Everyone come out to Briar patch Raceway Oct. 1st. They will be racing year round EVERY other Sunday starting at 3pm. Its located about 10 minutes from Arkadelphia, Arkansas. the track has been around for a few months and is gaining support from corprate sponsers. but the problem is getting all teh riders there at the same time. Tony is working on what is turning out to be a very nice place to ride and race, and you dont need a decked out quad to be competitive out here so far 400exs have dominated every race. Tony said he'd love to see a yamaha out there on top, but a few of us regulars have a reply to that:devil: . right now they jsut opened up the XC track which is very fun, very fast with lots of lines and we need more riders to come and race, Throphys in the top 3 of every class are arwarded.

Please email Tony Hill @ briarpatchracing@hotmail.com
or call him at 870 245 3023


here is me coming out on the straightaway during practice from awhile back

You can count me in. We need more tracks around here. I'm not really into XC and TT, but if I can still run knobbies, I can handle it.

TT tires aren't required? Is this track always dry like in the pic? try to post a pic of the whole track. I'd like to try the LT-R out on this track.



We need more tracks...? There isnt one every where you turn around, but we have a couple....more would deffinately be nice though.

the track is usually dry it seems as tho reversed kendas work best, its does get hard if it rains ALOT but usally it pretty loose like in that picture, someone brought an LTR out there a few weeks ago and couldnt keep up with the regulars on the 400exs lol but yea everyone try and make it out Rain or shine we will race so bring an ez-up canopy or somthing if you dont have one you can park next to me. we will prolly have the enclosed trailer this time around,


here is a overview of the tt track the black is the start, the grey is the flat track, the brown is where is breaks of the tt into the woods, and then where it comes back out for the finish line

my gf will be at this next one so i will have better pictures if someone doesnt make it out to see for yourself, im the yellow x fromt he picture above

at the corner before the last of the 1st lap i was making the pass on bronson and he accidentally side swiped me and over the top of the berm i went and ended up getting highcentered on it, well we started the second lap nascar style in a line because bronson and spencer pulled off after he wiped me out so into the 3rd lap i made this dive on the inside of bronson coming onto the straight

and sure enough he over did another corner and slid way to far (they tried to tell him to run those fast tekkers backwards) giving me the room to make the pass
