Pro400EXC, Yea I'll be there! I've got the back of the 4 wheeler all cleaned up so you'll have something nice to look at during the race!:blah J/K Take it easy on me. It's been awhile.


One more thing. If I slipped you and BAD***** A few buck$ on the start line, could ya'll let me get a good start so I can look good in front of the wife??? :D

damn man you were kicking some 400ex *** of the line in that race, good job!!

[Rip_Tear]

Sweet streamers! Those might create some unwanted drag!;)

[chavez]

second race on the 400 in second place behind GNCCer

[Extremeracer167]

Log Hopper race in August at the old boyers track

[Extremeracer167]

Another at the start. See at one point in the race, i was actually beating JG. hes on the left(didnt get a good start, but caught up quickly) and thats me in second place.

[Extremeracer167]

whoops forgot the pick:D

[Extremeracer167]

I saw this on a forum somewhere. its a pic of.........ohhhh whats his name.......hhmmmm CHRIS BORICH. Launchin a big double. I would love to race around this MX track!!

[Extremeracer167]

dangit forgot the pic again!!:D

[250rmike]

great pics guys. i cant wait to back to rausch they do have some great mx tracks

[Dave400ex]

Borich is awesome. A lot of the GNCC guys are good at MX. I know Ballance isn't bad. They should have a MX race for all the GNCC racers and a XC race for the GNC racers. That would be cool to do a switched race and see who is better.

[Extremeracer167]

Well i believe Jones, Farr, and Ellis have already proved to be super fast in the GNCCs. And im sure a few others have also. Ballance is very fast on MX, Jeff seegot was also incredibly fast on the MX track also. it would be interesting!

[toby400ex]

thanks for the pics guys, my user cp didnt show that anyone had replyed, it is bein funky

[Porkchop]

i wanna see dana creech race an GNCC race... creech if you read this this should be a little kick in the behind to go and try it.

Funny you mention that,, was talkin with Dana about a month ago and mentioned I started racing it and that it was much harder on the body than I thought. His reply was,,,,that's why you don't see me out there doin it..:D

[toby400ex]

hahaha, and it is scarier than gettin some big air cuz ya gotta watch out for them pesky trees rocks ruts and deer.:D

[QuadRacer041]

lets not kid ourselves, lets see you hit a double were the take off is 10ft high the gap is 60-70ft, and you cant see the lading till your 20ft in the air.
i think its a little easier to dodge tree's all you gotta down is slow down if it gets a little hairy.

[86atc250r]

I race both woods and MX... I've landed jumps well in excess of 70' countless times, and believe me, once you race in the woods and you'll gain a whole new respect for trees, rocks, ruts, and even deer......

After a while 70' gaps at the MX track become quite routine & you can size up what it's going to take to clear the jump by just eye-balling it.

Blasting thru an unfamiliar 5 to 10 mile course every race at warp speed with your front tires sometimes less than inches from trees that are not going to move if you hit them can be equally as challenging and sometimes equally as dangerous.

Luckily, I've never been at an XC race where a death occurred, but I have been at several where people were either airlifted out or taken to the ER via ambulance.

I guess what it boils down to is if you're flying thru the air 20' up and 70+' long over doubles and triples, you are not at the novice level... If you ride an equally aggressive level in the woods, the dangers can be equally as great.

Excellent point. You may think of it as just racing through some woods but when it comes down to it, its not as safe as it looks. If you think about it the danger is pretty much equal between the too.

[toby400ex]

mehh, i just know its scray to break down in the middle of an xc race cuz ya gotta pull off for 2 hours and hope you can get towed back, i havent broke down , but i bent a tie rod bad enough that i couldnt stay on the trail at any speed, but thats my fault, and it was all fenced off so i couldnt cut through to get back to the truck i had to take the trail.:(

[Extremeracer167]

