Places to race in Ohio?

[fmf400ex]

I was thinking of racing this upcoming season. this will be my first time. and I was wondering what are some good tracks to got too. I am interested in cross country and motocross. Where are some good places. I live about 20 minutes south of canton, ohio in carrollton. So if you guys could help me thanks.

You have a couple of choices. AMA Districts 11 (Southern Ohio) and 12 (Northern Ohio) and the CRA series which is an "outlaw" series (not sanctioned by the AMA/ATVA).
Here are the websites
CRA (http://www.alltel.net/~racecra/)
D-12 (http://d12ama.com/)
D-11 (http://www.district11ama.com/)

ok thanks for the info cb. Do you run any of these races?

[300EX_HMF]

u can go down to "RENO RACEWAY" its a town beside marietta i race there every year, maybe u can catch me down there this year if u go PM me if u want directions or info!

[crashinmatt]

i race in the CRA. the tracks r spread out between around canton to along the lake and one in PA. there isnt much to choose from in classes. theres mini classes, blaster, womens, 4 stroke 2-stroke, woodsman (mostly first year racers), and senoir. woodsman is a pretty big class. sometimes 3 separate motos for um.

[crashinmatt]

also, check out www.pitracer.com and www.ohioquadracing.com

Thanks crashinmatt i am checking thaty stuff out right now.And hope to see you at some of the tracks in the upcoming season

[crashinmatt]

cool, if u race CRA look for me, i have a black 400ex number 39 racing in the woodsman class.

[fmf400ex]

Yeah I will keep an eye out for you. In think I saw you race last year at malvern, when I was there.

You guys ever go to the Holeshot? That’s one of my favorite tracks. It’s in Linesville P.A. Also CRA sanctioned. I've heard Malvern is a pretty easy track though, so what is the biggest jump there?

there is a xc race at honda hills on 12/22/02 proble a little over an hour drive for you it is a district 11 race

[rookiex]

Hey man ill tell you where to go...there are indoors going on in ohio at jackson and the expo center...go to www.americanmx.com and look at the line up for races....I race all over ohio and ranked 5th in state....its always fun to race indoors cuz pros show up like FARR and jackson...if you are an A class rider its really a good bit of fun...but check that web site it should tell you what you wanna know....

[rookiex]

p.s i broke my leg at honda hills don't go there its evil

fmf400ex, I was planning on racing most of the D-11 harescrambles next year until someone stole my R back in October :mad: So I am quadless now and will be so until spring of '04 unless I stumble into some unexpected money before then.

rookie, the race at Honda Hills on the 22nd is 1 of the 2 harescrambles they will run for the '03 season. The other one is sometime in March. Also, edit your sig a little so its not so darn long!:p

chavez, are you going to the race at HH? I will be there to watch. Mike Trapp should be there with his new GasGas if GT Thunder gets his a-arms finished for him.

Look out Chavez, Super Trapp's coming to take the world championship away from ya. :p

[crashinmatt]

fmf, it might have been me, i raced at malvern a couple times. but its not my favorite track at all.

breaks-alot, ive been to holeshot, but didnt race. i went with a buddy, but i was gettin over a broken leg. it looks pretty cool, but they race a lot on friday and saturday nights. im lucky to be able to race on sundays only. and malvern is an easy track, except when its muddy, then it just sucks. as for the biggest jump?, i wouldnt call any of them real jumps, but there is a small triple and a downhill triple. but they r smaller. plus a few other hills they call jumps.

[fmf400ex]

Yeah it looks like an easy track. Well they opend up gravity cavity and that is probaly the biggest jump. But I though it should be a good rookie track since there is not a lot of big stuff.

[fmf400ex]

Where are these indoor races being held at. I hear people say in jackson. Well do they mean jackson township or what?

[crashinmatt]

im not sure where those indoors. but CRA is having their indoors on Jan10, 11, and 12 at the summit county fairgrounds. and then again Feb 21, 22, and 23. im gonna be at all of them, well the CRA ones.

Hey now your forgetting one thing you have to catch me first before you can crash me.

So when did it change for Blue to Super Trapp. I figure if I got back on a blue quad that's all I'd hear again.

Chavez don't mess with me becuase I can call Rummer and have him bring the green blaster out.

[chavez]

lol well i better keep my mouth shut because dont want to jinks myself. hey you should post some of your pics of that gasgas here the guys would love to see it start a new post MY NEW GAS GAS
