i dunno then...

[jwick07]

two to three hours would be a good amount of time there. There is on jump that I need more quads to hit to help wear it in, and there is a huge area we could run drag races.

[TRX_450]

[rockman]

[jayhawks5575]

Hey im trying to find out more info for the flat track! Yes I would like to know more about John Redmond riding area!

Check it out for yourself also!

Jeepscycleclub.com

Keith

[spud400ex]

our pasture is about half way between osage and reading on the highway, its open terrain with some jumps and a good drag race spot. if ya wanna go out there and ride sometime just let me know.

john redmond is a good place to ride and has some small jumps but is mostly kinda open trails with some in the wooded areas. ive spent acouple days in a row out there and still had a good time. most of the trails i coulde cover without gettin outta third gear.

[rockman]

hey whats your name spud i might know you.

[rockman]

pm me don't post it by the way

[jwick07]

Hey guys watch the weather channel because it is suposed to rain all weekend starting tonight. And if its muddy at the Spillways they dont want you riding there and it would be a mess there too with the natural layout it would just be a mud bog in most of the lower sections.

[TRX_450]

pmub

[jwick07]

did you guys go to the spillway today. My wife's family was in town and then I had an employee quit on my arse again so I had to go to work and I'm here all night.

[jayhawks5575]

Mike,

Not sure where your live but I like the two near Topeka!

Dragoonmotocross.com and ThunderHill!

If you need more info let me know!

Keith

[300EXrider356]

Yeah man I was lookin at Dragoon that place looks pretty nice.

Where is Thunder hill at, i live about 40 miles south of Kansas city in Stilwell, what about Grindstone is it still open?

-Mike

[86GN]

ThunderHill is north of Topeka near Mayetta.

[TRX_450]

congrats to jess for for 5th place finish :blah:

[jwick07]

No it sucked man I ripped the hole shot and had close to a 10 sec lead after the first lap. At the hour mark we had dropped back to third place and I was pissed so I stayed out to run two laps because I was faster than my teammate. I was closing in fast on 2nd place and I caught a rut or big breaking bump while I was sliding it into a corner and my right foot bounced off the break and I shot over the berm and I got tossed off the quad at I would say 35-40mph. Took us out of the chance to win. I was stupid and not using my head. We still had two hours of racing to go and I could of easily caught the guy later on that lap or with in the next two hours. Instead I could bearly walk and we limped home to a poor finish because of it. We should have finished no worse than 2nd if I hadn't got my fat arse tossed like a biatch. Oh well nothing broke, im just sore as he!l and pissed off at myself. I feel worse for my partner because it was only the second race he had ever been in and he was trying so hard.

[firman2193]

there are several places to ride within an hour of louisburg, like deepwater, pomana lake, and osawatomie to name a few. mostly just trails maybe a few jumps. on Feb 19th there is a practice session at timber run mx (www.timberrunmx.com) its in sheldon Mo about 1h from louisburg. they have a spring and fall race series. i hear the track is really nice. i will be goin on the 19th.

[jayhawks5575]

Hey man Wow Timber run looks like allot of fun! Thanks so much for posting it I have never heard of the track before! Looks like a pretty good turn out for quads. I'l try and find more out from the web site but maybe you could tell me what "kind" of track this is. Looks like half MX and half trails? What kind of skill does a rider need for this track! Are their nice jumps that if you slightly mess up your dead? or is their room for errors. " table tops". The 19 eh? I wonder how cold its going to be?

[TRX_450]

i still say finger lakes is a good place to ride....and get me pics of that plastic..lol

[firman2193]

last time they had a practice at timber run they said there were about 100 riders. after the 19th i will post what i thought of the track.

[redrider91]

My family raced at timber run last year, its a great track. The people that run it spend a lot of time maintaining it and making sure the jumps are faced correctly. Its a great family atmosphere, no alcohol allowed and lots of friendly people.

Its strickly a motocross track, about 1.5 miles long, although they are going to build a flat track also. There several doubles of different lengths and a couple of triples for you experts, a rythem section and several table tops.

They have several classes for bikes and quads, from pee wees to experts. On practice days they run the sessions by class, so the pee wees arent on the track at the same time as the big guys.

A note about practice on Feb 19th, the web site this morning said they would make a decission sat afternoon on weather to have practice or not due to cold temps. Check the web site for more info or call before you haul.

If you come out look for us on the honda quads #265, 365 and 165, come by and say hi!

http://www.timberrunmx.com/

[jayhawks5575]

Heck ya!!!! Wow this track sounds like it has it all!


Cant wait to go! So when will they have the flat track going! Love the MX but I must say I love the flat track even more! Especially since im old and fat! We fat guys like to stay more on the ground! Less injuries! LOL

I like the idea of a family oriented enviroment! I have 3 young boys! All will be riding soon! then my dad is 50 + so he'll love the 40 and over class and im 30+ so ill love all of it!

Just got a 16ft+ trailer with A/C !!!! ya ya its more for my wife! Maybe I can get her to run the womens class!

See you their!

#55k

[jayhawks5575]

Hey man I need to actuall address so I can get directions to the track! Also would like to have a flier!

