[NTPRacing#19]

[Sick0]

Don't worry about me making anybody look bad. I have the worst luck know to man when it comes to racing.. I've had every bad luck kinda of thing happen to me. I only finished 12th for the year.

I know who you are talking about( dirtland) he was always in the mix last year.

Tips for racing southwick. Do alot of laps anfd try to find the roughest cours you can find. I will try to do laps with dirt bikers throught the whoops and every thing else. It get you and shape for it. The track really beats you up . A good set of shocks will be there weight in gold.

[ridered86]

yeah i only have works:( , did you buy bibore81's custom axis?? casue i really wanted those shocks...lol thanks for the info and i will see you there look for me by the cycle pros trailor

[Sick0]

yup, you will be seeing bigbore's axis the 13th:D , I'm just looking for a rear to match.

[ridered86]

[300exHILLER]

I'll be at southwick. All black 300 #69. Quad almost done just numbers and brakes ya know the little **it. I went to uxbridge last sunday but they were not open I only live 20mins from there so no big deal. Does anybody now when they will be opening? Anytime anyone goes there to practice pm me I'll go.

[ridered86]

yeah someone tell me when uxbridge is open.

bigbore, we all know you got gibson arms on that 90.;) see ya there.

[BigBore81]

ah yes gibson minus 3 short travel:blah

[redrizza]

I'll be there racing the 4stroke and Open A. #24 Hopefully my lt80 has what it takes to beat Bigbore80's TRX90:rolleyes:

[Sick0]

I'm going to be tuff to beat on my ronnies racing kasea 90.

[BigBore81]

:D

[MXchamp82]

Bigbore81, are you sure you can handle the power of a trx 90? Maybe you should trade it in for a 50. That's more your speed.

[BigBore81]

whatever u say amateur:cool: :blah

[redrizza]

MXchamp82 who r u?

[BigBore81]

he is the stock400ex champ in our class:eek2:

[Sick0]

I was wondering if I could enter as an amateur this year even though I didn't get enough points?
I don't want to a sand bagger
Thats matt number 82,

[BigBore81]

u can run any class u want and i say if u didn't finish top 10 u aren't sandbagging so race novice and try to win a trophy or 2 maybe championship

[Sick0]

Maybe I will just right into expert than

That's what I figured. Matt, I didn't know you were on exriders. What class are you racing this year?

[BigBore81]

he is racing 4 stroke b and he actually has some mods this year

[redrizza]

Cool, I look forward to seeing all you guys there. Jason, you going to be there Saturday night? I thought I'd get to ride the practice track once this weekend before our first race, but damn, I'm supposed to get over a foot of snow by tomorrow night :mad:

[EX 80]

Redrizza---Snow!!!?? We don't even have snow banks around here any more. It all melted alittle while ago. I was getting worried for a while. I've only riden once since the last race. Still need to get a few things taken care of with my quad before the first race. It ran mint last time i took it out, but it was border line lean and right where it should be so i got to go up a couple jets. I don't know if i'll be there sat night but i'll be around. Maybe to sign up. My g/f lives 20 minutes from southwick, that rules. You gong to be all set and ready to rip the 13th?

[redrizza]

Yeah, 99.8% of the snow has melted here, only a trace where the banks were, but starting soon until tomorrow night we're supposed to get around a foot. :eek2: I can't even believe this ****. :confused:

I've only ridden once since Sept. 29th too.:rolleyes: It's got me feelin a little nervous, but other than that I think I'm ready. I think I have my jetting right, the chassis is all tight and ready to go..... I need a new rear shock baaad... The bottom out bumper is completely destroyed and almost gone. It needs a rebuild very, very soon... COMMON TAX RETURN HURRY UP :devil I'm not sure where I will be parking since the pits will be different, but if you come by Saturday night stop in to the pits and say hi.

P.S. Oh yeah, bring your GF's freinds :D LOL

See you there, can't wait:blah

[Lasher]

I will be there IF I get my gaskets in on time, put the top end together and break the motor in this weekend.

I will be in the 30+ class #19 on a blue and black 250r. If I do not get my R running in time, I will be on the old stock Blue Banshee.

[BigBore81]

ah yes i will be there saturday night going to prolly camp out there even though i live about 20 mins from track

[300exHILLER]

if it's warm enough I'll be there saturday to camp.

