MARYLAND - anyone?

[cletusEX]

Make sure you all bring plenty of gloves. Nothing worse than trying to hold on when you have wet muddy gloves on. I think we'll be pulling out of here between 8-9 so we should be up there by 11:00. I think it is going to be a muddy mess up there but it should be a good time.

yea all we talk about is where NOT to ride.

[400exvette]

The directions for that track are...PA turnpike to exit 13, 522 North, right 641 East, right Decorum Road- 1 mile on left. You can also take the exit before that and go over the last mtn. the closest town is Neelyton Pa. its pretty easy to find.

greg, these are the directions that I used to get there last year. If I remember correctly, the exit #s are a little screwy. I think they have changed in the last few years so an older map might have different numbers on the exits?????? or the directions that I have given could be wrong. Anyway, the map will show you the 522 and 641 routes and you can go from there. We actually took a different exit and ended up going over the mountain instead of going thru the tunnel and back tracking. I think we'll do the same this time. bring dem boots!:macho

[greghall]

Ok boys looks like its going to be a muddy mess:devil: :D LOL I love it ,as long as I don't get stuck!It should be a good time see you all there tomorrow,rain optional:blah:

A muddy mess it was but I had a great time. The people who run fotm were super nice and helpful. I got plenty of help with my boys during there race(and I needed it!) I had a bad race and still got a third place finish (better than I thought I did). Thanks Doug for helping with the boys. So how did everyone else do?

[greghall]

That's cool eric did you get a trophy?Had a alright time I don't feel to bad THAT WAS A ROCKY mess I gave up after the third lap & just rode around the track,I had to stand up & go faster because it was harder going slow:huh

[seatec]

Glad you guys had a good time. wish i could've been there. Next time i guess. Eric. Congrats on your 3rd place.

[Ericthered rdr]

Thanks Anthony and Greg I did get a trophy too. It was great for the boys because thats all they wanted was to come home with trophies and we did. I need to get a picture of us three next to them. I am glad I didn't get first place those 5 foot trophies were huge. My buddy Jim had to lug one of those home. He got first place in bike vet. Major props to the sponsor of that race for puting up such nice trophies. My kids will remember that place forever. (so will my poor back):macho

[greghall]

That's great Eric can't wait to get my kids into it,looks like more fun than racing yourself.Man that was a tuff course but I feel pretty good today,the winner of the C class I think passed mey on the 3rd lap he was rolling.Man Chris Borich is FAAAAST totaly unbeliveable how fast he can ride on that stuff:eek2:

[Ericthered rdr]

Who won overall and where did Andy come in?
Anthony you missed a good race course it was like Tomahawk but muddy, very muddy and more rocks. It was tough but it was not to much of one or the other. You would hit some mud than a rock section then a fast section, it was a great mix. I am looking forward to racing there again.

[greghall]

as soon as you hit the woods it was rock,rocks under the mudd,rocks everywhere,but I've raced chit like that before,Andy got 3rd,herzt got 2nd,Borich took first by a super long lead.Borich lapped me twice!!

[Ericthered rdr]

how many laps did you do greg? I did 6

[greghall]

I did six too I think I was one of the first to get cut off,thank god,I think if I would of pushed the last two laps I could have did 7 but nobody was catching me & I was'nt catching anybodt else so I took it easy the last two laps.I hate feeling like crap when I push myself over my limits,thank god it was cool out!Do you think its worth going to the dis. 7 meeting I don't think so we can try to get the results from Tomahawk,she did have the results posted at the race I seen them I was in 9 with 1 race,you were 12th,I should be in the top 5 now if all the raced were up to date.

I might. I am getting ready to go out and clean all of our stuff. I am glad I am off today. I am working 4 day work weeks this summer. BTW when I got home I fired up his quad and it ran fine I just think he over heated the clutch. He got stuck on a hill and instead of letting off the throttle and drifting back down to take another shot he just sat there with the throttle pegged for about five mins.

[chucked]

hey greg, have you ever been to that shop "Team Machine" between middle river and king avenue, across the street from pizza hut?

[seatec]

Hey guys. any takers for Easton this sunday. i feel like a little MXing.

