Rode Rausch Creek on Sunday......OFF THE HOOK!! Track was awesome, weather awesome, great day of MXing. To top it off, John Natalie Jr. was there with the East Coast ATV crew...including Michele Reiser :D . I wish I was half as fast and smooth as them!!!. How those quads stick to the track in the big sweepers at pro speed is amazing!

Awesome man, I met John Natalie and Michelle Reiser at the WISP GNCC and they were really nice people to talk to.

Hey guys! Got back from fishing, had a killer time! I had a whole week of fishing with no bad weather, no cell phone, wife, kids, work, just 6 straight days of fishing in the lower bay and ocean. I caught the hell out of some nice fish. I even got a 70 pound black drum while flounder fishing on a light rod with 12# line. Well I filled the freezer with meat and glad to be back to get some riding in. I have a 4 day weekend and am looking to go riding somewhere. If any of you are off on Friday that would be a good day to go for me.

It is on private land. Checkster could give you more details about riding there.

[Honda5]

Hey guys, Just got back from vacation on Sat. night and raced on Easton this past Sunday. While I was there I found out that they were having Rider Appreciation Day this Saturday, July 3. It's $15 to ride and free ice cream from Edy's. I'll be there. Hopefully it won't be too packed.

[250rmike]

yea that would be cool i might have to come check it out someday if thats cool with whoevers land it is. i need a good place to practice

[greghall]

Glad to see you back Eric you lucky dog:grr: I wish I could go away for a week of awsome fishing:D I have been having some good luck with the bass this week hope it stays good after a $hitty spring.Now we can talk XC all these guys want to do is jump & MX stuff:blah: I did'nt make the Wisp but Richie said it was a killer race & real tough rock sections.

[250rmike]

hey hey now i talk about doing both im gonna try doing both its just i like mx better right now while im young and can still live through jumping and not landing big jumps and not have to complain about my hip:blah:

[400exvet]

I don't wanna talk XC stuff...I hate XC..well at least I did on the third lap of the WISP. I was having a blast, riding good, sitting around the top 5 and WHAAAAM:eek: :confused: . I don't know what I hit with the right rear but it almost threw me in the weeds. I gained control, shook the cobwebs out and let er eat some more! About a mile down the trail I felt something was not right and out of the corner of my goggles, I saw a little black thing roll into the woods:eek2: It was my rear tire, hub and all. I guess the prior impact broke the hub nut cotter pin which allowed the hub nut to back off. It honestly took me 20 minutes to find the tire...I was just seconds away from leaving it when I tripped over it. At the beginning of the race, the official said " Be careful in the woods because the abundance of knee high fern hides things very well!" ie rocks, stumps, dead bodies, tires etc! I should have listened:D . So, the rest of my 90 minute lap 3 was trying to get back to the pits with 3 wheels and carrying the other:grr: I eventually ground up the splines so bad that the tire actually stayed on for the last half mile or so. I ended up 30th out of 38:( .
Thank you James, Dan and Brian for all the hospitality. James how did you do?
Way to go Pappy! you clutchless fool:blah: You ate me up off the line but I soon caught yo *** :devil: Why didn't you stop and help me find my tire:p You could have had a smoke too.
Anyone going to OHIO for the John Penton GNCC?

[Pappy]

lol...it took me a 1/4 mile to realize it was you:eek: it was kinda tuff trying to learn how to use the clutch or lack there of and the TWIST throttle:p

i had smokes stashed but lost them somewhere:grr:

yeah the start is my best part:p

[Ericthered rdr]

Were you on the R or the EX Doug? That sucks that happened to you but at least you made it out alive. You guys had awsome wearther up there for that race!.

[400exvet]

The whole weekend was pretty good overall. We stopped on the way home Sat night and stayed in Frederick, then went to Harpers Ferry Sunday.

I was on the EX. I really didn't want to break in the R on a race like that. I just feel more comfortable on the EX. I have all the necessary goodies for the R to be able to race XC now. I will be getting some good seat time in this weekend.

