It was only like twice!:D I was just checking how fast I had to ride in order to stay in front of him, didn't want to wear myself out in that long 1 hour race.Quote:

here is the woods section video. sorry its all fromthe same spot but i wasn't behind the camera.
ignore all the talking from the lil kid too. he never shuts up.
isn't it amazing how much faster borich comes thru that section then the other racers...note that was the last lap too.

did you notice how all the 450Rs were up front except fot the craptor. that says something. that is hwy honda doesn't need to be part og the gncc. just look at the following.(another thread) :devil:
you are soooo right !! I bang the rev limiter like a prom queen,I aint ashamed !!maybe thats why some people bust through the turns while others are fumbling the shifter and the clutch getting passed in the corners remember any body can ride fast on a straight away but you win races in the corners!!:DQuote:

thanks gbcap now thats entertainment!!!Quote:

my riding style is to use torque to get out of corners rather than rev, i find that the quad hooks up better. i rarely use clutch

don't know yet...if i get this dirtbike i want i think im gonna try the b and c class...if i don't then i dunno what im donna be running beings that i got a stock 400ex
if you have a machine that is more torquey, then using torgue is better. my quad works better on the torque curve than it does if i rev it too the moon. if i had it tuned for all top, then i would rev it too...but torque puts the power to the ground better. i don't usually run mine past 6000 - 7000 RPMs
I have 450 r that has a stock motor except a fat boy 4 and a 180 main jet 'I could throw in a hrc cam and find the next gear but when you start tinkering with the engine you end up with issues! I found that the stock 450 engine has plenty of power for xc racing. You have to remember that most of the racing is in the woods so on behalf of the people racing that particular race, most never seen a motorcross track and don't know how to jump but they will tear it up in the woods, I know that for sure. Just look at Mike Kyte for instance I can smoke him on the mx track but the woods is an entirely different ball game .Quote:
