Harlen,
Are you there? Any word on Jason, Nate & Jeremiah's team (J N J)?

[Admin]

J N J has been running in 4th most of the day!

[Tina]

Thanks, I must have missed that when I read your earlier post.

[Ryan]

Thanks for the updates Harlen.

Will this be aired on Television anytime in the future?

[Admin]

Now its time to post some Pictures!

I believe this is the Krank-it Racing Team

[Bonnie Cook]

Harlen, Bryan has been calling me giving me updates too (Cause he wouldn't let me GO!!!!) Jeff got a bad start and after his five laps, he had a flat, so Bryan went out and moved 'em up to ninth. Nathan was running when he called. They moved back to eleventh. Then back to tenth. They are running hard. Intermission is about to be on. I will post what he tells me is going on with Team Quadshop.

[Colby@C&DRacing]

It is 3:18 central intermission, There was to be a freestyle show but was postponed due to the wind, it will be tonight at 7:00 tonight and at that time they will give away the YFZ450.
Halen should have pics up soon we sent him a bunch.

The racing has been very competitive, the lay out of the track is the best that we have seen and been too.

GT Thunder is back up in 7th place in the pro class and has recorded the fastest lap time with 10.25 (darn axles anyway)

So far Walsh thru JPMX have taken 33 laps :eek2:

And team Raushcreek is still in the lead in the utility class..

[guedo]

AWESOME work guys and gals!!! Thanks for the updates!

Thanks Tina, for the 1/2 time Results Update!

[Tina]

Your turn now. Show us the pics!:)

[cheetah]

Hey anyone know what bike the Quadshop guys are racing on? I see it says Honda are they on an R?

[Admin]

C&D Racing has been doing a great job of covering the race today and have sent me a bunch of pictures to post!

This looks like 4Play Racing.com's Cannondale! The where leading the A Class earlier, but it seems they must have run into problems because they are back to 7th Place and lap down from the leaders Troy Racing.

[Colby@C&DRacing]

Wow I am so glad they listed those Do you know how hard it is to try and listen to the PA and right as fast as this guy can talk :eek2:

They are just about to start the second half. I will be back in a few

[Admin]

Team RPM has been running up front most of the day, but also must have run into problems. They are currently back to 13th and 6 laps behind the leader.

[Admin]

Preferred Interior Const. is running the Industry class in 6th Place

[Admin]

ATV Fourplay has been in the top 10 all day and are currently in 7th place

[Admin]

JB Racing has been running strong all day and are currently in 5th place and about 10 minutes behind the leader Walsh Race Craft.

[Bonnie Cook]

Team Quadshop is on a Yamaha, I don't know why it has HON listed. OH well. Harlen, give me a pic of Bryan or Jeff. I need to see what my boy is doing. They are currently ninth overall, so maybe they can kick some butt. Bryan started the second half this time. Good luck!!!!
HARLEN - - - -pics please

[Admin]

GT Thunder's Johnny Gallagher and his team has been putting the hammer down since their earlier problems. Just as I suspected, they have moved all the way up to 6th already, but are still a lap down from the top 5.

Way to GO! Johnny C, Bill & Brandon Ballance

[popo]

Just got off the phone with Jeff, they are back racing for the second half. Conditions dusty, 40 degree's rough track.

[Admin]

Team MOR has been putting on a great show with them Leading the B Class and amazing running 15th overall:eek:

They currently have a 1.5 minute lead over Gabe's Racing Team White River Racing

[Admin]

Star Racing is currently running 9th in the Pro Class

[Admin]

White River Racing is running their Green 400EX. ATV Scene has them listed a running a Kawasaki

[Admin]

Team Quadshop ran into problem in the 3rd lap after be T-boned hard by another racer and getting a Flat tire, they fell way back this morning.

They have been charging ever since and have worked their way up to 8th. Way to Go Guys!

This looks like Nathan to me?

[Admin]

Team EMU Racing is currently running 36th overall

[Admin]

Another JB Racing Action Picture!

[Bonnie Cook]

Harlen, I need a pic of Bryan now!!!! Work your magic. PLEASE. Bryan said that the weather sucks, he wants to come back home!!! Jeff and him have been putting in some great laps too.

[Admin]

W H O Racing is currently running 8th in the A Class

sweet pics!:D

[Tina]

Great pictures Colby! Thanks for posting them Harlen, makes me feel like I'm there.:)

[Admin]

Another picture of Gabe's Racing Team White River Racings 400ex!
Gabe did well last year, and I expect the same this year.

A big Congrats to Gabe so far!

[Admin]

Team Occra!

[Admin]

Caveman Racing! Currently running 10th in Pro Class

[Admin]

Looks like one of the Ballance boys on the GT Thunder YFZ!