I would like to lower the rear a little but still use the stock shock. I have seen a couple different brackets just not sure which one to get. I see Andy somehow broke a part of his rear linkage at the WISP...bummer

Pappy, did your Elka's come with a different bracket or did the shocks just lower it enough?

[Pappy]

i run the same elka link as andy, and you have to mod the hell outta any skid plate to make it fit.


if you remain with the stock shock id recommend calling GT Thunder and ask him about his linkage...from what i hear it works great

[cletusEX]

That sucks Doug but glad you had a good time anyways. I had some things come up at the last minute and couldn't make it but hey there's always next year.

[Pappy]

another race this weekend near morgantown if yall is up to it!

[250RXCrider]

Doug,

Glad to hear you made it back to the truck. I saw you on the side of the trail and you gave me the thumbs up so I kept going. I made a couple poor decisions at the beginning of the race in some of those bottle necks and it really hurt my race, I finished 22. I believe Dan finished 16th and Brian finished 6th. Have you had anytime to ride the new R, Oakland, MD is our next district race. By the way it was nice to meet you wife and kids, your boy looks like he is ready to tear up the trails!

Later,
-James

BTW.....Cletus we missed you up there! Em and Dan had to drink the pitchers by themselves:D

yup, but the jumps are pretty big now. and they put in a nice table top too......a little short length wise, but nice. they eliminated the gravity cavity and bypassed it with a bunch of doubles. its nice if all you like is doubles everwhere.

tom

[seatec]

Cool. its nice to not have those damned whooped out sections anymore. that stuff used to beat us up big time. is the big uphill groomed as well?

[cletusEX]

Where's everyone riding this weekend?

[250RXCrider]

[checkster]

LOL........yeah the up hill is groomed. now its 15 big whoops instead of 30 little ones......still not the smoothest hill climb.

Man things have been slow here. I haven't been on the quad since the FOTM race. Between work vacation and family parties I am just going crazy for a chance to ride. I had a 4day weekend and still no chance to ride. I hope some of you all are getting some seat time! I want to set something up for this weekend because I need to ride!

[kwatts400]

I went to Easton a few Sundays back, but haven't ridden since. I want to check out my new/used shocks in the worst way.

Eric the District 7 meeting is tonight ! Are you going & taking the Tomahawk results to Karen so there is no more excuses,I can't make it tonight but let me know if you are going to show up!Look on their web sight to find out were its at (turf vally),I'll see ya later!

[YLW400]

Greg, would you find out what in the hell is going on with the MX points too???? This is downright ridicolous!!!!!!!!!

If the meeting wasn't 2.5 hours away from me, I can assure you I would be there.....

[greghall]

I don't think anybody at district 7 gives a fu%$ about any of their racers or races I will not contiue to race district 7 nexst year if things don't change I will go up north & run district 6 at least they care about thier Quad riders there!!!!:mad: I've blasted them on thier forum & all I get are excuses ,they don't get paid or don't have time SO DON"T DO IT DON'T BE A REP. District 7 suks!!!!!

I second that Greg !!!!! I think our group is going to try to keep hitting the GNCC's. They are better organized and the promoters seem to give a sh$t.

[400exvet]

It would be nice if the quads got a little more recognition. But, unless you get someone in there that has the drive to make something happen, we will just have to live with what we get:(
With DRIVE, you make the time whether you get paid or not.

I finally got some seat time on the 450r. We have about a 2-3 mile loop in the woods which is very tight and rough with some mud and a couple of straighter sections I could wind out 2nd gear. WOW what a different beast than the 400EX. The most noticable differences are the weight and the power. Being lighter, I found myself throwing it around alot more where on the EX I tend to let it do what it wants. With the extra power, it wants to spin out or lift the front end up when coming out of a corner. Neither one of those is a good option when in tight woods. ( the stock front bumber is now trashed!) I also have to learn to feather the clutch a little more. I stalled a couple of times and lost lots of time trying to get it re-started. Any tricks on the starting? I tried the hot start, neutral and whatever else I could think of. One time I had to use the choke and it fired right up???? Other times it just fired right back up with one kick. I think I want to keep the stock sprockets for now and just learn the clutch a little better. I also have Propegs on it and man are they worth the money. Bigger is better:devil:

