Tear 'em up next season, Chase ! :devil:

[norrisboat]

Im racing out at Gleh Helen this weekend.

[MrP]

I will be racing the 2004 GNC MX Nationals. I am going to ride 250 Pro-Am and 4 Stroke A. If they have Production classes like I have been hearing I will ride Production Pro-Am and Production A.

[QuadR8cer12]

did you race pro am or 250 A this year? if you did do you remember racing against Hunter Miller? He placed 4th overall in pro am and 3rd in A. How did you do against him if you remember racing against him. He rode a silver CRF 450. It was Jeremiah Jones old quad. He is super fast.

[gibson400ex]

i am gonna hit 5 or so nationals on the eastcoast.....and all of the NEATVMX races.....

[diangelo#67]

as many as I can hit. I may be starting a new position at work and not attending every one.:mad:

[gimp419]

Diangelo 67 did you ride a Z400 in Open B last year? I think i remember you? If so what are you runnin next year?

Todd Cox man I wish you the best of luck in the pro-am class it is gonna be tough!

Spince buddy I appreciate your support! I'm gonna need all the luck I can get!

Seriously has anybody heard anything about the Am production class for 04?

[diangelo#67]

yeah that's me.
I'm runnin the same 400 but it'll be a 450 this year and I'm gettin a new jrd set up a-arms,swing arm, stem. unless you know someone who's looking for a z with brand new stuff and 2 motors:devil:

[roostin_dale]

I will be at a minimum of 3.
I will be racing on my 250x with a curtis sparks 300cc stroker kit.

For sure:
Casey, Illinois
Red Bud, Michigan
Loretta Lynn's, Tennessee

and Maybe:
London, Kentucky
Muddy Creek, Tennessee

[crashinmatt]

im gonna try to hit everyone after california. i cant afford to go and take all the time off work. but ill be racin either 4 stroke c or 250c. not sure yet.

[quadchick3]

I will be racing a 400ex in the womens b/c class. Hopefully going to all except glen helen and gator back.

[Soulfly]

Racing 4 stroke B Class. If Jay is goin to Cali and if I can go with Zittel, i may go to all of them.:cool:

[QuadR8cer12]

Jason told me he isnt racing that many of the nationals. He said his dad was going over to the war and isnt going to be able to take him or anything like that

[dawzie]

My son is going to try and hit them all - pro-am 250 and production "A"

[Soulfly]

Yea, jay said his cuz was might take him to them all. Not sure.

[quadchick3]

I'm trying to get some people together to pit with for next years GNC races, anyone want to?

[crashinmatt]

hey quadchick, we should have a few people together, i believe 4 for sure right now, occasionally a 5th, maybe more groupin up. maybe us ohio people can pit up. MrP they have made the rulings and the rule book is out, and they r havin producton pro-am, and production A, B, and C. i might just run production C. hmmm, decisions. either way im gonna be runnin C. go to www.atvaonline.com/index.asp and check it out. oh and one more thing 250 A, B, and C has been changed to 265 A, B, and C, and the 4 stroke limit has been raised to 450 in all classes.

[quadchick3]

matt, that would be sweet i think we're gonna try to get an ohioquadracing group together to hit most of them with. but the only peopl from ohio that i know are gonna try to hit them next year are like baisden, kurt, haidet, christa, u, and me and my brother... so far atleast!

[crashinmatt]

cool, ill talk to people i goin with and see what they say. they were talkin about callin our group erie coast quad racing or something like that.

[Soulfly]

Yeah i'll prolly pit close to the OhioQuadRacing ppl. If i dont go with jason, i may pit with baisden.

[quadchick3]

erie cost, sounds pretty cool. :o didnt donaldson say somthing about going....... LMAO

[haydug]

Where about are you all located in Ohio??
I'm in the southern tip, and plan to hit most of the nationals this year. Although Cal. if a little to far (and bad timing). But I'm also going to the NQRA race in Florida in Feb. if anyone is interested.

Another project I have been working on it getting Action Sports in Nelsonville, Oh to have an all quad weekend. If I can get enough support, he will put on a race for us. Talk about fun, we could have a 2 day event with flat track and mx and sx.

[crashinmatt]

well the group of people that i would be with r all from the same basic area all but one of us r like 30 minutes west of cleveland. the other is about 45 minutes to an hour west. we all live within 30 minutes of each other.

[quadchick3]

haydug, ive got relatives in gallipolis. we raced a fair race there like 2 years ago to.

hell lets just make it "whoever is racing nats next year and is from ohio can pit with the ohio people"

[haydug]

Sounds like a winner to me!!