[Delaware152]

[Ericthered rdr]

wow it took forever to get my quad clean. I suffered some minor damadge... I wasted my rear skid plate but at least I got to take mine home to be scrapped. I saw two skids out on the track yesterday. Tommy's clutch is good but he has an air leak between the carb and manifold. Danny's bike cam loose on the way home and the rear bounced into my footpeg breaking his rear brake arm and my heal guard. Looks like Danny might get a disk brake setup and I am gettting a heavy duty PRM skid plate.
Seatec I wish i could make it over to Easton but I am going camping in Gettysburg with the family this weekend.

[250RXCrider]

Anyone going to the Petersburg GNCC this weekend? Myself, Nick, Dan and Brian will all be there.

[cletusEX]

That might have been the muddiest race yet. There was a good 2 inches of mud caked on everything. I just cleaned the bike up and looked it over a little and so far haven't seen any damage. Even though i didn't do well I still had a good time. I had some good battles during the race (i think they were c riders but oh well) but just kept getting stuck. I got razr 2 fronts that need to go on. Those holeshots don't do too well in the mud, but I'll be ready for VA. Like always it's nice seeing everyone again.

[RTSE440]

Congrats guys on good finishes at FOTM!!!:macho

[400exvette]

OH MY BACK:grr: I feel like I got hit by a Mack truck....I was O.K. today but this evening, my back and legs are SMOKIN. That was quite a rough track...the slower you went the rougher it was....the faster you went the harder it was to hold on:eek: I was surprised at my 5th place finish in the B class...after getting hung up on the first lap...yes that was me that got stuck right in the same tree that had another guy hung up right before me:confused: what an idiot I was....actually my tires just happened to take the ruts he left behind...what a mess. So, the rest of the day I was playing catch up. My skid plate broke in half somewhere around mid-way and would de-rail the chain a couple of times per lap...that sucked! I still just tried to stay on the gas and hang on. I think I definately need a new swingarm now...the raised area where the two rear bolt holes for the skid plate are broken off. I can't see any other way to get a skid plate to mount without having nuts welded on:confused:

Does the E-ton guy sell parts? I need a gas cap for my sons 50cc.

Eric, your welcome! I think the kids racing is the coolest. My 6 yr old just doesn't have the willpower to actually race, he gets real nervous in a situation like that. He is starting to come out of it so maybe next year!...later...I hear the hottub calling:p

[400exvette]

me again:blah: ...hey Nick, thank Brian for the tie rod. I'm sure the one that was on it would have bent more in that rough stuff. It was a life saver. Do you guys have any stock swing arms with a good skid plate hanging around;) If so, I am in the market for one. Can you believe some of those guys raced both days? Can you imagine running that track on a bike:eek2: all that mud and those hidden rocks:eek: I'd still be on my first lap if I ran a bike there:p I'm on the fence about Va. GNCC :confused: later again

No problem about the tie rod. That's why we bring all our extra parts. I don't think we have any stock swingarms laying around but a guy on here said he had one in good shape and he was in Baltimore. I think his name was RUTHLESS. You might be able to pm him and find one. I also don't know how the bike guys made it through that track it was pretty nasty. It seems like all we race on(except budds creek) are rocks.

[Ericthered rdr]

I took the first lap very slow to scope out the course and save energy as a new strategy but what I realized was the rocks beat me to death so once again I had a bad plan. The second and third laps were wasted by my fuel line vent hose coming out of the holder and getting clogged with mud and I got hung up in that long deep rut that everyone was getting stick in. The third lap I was doing great then I picked a bad line and went left into a huge rut and could not get the quad out until some other guy stopped to help me. I don't have any Idea what I was thinking because the straight line was clear and fast. After that I was haulin *** and started floating on top of the rough sections hence the wasted skid plate. I really learned a lot from this race. This is going to be a long strech for me with no riding. I am camping this weekend then I am leaving the following weekend for a week long fishing trip with my dad. I probly wont get to throw a leg over this thing for at least a month. I might have to do a weekday trip somewhere with the little guys. I am still worked up from FOTM it was a blast. I enjoyed hanging out with you all.

[Honda5]

wish I could make easton but I'm booked til july 10/11 weekend. Good job eric on the race.

[seatec]

Sorry you guys can't make it.
Chris, i think your shoulder would do fine when riding in moderation. Just warm it up real good and stretch the muscles.
There is always the PeeWee track. yu can there with me.

