First GNCC National--HELP

[bulldogfallon]

OK....we are off to our first GNCC race and need some help to keep my little guy running through mud and water.

Can you please post some pics of anything that will keep us running?

We are short on time so your solution doesn't have to be pretty :)


We have the Keihin PE24 carb on a DRX70

Thank you for your help

what up gary whem we race in wet mud i just take a milk jug and fit it over the air filter it keeps it very dry and clean. i dont fit it tight so the mud will fall off the milk jug (tight enough so the jug wont fall off) just cut the jug open leave the handle, when installing a fine performance part like this i put the handle on the bottom and poke 2 holes on top then zip tie it on this works great
i have done this on a air cooled but not on a liquid cooled so i have no input to keep the radiator clean {gobs of tape i guess}

hope this helps
later

Spray type cooking oil on fenders. screen door wire in front of rad. Not on it but about a 1/2 inch away easier to cleaen if it is real muddy. Zip ties on hand grips cut off. they help if gloves get slick. Run some type of hand guard. We run the stock snorkle and not had a water air issue. Make sure your skid plates are in good shape. A gripper seat helps alot also. In that sand down there I would run those maxxis tires. xcross

used the milk jug trick a few times last year in down pour rain never had one issue . works great

[drxracing]

get the big jug of gatorade that shape fits perfect i drill some holes on it so i can zip tie i will try to put some pic up

gary,
to keep the water off the filter run a dryer flex vent hose i think it
6 inches wide from the carb to the fender faced away toward the rear about 12 inches. we zip tie it to the carb and to the fender.
it was not my idea but all the dads around here run it and doesnt really effect the jetting like the tube does. i can get you a
pic if you need it.

good luck to dillan maybe he will make it on tv, i think versus records
the events. they have a kids segment

[FISH ON!]

Here's what you need Gary.......can you fab it up tonight before the 8 am start?

Go with the stock remote tube and UNI. Also cover the headlight hole with one of your hoods. My son has put that to the test and it has worked fine so far. Ours required some rejetting when we went with the tube.

Good luck tomorrow ! Are you coming the following week to Georgia? Hope to see you there.

be really carefull with that one. i saw one of the top riders in our district lose a moto because some how the vent hose shredded and bound up in between his tire and hub and locked him up.

looks great Todd !!!! see ya in Georgia !! will be there Friday around 5:00

[bulldogfallon]

We survived the practice round...no water yet and it wasn't on the race area..

This is a lot of fun...

I can see why this part of the sport is growing so fast

Thanks for all of the suggestions

[bulldogfallon]

No rain!!!

Dillan finished 5th out of like 15 70cc riders.

He had a encounter with a tree that dropped him back a spot or two late in the race.

He has a broken protector and some brusied and scratched ribs, but overall it was a great experience

Thats an awsome job Dillian. Keep it up. You was in the top 5 wich means that you did really well. Great job Gary for keping his bike up. Great work Dillian and Gary Fallon.

I got the little guy out of a tree and told him to tell his dad he owed me a cold one...He was on the throttle and blasting me with sand as i was saying good luck !!!!!

[MOTOADICT2]

This was our first gncc and we had a great time..Seth raced ftr qaudscrambles 2 years ago and then they were canceled so we moved to race mx local in florida..as long as he has somewhere to race it dosent matter to him what he races!Good luck to every one in Ga..See ya next year....
Keith Brown
Seth Brown #4 drr 70

[cwjr]

Tell Seth great job and he gave Charlie a great battle ...Charlie said they swapped positions several times during the 1st few laps. Charlie also said he thought he checked out twice and then BOOM, the black #4 was back on my bumper. Great race and best of luck this season.

Hey Gary - How does that RXR perform? Did it do its job on the recent crash?

[JIM GRACE]

nice pic of the holeshot, roost shots are the best. hows those ribs
it looks like it hurts pretty bad. glad to see he jumped back on.

powder coat looks sweet really brings it all together.
