for all of you guys that run nationals or the wspa series or planning to how much does it cost you guys for the whole season or a normal weekend? who pays for all of it? what kind of rigs do you guys have? how many quads? how do your parents or you get off work or leave work so often ? How often do you guys do you do motor rebuilds or tear your quads down? How much school do you guys miss that are in school? Anyone fly to the nat's? I'm really interested in how some of you guys manage to make it to just about every race.

Well first of all Nationals are a huge rip off. Its about 40 bucks a class, 15 dollar pit pass for pitbikes, 20 gate fee, etc. I go with a open trailer and a tent. I miss like 20 days of school. My mom gets off of work to go with us because she loves the whole sport. I know of some people that fly to them.


Basically you need to be rich to run the whole series.

I am building my quad up this winter and will be hittin up NEMX (indoor track) and training hard. Then move up to A and try and qualify for some Pro Am stuff.

Jeff, If you have never raced a Nat or WPSA then race C for the first time, but watch out cause those guys are SKETCHY.

lol yea, it'll be my first

hell if its crowded i'm used to it, every C class race in D7 has 25-35 quads, thsi year was my first year racing so i did pretty damn good, i wanna move up fast so i can get in the Nat's and WPSA's and make a name for myself but i got patentice, i'v been out of work for 2 months and probable for another 2 so i have no idea how i am gonna pay for a LT setup
