Don't forget the $10.00 at the gate! Look at it this way they are averaging 300 quads per event. An additional $10 per is $3 grand
a couple of races and Rita can get a new Mercedes.

Or maybe they are going to give it back to the rides that podium:huh

I am puttin my money on the Mercedes.:D :D

I'v done the GNC's and they aren't any cheeper 30 to 35 bucks a person to get in plus 30 a class to race,I use to spend 120 to a 130 a weekend just for me and my wife to get in me to race at the GNC's.Thats one reason I'm doing GNCC now,instand of 120 or 130 it's 60 dollars.

.Im still deciededing weather I should race XC or MX.... Right now XC is looking much better :D


Sorry if im being stupid..... IM DRUNK :blah

i race XC races santioned by FTR and some by AMA, and ALL the races cost $40, plus $5-10 for gate fee, plus $15 for a shirt ( if you want one). So its kinda like picking up a hooker on a saturday night, you end up going home sore, tired and broke.

i think its ridiculous they charge us this much to race. Unless they give prize money to alot of the racers

oh ya, dont forget the gas traveling to and from race. that gets EXPENSIVE. plus food, drinks, etc. they must think we are rich or something ( i know some of you are )

but all in all, i think its worth it, kinda.

I agree with Bad$$ , I understand not having a $ pay back at small district races but at the GNCC's with the revenue that they generate it is ridiculous not to give the top 3 of each class a decent payback. JMO

also, March 1st will be my first GNCC, i will sign up for Quad Novice 16-24

now, what do i need to race? i dont want to sow up there and not be able to race just cause i forgot 1 little thing.

Bike, AMA card, gear, gas, spare parts, alot of money, lol, anything else?

MAke sure you have a tether chord hooked up. Of course you will need your riding gear; boots, chest protector, helmet, and gloves.
Not all of that gear is required but I recommend it. It is easier if you have your Atva card before hand. I see where someone said they are preregistering again. I highly recommend doing so. Waiting in line on race day sux.

Wish I could say I 'd see ya there but i am nursing a broken Femur
:cool:

[BadA$$440]

ATVA card? how much does that cost? and isnt it the same as AMA?

And i didnt know you needed a tether switch for GNCC, i thought u just needed it for MX cuz if u fall off your bike racing thru the woods, you dont have to worry your quad running away from you, the trees will take care of stopping it for you.:D

[Teufel]

atva / ama , yes AMA requires all quads to have the tether chord. You have to go through tech inspection so the isn't much chance of getting through without it

ok thanks, that will be my next investment.

I would have went without one