James, you guys going to OHIO? Later

[250RXCrider]

Hey Doug I am glad to hear that you are getting some seat time on the 450R, as far as starting goes just make sure you do not touch the throttle when starting it and I always use the hot start. I also turned up my idle just a tad it seemed a bit low and after the quad would fire I would give it gas and then it would die. They start very well, I think it is just getting used to it.

I talked with Nick and Dan the other night and think we may go to Ohio. If we did go we would hit the road after work on Friday and camp out Friday night. Mapquest said it was 330 miles, so I guess it would take around 6 - 6.5 hours.

Are you planning on going?

[greghall]

Doug I don't know how you can even ride the thing with the stock gearing it suks bad till you get a 13T on the front,as for starting I never had a real proplem just remember NO GAS KEEP OFF THE THROTTLE,gear it down & I think it will act more like the 400 in the turns I have no proplem with it wheeling.

[greghall]

are you guys going to the outlaw XC race at Tomahawk on the 18th this month I heard thats a great seires?

did you read the tirade on the distrct 7 forum? what a joke.

[Ericthered rdr]

Hey Greg I am going to try to make it tonight. I will be working in DC and Virginia today on a speacial project for work and if I get done I am going to let the board know how we feel and belive me I owe these people nothing so they better not think I am going to sugar coat what I have to say. I have paid $150 into the ATVA and distric 7 this year between my boys and I. I want something in return besides a place to ride. Thats why I pay the facility the money I do to race. The district is really getting a bad name or should I say building on thier poor reputation. To hear that the MX side is even having probs just shows that the district is more about bikes. I am really considering District 6 so that my boys can race with me on the weekends. Distric 7 has nothing to offer the kids. I am about to buy Tommy a new quad so that he can race I am going to have to hit the PA series in order for him to run. The guys up in D-6 are very proactive in their approach to the HS series. If the D-7 reps want to step aside I will be happy to take over the position so that the series here can remain fun, competetive, and informed. I hope that the board will take what I have to say to heart, if not an e-mail to the president of the ATVA is in order.

[seatec]

Well, at least they kissed and made up at the end.:D

[Pappy]

i just think its a big joke. quads have NEVER gotton any respect in that district..NEVER! and then they air thier dirty laundry on that site. It was piss poor and made them look worse then they already are. D7 is all about the money and bike's. always have been, always will be.

[seatec]

Yeah well, the D6 is looking mighty good right now.
I just don't really understand what the big friggin deal is with these points. I might be missing something but if just 1 or 2 people would take care of the points and nothing else shouldnt it be up fast?

[Pappy]

i can see where the bike points can get confusing, but i didnt think carry over points and all that bs applied to the quads

Yes D-6 is looking good and it just might be where I race next season. I was very impressed with some of the thing I have heard from people that run that series. I did hear a couple of grumblings of points not getting updated but that was after one race not half the season:eek2:

[seatec]

i hear ya.

[cletusEX]

I think all you need to run a race anywhere is a AMA or ATVA card and any district card. If this is the case I will be getting a D-6 card next year even if I plan on racing some D-7 races for practice. I just don't want my money going to D-7 at all. My buddies and I are going to try and run the GNCC's. We won't hit them all but I think 10 or so are close enough. They are a lot more fun and there is actually some organization.

[Ericthered rdr]

I hope that next year I can find the time to run some of the GNCC races because they are a cool atmosphere to race in.

[YLW400]

It is very easy Seatec......take about 3 minutes literally......no tools either if I remember right...I think there are tabs on either side of the radio.....

[seatec]

cool thanx JC. i got this gadget that will allow me to plug my mp3 player into the aux of the radio so i don't have to farth around with the Fm modulator.

