i was the guy that had the holeshot and the A class. I went the wrong way off the start and everybody followed me. By the time I got into the woods on the right track the whole B class was in front of me.

That was my first time at that track, and I was impressed with the XC track too. I plan to make a couple races this year too. Maybe I'll see you there!:cool:

:eek: Oh, I thought that was damage from R&D the way everyone was looking at it. I didn't race yesterday, but was planning to go to one there this season. Was the course markings tough to follow? I saw the trouble at the start, and wondered if it was the same through the entire course.

A little off topic, but I was talking to a guy there yesterday about YFZ battery options for Crazy Honda, He said the was a 9 amp battery alternative that had more cranking amps than the GSX 10 amp battery. You have any insight on this?:confused:

Yea, I remember yunz guys. Is the cast a result of a quad mishap? Hope not. I want to get in front of the camera maybe next week. Time and $$ will tell.:cool:

Yeah we have new batterys in our quads. That might have been my dad that you were talking too. PM me and ill give ya the info on these batterys. Went ffrom 85CCAs to 235. So this thing should def. start up pretty dang quick, and i shouldnt have to worry it dieing on me either.
