i noticed that none of the races on the list go very far east as well. i'm not sure about this, but i think it's to keep it from competeing with the GNCC... region 1 is more west coast, region 2 is more southwest. the farthest east it goes is two races in texas and one in colorado. or maybe i'm looking at the wrong site... :confused:

looks like some hard core hills there! it also looks very wide open... like goldendale. is there any tight & technical sections? nasty rocky stuff? muddy? water crossings? how long of a loop is it?
the track at goldendale is very open as well, it has some narrow sections but nothing i'd consider tight. when it's wet it is very muddy, the clay sticks like glue... they were watering some sections when i rode it about 6 weeks ago... to the point that they were mud pits... other sections were dry & dusty. loop is 6.25 miles

Hmmmm thats something to think about!! Might have to stick the boy out on my 300 for one of them races:blah: :devil: Is there age requirements for cc's does anyone know?? He's 14 will be 14 in May, riding a 300ex or 400ex ya just never know!! I would really like to get him to some big races maybe someone will notice him cuz the kid CAN ride. I doubt I would race them cuz I know I DONT' have the stamina unless of course I quit smoking & started working out now LMAO!!!!:rolleyes:

Hm ,well the trails are a bit like the ones at Milford I guess.. Did you go to it this year in Cali? The trails are very small and if Im correct, its about a seven mile radious in total. I dont know if Robin has much up on the track yet, but Ill post the link for you to check it out. She Did tell me yesterday that Payette(Clay Peak) is contracted for 2004 and 2005!!:macho http://www.whiteknuckleracing.org/ this track will eventually have full sprinklers in the spring . ITs a natual Terrian Track,its pretty cool, I just cant wait until they add some bumps and jumps and rolly stuff!:blah:

Dirtmomma- i believe all ATV riders have to be 16, the rules are at www.worcsracing.com nerfs are not required but i think a tether kill switch is.

airheadedduner- washougal is very woodsy, they do use the MX track... but it is a very 'natural' terrain track... the whoops are big:eek2:, but no huge sky shooter jumps for the most part, but there are opportunities to jump....

quadjunkies- i didn't go to milford but i watched at washougal(couldn't afford it & had no quad). i've been racing in some local stuff lately.

11-14-2003, 07:47 PM

Hey Andre, thanks I'll have to check out the rules thats a bummer if so, don't they have kids classes?? sooo I see it says your racing locally, where at??

fox racing ,pred. the reason for no mid west races is that the person who promoted the east series had a falling out with the worcs series.

I can go watch #7, but I don't think I'm quite up to racing. I'd like to hit a local circuit first, just to get some experience under my belt. Problem is, our local circuit just went under this last year...

foxracingpredat

11-24-2003, 09:51 PM

hey wilkin250r, i dont know what kind of rider you are but i think you should go out and race round 7 because the Worcs arent much differnt from your local rcaes. maybe a few more riders and a few more tough obstacles but i htink you could do it. i rcaed some Worcs rcaes last year and they werent much differnt from the local d16 hare scrambles.

the 'official' schedule is now posted, Washougal has been dropped, and Longview, WA now takes its place. its only a few miles north of washougal. i've never been to this track... can't say good or bad about it.

Man that sucks. I loved the Washougal track. Oh well. I also see they posted all the final results for this years rounds. I turned an over 5th finish in the west series. Also made the top 15 in the west series. Pretty good for my first year eh?

THANKS! I wish I could do the who season next year but I am getting married on Jan 3rd and all my funds will be taken up for the year. I will make a few of them though that are somewhat close to me. The 06 race season I should be able to do the whole season because the Mrs will be out of school and working as a nurse. I guess we will see what happens.

You think so? I'm a decent rider, I suppose, but I've NEVER raced, not once. I don't think I want to lose my virginity to a national event, I'd be in over my head.

i agree with them too, you have plenty of time to get ready by round 7.... there are a few local races between now & then too if you want to try a local one first. give it a shot!

Hey Nate, I just got a letter from WhiteKnuckleracing(owner of the clay Peak Track for WORC in Payette) they are closing down the track until spring:grr: looks like no practice on it until then:confused: We have been debating on a set of tires for theat terrain. I should post some pics and get some imput for you all.This terrain is VERY sandy. and I mean DEEP stuff, but the trails are talk powder,dessert like and clay . This track will make or break ya on the tire situation........

How much does it cost to race in WORCS? what needs to be done? What riding equipment is needed? and if anything what needs to be done to your quad?

I know last year was $50 to race if you weren't pro. Pro's were $100. You really don't need to do a lot to you machine. Nerf bars are good and I like to have a kill switch. The rules say you need one but they never check. Just show up to one of the races and see what classes they have or go to the website and see the classes. Sign up for one and go race. It is a blast!!

race fee this year is $50 too, if you pre-register a second class is $40 (you can run both days, saturday & sunday, if you are B class or better)
other costs to factor:
WORCS membership is $30/year or a day pass(no points) is $10... but you must have one of the two in order to race...
gate fee varies between $5-$10 per day at most tracks

LazeR- i'm not sure where you are in oregon, but Milford, Ca isn't that far, niether is Payette, ID...
