Hare Scrambles?

What is Hare Scrambles?Ive heard about em but never knew what they were.Are they like Cross Country Races?

[Teufel]

Hare Scrambles and Cross Country are basically one in the same. Woods trails, fields...natural terrain....I love it

[R-Crazy]

[One_Bad_400]

how long is one lap?

[cdalejef]

normally they are between 8 and 13 miles per lap but I have seen them as many as 25 miles per lap. The races last anywere from 1.5 hours to 3 hours depending on the series. GNCC's run for 2 hours. In a GNCC the top riders do 4 or 5 laps.

Some places require an aftermarket kill "tether" switch and a chest protector.

Other than a possible AMA membership and distict card.... You will be "decent" enough to race!:cool:

If you are only going to compete in local races i would say you need...tires, pipe, nerfs, skids, and thats about all you HAVE to have! But if your going to be in like GNCC or sumthing you will need to invest at least around $10,000 i think! In the August 2002 ATVAction it says "Unfortunately, it now takes a twent-some thousand dollar atv to win"

In the August 2002 ATVAction it says "Unfortunately, it now takes a twent-some thousand dollar atv to win" Not true at all! The only thing that is required on your quad to race GNCC's is a teather cord! There are all sorts of classes you can run from first year racer to 4-stroke stock to pro. Just ask Brent and William Howell (indyGNCC) they dominate the morning race on basically STOCK 400ex's. The twenty-some thousand dollar atv doesn't apply anymore. Chad Duvall won the overall from the pro production class on a modified 400ex and it is no were near $20,000.

[kc 300EX]

Man we got some kool members on our site:D

Anyone wanna sell me a fake ID? or how about an extremely modded TRX 90 that will handle a 6 foot hundred forty pound 15 year old? no? damn

[roostin_dale]

man you think you got it bad...im 13...5'10 1/2...145 lbs!

[markeg192]

There's a Harescrambles in Tebbetts Mo. this Sunday. This course has a couple of rocky creek sections, but it also has alot of open fields so it isn't real technical.
XC racing will push you physically but, it doesn't require you to make big doubles or take chances.

GO FOR IT!!!!

[indygncc]

Our quads are bone stock except for Renthals, and Holeshot XC's all the way around. We dont even change the airfilter. Pipes are also pointless if your internals are stock on your 400. You might gain 1 HP, then all you will do is piss the neighbors off. So just take your stock bike to the races and buy some Holeshots or Razrs.

[R-Crazy]

are there any XC tracks in or around NJ?

not true,,,,,,if you take a stock 400ex and put an aftermarket exhaust on it....it will add up to 10hp(depending on the pipe)

[BadA$$440]

What are you smokin? There isnt a ppipe out there that will come close to 10hp w/out anything done to te engine.

[roostin_dale]

well.....thats what my dad told me! He thinks he is a know it all(but he isn't even close)! I thought it would add around 5hp...wont it?

[BadA$$440]

I dont know, like you said, it depends on the pipe. You can get anywhere from 1hp to 5 or 6hp.