How was the track up at Tomahawk at the last race? If I don't make it to the GNCC I will probably be up there on Sunday. I couldn't find anyone to go with last time and I have a little bit of a crashing problem so it's always nice to have someone to drive home.:D Last time we went up there for practice a lot of the lips where rounded off and it made it hard to clear most of the jumps.

[YLW400]

No problem dude, did you get it out yet??

Cletus, the track wasn't in too bad of shape, did get a few bad ruts, and a couple of the turns get real slick..it is real hardpacked under there. It was incredibly dusty, did you see the pictures Pappy put up from there a few weeks ago? All of the jumps now are basically singles, so no need to worry about getting lift to clear the other ones.. If you have a crashing problem, you may want a DD then:p :D Hope to see you out there!! PM me if you are coming Cletus!

[seatec]

JC. not yet. am still at work and i think even i can't get my boss to overlook tinkering around with the truck during working hours.:D will try tonight.

A big *** thunderstorm just came thorugh here and flooded the hell out of Ashland road in Hunt Valley for anyone working around here. better take warren back to Bel AIr.

[250RXCrider]

Damn....looking at those D-7 points standing I should have kept the 250R.....oh well I guess that is what happens when only two quads show up to race 2 stroke class.:(

Cletus, the track wasn't in too bad of shape, did get a few bad ruts, and a couple of the turns get real slick..it is real hardpacked under there. It was incredibly dusty, did you see the pictures Pappy put up from there a few weeks ago? All of the jumps now are basically singles, so no need to worry about getting lift to clear the other ones.. If you have a crashing problem, you may want a DD then:p :D Hope to see you out there!! PM me if you are coming Cletus!

Yeah I was up there like 3 weeks ago riding and it was hardpacked and dusty. I was also there when pappy was taking those pictures (yellow 400ex). I don't know if I'll make it up there this weekend cause it looks like i will be going to Ohio for the GNCC, but i definitly want to get out there and race a little mx.

[YLW400]

Cool, good luck if you hit the GNCC!

Seatec, did you get the stereo out?

I need time to go fishing! I have been real busy with work. The reports that I have been getting on local striper fishing sucks! I am taking the boat out this weekend to Fairlee Creek so the kids can play and I can relax. As soon as the report gets better I am gonna give it a try. White perch fishing is even off. With the price of fuel I am not running my boat down south to catch some small stripers. My boat burns 18 gallons of gas an hour @ $2.49 a gallon on the water. Just to run down to the gooses and back would be a $200 trip. :huh :eek2: Damn twin 350's are hungry!

[seatec]

Eric, thanx for the offer. better belive that when i run into trouble that i will call you. The cab lights are ona nd looking good. scared the sh$t out of me when i drilled that first hole but got better from there.

I am trying to see if I can get into a new truck right now but trade in on my car is terrible! Anybody want to buy a nice '00 Grand Am GT with only 40,000 miles I want 9,500 for it! New tires and handles like a Ferrari.

[YLW400]

Hey, Chugging brew is MUCH more important then a damn radio!! I'm glad to see you have priorities!! :D

Eric, say hi to the honey's at Jellyfish Joel's for me. Its been a while since I've been down that way:devil:

Greg or James, have you guys had any trouble starting your 450's after being stood up on end to clean the bottom? I had to kick my friggin leg off b4 it would start. Should I give it gas or are they easily flooded? I am going to turn up the idle and use the hot start, like you said James. Hopefully that will help if I stall on the track.

Nick when are you guys leaving for Ohio? I am not going....as of now....but I have been known to change my mind quite suddenly. If I do, I will be alone and would like to hook up with you guys, atleast for the long drive out there. I have a tent that goes in the bed of the truck or I can stay in the trailer if the weather gets too bad. Oh NOOOO .......My mind is starting to change already:D

I know my brother has had a hard time starting his when it has been standing on end. Just don't do it before a race.:D I think we are leaving the Frederick area around 5:30 tomorrow afternoon. If you decide to go give me a call at 301-602-2023. If we can't meet up on the road we'll let you know where we are parked and I'm sure we can leave together on Sat. It's always nice to have another vehicle with you on the road.