Anthony that is a good question that has a bad answer! I would recomend a 250EX but the libs recomend that the kid be 16 before getting on such a machine. Anyway they dont make a good inbetween quad for that age group. The kids are kinda forced into an adult quad. If the kid has clutch skills I would go for a blaster. Bone stock they are great for kids then when they get a year or two of experience a pipe and reeds turns that thing into a fun and quick little quad. I know a couple of people that are selling nice blasters. I think new they are $3100. Did you get a knock on the door from a kid that called you daddy?:blah: :devil:

[seatec]

Lol. god No. a friend asked me for his son.
He'd like to stick to Thumper though. Don't like 2-strokers much

The e-ton viper is getting very popular. The list of mods for that thing could set you back a new 450r. I was at sugar hill and a guy came in with a new one for his kid and I was impressed with it. I really like the polaris 90 preditor but damn that thing is expensive compared to the viper. I just wish they had these things when I was a kid. I am having flashbacks of the old ATC110 with no suspension and how many times that thing rolled on top of me with no helmet or chest protector:eek2:

$2050 is a great price if it is out the door. I will keep an eye out on an xr50 for you. Man they are fun to ride. I can't wait till Danny outgrows it so I can do an 88 kit and bars.

I got a call from Jay at Tomahawk and he said that Bruce sent out the results to somebody. I am waiting for him to call back after he finds out who. I talked to Walt from FOTM for about a half hour today about the race and how f'ed up things are with D-7 and the lack of intrest from the board with the HS series. Are you gonna go tonight or are you waiting to hear from Karen after the meeting. What should we do??? I am not sure going is gonna get us any results from the people I talked to. There are some big heads and stubborn ways in that board from what I am told. I just want to see a c class started and some representation from the board with intrest in the HS series.

[cletusEX]

Let me know how things with Tomahawk go. Brian used to race with a guy who helps up there, so maybe we can try and get a hold of him and see if he knows anything. Karen said something about them maybe not having them at all so lets all hope someone comes up with the points. It's like trying to get info out of 3rd graders. No one know who gave what to whom.

[greghall]

Eric I was'nt going to go after talking to Karen,I've already got something to do tonight areyou going?It would'nt be a bad Idea for you to go.You do have a way with people:D ,$2050 is out the door at Ridersville for the predator,KFX80 too!I'm not giving up my 3rd at TOMAHAWK!!!!!!

Yeah I seen the book for all that stuff to,It looks good but cash is a little tight:grr:

[chucked]

**** dirt first man, I call the guy up for a swing arm nut and bolt, he tells me 22 bucks for the bolt and 18 for the nut, I thought thats outrageous but i had no choice, so i go up there, he bumps it to 32 bucks for the bolt aned 22 for the nut! i bought the bolt because i only had enough money for it. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! If I got it from Team Machine it would have been half that (also would have taken a week or so) Im gonna try metric fasteners and a&a bolt and screw tomorrow. If alban carried sizes this big it would be about 2 bucks for the bolt and 40 cents for the nut. B/S!

[greghall]

Chucked you proply talked to Tom he does sell most stuff to people he don't know for retail or marked up,I've been going there for years & run Dirt First stickers all over my bike & do well at the races I would'nt say he's my sponsor but he gives me killer deals on stuff so that's why I trust Andy & buy all my stuff from him,Are you sure it was not a chrome moly bolt & nut that stuff is high $$.

I talked to some ******* kid, its just a regular nut and bolt.

I talked to Norm from team machine, he said you wont get banged on freight or shipping fees, its a straight up deal, and the first service is free. They're up petes for a little over 2k and then they get you for freight, shipping, titleing....

Dude relax. that is not a bad price for a chrome molly bolt and nut I have seen them on websites for more. The list price for an OEM bolt is $23.86 so you figure a better on is only gonna cost more. Now the nut is a different story, OEM is $3.20. Here is a good reference, hope it helps

Oh that ******* kid is Brett he is an A- class MC rider in the HS series. I think he is in the top three in the district. You ran into the same problem most all of us run into. Unless you are a regular in a local shop you pay list or worse. Thats why I only shop Mid atlantic cycles and Dirt First.

ITS a Regular (oem) bolt, NOT chromoly, its b/s if I knew it was gonna be this much I would have ordered it from my neighbor

[chucked]

Im gonna return it tomorrow, IM gonna say my reason is because it was 50% more then everywhere else. I can get the nut off of boltdepot.com for 46 cents, im gonna get a few of those and a bunch of other bolts and nuts so shipping wont be ridiculous.

