lol, I was pretty proud my first race. I placed 3rd in the main and got the holeshot in both my heat and main. I can't wait tell race season, nothing like watching the gate drop woundering if your gonna end up in front or gonna crash because I don't let off no matter if people are hitting me and if I can get around people I do everything I think I can during the holeshot to gain as many places as possible. Anyways i'll shutup I just really like the thrill of racing.

I look up to alot of the older racer...They are fast and I ask them alot of questions And they always help....Even if they did beat me I am beating them now :devil ...but there are one or two older guys that just flat out fly...

I cant even say I got a DNF my first race , it was more like a DNS ( Did not start) I fouled the plug in my quad about 1 minute before the 30 second flag went up . I was soooo mad . The referee didn't allow me 2 minutes to run to my trailer and grab a spare plug . Nothign worse than warming up your engine then its like bwahhh bwahhhhh bwahhhhh DEAD!!!!!

got 7th out of 7 in a Harescramble...but its all about learing and hiving fun....i was on a pimped out warrior....

I got the holeshot but into the first turn i rolled it into a tree.....i got up and by the end of the first lap i was around 3rd....on the second lap I got rear ended by a 400ex going over a hill and i flew over the bars, by that time i was back to 6th.......On the 4th lap i hit a ditch and my DMC dual exhaust fell off but i just kept going....ON the final lap i was in 6th and my throttle and clutch stuck.....i ran into a tree and my bumper was hangin by 2 bolts and my chest protector was cracked........i was still in 6th after i got it going....but about half way through the lap my brakes locked and i got passes about 200ft from the finish line!!!!!!!!

I was soo proud of my self for finishing though...i was only 11 racing with adults. I went back the next week and got 3rd out of 9....woohoo!!

Racing brings soo many memories....and LAUGHS!! I have had expierences that i'll never forget.

My first race was 2 years ago on my stock 400, bout a month after I had gotten it, and I ended up 2nd out of 18 people in the beginner class. After that day I was just hooked and I can't stop thinking or doing racing! It's the best sport out there in my mind!

Ya I agree, I ride with a lot of older quad riders now and I just love the style of the older riders how they don't ride over there head and ride fast with experience and never crash. Kinda like Jeremy Magrath. Thats my style and in the end you end up being just as fast at a steady pace and your not getting hurt all the dang time.:eek:

02-01-2003, 05:01 PM
7th in 400B, and 9th in Open B on a basically stock 400EX, against mostly Cannondales, and worked 400EXs (mostly all Banshees in Open, there were 3 400EXs including me).

My very first race was on my 400, no motor mods, got 3rd in holeshot against 440s etc, well 4th lap, dude tried to pass me, cut me off, I wrecked, should have finished 3rd overall, but o well, next race I got 2nd overall. First race on R, got 1st overall, 1st moto i won, 2nd moto I won and caught and passed the pro class in front of me lol.

i got 8th out of 18 i think is how many people. that was at the wisp gncc after i got a flat on the first lap, had to ride around hlaf the course with a flat, plug the flat fill up the tire ride around alittle bit to get some fix a flat around the inside of the tire. that all took about 30mins to fix. and i jammed my wrist cause of the flat and still did 2 more laps with a messed up wrist. guess what i was only about 28 mins behind the leaders of the race. they got 4 laps and i averaged like 25 min. laps after the flat. stupid rocks i know all u guys that went to wisp felt m pain