I think for someone to say that XC isnt as challenging as MX, they are throwing out a bunch of BS, and prob. have never entered in a XC race. Now ive never raced a National MX, but i have raced a few local MXs. But im NOT a MXer, i race the GNCC series. Personally i thought the 15-20 minute moto was a joke. I was just geting warmed up when they threw the checkered flag. Lets see all of you guys that think XC isnt as tough as MX go 2 + hours as fast as u can. And then tell us how much harder MX is. Ive seen sooo many of you "fast" MX guys huffing and puffing after a decent battle with another rider for 20 min. And for some reason u guys think that a XC race is a leasurely ride through the woods. U will know what its like to be truley beat and exhaust after a XC race. Not just out of breath. So to any of you guys that think MX is so much more demanding then XC, stop talkin the BS and get out there and race one:rolleyes:

if you werent tired after doing a moto of mx then you werent going that fast buddy.
i NEVER said XC was easy or not scary or dangerous.i know its just as brutal.
i just said that i think its a little more scairy tryin to jump a 70ft double then ridin past trees, of course the faster you go the more chance that if you hit a tree your gonna be screwed, but you can always slow down. when your jumpin you either make it or get hurt pretty bad.

gabe as far you saying how demandin xc is i agree, but just how you say hitting a big jump gets routine an equally talented xc rider should think going through trees is routine., not all mx tracks are the same, just like xc tracks.

[86atc250r]

Just like in XC, where if you don't mind losing, you can "just slow down" - the same can be said for MX, if you don't mind losing, you have the option of rolling the jump - it's the same difference.

As far as not all MX tracks being the same, that's obvious, but typically MX tracks run practice during the week, the day before the race, and typically the day of the race - in many XC races, you have only the option of walking the course.

Maybe you should try competing at an XC race sometime & see how easy it is to "just slow down".

It's easy to say from the outside looking in, but there's many instances where you're every bit as committed as the guy hitting the 70' double - sometimes more so & you don't have the option of "just slowing down".

[QuadRacer041]

ok dude, what ever,
i was just giving my opinion, i dont want to have a debate back and forth so ill just stop here.
you have your opinion and i have mine.

[jja125]

there are alot of xc tracks that run on both woods and mx tracks like down at high point xc national so you spend 90% of your time in the woods and like 10% on the mx track each lap.

just my $0.02

[Extremeracer167]

why back out of a debate? This is when its fun to be on forums. i think ATC hit the nail on the head. WHen your out there racing for the series points. Taking a 10 second break, or just slowing down for a few seconds, u have NOOOOO idea how competeitive these XC races are. If u dont go balls out the ENTIRE race, u are getting passed. And thats a FACT! And When u just "slow down" u loose any rythm that u had and its hard to get it back! So just slowing down doesnt work.......AT ALL

[QuadRacer041]

ok, if you say so

Well I just started racing XC and everytime I've crossed the finish line,,they litteraly handed me my arse. Now don't get me wrong,,i've raced my fair share of MX and it flat wore me out. There's been several times I've got back to the truck and couldn't even get my damn water bottle open the arm pump was so bad.. But with XC arm pump sets in and then ya got about another 1.5 hours of racing left.:eek: using your palm to push the thumb throttle is no fun,,especially on hill climbs. so,,the way I see it..you need big balls to race MX and if your not tired at the end,,your not racing very hard.. takin 30-50 jumps at the same time with another 50 inch quad is not for the faint of heart. XC doesn't really take big balls,,but you better be in good shape, have lots of stamina, and be ready to torture your body for 1.5 or 2 hours none stop.. :eek:

[toby400ex]

yeah, i hate arm pump, my thumb didnt kno wwhat i was tellin it to do, i thought my throttle fell off or got loose on the bars, it was wierd(my first time getting armpump). I took my hand off the grip for a sec then i was ready to hold on for another 5 minutes, it was funky shizznit. And i need to get in better shape, and im usin some of those spring things for my hands and lower arms, maybe it'll help that darn forsaken arm pump.:confused:

this pic show you how steep one of the slopes was that they raced up Your right, that pic doesn't do that hill justice! That was the best track of the year!!!:cool:

[Extremeracer167]

That hill was between 2-3 gear for me weighing 15o and some decent motor work. 2nd was tapped, and 3rd was too high with a 14t front and stock rear if that gives any indication. And it was LOOOOOONG. And towards the top there was a nice little drop off that u could jump. Overall.....that track was TOUGH!!! My dad helped change 26 tires!! Thats NUTS!

[cdalejef]

I started at the bottom in second then hit 3rd about half way and taped her out all the way to the top on my R. You could hit that jump, land and hammer across a flat field and never let off the gas.
I only had 1 flat and can't wait to go back next year.

[Extremeracer167]

i had 1 flat too, but that flat happenned at the VERY begginning of the lap, andi lost my rythm and couldnt get it back. Plus i was just plain WHOOPED. My last lap took about an hour!