[cletusEX]

Expect to pay a good bit more for any part that's in stock. Not just at Dirt First but any shop in general. That's why I always order my OEM parts from Sevice Honda or Troy. A lot of aftermarket parts can be directly ordered from the manufacturer. I've found that if you talk to the manufacturer and tell them you race you get a pretty good deal. It sucks when you need something asap but I can't stand paying up to twice as much for simply parts.

[250RXCrider]

Just my two cents, do you realy think common metal rounds stock is going to hold up to the abuse that the swing arm bolt takes. I would order the chromoly bolt from Baldwin Motorsports.

swing arm nut...
Dirt first-$22
metric fasteners-$0.40 (free, $10 minimum so he gave it to me, i tipped him a few bucks to make it all good though)

[Ericthered rdr]

the damn damadge report from Sunday keeps growing.... I thought that Tomm'y handle bars were the only thing that moved...well the stem bent when he rolled down the hill. A new stocker is $68.00 but I wonder if Roll makes one in crome:D BTW Greg when you are ready to pull that LT50 out for the kiddo let me know I have found a ton of info on it in the past couple of days. I pulled another huge restrictor out of the intake manifold last night and ported it too while I was in there:devil: It did make an improvement but it still needs more power:macho I think a pipe is comming:eek2:

[greghall]

Yeah man I heard about the restrictor in the pipe & intake,the clutch I think would need the most mods,I'm really leaning toward the E-ton that bike does look pretty shape & has alot of good fetures that the Honda does'nt have.Eric are you going to the Wisp or is that when your going fishing?

[Ericthered rdr]

WHen is the Wisp???? end of July????

[greghall]

Sat. june 26 in three weeks!

[seatec]

speaking of fishing. snagged me three good bass in our mini pond last night. felt good to have something running wiht the line again.

[greghall]

I thought so Richie is going the whole week on vaction to Deep Creek so I'll be going solo up there if I go.Will have to see what's going on in the nexst 2 weeks If I'm going or not.Seatec did you sell the Grizz yet?

[Ericthered rdr]

Karen just e-mailed me back saying that the results wouldn't open because her norton anti-virus said that they were loaded with trojan viruses????!!!! WTF I told her I would print them and bring them to the next meeting.

[greghall]

Is it the 50 or 90

[Pappy]

its the 04 90

[Pappy]

the eton is better suited for racing IMO. it can be modded much further for less then the honda, it out handles the honda and is faster. the eton hydrolic brakes are a huge benefit along with the 2 stroke hit.

my boy wanted a shifter quad so the honda will get the duty of haulin his arse around:p

[greghall]

You got me thinking now Pappy.Got any recent pics?

[checkster]

Hey guys, question for ya. Kids KX60 sucked a case seal the other night and blew the crank. Well it started scoring the piston before we shut it off. Am getting ready to rebuild it but im trying to save some cash right now cause things are tight. Do any of you guys know if I can hone a nikasil bore so i can just throw in a new piston kit and crank? It has a couple slight marks on the bore but I thought it might be able to hone it out. I really dont have the cash for a sleeve or get it re-nikasiled. I hate cheaping out but its that or hes going to have to not ride for a month or two(and this is prime riding) cause I dont have the extra money.

Thanks,
Tom

[greghall]

You can't hone a chrome cylinder but if its not scrachted that bad just put on a new ring & piston,its should be ok also check for cracks.

[checkster]

its not chrome.........its like molybendellum or some **** like that. the coating looks pretty thick and had hone marks on it when i took it out of the box new.

Hey Tom give Josh or Dan a call they can tell you. 410-420-1800

[greghall]

Eric looks like your right the kids can't race a 90 till they are 9,8 in the Koonzt series,but the E-ton 70 is legal,50 to 70 cc is for 5-9 year old kids,that is the only bike that fits most kids.

[Ericthered rdr]

51-70cc Production 6-11 Years Old= district 6
if your boy boy is 7 definately go for the e-ton 70 since you can turn it into a 90 for real cheap!