[Sick0]

I've only ridden on dirt once since the 29th also. I been doing alot Ice racing witch don't help much. I just happy the old 400 is faster than a piped raptor. On a straight away. I can't wait to race with real parts. I'm still getting use to a widen quad. The 400 feel strong now. I just can't wait to get a rear shock and a carb.

[ridered86]

well i wont be there saturday but i am goin to be there sunday mornin bright and early. i will be with the cycle pros trailor so if you want stop by to talk me through this, first race im kinda nervous, especially with sicko racin the same class, my works dont stand a chance against those custom axis;)

[FASTER4HUNDY]

damn i have been out every weekend since i got my quad Bigbore81 can vouch (sp) for me. snow and mud dont stop me :cool:

[ridered86]

[kandk440ex#8]

ill b at southwick the 13 ill either b at the cycle pros trailor or wit just my friends i have a gray 400ex with a k and k stickers on it and my friend will a blue 400 wit yellow frame we both r racin open c and 91-440c good luck to all who goes

[Sick0]

I will be in both of the class as well. I will see there

[Sick0]

I'm just wondering who's the one to look out for this in in C class.

[redrizza]

I think kandk440ex#8 will be one of the guys to watch. He'll definatly be puttin some good pressure on the top guys, that is if he's not in front already:devil

[ridered86]

kandk where u from, i just spent all last weekend riding with tom, the owner of cycle pros, we had a blast. i rode his r and all i can say is the end of this season im sellin the EX i love the power of the 250r, he also had full TCS suspension, which made it a very nice ride. also if u guys have any aftermarket rear shocks for sale for a 400ex let me know cause im ready to buy. ill see you guys at southwick, lets just hope that its not cancelled:(

[ridered86]

me!!!;) :p

[EX 80]

If your talking about Open C, Racer Number 78 should be the one to watch. :cool:

[240R]

I'll be there number 88 in open C and 4-stroke C. See you there the loud yellow 400ex with the red frame

[Sick0]

Don't worry about, I'm so out of shape it ain't funny. I went riding at a new sand pit right down the tracks from work. The place is all whoop out every where. The Whoops are like 3' to 5' feet deep. The axis counldn't handle them. You could get suck on some of them it you where going slow enough. All four tires would be in the air. The turn though are just like the ones at southwick but theres like 15 of them . Its probly one of the best track for to get ready for southwick. Its was go to finally get some type of track time.

[ridered86]

ya the pit i ride in is the same way, great practice for me. and sicko no complaining...lets not forget the little guy here with the works shocks.

it will be very soon though, ill have a 250r that ive dreamed about. the one i rode had full TCS suspension with the Herman racing long travel front end...it made me sick to even look at my EX the rest of the day.:ermm:

[BigBore81]

i would have to agree if ur talking about open c number 78 is the man in charge no doubt about it

[Sick0]

It was pretty funny though. I was think to myself I have axis shocks, I will just power throught these whoops like a mad man. It didn't really work thats way. Thw whoops are so big I ended up catching like 5" of air first real big one clear the second and land on the face of the third one. It was fun though. The only thing thats worrys me is I think I blew my new bearings in the carrier. If I did I will be pissed beacuse I only used it for like 3 or 4 rides..

[Sick0]

Well I geuss I'm going to have to practic more than.

[ridered86]

ive been talkin to alot of ppl and it seems like they all say that the holeshot at southwick is almost the whole race, is this true? also should i start in second, i have b4 but im not sure about the concrete by the gates, i also have a 14 tooth sprocket should i switch to the 15? thanks

[BigBore81]

i wouldn't say hole shot wins the race at southwick but if u have some good guys up front it will make it hard to win if u don't get a good holeshot i have crashed in qualifying in the holeshot and have worked my way all the way up to 2nd without a problem with another 1/4 lap i would have won and i was 1/2 a lap down after the crash but............... i guess thats what u call sandbagging

[Sick0]

Well if you are running 18" tires I would go up to the 15t sproket. I might even go up to a 16t sproket with 18" or get a smaller rear sproket. I thinking its going to be muddy so I think going to a bigger ratio will help wheel spin.