[crashinmatt]

haha we need a big sign that says "OHIO RACERS PIT HERE". make everyone else from other states jealous

[QuadR8cer12]

[Sporttrax400ex]

im gonna run a couple of them that are closer to home. prolly only run about 2 or 3.

[MrP]

QuadR8cer12- No I raced the B class last year. I have raced with Hunter at locals over in Texas at Swan MX. Yea Hunter is fast and so is Cody. Thanks to the Millers my quad has a ride over to the Cali National.

Chase, thanks, good luck to you also. You should be able to take it all the way in Open B. Just keep the rubber side up! You ought to check out the Open B start in the London KY Rem-N-S video. Im sure you know what I am talking about. lol.

[QuadR8cer12]

We are going to talk to the millers about driving up there all together.

[Out_Sider]

Hey i have a question about the GNC's. I know that u can race a 300cc and down 4 stroke and 200cc and down 2 stroke in the youth production class and can be 14, and 15. I have a 330..does that mean i have to be 16 to race???? if so then that really sucks, but if not, thats pretty kool. BTW i'll be14 in january

[Sporttrax400ex]

ive never raced at the nationals. i will be riding a yfz450 prolly with a few mods. i am a pretty good rider and will be alot better then. what classes you guys running i dont know what im gonna run im gonna go to the tennese track and danielboone maybe 1 or 2 more not 4 sure yet.

[gimp419]

Todd buddy thanks for the kind words! Yeah I remember that race, I can't have any luck at Boone for some reason. You know the same exact thing happened in the 4-stroke production class too. I ran two main events that Sunday and got flipped on the start of both races! LOL! Yeah it's funny now but at the time I was so ticked off that I went from last to sixth! I ride so much better when I'm mad! Good luck in 04. Yeah Open B might be more fun now that Lawson is gone LOL!!!

One more thing. Was that you that I caused to flip at Red Budd? My motor seized right after the finish line on the first lap and some unlucky sole went flyin off of my rear tire tryin to keep from killin me. I was thinkin that was you but I'm not sure. If so SORRY!

[quadchick3]

outsider, im not sure about that. But i do know that they changed the age limits in youth production to 13-15 year olds. idk about the CC though

[crashinmatt]

well, that class is up to 300cc 4 stroke, so i believe that means ur out. i mean u could always try to run it and hope not to get protested, but i dont recommend that.

[quadchick3]

there was one kid that raced a blaster in our class this year, he was only 12, coulda past for a 14 year old though. anyways he was kinda suspicious so me and my friend checked him out, managed to get his real age outta him and we ran to registration, poor kid never got his trophy :) muahaha

[MrP]

Yea I got flipped over in the 250B main at Daniel Boone also. No, it must have been someone else at Red Bud. I got tangled up in the main at Red Bud though.

no you can not....a four stroke can only be up to 300cc's including overbore.

You could race but if you get caught breaking the rules you will get banned from the ATVA for a minimum of a year.

oh man thank god ill be legal, especially with u around:devil:

[quadchick3]

lol you better be or else id report ya! dun dun dun dun and we wouldnt want any of that now would we? :D

[hindelk]

yeah i heard katelynn had a 406 in her 250ex :eek:

[crashinmatt]

uh-oh busted!!!!! haha i see how it is tell on others when ur not legal. pfffft. j/k:blah:

[quadchick3]

psssh 406 in the 250? yah right, that 250 was literally BONE STOCK only thing done to it was itp holeshot mxr tires, the nerfs, and the front bumper. even stock pipe! still managed to snag me 5th so i cant complain:p

[hindelk]

there was only 5 riders wow that sucks :eek2: j/k kate :D

[quadchick3]

hmm well that wasnt very nice of you kurt!

[hindelk]

i sowwwy :(

[TCracin440ex]

i kno im racing birch creek....thats my local track...n the owner of the track is my friend...i go there every weekend and i know all the fast lanes and all the good groves i hope to be racing a 450r by then...but if not ill be on my 400ex....that track kicks hella arse

[quadchick3]

i didnt get to race birch creek this year, but i was there to watch. From all the riders I talked to, EVERYONE hated the track and the weekend. The flaggers that they had were in jr.high, and had no experiance and knew nothing about what they were doing.

and not to mention about how bad the track maintance was. Yah they 'prepped' the track, if you call tilling the first 50 meters with a tracker, prepping a track. I mean common this is supposed to be a national track, can't they do a little bit more?

I know this next part is not the tracks fault, its the atva's. But seeing as how we were all snowed out on sunday this year because of the weather, why would they move the date even earlier in the season next year? Doesnt anyone pay attention to their mistakes??

