Nationals? (gnc)

[250rmike]

who all is gonna be racing in the nationals this year? i think it woul be cool if we all parked together. please put ur name number and some pics of ur ride so we can all meet up.

[MrP]

I am going to all of them. I went to all of them last year and there is nothing more fun!

[R-Crazy]

MrP, did u have a sponser help with trailoring or did you do all the driving yourself. just out of curiosity, how many miles was the whole season, and how did you do?

[MrP]

Last year I had no sponsors besides the local shops in town. My parents also support me 100% in racing. I did all of the driving to all of the Nationals. It was around 15K miles. 2002 was my first year racing ever and I finished 7th overall in 250B. This year I have sponsors so it will be easier.

Good job.....:)

i'm gonna try to run a few of them myself this year..mainly the ones close to home i guess..

[MrP]

Thanks Rico, we will have to meet up.

[rookiex]

I will this year...this was my first year well not even a year I started racing back in late july in 4 stroke c and won 10 races in a row..then they bumped me up to B won lots in that and lots of podiums and then A is deffinatly where the big boys play because it took me alot to catch up but now I am back to winning in the indoors....now I race pro class too...and this past weekend I took my first win in the pro class....over big ben jackson...He gave me his second place trophie cuz he knows me and his cousin is my best friend phllip bapist...you can look him up on the internet he is fast too....but anyway I am in 4 stroke A....in less that a year...

Looks like we got some fast MX guys out here..I'm sure Mity Mo will be trackin it to all the GNC's too...

[MrP]

rookiex- When was the last time you raced against Ben? At the awards banquet he said he was retireing because he could not ride any more due to the pain in his back. Is he going to race locals only or try and come back? Thanks.

[raptor_02]

I plan on running 8 of them next year so I will get credit for points. I'll probaly run 250C or 4 STROKE C depending on which I feel I can do better in. I will have to do all the driving my self and I'm in an 88 model toyota pick up. Oh Betsy will make it though, she runs strong :D I probaly won't run Southwick (15 hour drive) or Buchanan. I'll definetly be at the rest unless something comes up. Here's a pic of my quad

[raptor_02]

i always post the wrong pic, here is a better one

[stocktires]

whoa dude, your right shock looks shorter that your left one :huh
good luck on national racing everybody!
I hope to be racing some in 2004

[trx400ex]

I might race the one in Casey ILL if im 16 by then ( anyone who when it will be?) I went to it this year and it was pretty neat.

[rookiex]

jackson will race again just not as much...lots of local races trust me....but its true he is backin out of the nationals as far as I know...atleast for a year or so

[fourwhls]

I will hit the close MXs and am shooting for running all of the TTs.

Hope to see you all there....

[250rmike]

ill be looking forward to seeing some of u guys what classes/numbers/bikes are u running

[Mity Mo]

Looks like we got some fast MX guys out here..I'm sure Mity Mo will be trackin it to all the GNC's too...

Rico is dead on the money there. I will be racing the +30 and A Production classes. Be on the silver and blue Nacs 440EX #20. Little bro will be in 250A and 250 Pro-Am on the Red Nacs Laeger #52. See you boys and girls there.......Mo:p

I hope to be racing some in 2004 I know , you can't see it but theres a little hump of gravels there. My left wheels is on it and my right wheel is not. Hope to have a 416 Piston and a Sparks drop in cam before nationals. Maybe some nerfs and a header pipe as well, still don't know about the nerfs yet

ill be at a couple. ill probably mostly race locally tho

[kicker696]

i'll prob. be at red bud, not sure if i will be able to go to any others though

oooooooooo..ok,
O yeah, I thought nerfs where manditory for nationals?

[250rmike]

yes nerfs are mandatory at any ama race except for cross country

[raptor_02]

no there not, i have raced several ama sanctioned races and they have never said anything about NERFS. Now for nationals they may be mandatory, i'm not sure.

[MrP]

You wont race at a GNC MX or TT National with out Nerf Bars. You wont even make it through through tech.

[Mity Mo]

I would not even think about racing without nerfs. Thats a real bad combination. If your AMA district isnt enforcing that then shame on them. That is not cool. You can get seriously friggin hurt without them in MX or TT. I cant speak for GNCC but I sure as heck would not run without them in MX or TT. I know I wont let anyone on any course I race on without them if they are even thinking of running in my class. MO

[400exRacerX]

I'll be attending all the GNC events,,, who will be at Macon? I'll sure be there.