Yeah I would say having the hole shot is a good thing at southwick. I've only had on good start there and the front pack pulled right away from the rest. Then I crashed was down for like a minute and lost like 5 spots. I can tell you making way up the throught the pack at southwick suck. I got like 17th or 18th my seconf to last race because I had gootn a bad start becaus eof 2 and 3rd gear and every time I start to make groung somebody infront of me had crashed, stalled,going than slower than piss. Plus these guys will take the good lines but will go real slow, making you go this crazy line that could get to crash, stuck, but atleast take alot of energy from you to make it work. From some reason I could never get in front of the start so I tred to follow 81,82, 25. These guys were fast and took good lines through.

Watch at the table top. I was behind this gay kid who took the outside line so I took the inside and charge at the jump he cut me off and suck up the lip and didn't jump it. If you ain't going t o jump get out of the way Whats I say. Thats my favorite part of racing.

[Sick0]

OK any body else running C class.??

[redrizza]

BUMP:D

[FASTER4HUNDY]

what is BUMP ????????

[MXchamp82]

Is anybody going to be running 4-stroke B? I will be running that class, along with my friend, FASTER4HUNDY. Watch out for #'s 82 and 27.

The key to winning at Southwick is to be able to hold on through the whoops and don't let off!! Holeshots are helpfull, be not neccesary.

See everyone on Sunday.

[EX 80]

I am doing 4 stoke B and Open B. I haven't ridden much this year so we'll see how things go. It will be a good time any way. Its going to be awosme this year I know alot of people in so many different classes. Makes it less boring in between my races, i get to watch them.

[ridered86]

sicko you are running the c class correct? i just got my new 15t front sprocket for southwick so hopefully it will work good. sicko watch for #126 (thats me) maybe we can meet up and explain ssome things to me, cause i still got some questions. anyway i guess ill see all of u guys there, and everybody stop over to the cycle pros pit area, thats where ill be. hey is anyone selling after market shocks and gonna be there? cause if you are bring em im in the market for them:D , ohh and im running 4 stroke c and open c.

[Sick0]

I am racing Novice still. I'm number 40. I will try to have pics before the race anyways. But I will look for you anyways.

[Sick0]

EX80. You are right. I can watch you in MXchamp82 in B class. Plus Bigbore and redizza in expert. Plus I will finally get to race two of my friends in open. and show redrider86 how to crash.

[ridered86]

ya thanks man i need some tips on crashin, well play follow the leader ok? only 2.5 day left.

[muff]

I'll be there #326 in four stroke c on a blue 440ex

my friend josh will be in the same class on his '03 LE cannibal #270

[ridered86]

i guess ill be sein u there to muff, what front sprocket u runnin? should i stay at 14 or put the 15 on? i know i like the 14 on hard pack, but i like the 15 in the sand:)

[Sick0]

I've crashed almost every race I been in. Or at least every time I go, I will crash thats day.

You don't want to fellow me. I think I'm the only person to crash
on the first turn at southwick.

After got a bad start. (Everbody was already down the straight buy the time I got the 400ex started again). I speed up to the first turn Hit a whoop and flip over my bars.

[Sick0]

What size tires are you running redrider86??

[ridered86]

haha, ya man i dont know how im gonna do, im serious i really dont :confused:

[muff]

i'm runnin stock gearing with 18" rear holeshots, and if it gets some nice ruts i'll put my 20" on

[ridered86]

im runnin 20inch holeshot xc's and stockers for the front. hopefully ill have wired's front tires and wheels for the next one and also at the next race ill have my new PEP front shocks:D

[muff]

yea the only thing that'll be hurtin me is the start, i'm not so great at those but i really havent been able to practice, I wont be gettin my quad together til tomorrow night

are you guys gonna run roll offs or tear offs

[ridered86]

Originally posted by muff

tear offs here just got a brand new 14 pack:D

[Sick0]

If you are running the 18" Never go any smaller than 15t sproket.
Its like running a 14t sproket with 20" or stock sizes tires. I would jump up to a 16t sprocket if you are running 18" tires. Its going to pretty muddy and a lot of wheels spin. if you go up one, You will get better ttaction and less wheel spin.

With the 20" the 15t should work good.