[cdalejef]

I rode the 2nd lap with the bead completely broken down!!! It was a b1tch!!!!

I believe that it does take balls to race XC. Even know your not hitting 70 foot jumps your keeping yourself moving for so long and right there to not give up and "Slow down" is tough. And still flying through the woods and nipping trees seemings pretty dangerous also. In my mind they both equal with competition and "Balls." But what am I saying, your the XC racer :huh

[mx517]

How wide are your front ends for XC racing? Do you leave stock length so it's easier to get through the woods or do you go with +2 a arms?

[Extremeracer167]

Alot of the guys run +1 a-arms, but bring it back in a tad with 4-1 offset wheels. And the axles are usually +1. Thats what alot of the pros run anyways.

Originally posted by mx517

I've got houser +1 arms on mine and a LSR axle with the spacers taken out and ti's tight in alot of places. Too tight in some..kinda gets me skeert a little..:huh

[toby400ex]

i know some people that do the missouri harescrambles here in my state, and some of the pros are running -2 setups on their r's, which is 300ex width.:)

[toby400ex]

what hill you be talkin abooooot jeff, show me this hill, is it from the ironman, i dont think i saw it do ya have a link.

[cdalejef]

I'm talking about the hill in that pic that was posted on the first page of this thread. It was from The Wisp race in MD.

[toby400ex]

hmmm, if that doesnt show how steep it really was i guess it was pretty steep.

[250rmike]

yea it was really steap we could barely walk down it let alone walk up it or even ride up it. i can timagine stalling on that thing and having to back down that sucker

[cdalejef]

That was a black diamond ski slope that was about 300 yards long and extremely steep. If you would have crashed on that hill or the other one that was real similar.....you would have kissed your quad bye bye!!!!

[Wingnut]

That slope is named "Devil's Drop!"

[cdalejef]

Ya, thats it!!!:macho

[toby400ex]

sounds like a fun challenge :D ;)

[lt250r91]

Yep, Wisp was a tough tire on tires and thoughs hill were steep. I'm glad the morning class didn't have to climb the hills.

Here's a picture of my brand new factory cannondale front tire and rim that I rode 4 miles on the second lap with a flat.

As Chad Duvall said "Rocks what rocks, more like boulders"

[Extremeracer167]

The worst part about that hill......Nobody really mentioned this. B4 u went up that hill, u went down pretty much the same hill but a little further over. And on the 1st lap, with it still being grass covered, it was VERY SCARY. Cause anyone that rides knows that if u lock up the brakes on grass u just go faster. Well imagine going down a 3-400 ft hill SUPER STEEP covered in grass, so u didnt really want to use your breaks. Then at the bottom of the ****(u actually never went to the bottom of the hill) u actually had to make a real hard left hander on the hill go down about a 30 ft straightaway then u turn left again and went straight up that hill. No run AT ALL!! It was a really wild section of the track. AH what the h#ll im i talkin about........the whole dang track was wild!!

[lt250r91]

The other thing is that all the hills are for skiing and driving ranges. So the ground is super hard packed and traction was very interesting. All you did was slide, it was almost like you were on ice.

[Extremeracer167]

Heres a shot of what it looked like. I know its far away, but u will get the idea. The 1st big uphill was also pretty massive. And it was really hard to keep the front end down. Then the BIG downhill. And u can see how u turn like halfway down the hill then shooot right back up. The hills dont look that big on this pic. But just look at that ski lodge. That this was HHUUUUUGGEEE That should give u an idea of how the hills dwarf that building. And i bet that building would sit on 2-3 football fields

[chavez]

what i like the best is when i threw a chain and could coast all the way back to lt250r91 trailor which was a good mile and a half away

[lt250r91]

Yep, I think that was the fastest I saw Chavez go all day. Just messin with you. As I remember Chavez at least kept his tires aired up. He helped change front tires on my machine the first 2 laps.

I then help change 6 tires on Jared Huffman's machine in the afternoon race.

[cdalejef]

I'm ready to go back!!! Mark my word.....I will not get a flat this year! Watch out 4-stroke mod guys!!!:devil

[chavez]

you know the funny thing i ran 15lb in my front tires that race
fatboy didnt have a flat either and he weighs in at 380lb

[Extremeracer167]

BRING IT ON STOESS!!!:D
After your done racin me, you will understand the true meaning of being my B!TCH:D

That hill is wild. Im new with Xc so is that how the tracks usually are? Do they let you ride there just to practice or mess around on? Thanks.

