West Coast / Northern California racing?

[thejeepdude]

I was thinking it would be a lot of fun to try my luck in a novice class race of some sort, but I can't find any info for circuits in my area (northern CA). I am more interested in XC type racing, but would even try MX just to have some fun with competing. Is there anyone on here from CA that races? I know there's a pretty large track in Marysville/Yuba City that I might go check out and see if there's anything actually organized there. There's also Prairie City, but that seems to be a dirt bike venue mostly. I was also thinking about calling the local dealers and MX shops to see if they know anything about local race schedules, but most seem to cater to bikes and don't know anything about quad racing. Anyone have suggestions?

Thanks! :D

[thejeepdude]

bumpety bump bump :blah:

NO ONE races on the left coast? This is going to be harder than I thought.... :ermm:

[Narly R]

well I try to in oregon but there just isnt hardly and MX tracks here and I have NEVER heard of and XC here ither, but Im shure there will be more in Cali but go on the internet and see if u can find anything, I just started surchin on mine and found some tracks! :ermm:

[wilkin250r]

Where in northern CA are you? I'm in Reno, Nevada and I'm looking for the same thing. There is a small race circuit here, but it may have gone under...

[thejeepdude]

I'm in the Sacramento area... not too far from Reno. I hit Reno every once in a while, but didn't know there was anything for quads there. Actually I'm going through there next weekend to hit Sand Mountain again... if I don't find a racing organization in our area sometime soon, maybe we'll just have to start our own! :p I mean, I'm not looking for anything big deal, just a few friendly people who wanna compete at a purely just for fun level...

[JOEX]

There doesn't seem to chit for organized racing in these parts:(
What needs to be done to make this happen?

[wilkin250r]

There used to be a couple, but their websites are not up anymore. I think they went under.

Northern Nevada Quad Racing Association. www.nnqra.com

Sierra Nevada ATV Association www.snatv.com

I think the Motorcycle Racing Association of Northern Nevada occasionally has an ATV class in a few of it's events. It might be a good place to start and get some info. www.racemrann.com

If you find anything, let me know. I haven't checked anything the the Sacramento area.

[wilkin250r]

I just emailed the president of NNQRA, I'll keep you posted.

[Bretmd94]

I want to race also. We jsut got 2 new tracks in So Oregon, making that a total of 3. :eek: Mainly Motorcycles i think. I know the original one had quad races. I think maybe 6 or so would show up. :ermm: We should start our own XC race.

[wilkin250r]

I know of a few motocross tracks near the Reno, Nevada area. One is in Fernley, the other is Honey Lake just north of Reno.

[Davids440ex]

i dont know what you guys are talking about but there is all kinds of races over here,

Around the bay area the local promoter is mutant motorsprots there web site is www.mutantmotorsports.com

in california there is the itp quad cross series at glen helen there web sitw is www.quadcross.com

then towards the beginingof the year there are some supercross races down south the clear channle puts on there web site is www.proquads.com

i don't know if there is xc racing around here i'm only a mx racer

[Bretmd94]

those are all over 8 hour drives for me. I dont think so to race against 10 people.

[wilkin250r]

Yeah, all those are down in Southern Cal. We're looking for something a little closer.

[Davids440ex]

well one thing your going to learn about california is you have to drive to race
i know there are also race in marysville

[wilkin250r]

Marysville might be a possibility, but I'm not going to drive down to San Diego for a little quad race. Isn't there something in the Sacremento area?

[Davids440ex]

san diego ant a small race thats one of the biggest races in cali, the only thing is you need to be fast

[TT 400ex]

i race almost all summer. you can race tt in lodi,chowchilla,tulare. they also have flat track series all around here its a lot of fun. went to salinas 4 weeks ago for a tt event they had around 40-50 quads. cma puts them on its the bounty hunter series and they do motorcross too

[Davids440ex]

cma is alright they dont get a big turn out for mx, i plan to do some tt next year with my new quad

[TT 400ex]

yea the merced fair is going to be a tt this year what kind of bike are you building to tt.

[Davids440ex]

im either going to have a crf 450 are the new yamaha

[310Rduner]

I live down here in san jose, and the mutantmotorsports series is right here at Hollister, Carneghie,and Metcalf...

that should only be a 3 hours drive from Sacramento..

www.mutantmotorsports.com

[wilkin250r]

I found some information. One club cancelled it's summer series, no news yet on the Fall series.

www.nnqra.net

www.tsqracing.com

There's a possibility that we could be the deciding factor in the NNQRA going foward or going under, let's get as much participation as possible.

[TT 400ex]

wilkin have you ever been to lodi cycle bowl cause there were some guys that came down from nevada

[wilkin250r]

Never been to Lodi. Is it something I should check into?

I really hope they don't cancel the fall series. Right now, I think my quad would be real competitive in the TT series, it sits real low and wide, and the big 340 has plenty of power. I don't think I have the suspension for MX yet. I think my next mod will be ZPS all around, so I'll be able to do both.

Yeah, get me some info. As I dig further, I find more information, but somebody already involved in racing will be able to point me in a direction. So far, I've only found the 1 race club, and one racing team. I think if I can make it out to a race, I can actually talk to some people that will help me get involved.

[TT 400ex]

let me know when the next tt race is in nevada. in oct we have a quad tt race in chowchilla ca with a pro purse 500 to 800$.that might be worth the drive for you

That sounds interesting, but without having raced before, I'm certainly not going to jump onto the pro class. I've seen a few small races going on this weekend and next weekend. It's an offroad buggy series, and they just happen to have a quad class.

www.vorra.com

They are going to have a race in Sac on Sept 27 & 28, (weekend after next) and I might check that out. I won't race, my quad is out of commission, but I can certainly check it out and gather information.

[Duncanracer]

try the WORCS race in October i think? its in milford,CA at honeylake MX park...WORCS races are a combination of desert,mx,trails, and street...www.worcsracing.com
check te date and everything...

[wilkin250r]

WORCS only has one or two races a year that are close enough for me to make it...

You're going to be there? That may just be the deciding factor for me going. I was going to try to make it, I don't think I'll be ready to race, but I can check it out and talk to some people about racing. I've sent some emails out, but I haven't gotten any response. Maybe I just need to get to a race and talk to some people in person.

Sure, if you bring your quad, I'll drag mine and we'll go for a ride before or after the race.

It was the split. Milford is still part of the dirtbike series.

[400exrider0004]

I am looking into the mutantmotorsports thing and I was wondering still if anyone has any information on this series. I know they race a lot down south but wandering if anything is closer up here in Fresno.

Thanks