[Admin]

Twin Creeks is currently run 6th in the A Class on the LTZ. Pro Team ECO Tech is right behind them.

[Admin]

ECO Tech is currently running 11th in the Pro Class!

[Admin]

Hampton Racing is running the A Class on a Z!

[Admin]

J N J has been doing a great job in the Pro Class today, but what else would you expect from the talent on that team! They are currently 3rd overall in the Pro Class and 8 minutes out of the lead.

[Admin]

Another picture of J N J!

[Admin]

Arens Brothers on Their YFZ! They are currently running just about 2 Minutes behind Team Rausch Creek in 1st in the Industry Class.

[popo]

Harlen, it's driving ya nutts not out there racing aint it. Where you getting the picks from. Good job on the coverage.

[Admin]

A Big Thanks goes out to Colby & Dusty of C&D Racing for all the Pictures! I have been in communication with them, Team Hiper, GT Thunder, and The Quad Shop all day getting race updates!

Man, I wish I could have been there, but atleast I am able to keep everyone informed of what is going on!

[Dunlap]

This is great! Is there any way we can do this for the GNCC races next year? I would be interested in sponsoring something like this if you can put it together Harlen.

[Admin]

Team Hiper Wheels have had to deal with several problems today that have kept them out of the lead spot. Both of their footpegs on the YFZ have broke off and have had to be Re-installed. Also, they had there front bumper come loose.

It is amazing the amount of pounding the Pros put on their quads in a race like this! 12 Hours of fast racing can take it toll on a quad. I know that after a 2 hour GNCC their is normally something that needs to be fixed, so more problems will come up for all the teams through the last six hours of the race. Night fall is quickly coming, and the Temps are only in the 40's. The standings could really change in the last 6 hours with fatigue on the Quads and Racers set in, so stayed Tuned!

[Admin]

Thanks Mickey! I do have some exciting plans in the works for next years race coverage! More Details to come after the 1st of the year!

[Dunlap]

That would be great. This is something I would really like to be involved in. I hate waiting around for my team manager to call me after the races and I am sure everyone else on here would like it also. Let me know as soon as possible so I can put my budget together.

[Admin]

5:52PM Central Time

Exciting News! Team Hiper is now in the LEAD! Walsh Race Craft just threw a chain and it punctured its engine case! They had to be towed in and things aren't looking good for them.

JHughes: I haven't heard anything about them really, but they are currently running last in the Pro Class:( Those guys can't get any luck this year!

[yz250]

Thanks for the updates . Hope team Hiper can hang on to the lead

[Admin]

Team Walsh Race Craft in now out of the race:eek:

I was told that they have loaded up their quad already. What a shame for them to do so well and have such a huge failure.

Team Hiper now has a 4 minute lead over 2nd place. GO Team Hiper!!!!

[Tina]

Go Team Rausch!

[Doibugu2]

This is pretty cool to see that we are getting updates throught the day.

Isn't it wierd that the quadshop has a flat tire. Jeff has the tire balls. Were they not allowed here?

[Admin]

Jeff wasn't running his Tireballs in the rear because they were using Bryan Cooks rear tires and Jeff's Front Tires.

[Admin]

The track is really getting rough as the race goes on! As you can tell from these pictures.

[Admin]

Also, the Dust is starting to be an issue! At night the dust will become more off an issue with the headlights I beleive.

[Admin]

I believe this is Stephanie from Troy Racing going into the turn. Troy Racing has been leading the A Class most of the day.

[Admin]

Another Racer on a 250r going into the Turn!

[Admin]

ATV Fourplay working on their Quad. They were running 7th at the break.

[Doibugu2]

That suprises me that they wouldn't put them in there. Oh well.

Sorry I missed you at the Ironman. You must have been right by me because when you took the pics of Traci coming in, I was just behind you.

[Admin]

Another View of the Track with all the Dust in the woods.

[Admin]

White River Racing is still in the hunt for 1st place.

[400exBro]

sweet pics!!!
keep em coming.
to bad for walsh, i was really hoped they would take it, Jasmin Plante is a real fast racer, but does have some bad luck sometimes.

[Admin]

The Utility Class is lead by the Little Rascals. They had a 8 minute lead over the Penland brothers going into the second half.

[Admin]

Penland Brothers!

[Tina]

Are they stopping the race for the freestyle competition?

[Admin]

As the Day turned to Night, more and more quads are starting to be equiped with Headlights. Some races have raced all day with them, and others have choosen the wait till dark to install them. The time involved with the Installation could really have an affect on racing positions.

[Admin]

Woods Racing Action!

