Well i just got home bout 2 hours go from the tebbets, MO Hare Scramble I finished which ws my goal, it was 3 lap 9 mile race it took me 2 hours, 1 min, and 48 seconds. I was 30 some mintues behind the leader. I got 62 out of 89 overall and 7th out of the 23 in begineer calss, i was the youngest out there at 15.

I learned a few things I NEED skids i renforce my stock one the bike isnt damage but theres nothing left of the stock skid and i took it slow over rockie parts becaus ei didnt ahve chassis skid i will be buyign both of those shortly. I will also be getitgn a twist throtle You also need soemthing much better then stock shocks im saving up for some TCS with comp adjust. Rezzys. also you need a STOCK snorkle i got water in the airbox and the bike was cutting out the 3rd lap :mad:

Also Tis pissed me off i put my camelbkc on but it donest ahve a chest strap so it was falling off the whole time i was messing with it, if my bike wasnt cutting otu adn the camelback wasnt sliding down i think i would have done better.

Was anyone else there today?

I saw a ton of 400s with pipes and shocks, shocks make all the differenc ein the woods

see if ya cant pick up some small sponsors.. may help pay for stuff you will be most likely to scratch up and tear up in a harescramble.

Iver never raced harescramble, but i can imagine in the wear it put on your frames and stuff..

Good job on your first race:)