[Ericthered rdr]

Greg, I talked to John from miniatv.com and he says wait for the '05 Kasea 50. He claims it will do 37mph right out of the box. He also said with the 70cc stroker kit it will wip up on most all 90cc modified quads. He told me that the 50 is neck and neck with a stock LT80...yes 80 and if it does not perform as advertised he will refund the money. The '05s will be out in a few more weeks. I am not ready to jump on one yet but if we buy one at the same time we can get a good deal on them.

[greghall]

Who sells them around here?Did he say anything about th E-tons?

[Ericthered rdr]

Originally posted by greghall

he is a dealer for both and he said the e-tons are prone to frame issues and the Kasea is faster. both offer the same reliability but he said if you are planning on letting the kids race andare limitted to a stock 50cc class then the kasea will outrun any other stock quad or your money back. I know what I am getting!!! (well Tommy is getting)

See if you got it now. I had a i instead of a j as the first letter of your address.:confused:

[greghall]

Eric I don't like the looks of the Kasea,its got a cheap look,The E-ton viper 70 may be better for my needs,Also I found out who makes the predator for porlaris Aeon makes them.I think all the engines are very similar,all are made in Taiwan.

Eric .....did you get the holeshot in your class at foot of the mountain.....check out the pictures in the race report section

[greghall]

James see you still got the 250R!Man that thing is nice ,get your $ don't give it away,keep it first,If I had the $$ i would buy it!

Yeah, I still have it....I have got quite a few low ball offers, but I would give a fellow Marylander a good deal on it. :D

After they post the D-7 point standings, I am going to see where I am in the 2 stroke class and maybe wipe the dust off it and take it out. :devil:

[greghall]

I'm sure you are in first,the only 2 stroke I seen:D We are suppose to have a C class now,A,vet,B.C but I don't know what that means for the points.I know I have 54pts.in B class I'm making sure I have mine kept.

[250RXCrider]

I had all my points written down, but when I changed class I lost track. Is the new class schedule in effect or was FOTM a test run. If they change the class structure, then I wonder if I get my 2 stroke points in the new B class?

[greghall]

I don't know about that she said C class would not pay end of year points this year.And then it would be unfair to transfer your 2 stroke points to B ,they would be more than if you competed in 4str. B because I know they were proply 2nd or 3rd or what ever ,you actually were'nt racing 4str. B,She said this was a proplem with people wanting to carry points over to another class & would'nt be aloud.

[250RXCrider]

That sounds fair, but I think she would have been better to make the class changes specifically open B at the begining of the next season

I got second on the holeshot but picked him off when we got into the woods. I ran behind Nick almost the whole first lap. Damn slowpoke wouldn't get out out of my way:blah: No actually he let me pass in the grass section the he passed me when we were headed for the woods. I really liked that race for some reason. Mabey because I am getting back in shape and don't feel like I am dying on the last lap:eek:

[400exvet]

greg, I see what you mean about the need for a 13 tooth front sprocket on the 450. It doesn't want to lug around at low speeds without feathering the clutch. But, DAMN that thing flies:eek2: I was trying to find Dirtfirst's website. Is there one? Can you order from it? I need to get skids and a twist throttle before I can think about racing it. I've been running a twist for so long, I feel like a goober with that thumb throttle. I can't hang on right or turn right...I like to killed myself the other day in the field, I haven't tried it in the woods yet.:D

the last weekend in July. It is about 3.5 hour away

[greghall]

Doug, dirtfirstracing.com is there web site but call down there at 410-686-9693 Andy should have everything in stock you need for that bike,You will be able to lug that thing with a 13T on the front.I did'nt know you were a twisted man them things take some time getting use to.I had one on my Banshee it would get you in trouble once and awile when you had to hold on & pulled it full throttle:eek:

[greghall]

Try to talk to Andy or Brett & tell them that you race all the HS in the area he may give you some good prices!

[seatec]

Greg. i think thats a good idea. maybe we can get the truck filled with 4 guys and all go up. I'm sure the truck would welcome some hard labor for a change. lol

[kwatts400]

Seatec, are you still going to Easton this Sunday? I think I'm going to be able to make it finally.

[seatec]

kwatts. i am certainly going to try my damndest. I have to do some stuff to th quad for the MX track like change the wheels and tires and maybe thorw the stock shocks on and remove skid plates and stuff.