Can you help me with this?

Jayhawks5575@yahoo.com

[redrider91]

They have cancelled practice for sun feb 19th because of cold weather. Have rescheduled for sun feb 26th, subject to weather of course.

They have not posted the spring flyer yet. If you look at their website in the upper left hand corner where is says "fall flyer" they will be changing that to "spring flyer" any day now.

As for directions, they are posted on the web page. It is off the beaten path, but well worth finding. Basically from 71 hwy between Nevada and Sheldon you go east on hwy DD 6 miles, then turn south 1/2 mile on a gravel road.

Hope to see you there sometime

[jayhawks5575]

Well here is my prob. I dont know where either is! Sheldon? Oh well I'll do some map search or maybe they have a phone number! I was hopeing to get on mapquest.com and find my way! Hopefully not to far! I will just keep my eyes posted on the web site! What class do you run?

[redrider91]

Nevada is about 90 miles south of kansas city on hwy 71, Which is 4 lane all the way. Sheldon is 15 miles south of Nevada. 2 miles north of sheldon on 71 you turn east on a blacktop road DD and go east 6 miles, then south 1/2 on gravel road.

I dont have a street address for the track, although you can mapquest sheldon and get a general map of the area.

Where is Baldwin City?

My 14 year old son rides my 400ex and raced in the beginner class last year, he will move up to intermediate.

My 10 year old rides a trx90

I ride the 300ex in a small bore class, because they only run 4 laps on part of the track. The bigger quads run 5 laps on the whole track, my 42 year old body cant take that! My wife also rides in the womens class, which is 4 laps

[jayhawks5575]

Baldwin City is right outside Lawrence. Ya I did some research and it looks to me like I can get to 71 and pretty much straight down!

Looks like about 1 1/2 for me! But It also seems like this track is worth the trip!

My dad is 52 he has a 400ex as well. So you cant run this in the 4 lap race? He would love to only go 4 laps!!! His words of wisdom are "someone has to come in Last" lol. Im trying to talk my wife into racing. But I doubt it she'll probably just hang out and get the food and stuff going!

I have 3 boys! the oldest 5 will soon be riding this Husquvarna 50cc SR. pretty much like the KTM pro! Or we do have this 70cc honda fourwheeler as well.

So do you know when the flat track will be going?

Got some friends in KC I also want to find some more riding area's im sure we'll bump into eachother once or twice!

Looks like I might be racing with your son! Tell him to take it easy on the 31 yr old man! and not to land on me! lol

take care

[redrider91]

my son informed me he would be running in the open NOVICE quad division, not open intermediate.

The open divisions are anything over 400cc and run 5 laps on the entire track. Small bore divisions are under 400cc like blasters, 300ex and warriors and run 4 laps on a 1 mile section of track.

If your father rides a 400ex he would have to ride either open beginner or 400cc limited division, both do 5 laps though. The 30+ class also does 5 laps

The owners are willing to consider other classes, if they had enough of us older guys maybe they would consider an open 40+ class that only does 4 laps. If he comes on race day have him look me up and we can talk to the owner about it.

Also the pee wees run 4 laps on the 1 mile section of track. Parents are alowed on the track for the pee wee races to help the kids out if they have problems.

You can also reach me by email at eclaw6185@hotmail.com

[firman2193]

there is also a mx track just north of lyndon ks. thats south of lawrance on 75. they don't have a lot of info on their site but its www.dragoonmotocross.com. i plan on making my first trip to timber run on the 26th. hope the weather is better this weekend.

[redrider91]

forcast for sunday here is mid 40s and sunny. If thats the case they will probably be open. Its a shame we had all those warm days in Jan and couldnt go to the track.

[firman2193]

i'll be there on sunday for the first time. hope its as good as eveyone has been saying it is. is there any where to eat close to the track? do you need numbers to practice?

[redrider91]

there is consessions at the track. if you dont want that the closest place to eat would be in nevada

[Titanium]

Do any of you guys ride down at Radium(sp) Down by Great Bend. i went there once it was alright.

KORR has a hare scramble there soon!!

[redrider91]

You dont need numbers to practice. According to the website they will open earlier than orginally posted, they will open at 10:30.

As far as food goes, they normally have a concession stand for practices and races. at races they cook hambergers and hotdogs for sale. At practices they dont always cook, but do have drinks for sale. This early in the season I dont know what they'll have at the concession stand, so you may want to bring sandwich stuff and drinks of your own.

As far as resturants, Sheldon only has 1 convienence store. Lamar 12 miles to the south and Nevada 12 miles north have resturants

[jayhawks5575]

Hey whats up fella's im planning on making the trip down to Sheldon it stinks that the weather is only looking like 55 degrees but sunny! It was going to be 65 last I heard must have had a cold front coming thru!

Should be fun!

Hey if anyone is bored and would like to change my head gasket for me let me know!:devil:

[kssandduner]

Do any of you guys ride down at Radium(sp) Down by Great Bend. i went there once it was alright
Any other info on this place?? My parent's live like thirty min from Great Bend. Always looking for other places to ride around there.