I'm also bring both my 20" and 18" tires. Just remeber southwick always gets rutted bad. I will probly stick with the 18's.

[ridered86]

since i dont have a choice ill be runnin the 20's i guess with the 15t sprocket:o

[Sick0]

I think you I was talking to about how I went over the bars on the hole shot with nobody around.

[ridered86]

i think so, havin a hard time makin that out.

[Sick0]

O sorry. I think i was talking to muff about. I think he was whating the race last year.

tear offs, I didn't think about but I should pick up a pair.

[Sick0]

O yeah, 300exhiller will be also racing sunday. I beleive he will be racing in 300 air cooled.

[muff]

yea sick0 you had crashed right infront of me, you like pulled your quad around and took off, you looked pretty pissed and you caught up with everyone else

[BigBore81]

novice class sounds like tis gonna be pretty interesting i may wanna run that class instead:D


ridered86 why u getting pep shocks??? i mean there good shocks and all but i would definately stick with axis or elka

[Knight440]

Well it looks like ill be making it after all my Dale should be done tonight and I just sold my EX today :D so now ill have the pocket cash to go:p 4stroke C is going to be great and look, if anyone's thinking there going to get last place just forget it, it's all mine:blah

[Sick0]

It going to a big old happy family in Novice .

[ridered86]

well guys almost one day left, i guess well be dominating the starting gate, lets get a good line up, all of the exriders in a row.

hey u guys run with a full tank of gas or just enough for the race?

also how does this usually run, does it go c,b,a, pro or what? also they do announce when ur supposed to be at the gate right?, just a few last minute jitters.:scary:

[Sick0]

I fill my gas tank before I go. There like 20 diffrent class that run. I would go to NEATV (http://www.neatvmx.com). to find out .

[ridered86]

well im racing c class and the sight does not say. does novice usually run first, how do they announce it?

[EX 80]

You C guys should be ready right after practice. There is usually qualifing for the C class's.

[ridered86]

ohh boy, sounds like fun, do i also have to pay admission even though i preregistered to? also can u run down the order of events and how im supposed to be at the right spot at the right time? thanks guys

[EX 80]

yes you still have to pay admission of $10. You will be told everything you need to know at the riders meeting. They announce stuff all the time but usually hard to hear. and they have everything posted at the tower. I don't know if they are moving it this year though. Line up..... http://www.neatvmx.com/docs/Lineup1.pdf

[ridered86]

ok thanks man, i guess ill see you there.

[Sick0]

Hey, redrider86 are you going tonight or tomarrow? I think I will be up there tonight?


Plus ANYBODY GOING TO SUNDAY, DOES ANYBODY HAVE A STOCK BANSHEE UPPER LEFT A-ARM FOR SALE. This kid was wheeling down thw street and the quad tipped over side ways bending the strrering stem, a-arm, balljoint, and clutch lever. Yamaha are such junk.:D

[ridered86]

im going in the morn at 530:o , what a biatch i hate living far away. anyways im tryin to tune my rear shock any tips? after i rode the r with TCS i have been soley dipleased with stock
:rolleyes:

[Sick0]

well I will see every body there. I'm leaving for southwick right now.

[Sick0]

O yeah if you are looking for me. I'm a tall(6'4") and skinny in a blue z-71 pick-up. I have a 400ex,. Grey plastice, red frame, blue kandk graphics, with ronnie's stickers all over it. peace

[muff]

how did you guys do?

I crashed in the qualifying (not my fault) I jumped and a guy drove kinda under me, ended up endoing over the bars...for all of you 4 stroke amatures you would have seen my crash right next to you guys when you were waitin to qualify

my friend josh tho won the 4 stroke c class on his dale, pretty nasty, pulled the holeshot twice and stayed out front the whole time

[EX 80]

I saw your little tumble. Looked pretty harry. I was yelling at you to hook up your kill switch so you could start it . I did that once my first year racing also.

[muff]

yea thanks for lettin me know, I never use it when I ride so I totally forgot about it

was a kinda bad crash, seemed like i went over slowly....like i had time to think about bailing, i'm just glad the quad didnt hit me or anything,, kinda bummed tho cause I was in 5th with 2 laps left and would have qualified

[FASTER4HUNDY]

o yea that was you i was one of the guys showing you to put on your tether. :)