[greghall]

[seatec]

well, we see what we can do with the quads. I dont mind leaving early but wont promise anything until we closer to the actually date. I don't forsee a problem though. Maybe we can persuade RTSE440 to come as well. the whisp is a lot of high speed stuffright? nothing to rough?!

[greghall]

High speed on the ski slopes but very rockey in the woods,shoul'nt be that bad its suppose to be a good XC course.I need to see if every thing is a go to closer to the date anything can happen with me too.

[seatec]

Yeah, you have the added complication of a new born and wife with hormones all scrambled up. hehe

[RTSE440]

Easton.....This Sunday.....I'm there:cool:
Looking forward to some VERY light MXing.
Gotta take off all this XC stuff off my quad too. Quiet core is definately comming out as well. I won't be fast , but I'll sound fast. :D

[250rmike]

ill try to make easton sunday since i cant go to the va race on sat. what kind of bike will you be riding if i can get there. ill be on a white z400 with some nerfs on it. ill be in a black tahoe.

[RTSE440]

I'll be the slowest guy on a blue YFZ450...no lights...nerfs, AC bumper, polished HMF slip-on, white Cycra handguards. I'll be riding with seatec...he's got a white YFZ450 with K&K flame graphics. I'm driving a black and silver Dodge Ram . We usually get there pretty early. Hope to see you there.:D

[greghall]

You guys need to make it to the Wisp its the best one of the year give XC a try,you'll leave that MX stuff alone:devil:

[250rmike]

im gonna try to make it. ill look for you guys if i get to go.

[kwatts400]

I will be there on Sunday. I will be on my 450r w/ razr's all the way around. I'll be in a crappy blue s-10 pick up. Thats what I get for putting off buying a trailer.

[RTSE440]

Looks like I'm gonna have to make it to Easton another time. Sorry. :( I'll catch you guys there another time. Have fun and be safe!!!!!!

[250rmike]

well i woke up alittle late so im ot going maybe next weekend though

[chucked]

i heard a rumor that 200-300 stolen quads and bikes were found in harford county after a police set up/sting

[250rmike]

holy crap thats alot of stolen bike

[kwatts400]

Did anyone go to Easton on Sunday? I went for a few hours before I went to work.

[Delaware152]

I was there on Sunday. Silver C-Dale with 250r plastic.

[250rmike]

i ended up not going. i got up late and figured it wasnt worth it but i forgot that they are open later now. guess ill try for this sunday.

[Delaware152]

Easton is closed this Sunday b/c of the Budd's Creek national. They are open on Wed, Fri and Sat.

[kwatts400]

I think I was parked across from you, I was the only person there on a 450r.

[250rmike]

damn i go back to work wed and gotta work fri. and sat. hmm guess it will be a few weeks till i get there. that will give me some time to either get the r back together or to get the z up to speed

[250rmike]

also it doesnt say that there closed on there website at least that i can find where did you see this?

[Ericthered rdr]

Hey I had a long weekend with no riding and it doesn't look like I am going to be able to get back on this thing untill the first weekend in July. I dont give a chit how hot it gets I am going riding that weekend.

[250rmike]

i can ride any sunday saturdays i work until 4pm so anytime after that. unless i dont have a quad. whenever some people wanna go riding im in so let me know and im game. after the 21st im 18 so i can go anywhere and sign for myself.

hey YLW400, I thought you would be at Budds this weekend. I am still thinking about going on Saturday. From what I can gather, they are racing quads Fri and Sat. What times do they usually run the quads? Are they last? Later

tomahawk is a pretty fun place to play around. the mx track is pretty quad friendly and the hs loop is rough enough to get you in shape but not bad enough where you break stuff. a good place to try that new frontend out

[YLW400]

[400exvet]

YLW400,
Between district 7 schedule and Budds Creek schedule, it looks like they are racing MX and Supercross on Friday and Saturday and that includes quads.
The Pro Nationals are on Sunday. I have decided not to go

Sounds good to me:D

[400exvette]

I'll be there Friday night. Staying like 5 minutes away. I'm bringing the wife and kids and hopefully the R. I should have all the skids in and on it by then. I got the bars,clutch lever and twist on. I got the swingarm skid today. I would like to have nerfs before I race it too...I'll see if andy has any in stock!

Greg I can haul your quad, but I will not have any room in the truck for you. Maybe you can find something more comfortable to drive. I'll be leaving Friday afternoonish....let me know. Also, what did you do with your key switch and temp. light? I hooked mine back up, turned the key on and left them under the hood all strapped down.