I am sure we can figure that out. Probly steaks on the grille and beers in the cooler:D

It looks like I am boating both days this weekend. The weather is too good to pass on and I haven't been on the boat much.

Greg the fishing report has exploded this week. It's definately on out there. Now all I need is time to get out there.

[Ericthered rdr]

Funny thing I am most likely going to buy the same truck this week. How are the trannies in them now? I test drove one last week and was blown away at how powerful it was.

[cletusEX]

How many of you all are going to the Oakland race? Is anybody racing the Koontz race at Tomahawk next week? Oh yeah and powerstrokes are the only way to go for diesels!:D

There were a few guys that camped up there last year. The parking lot is a huge field, so there are plenty of places to camp. I don't know how late people are there sat to let you in or if you can just drive in at any time.

[greghall]

The new HO Dodge turbo diesel is the $hit inside & out let me know Eric I may be able to hook you up with a deal from my work.Man Richies truck is nice he likes it way better than the Fords that he has at work,he drives a brand new ford work truck.Hey guys I hope you had fun at the GNCC I see that Brian & James did really well.

[250RXCrider]

Greg,

The GNCC in Ohio was a sweet track. Lots of fresh cut technical trails and some nice wide open sections and a pretty easy MX track. Thank god there were no rocks.

[250rmike]

well just got some time to sit down. went to easton today to ride the dale for the first time and all i got to say is wow. im not sold on the reliability of the motor but i am on the power. and im never going back to standard travel shocks again:devil: long travel for me from not on. now just to get some new front tires. anyone wanna ride on a mx track next sunday i need more seat time:D

Sounds like you went from one quad in pieces to a couple decked out machines.:)

[250RXCrider]

Cletus...did you all wash quads today

[250rmike]

haha and i might have the z sold. wait the z isnt decked out but the cannible is. thats pretty much how itsgone. blew the motor in the 250r in january bought the z in june then bought the cdale 2 nights ago. need to buy a few little things for it like front tires and grips but other than that its good to go. heres what its got on it: hmf pipe, houser long travel a-arms elka quad rate front shocks, houser chrome steering stem, renthals, lonestar axle, nerfs beadlocks all around holeshots all around steel braided front lines, w.e.r steering stabilizer. i think thats all

[cletusEX]

Originally posted by 250RXCrider

yeah we washed them and i think i may have figured out the rear brakeline problem i've been having. It's the airbox that is braking the line, so i'm gonna order a +2 brakeline and run it a different way.

I'll take a look at what kind of deal you can get! I do get a good rate because Nextel has an employee purchase program from Chrysler and from what I was told the only better deal is for Chrysler employee's. I want a silver 2500 quadcab Laramie but I can't find any in stock. I test drove the SLT with the HO Cummins and was very impressed. Greg I need to talk to you about my van, I'd like to drop it off to you this week if possible.

[400exvet]

congrats Brian on your wood:macho....looks like Dan had some bad luck on the 3rd lap. Nick you were pretty consistant...just need a little more time and endurance......maybe less alcohol the night before?????I'm sure that wasn't a factor...was it? j.k.:p thanks for the thought of trying to hook up for the ride out to ohio. I just couldn't get all the planets to align in time to go. James, I didn't get to check on you but it sounds like you did well also:macho

is Oakland a points race for us? the schedule from the dis 7 web site shows it as points for MC but not quads. I hope not cuz I'll be camping that weekend and I don't want you guys to get too far ahead of me :D

Eric, do your eyes hurt from the bikinis you had to keep an eye on over the weekend?

CHEVY IS THE ONLY REAL TRUCK..GAS or DIESEL..period:blah:

[greghall]

Doyg it is a points race from th elist I have that Karen gave out,That's the only reason I'm going all the way up there:grr: and we also race at 11:00 am before the bike so it will be a early day!

