Budds Creek National..

[YamaWarr0121]

Who all is going to attend this? how early do you guys get there and what is going down. This'll be my first national ever and want ot make reservatiosn for hotels this week for then. The race is on APril 17/18 , so when should you get there? two days before? like thursday night? that's what ive herad. What is you guys' input, where do you guys stay thats close by?

[mxraptor71]

I think most people would show up on Friday morning, unless their coming from across the country.

[ex kid]

im goin to watch.

[EX 80]

I'm also interested in finding out more about this national. I have only been to the southwick national, and want to try this one out.

[seatec]

Dont they have like a Harescramble on saturday and the nationals on sunday? a friend of mine usually goes and make a long wekend out of it.

[YLW400]

I don't know if they do or not Seatec, I know that would make for some serious confusion down there though...lol

I might even race it this year if everything goes well..

[seatec]

Hey im in too. i am sorry i actually didnt do the Hangover. am still kicking myself over that one. i heard it was serious fun and the mx part was perfectly groomed.:mad:

[YLW400]

Your going to run the national MX?? What class? Don't bring that Yammie into C class, I don't want to get roosted on:mad: lol

[seatec]

NOOOOO, i am not running MX. wadda ya crazy???? i might do part of an mx track as part of a HS but not solely MX.
I was referring to the HS the day before. They did the have the HS the day before the ATV Nationals last year.

[YLW400]

Ahhhh come on!! You can run MX!
I gotcha...I didn't go until Sunday last year...I am not sure who you could call to find out if they are doing that again or not...You might be able to call the track and find out..possibly..

[seatec]

No NO, no mx'ing for me. I'd be a liability for everyone out there. PLus i've seen lotsa "look at that idiot" videos on here. DOnt want to be one of them:D

I probably call my buddy who always races the HS before nationals and see if they do it this year. WIll let you know if you want.

[450Rrider#26]

buddscreek is sick im going to the national if i have my 450 in time

[YLW400]

No thanks, I would be a liability on the Hare Scramble track if I ran one of those..lol Too many trees on the track for me:D

[kevsracin]

I live an hour and a half away from budds and i usually get there thursday morning to get a good spot. i try to set up close to the track because they dont let you ride pit-bikes there. you can always drop your trailor off and come back too.

[racerx573]

We try and get to races Thurs evening/nite, so we have time to get a good spot, and set up shop.

If you live within 6 hours of Budd's they're racing every weekend in Feb.

I'll be at the GNC racing 250 and Open B #73 on Laeger 250R's.

Well probably get there thursday night or early friday morning.....

[gibson400ex]

we are going i think.

we will stay in our trailer.

[MrP]

I will be there. We usually get to a National on Thursday so we can have time to settle in and get everything ready. As far as hotel reservations we get all of them before the season starts. We even went ahead and booked reservations at Lorreta's a week after last years Lorreta's National.

Tod - Do you know is terry racing still has the 2001 leager protrax 250r?

if they do i am very intersted.


Let me know a.s.a.p and e-mail me at gibson400ex@aol.com or pm me if they still have it for sale.... thank you

[MrP]

gibson400ex- Yea I will be at Southwick. Im not really sure if Terry still has the Laeger or not. I think he is on his way back form Texas right now but I will find out if he still has it or not. I know where there is an 01 Walsh 250r for sale though. I also know where there is an LRD 250r that is a good deal. Both of them have powervaleved motors and they are both under $7000.

Can everyone that's racing post a pic of themselves and quad?? Or something like that..It sounds like there are going to be quite a few of us from here out there this weekend. IT would be cool to meet up with a few of you guys.

[mxraptor71]

are they really that stricy about having a pit bike to get to and from, or is the rule just to keep people spectators from bringing in quads and cruising all day.

[dawzie]

they are really that strict, they warned everybody on Saturday and on Sunday they DQ'ed two riders that I saw !!