And Rico said that MX toke more balls ;)

[Extremeracer167]

yeah they usually bring u out into a few wide open sections. And no they dont let u ride the track at all. U can walk it, but no practice or parade laps. Afterall we are the REAL men that dont need practice;) lol

hey these aren't of me and if there you sorry if u didn't want them on here i was just watching the harescramble at honda hills today and got a few pictures enjoy:D, first one is i believe lt250 or something like that taking off on the gas gas right after the beggining of the race

[Lil90man!!]

heres the actual start line before it started

[Lil90man!!]

i have to show everyone this one:devil(in case you can't tell its the gas gas stuck:blah)

[lt250r91]

Yep, that was me on the GasGas. I had an awful race. Lets just say twist throttles suck. I was fighting a cramp in my wrist the whole race, which caused me to not be able to open the quad up. This course was super tight in spots. The suspension also was off. Front was stiff and rear was to soft. I'm order a thumb throttle today for it and going to adjust the suspension.

[cdalejef]

Who won?

Jeffrey Vensel won the 2-stroke Class and the overall on his 250r w/ a bashee engine in it. Todd Krupinski won the 4-stroke class on a Z400.

[indygncc]

I think Jeff would have given Macri all he could handle in 4 stroke Mod this past year. Age does not matter in XC as much as MX. If anything Jeff has an advantage of being a very smart racer. I personally watched Jeff run right on my brothers *****. It was a muddy race and neither one of them could not ride to their abilities. But I would have to say that I am impressed with Jeff's racing abilities.

[cdalejef]

Thanks Adam! I think you would have been up there with us if you could have raced!
That race was muddy?:confused: :D

[Dave400ex]

Hopefully I can be as good as you Guys some day!

[Extremeracer167]

Yeah Brad is pretty fast. Alot of his speed comes with his engine. At taylortown, Brad and Matt Foutch were running 1st and 2nd, and i was just following them for the first 3-4 miles becuase they were smashin into eachother and i didnt want to get involved in that. But then i got a flat and went over the bars and lost em. They were both super fast, but brad had a HUGE advantage in the open stuff with his 500 kit.

I agree but all that fancy stuff sure does make it easier on the body sometimes.

[toby400ex]

well, the good thing about a stock quad is that they usually wont fall apart from all the tinkering that we'ver all done. But good tires and skids are a must.

In my 15 years of pro racing, I believe I've earned the right to be over opinionated!

[250Xtreame]

hey whats up with all of the banshee's?? I go to small races all the time, and there are a couple that race xc there, but ive never been to a gncc. How do the shees run there?

[465Stroker]

No problem.... I just hope Jeffy gets me my shocks before the Dutchman race! My arse is sore! I just got my steering stabilizers in today too.

[jlhughes750]

WHAT WAS THE FINISHING ORDER I THOUGHT DK GOT 2ND OVERALL???????

[465Stroker]

Dan won the overall.....

[Dave400ex]

When's the CDale going to get all Modded out?

[465Stroker]

Soon... I am currently collecting parts and taking count as to what actually improves the machine so I have been basically running it stock. Right now I have Tag bars, Douglas beadlocks, Maxxis Tires, Cycra Handguards, HMF pipe, and Blaze map. A steering stabilizer will be needed before shocks! It will be finished by the end of the month hopefully.

Nope! Slwing down in an MX race was a bad decision for me twice, I got landed on because I was on the ground while other quads were airborn. Got lucky though, nobody got hurt.

[03GNCC270]

YES STRIPPED THE SPLINES RIGHT OFF OF THE SHAFT.
THAT MOUNTAIN WAS TOUGH STUCK IN 3RD GEAR.

Thats what I thought. Me and Jamie Shepard were pitted next to you, us and ol Macri tried to assist you. I know your pain 2yrs ago in PA I was in second place in the Mod class and the shifter broke and had to ride back to pits in second, managed to finish 8th, How did you do, I noticed that your spare was defective to.

[03GNCC270]

ENDED UP 26TH. I JUST PUT THAT STOCK ONE ON LAST WEEK, RODE AROUND AND IT WAS FINE. THE SPARE WAS THE ONE I TOOK OFF. I BENT IT AT RAUSCH CREEK. THANKS FOR THE HELP.

Cool. Your are a die hard GNCC'er you did not quit and thats what its all about. Better luck in PA!:macho