[400exvet]

Has there been a change in the Dist 7 Harescramble Points race schedule that is posted on the web site? Maybe they sent it in the mail and I misplaced it! Can you please post what Karen gave you so the rest of us can keep up with the changes? thanks

I went to Worton Creek instead. Fairlee was packed and I wanted to just get away from people for awhile. I anchored up inside along the beach so the kids could swim and I blasted the stereo and worked on my suntan for Jamacia in August. Oh and I agree that Chevy is the chit but I get really good deals through Chrysler and the Dodge truck is awsome looking. I don't like the new fronts on the Chevy. Fords are nice too but I had one at work and they just don't hold up.
Hey Seatec What are some good Diesel web sites? Oh and I got a power washer too. Do you still need that painting done? I have a ladder that will reach your roof.

Thanks for the info. I picked up one on tues for my son. Pretty sweet, black fenders, fmf pipe, R&D components front forks and rear suspension, renthal bars, moserberger reed cages, ported, etc. Josh told me they had one when I called on weds, figures already bought one......oh well. He gave me some Mid Atlantic fender decals the kid loved them! I appreciate you letting me know none the less though.

i work at a ford dealership and on all used cars we get them for 100$ over what they payed for trade in. and we get a good discount on new ones too. not exactly sure what new is but im thinking of getting a f250 or 350 6.0 powerstroke:)

No, I usually run better when I go out the night before.:D I actually lost my rear brakes on the first lap so the whole race I was just keeping a nice steady pace. This track had a lot of short straights and then 90 degree turns so i didn't have the braking power to really put the hammer down. I'm actually pretty quick when I do get on it but it's hard for me to keep up a fast pace. I usually lose my concentration and end up off the trail or on my side. I think as I gain more experience it'll work itself out. Anyone thinking of running the Koontz race at Tomahawk on Sun? I would like to race mx there on Sat and then hit the HS on Sunday but we'll see what happens.

Brian and I battled back and forth a couple of times, but he got me at the end.....those YFZ's haul ***** and he is pretty good on the MX track. Nick gets the hard luck award, but I think is is going to come back with a vengence now....... Hey how is the 450R working out and if you need any tips shoot me an email and I will fill you in on all the 450R secrets j/k Well I am sure we will catch up at the next district race.

[Ericthered rdr]

What is the game plan for Oakland who is going?
Does any one plan on camping there or nearby?
I want to head up on Sat and stay at the track if possible. Let's try to get something going for this one. It sound like this is a cool race track. Hey RTSE440 that shoulder of yours should be ready to go! You in for this one????

[seatec]

actually. RTSE440 and i will be riding at his place on Sunday. I havent sat on a quad for 2 1/2 months but have no flipping time. YOu need to let me knwo when i can get you on teh Roof eric. Ill have the paint soon enough. i guess i coud do the parts i can get to and jjst wait for you. Might be the msartest thing to do.

[250rmike]

whats up in oakland? the only day i can ride in sunday though gotta work saturday.

[Ericthered rdr]

It is a D-7 Hare Scramble race. Quads run at 11:00 am

Seatec Thursday evening might be a real good time for me to do that painting for you. Are you gonna race on the 25th? I am going to take my camper if people want to camp. I have room for 6. I also have an 8 man tent. If any body needs a tent.

[400exvet]

Nick, I didn't mean to sound like I was bustin on your riding skills. I just meant that I think you don't have the years of experience that some do. (although, that experience doesn't always help either :D ) For me, my riding skill is a little above my thinking skills. Which is why I like the challenge of cross country racing. Not only do you have to ride fast, you have to know how to make that split second decision needed to either get between a slower rider and a tree, not get stuck behind a rider that gets stuck, or not get caught up in a bottle neck. Luck is also a big part of this mix! I don't know how many times I should have went the other way or just waited....instead I ended up on my head or in a freekin mud pit up to my a-hole. I know alot of people that would have quit that race with no rear brakes.....I'm probably one of them;)

JP, you don't know how bad I wanted to be there! The 450 is ready to race:macho. The EX is officially retired and for sale. I am slowly getting used to the power and weight difference from the EX. Can you tell me again where you got your hood? I think I am going to drill holes in the hood to put the temp. light and the key. Do you turn off your gas when you stand it up to clean the underneath? I do and I have a hell of a time getting it started again after that. I hope to be at the district 7, Rocket Raceway race on 8/1. I can't make the Oakland race. I still haven't figured out if Oakland is a points race or not:confused: I don't think it is.

