a tip from me. if you want to be a good racer, ride alot. get to know your quad and your limits. practice and the speed will come eventually. and stay focused in the races.

Im with this guy /\ ride, and ride your own, the most important part is being able to focus and ride your own race.

if someone being behind you forces you to ride over your head, you lose and face injury, trust me, done it.

be patient and learn to apply pressure to the rider in front of you then pounce on their mistakes.

mental and physical conditioning is important in racing

have fun, most importantly, if you are not having fun anymore, its a mute point.

If you already have it apart I would gusset the frame before powdercoating it so later down the road you dont have to pull it all apart. And it doesnt matter how much money you put into your bike or what parts you have on it, you will still lose unless you can ride it to its full potential. Therefore practice, practice, practice.