[TCracin440ex]

birch creek is a good track...last time i went it wasnt groomed wortha shyt...thats what caused me to have an accident...the take off side of the table top wasnt straight....and when i jumped it threw my quad in the air sideways.....my friend was beside me too...i somewhat landed on his raptor, threw me 15 ft, factured my back, chipped 6 of my teeth, bruised my ribs, my 4 head was swollen and bruised from the accident, and i had a concussion....on some weekends the track is goomed so perfect its just great...but other weekends its not groomed....if you race the track and you have been up there and u ride it every weekend...youll get to like it...i like it because its challenging.....i mean u complaining bout track maintence...but its not posta be easy...u wouldnt get the "feel" of the track unless u raced it....


bottom line is....its my local track, im good at that track, and im there every weekend, so i have good chances of winning more so than what i do going to maccon or lorettas

[ScooterX]

i would think that most of you would find a lot of the age restrictions outragous. if the kid could pass for 14, he was obviously to big for those mini quads so why would you protest him? i can understand protesting when someone is at an advantage (i.e. motor work in a stk class) but him being too young was probably more of a disadvantage.

Oh well, i guess some people like ruining a kids race day. just reminds me of the people that just ride around and just look for parking violations so they can call the cops on them.

protests for illegal motor work, and other mods is understandable, but did it really hurt you that the kid was a mear 2 years too young? :huh

exactly it is BS to tell on someone if they are 2 years younger.....if you told on him he must have kicked your ***:rolleyes: whoever tolded on him.

[hindelk]

shes a girl that rides a 250ex come on give her a little bit of slack what would you do if there was a 25 year old in the 30+ class that kicked your @$$ cause hes riden his whole life...you would protest him.

[ScooterX]

most riders are at their best in their late teens to mid 20's... not when they are 12. also, i'm talkin about the fact that protesting a 12 y/o that is too big for mini's is basically showin support for the age limits that i hear so many people complain about. protesting a 25 y/o in a 30+ class is different than protesting a 12 y/o in a 14-16 class when the 12 y/o's only other options are riding a quad that is too small for him or getting a $15,000+ mini that fits him. not everyone that races is rich.

but, rules are rules... and some things are just not fair. the alessi's get protested an estimated 40 times a year and they have never had an illegal bike. people just do it to hastle them cause they win so much... it may not be fair but sh*t happens.

just out of curiosity though... was that 12 y/o too fast for the class he got protested in?

p.s. sorry if my typing isnt great. i broke my wrist a couple days ago and im tryin to type as fast and as good as i can with one hand.

well the kid mustve been fast since it was mentioned that the kid never got his "trophy" after being DQ'ed.

[quadchick3]

*** i am 16 and i race a 400ex, not a 250 anymore kurt common get with the program :)

and Scooter, this is how i think of it. I know some of the age restrictions are insane but i mean you have to draw the line somewhere you know? And as for why I protested him, there is no tracks around me that had the 14-15 year class so thats why i raced in nationals, its the only place i knew that had it. Hell since I had to wait around untill i could race legally (atva rules n all) i figure everyone should be able to suck it up and do the same. But again this is entirely my opinion on it.

[hindelk]

i know katelynn :grr: but i was sayin when it hapened you were 15 and rode a 250ex:D

[haydug]

check out the thread here:

NEMX track up north Ohio. Looks like there should be a nice quad turn out. Anyone interested in comeing up on Sunday???

[quadchick3]

haybug, i think we might try to go. is there a womens class??

[haydug]

Come on up!! It is just practice so I'm sure as long as you are riding something, it won't matter if your male, female, fast, slow, whatever. Just looking to meet some people and have a good time.

[quadchick3]

oh so its just riding?? thats even better! yah my brother and I will probably be going up, do you know the times n crap??

[crashinmatt]

im gonna head up there as soon as i get my shocks back. that place looks sweet, and i cant wait to ride. that means its the place for me.

[quadchick3]

alright, someone needs to fill me in on this place.

What are the times on sunday everyone is goin?
Is there going to be dirt bikers there...
What is the pit area like?
Where exactly is this place?
Anyone know of any other girls going??
Do they have a website for little me to look at....?

:)

[crashinmatt]

katelynn u can go to www.pitracer.com, and look everything u need to know basically, but ill try to answer ur questions:

1. 10am to 6pm all bikes and all quads
2. most likely
3. its basically along the side of the track indoors for quads and bikes only. so its not really out in the weather. im sure if they get a lot of people then maybe it might spill outdoors for the pits.
4. they r located on Rt. 7, 3.5 miles north of Andover Square, Andover, Ohio 44003.
5. not sure.
6. not sure about a specific website, but here is a link to some pics: http://www.pitracer.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=16787