[greghall]

It is a points race that's why I'm going.I'll be there so will Richie.450R's are ready to go but I'm not:eek2:

[cletusEX]

Doug, I didn't take it that way at all. I knew what you were talking about and totally agree with you. I have plenty still to learn. So the 400ex is retired. Man I'm the last of a dying breed.:D I do have to admit that new all black 450R is looking might good.:blah:

Eric, let me know if your definitly going up on Sat. I think a little camping would be a good time.

[250RXCrider]

Doug....I sent you a PM with my number. I can more easliy explain the stuff I have done to my 450 vs. typing it out with my "peck and hunt" typing skills.

Hey y'all I am in the process of getting some atv cross country racing graphics designed for the truck and trailer. Would any of you be interested in purchasing some for your truck windows or trailers? I can get em in all different sizes. They are the outline style of graphics which I am getting white to go on the black trailer and the trucks tinted windows. It shows two atv's racing through a creek, one is jumping over a log and there is like a pine tree hill background. They are around 30$ for a 22 x 15 and 60$ for a 48 x 34. I can also get single XC atv's with names and numbers. I'm thinking maybe they would be cheaper if I buy more of them. I have a .jpg of a draft but I don't know how to get it on here. Later Doug

I can also get single XC atv's with names and numbers. I'm thinking maybe they would be cheaper if I buy more of them. I have a .jpg of a draft but I don't know how to get it on here. Later Doug

Looks cool but I no longer ride red. Any that just say ATV Cross Country?

You know guys, there is a MX race at Budds on the 25th...anyone interested??? Seatec??

Man, i am tempted but i hear some of the jumps are hard to roll. that true?

[400exvet]

they already have ones for MX. I have just never found one for XC.

eric, Its all in pieces so you can get any MFG to replace the HONDA.

[YLW400]

Cool, thanks Vet!!!


no way Seatec......I think the jumps here are more safe than the ones at Easton!! They are are rollable!! Plus the track is fun as hell

[seatec]

hmmm 25th huh? damn man. that sounds appealing. YOur gonna have to show me the ropes though.

[YLW400]

Yup, the 25th! WHo is going to show me the ropes? lol I can help get you all signed up and all of that stuff anyway.....

[seatec]

cool. i better get my YFZ in mx trim and take those dirisi's off asap.

i better put my stock gearing back on as well. dont think a 13 would do to well at budds.

[cletusEX]

I would be at Budds but there is an XC race in Oakland I might go too. Budds is closer though and I just bought a whole set of mx tires, so I might think about it. I definitly wanna hit some mx races and Budds is an awesome track. Some of the HS at budds have incorporated the mx track and it is a blast even if you don't hit all the jumps.

Doug those graphics look awesome. I might be interested in some for our trailer. They might help hide some of the scratches.

[YLW400]

You have 2 weeks Seatec....but if you want, I thinkI may be riding in Delaware this weekend at Seaford...awesome track by the way, if you wanna slide over!

Cletus, if you bought those tires, you should either put them to use, or give them to me :o :p :D

[250RXCrider]

Yeah I ran it out to the side cause it was my airbox hitting the metal part of the line where it mounts to the caliper. It should work. I hope. I had Eric order me a set of Kenda mx tires. For all four tires and a set of stock rear rims it was $220. I didn't think that was too bad. I'm almost as bad as Brian when it comes to money.:D I still have to get a new exhaust but I don;t think i can run a HMF full system so I might just get another slip-on.

