ATLANTIC GRAND PRIX 2006 SCHEDULE! First race April 2nd

OK, mark your calendars! This is it, the final revision to the 2006 Atlantic Grand Prix schedule!
It’s been a extremely trying winter season for all of us here at AtlanticGrandPrix.com, 3 different New Jersey locations that came and went because of environmental issues, but we really don’t want to go into all the ugly details. The point is...that the schedule is complete and all the events are a go!

2006 is shaping up to be a really exciting season.

The first event is Sunday April 2 2006 in Barnegat Township NJ, we’ll be running youth Quads in the morning and Adult Quads in the afternoon. The location of that event is at Shore Line Sand and Gravel on West Bay Avenue in Barnegat Township NJ.

All of our other events are spread out through New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

The other exciting news is we just picked up Irish Valley Motocross and ATV Park in Paxinos, PA and that will now be our season final and that will be on NOV 4th and 5th.

We also have a new feature were you can reserve your RACING NUMBER with our online registration, IT’S FREE and WILL SAVE YOU TIME AT SIGN-UP! If you haven’t done it yet do it today at: http://www.AtlanticGrandPrix.com/AGPReserveYourNumber.html

Dale

Dale,

Thanks, I know how much time end effort you are putting into the series. I have to say you put on a great show! I feel like I am at a National event. The tracks are great! And the best part is you guy listen to rider input. It's great to have a promoter behind quad riders.


Thanks you!

We had the D8 out on the course today. Rounding off all the hard edges and steep drop-offs...I have a final work detail for Sunday and after that it's just back blading the course which will happen next Thursday.

This is going to be a pretty cool course.

Hope to see you all there Sunday April 2

Just got home from the first location of the Atlantic Grand Prix. I spent the day with working with the crew making the track layout. Get ready for some fun! This track is MX quad friendly. The track is all sand NO rocks very wide easy to pass. You don't even need skid plates. All skill levels are welcome! Come join the fun!

You will be fine with room to spare! The woods trail is wide, NO PROBLEM for a MX quad! I Hope to see you there!

The woods section is super wide and the course was layed out with Motocross Quads in mind. The gravel pit is all motocross without the jumps and the woods sections are fast and fun.

We turn the clocks ahead this weekend, so will the times still be the same? As everyone will loose a hour.

Dale, im definitly racing on Sunday, but my little brother wanted to race to. Is there any real big hill climbs on the track? is the track real easy? This would be his first race and he is not the greatest rider, so I dont want to throw him out there and end up getting hurt or discouraged. Thanks.

HI Ross,

We’re still working on the results and they will be posted by Tuesday morning. We had problems with both the Bike and Quad events and are in the process of verifying both of them.

Again, sorry for the delay.

That's a little bit of an exaggeration. I wouldn't call it "wide with room to spare", I'd call it passable.

If you stayed on the intended trail and didn't take the cheater lines then there was enough room for a 50" quad to get through. I'm not saying you took the cheater lines. I'm just backing up Dale and confirming that a 50" wide quad fit through everything on the course. If you go to any other XC race you can't fit through everything on the course with 50" of width. I run 47" and I have some trouble getting through things at the GNCCs.

I won't disagree with that statement at all. If you took out a tape measure I'm sure you'd find 50 inches everywhere you go. I found it difficult to explain to a non-racing friend that 11mph is a typical pace for the wooded sections.

In my mind, "room to spare" means "room to pass" and that just isn't true with a 50"' wide trail. From my perspective, the real "racing" took place in the sand pit area. The only times I passed people in the woods was when they pulled over and let me go, or they crashed, got stock, and I had to take a different route to get around them. I guess I'm just being a little critical of this type of racing and I really wish it were possible to pass slower riders everywhere on the course.

What you explained about passing in the woods doesn't happen in XC racing. You can't pass in the tight woods unless you take a different route through the trees which is illegal unless there is a bottle neck. You basically wait for an opening or the guy in front of you to mess up. I've been lapped many times by Ballance and Borich imagine how they feel when they have deal with lapped traffic every race after the first lap. They deal with over 300 riders in their way. It's common curiously to let a faster rider pass if he is not in your class. There's a lot of little common curiously rules to XC racing. It took me a whole season to learn them. When you talk about the "real racing" you mean passing and what not but XC racing is about racing the clock more than the other riders. Glad you were there to support the series and get a small taste of XC.