[Admin]

More Action!

[Admin]

And even More!

[Admin]

6:57PM Central Time:

Team Hiper is still in the lead. Mike Krachun is currently piloting their Hiper, LRD, Custom Axis, YFZ450.

[Admin]

Now, Again with the Help of C&D Racing! I am going to show you an overall of the track in the next few pictures.

This is the Pit Area.

[Admin]

A long Straight Away in the Woods.

[Admin]

One of the down hills.

[Admin]

The track splits into two sections. The track has several different lines for the racers to choose from and the best line will change during the race.

[Admin]

Another view of the Woods Section.

[Admin]

the MX and TT sections are out in the fields for the spectators to easily watch the action from a hill along the track.

[Admin]

Another View.

[Admin]

Finally, the racers lined up before the 2nd half began.

Jeff is running tire balls up front. The yzf raffle is in about ten minutes after the free style.

Hey everyone,

Mike called me with updates throughout the day yesterday as well... he said the track was really cool. It was pretty much wide-open (like a stock car racing track - that's how he compares it since he'll be racing stock cars next year). He said that it was pretty much wide open, but the woods were a little tricky since the bike was much wider than a GNCC bike is set up. They really had to take their time in the woods unlike at the GNCC's. They did have some problems during the race... had to re-drill 3 footpegs, fender bracket broke off the frame, + routine maintenance (lube/tighten chain, change air filter, etc)... but they came through & won!

They each rode a gas tank at a time & then the next team member raced. Borich started the race (guess Mike & Matt wanted him to be the one to "run" to the bike since he's the youngest :)

Mike called from the podium & yelled "YEAH BABY" to let me know they won.

Now, for the long ride home... Mike won't be home until about 11pm tonight! By the time the left the track it was 1am CST, they stopped for a couple hours to sleep & then continued around 8am somewhere in IL.

That's all for now.

Great job with the racing pics & updates.

we took 3rd in the b class(team emu) and the lights really screwed us. however not to take anything away from White River they passed me in sand long before we had the problem. we lost second place by 6 seconds. we are pretty happy considering we had to push start the quad from the start.

[NTPRacing#19]

i would love to compete in that race next year. do they hold it in different locations each year in the usa?

[BRETZ56]

This is the second year of it, and both have been in Fort Dodge, Iowa, so I doubt they will change it

Way to go out there Traci! Harlen kept us well informed throughout the day and night. We probably knew more of what was going on at that race than the people who were actually there.:D

Congrats on your Championship as well!

[Juggalo]

sweet pics and info! i love that pic of all the guys at the line. thats awesome. any word on the freestyle event or better yet any pics?

[toby400ex]

Thanks for all the info and pics, also way to go for Gabe and the rest of the team.:blah:

[jhs]

We are 4-playracing.com (Jay Schwerman, Guy Sutton, and Chad Weinen) we led most of the race the first session but the blew out a right front hub bearing. We got it changed and then got up to eighth by the end of the first session a lap down from the leaders. We worked all the way up to first by the middle of the second session running the fastest lap times in our class and then had steering stem problems 2 times. With all these problems and losing over an hour total we are happy with eighth overall but oh well we'll be ready next year. Congrats to Troy Racing on the A class win they ran great and didn't have any failures or breaks, wish we could say the same!

[bartlettracing]

We ran neck and neck with the girls all day and some of the night ..they are awsome riders !!! we were riddled with problems at the end !! broke a spindle and lost 30 mins due to being for ever away from the pits when it happend , then smoked a stater and had to change the batt every three laps to keep it running and have lights ....went from fourth to 11th

We did have a blast !!!

Also are little rascals team dominated the utility class all day long !! was also riddled with problems on the second half
Bob Bartlett changed a axle in 4min on a grizzly!!!! wow !!!!!

[Rapyosi]

Harlen,
I am sure that you need a hot tub break for your arms from typing all the time! haha! You did fanstansic job! Thank you for keeping us in post. I am willing to pay you next year! Again Thank you! I hope that I can race next year!! Should be a blast! Congrats to the champsionship! Way to go Matt Smiley!

[quadnice]

Way too go guys & gals!!!
It was a tough race, District 23 - was putting the smack down on a lot of teams, but.........the course took it's toll on the quads.
Little Rascals-(utility-Grizzly 660) broke 2 drive shafts & the rear frame holding the rear diff.
Team Girth- (B class-Stock KFX 400) 10th - Well....... they bent about 3-4 stock tie rods
Bartlett Racing- (A-class- Z400) 11th - broken spindle, the same lap Alba Action girls broke there's, & wiring problems @ nite took it's toll on 3 batteries.
A BIG THANKS to everyone there, working, cheering, & helping each other out!!!