[racerx573]

I'll be at High Point and Budds Creek for sure. And whatever other ones we can afford at the time. I'll be racing 250 B on my R (#73). It's my avatar now, but will look way different. I raced 250 C at HP last year and crashed in my LCQ, I did good my first heat up until the 3rd lap when I started to fade cuz it was pretty hot and I wasn't riding up to par. Ask Norm, he was there....ask him to describe my holeshot...LOL :p

[400exBro]

i will be at reb bud,,, only to watch tho...
can any one tell me the date of the race so i can plan ahead of time?????
We are going down there not only to watch the race but to get a over all performance look at the cannondales....

But i will take pics, just tell your number, bike and what class you race in!!! And i am a good photograher

And if you park beside a mercedes benz ML 320 with a ontario licence plate that would be us!!!

lata

[raptor_02]

well i'm glad i found out you have to have nerfs for a nationals. I will definetely purchase me some nerfs now

[Davids440ex]

my Buddy Taylor Moles just got his C dale Moto will be there this year, i won't, i will try to make it the 04 seasons.

[MxDale71]

I should be at a few during the summer after I get out of school. I might take a semester off before I go to college so I can work and get my ride better fixed up for the 04 season.

I'll be on the red C-dale Cannibal #71, driving either a red 01 Chevy (Dad's), or a blue and grey 84 Chevy (mine). Let me see if I can find a good pic of the Dale.

Where are you racing a,b&c classes at, because all dist 11 has is 2 stroke and 4 stroke and sometimes pro.I know its not the nationals because you said you won 10 races in c class and alot more in b and there not that many nationals. And the last time I taked to Ben he wasn't related to Phllip Bapist,Derrick Wisemen is but not Ben. What indoor race did you bet Ben?:confused:

[MxDale71]

:D Thanks man. I still have a lot of things I wanna do. After I get an axle and Sparks exhaust, I'm gonna buy some black shockwears, and get my a-arms and swingarm powdercoated red. Should look pretty good :cool: :D !!

[raptor_02]

its awesome the way it is, some ELKA suspension would look good on it :D How do the stock CDALE axles hold up?? Are they pretty stout??

[MxDale71]

I'd say it's pretty tough. I haven't bent mine and my quad has been through some pretty rough situations. Multiple flips on more than one occasion, and I've cased quite a few doubles and triples. I'm gonna get a Lonestar +4 axle though. If I had a lot of money, I would have red Houser +3 a-arms, Houser steering stem, Honda tierod ends, black steelbraided brake lines all around, 4+1 Carbon fiber wheels up front w/ red beadlocks and Holeshot MX's, C-dale offsect Hyper rear wheels w/ red beadlocks and Razr MX's, Lonestar axle, Denton steering stabalizer, Sparks exhaust, X440 (or whatever the C-dale MX bike is) mapping, red powdercoated swing arm, quad tech seat cover, Lonestar +4 axle, Elka triple rate SSD's all around w/ black shockwears. That would be a bad mutha right there.

Red Bud is the weekend of May 3/4. Hopefully the weather will be better this year.

[250rmike]

i like rm axles better than the lonestar. my dream bike is a full walsh/elka cannondale speed with lrd pipe moto440 mapping, somec hypers all the way around w/ red rings. razr mx's tag t-2 cr low bend black bars and red plasti0c like mxdales

when you buy the sparks exhuast could you please give me a review on the product???? i am wanting to buy a sparks exhuast but i haven t heard a lot about them, i love the sparks products they have always been good...

also about the lrd powered dale i doubt lrd will ever make a exhuast for the dale, i talked to them and they siad they aren t planning on making any so..... it is kind of a bummer

[MxDale71]

I definitely want to go with Sparks... I'm not to impressed with LRD anyways, but thats just me. Others may like them, but I don't. I'm usually more worried about suspension than I am power. To be honest though, I wanna buy a new pipe just so I can mess with my suspension a little more. I can lower the back end, but I need a new exhaust first because my stock pipe hits my brake caliper if my landing is a little rough.

[racerx573]

I'll be at High Point and Budd's for sure. And whatever other ones we can afford...

[fmf300ex23]

[250rmike]

ok i talked it over with my dad and were only going to a few of the nationals this year and doing alot of local races at budds creek and up in pa. i am definatly going to budds mt. morris and whatever else i feel like driving to for a national. see u guys there.

[Ryan]

This we be my first year attending to any of the Nationals. I will most likley be at (High Point) and/or (Southwick) Either the Darren Nacarro memorial or just the national. I will not be racing any nationals this year but hopefully I will be racing locally on a new machine :D .