I took the kids and some friends on Sunday, about 12 of us total. We rode for 4 hours and no sign of the law. I would say there was at least 35-40 people up there and nobody even mentioned that the place was hot. It was so dusty there that I am still coughing up dust balls.

That sucks man. I don't remember if I'm running a cometic or stock. I got the thinest one they had to boost the compression a little more.

[cletusEX]

Originally posted by 250RXCrider

No but everyone I talked to said it sticks out a little more but it should be fine on a stock frame. I'm almost touching with the stock header so unless the HMF is less it's not going to work.

Hell a slip on will save you money anyway and the performance may not be that different. Aything should be better then that hack'd off T-4.

[Pappy]

[250rmike]

Don't tell me he got stuck repacking his can at a GNCC?!??! I read that almost all of the people that had that done didn't change the sound levels to within specs (104db)

[seatec]

eric no go on the painting. wood stillwet from rain. feel free to drop by anyway dude.

[Ericthered rdr]

I just might do that. I am getting ready to go back into work to do some upgrades to some of my sites. I'll give you a call tommorrow.

Yeah the funny thing is my exhaust went from a 107 to a 101. The packing in the can wasn't bad at all. there is no way that it dropped 6 decibels. Thats like 4 times as quiet. The sound check is a f-ing joke. I talked to people who didn't pass then went and bought the packing and got the sticker and never put it in and went back and passed. I've been wanting to get a new slip on so it's not that big a deal.

[Honda5]

whats up guys we are still here over at D&B Ranch just been busy as $hit with racing,camping and work. I have been looking at the thread every othrr day or so.
Got a friend looking for a quad to race next year won't have money to buy for a couple of months(new house) he might wait til end of the race season.
Don't think I'm going to run the Delmarva series next year, the guy at Blue Diamond is being a real prick to me and the rest of the quad riders.(I might do D-7 mx? xc?)

[YLW400]

Hey Honda, I may know where a VERY nice EX is...low hours, Axis shocks (front and rear), LSR axle, holeshots....very nice quad....Get up with me if they may be interested.... J.C.

WHat the hell happened to your furniture Seatec??

Hey, to whomever has the hacked off T-4, props to ya' :o I also have one :D I do like it actually, mine is about 8" long. I have seen NO power increase either..with that and a HRC cam, I have yet to be pulled on a uphill in a race...I never gain any ground, but there are no YZF's smoking me either...


Mike, this is a D-7 points race at Budds next weekend

[Delaware152]

Honda5...I agree with you about the owner of Blue Diamond. I know he hates quads and he's not getting any money from me. I am going to Seaford this weekend. How about you YLW400?

[seatec]

J.C. my furniture went with my ex-Girl friend. Townhome look much bigger now thats it virtually empty.

So JC. you gonna buy a new quad then when you seel yours?:D

[YLW400]

As far as I know Delaware...if I can kick my company out early enough Sunday, I'll be there!!

Ohhh, one of those Seatec..sorry about that, didn;t know, or I wouldn't of opened my big mouth!! No man, this isn't my quad I am trying to sell, this one is much nicer than mine....lol

[seatec]

hey, no worries man. not heartbroken about it or anything. Best thing for the both of us.

about that YFZ not outrunning you. you so full of it.:D :devil:

[YLW400]

the ol' 400EX must of been doing something right, it went from last place to 2nd place, all up on a YZ's arse :eek: :D

[seatec]

Hey when do you leave for mi****agan? I am really looking forward at a chance to make it back over the bridge but time.....I just can't find any. When I grow up I hope life is just a little slower. You and Becky sould start running the XC races!

JC I hear you about smokin the YFZ's I waste a ton of them every start. I have pulled second twice (once behind another Z and another behind a YFZ that I let pass because I was not familiar to the track and figured it was safer to follow) LMAO I bet Seatec is saying Yeah right MFer! I would have a YFZ in the garage right now if it had reverse. I use the $hit out of mine because I can't figure out how to stay on the track:huh

[seatec]