Nick, I'll see you guys somewhere I'm sure! Are you going to bring any pit guys or gals? We all may need a splash of gas! Although, I did run the entire Rausch Creek race with no stops for gas! I didn't like the feeling of not being sure about gas. I know the R has a bigger tank, but I'm sure it uses a little more too. Later, Doug

[250RXCrider]

Doug,

I disconnected my switch assembly and zip tied the temp. light to the inside of the handle bar mounts. When you disconnect the the key switch you need to connect the black and red wires together. You can then connect your kill switch to the black wire with white stripe and the green wire. This will allow the fan, temp light and carb heater to still work. I also got rid of the head lights thanks to the Petersburg GNCC, brake light and all those damn brake light swtiches on the levers. I will be up at WISP with Nick and the gang so hunt us down and I will show you mine.

Later,
-James

I think my buddy Brian's girlfriend is coming but I usually don't have to pit. Last year we pitted behind the hotel on one of those grass sections. I think we will be around there this year. We also got a house so Sat night should be a good time. If I see ya during the pro race I'll have a beer for ya.:D

[YLW400]

Hey Delaware, did numbnuts video himself??? He should of used Mikes' Cannondale instead!! lol

[400exvet]

Nick, what is the name of the Hotel where you pitted behind last year? What is its general direction from the main entrance? I've never been there and I would like to find y'all without having to drive around the whole complex. If you can, save me a spot next to you. I should get there around 8 or so.

James and/or Dan, do you think you can make it without stopping for gas?

[250RXCrider]

Doug,

I ran Rausch and Petersburg on one tank of gas. At Rausch I had a completely stock quad and at Petersburg I had my slip on, HRC air box lid, HRC needle and a 180 main jet. I know Dan put a splash in at Petersburg, but I am not sure about Rausch. I plan on making the entire race at WISP on one tank. If you get worried you could come in on the third lap and for a gallon.

We generally park right behind the WISP lodge. You would drive straight in then go up behind the lodge. The parking lot is extremely small compared to Rausch so it should not be hard to find us. We basically pit at the base of the two front ski slopes.

so who all is going to easton sunday? i think im just gonna go there and try to work with my new shocks that should be in friday and also get alittle more seat time and just hit the next race.. anyone wanna meet up. ill either have a black 2 door tahoe or a blue full size bronco(depends on if i come by myself or not)

[kwatts400]

I should be able to make it, but I'll have to leave early to go to work. If I can make it, I'll be in a silver Pathfinder. Anyone else?

[greghall]

Doug you should be able to go the whole race on a tank of gas,the most I've burned in a race so far has been 1 1/2 gallons that thing gets some killer milage,good luck to all you guys in the race & be safe!

[seatec]

The website on the landing says that there is an AMA race there next sunday? is that BS?

[250rmike]

hmm i just saw that under special events? so i guess there not open to everyone? i guess ill be racing at tomahawk and just have to get used to the shocks there


nevermind i just reread it it will still be open for open riding. guess im still going there

[250rmike]

anyone know of a mx track i can ride on alittle bit saturday after 4pm cause i gotta work till then so i cant make it to easton. maybe a track in the woods or something?

[seatec]

So guys. can we or can we NOT ride this sunday at the landing?

[seatec]

never mind. i just called them and the recording says no open riding on sunday. WHen do the quads usually start racing?
JC? Delaware? you guys should know!

[250rmike]

hmm the website says you can though man guess im goin racing. damn my plans keep changing

[YLW400]

If you are racing, I would say be there at 8am..just to be safe....

[seatec]

JC i wont be racing but i might want to check outt he quad races. Are the bikes first?

[YLW400]

I honestly am not sure of the order...It changes every race unfortunately

[seatec]

ok cool.

[seatec]

Well, i made it out to Easton at arond 11 or so just in time to see the last quad race of the day as far as i know. It was fun to watch. I coudnt belive how packed the parking lot was. there was room for any more trucks bigger than a Tonka. Most where bike riders though. i saw maybe 20 quads all together. Oh well. I am sure that the quad business will pick up more in the future. anybody else do anything cool this weekend?

[250rmike]

im gonna try to get there sunday to get my shocks set up alittle i was gonna race but i just had no where to ride and set them up.