Well Thats All Folks! I am glad to hear all the positive comments about the race coverage and I am glad that I was able to keep everyone informed that couldn't be there. I have heard nothing but great things about the race! I think ATV Scene did a great job at putting on this race! It was a lot better organized this year, and I expect it to be even better next year. Hopefully, next year, I will be able to be keeping everyone informed from the race!

Again, I thank C&D Racing, GT Thunder, The Quad Shop, and Team Hiper Wheels, and "Fred" for their assistance in making this all possible for EXriders.com:D

[foxracingpredat]

i would have been on team Wisconsin Quad Racers until i broke my wrist racing MX,,i was really mad i couldnt go,,,hope every1 had fun and hopefully ill see u there next year.

big thanks to harlen for his hard work and an even bigger shout out to everyone who was involved in getting him the info and pictures!!!!

hey harlen....I just wanted to inform you that I just joined this site because of the spectacular race coverage and pics. Its nice to see yamaha in the top spots in the quad races and it will be very interesting to see honda is able to give them a run for their money, which I'd enjoy seeing. Unforturnately :( I have never owned a honda but have ridden an ex and they are fairly impressive. But I enjoy this site because of the Broad based quad coverage instead of the quad bashing in some of the more brand specific sites....KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! And also the respective members that you have gathered....

Well, in the best case senario, my father will end up gettin the new r in a few years and we'd have a nice pair of quads, but that isn't likely to happen and he's prolly gonna stick to the warrior for a bit. Anyways, thanks for the warm welcome. And hopefully I will be making my fair share of vid's and pic's as soon as I open my check book(which is currently empty due to the quad) and start modding my machine. And once I get a lil more experience on my yfz(only 5 hours of seat time so far :( ) maybe start some Local Pennsylvania racing....

[86atc250r]

Wow, great race coverage!

Thanks for the support - we were running well until about 3 laps before the break - our FCR lost the needle retainer bolt (my fault, practically the only thing I didn't loctite during our prep work) and caused serious jetting issues and throttle sticking as it bounced around in the top of the carb and tangled with the slide linkage.

Next, we lost a lap at the break coming in just after the cutoff due to the carb problems & an extra pit slowing our pace.

At the restart I jumped on the quad, and waited for the field to leave - then worked on the carb for a few minutes (at this point, still didn't know what the problem was).

Rode another lap with the throttle sticking - pulled in the pits. Was going to replace the carb, but found the real problem - lost 10 minutes fixing it.

After that the quad went back to running well, but I was fatigued from the whole process and wasn't able to turn laps I was happy with. We battled for 1st, then 2nd, then 3rd before finally getting back on track.

When darkness fell our top secret ;) headlight system kicked butt and allowed us to really kick up the pace - we made 10 overall positions in the dark and ended up 15th overall (during the daylight we were running anywhere from 20th to 25th).

Congrats to all race teams that finished - finishing itself was a huge accomplishment!

Team Emu - you guys had a great battle going for 2nd / 3rd and made up a lot of time in the last hour.

PS - finally, someone got a pic of me on the quad! (I'm in the gray Moose jacket and red/gray helmet). All the pics I've seen except for one posted here are my other two riders --- including the Ft Dodge, IA Sunday Messenger front page spread with a pic of our quad!!!

Thanks again for the great race coverage and the support! I'd also like to thank Lazarus Sommers at GT Thunder for all his help.

[WalshKFX]

[DVS_Freestyler]

yeah guys you missed a good race! it was my first race iv ever gone to and i thought it was badass! i rode the course sunday morning and wow, that is just sick! did any of you watch me at the freestyle show?? i woulda like to meet up with you guys if i woulda known who you were. :p

derek

[tprender]

I would like to thank everyone that did show up this year and you need to start making plans for next year. As you can see it is not like any racing that you are used to. The 1st year we had 52 teams. This year it was 68 teams and what will it be next year? There is a limit of 120 or so teams because of the size of the track. The were teams from Calif, Texas, Maryland just to name a few places.
The trick or treating in the pits on Friday night was neat also with the local kids from town getting to walk the pits and get candle from the riders. Team JPMX had the best display that night.
This was only our 2nd year for this year and we are still finding out thinks to make it better.

[joedirt]

Hertz Racing had problems in the AM leaking antifreeze fixed it. Came back in later on for pivot bolt nut backed off raplaced bolt and rear sprocket. 29th overall and last in class. 2nd half no problems worked our way up to 9th in class and 14th overall. We finished and now we know what and what not to do.

[jlhughes750]

great coverage Harlen

way to go everyone!!!!!!

lots of D6 guys out there.

how did everyone else do?
