Round 3: Lake Havasu

[adrenalinefreak]

I had no idea it was sand...do people run their paddle tires? Sorry if dumb question but I hear said and think Paddle tires.

Probably not.

I need tires really bad!! Trying to work it out to where I can get some before the race. Mine are the stock tires I got with it a year and a half ago. Half a cm from begin bald.

Looks like if I do get a set of rear tires its going to be the itp holeshot because they are the only ones at work that will fit my wheel.

Thanks Dkelley

Do they do sales down there for the tires?

Do they mount them there for you?

I may just end up getting the holeshots here at work...wanted the Maxxis Razr2 for the rear but it doesn't look like its going to work out that way!

What tires do you recommend for the front and rear? I've heard some people who run different styles in the front than they do in the rear...

I just want a tire that is going to add to my bite and ability to move on the track...obviously any knubby tire at this point is going to be an improvement!

But which is the best setup for worcs races? Since I plan on doing at least 4 of their races I figure I should gear my bike towards what I need for them.

I will be racing the Womens B/C class on Saturday at 3pm. My number is 143. Bright yellow 400ex. I'm pretty sure I am going to get my butt kicked on the endurance part but bring it on. I had a blast out at Adelanto.

My wife and I will be there. We missed Taft because of work and mechanical problems, but I definitely want to hit this one. I think we're going to stay at Crazy Horse campgrounds. I'll be racing a red 416ex, #46.

well havasu is sand but it's not like real fine sand it's rocky thicker desert type sand, but it gets rough real quick, also for tires since WORCS has the Maixxis contigency you should run their itres, plus they look good and last a pretty much a season of WORCS races, this is my 2nd season on my fronts. I run 21' RAZR2 on the front and 20' RAZR 6 plys on the rear and this set-up works good and is used my most GNCC and WORCS pro's who run Maxxis, you can buy and mount tires at the track now that Maxxis will be there.

I am pretty sure I am giong to buy the tires there, but I am skeptical as to whether or not they charge more at the track. The dilemma for me is I can get them for a pretty good price from work but I have to order them from Parts Unlimited and that means they will not be here for the race...

Do you know how much they usually go for out at the track? Oh well...I guess...

I'm probably just going to get the rears for now anyway...I'll order the fronts after the race, unless I get one hell of a deal out there!

welp see everybody saturday good luck, drive safe!!!

[adrenalinefreak]

I am pretty upset at the events from today.

Thanks to Mapquest we went an hour and a half past where we should have and also some other bad directions.

To cut a very long story short I missed my race. I pulled up at 3:07pm but wait it gets better..it was actually 4:07pm ( time difference, even our GPS said 3:07pm) So I missed my race...

I was really upset...I'd been looking forward to it for awhile! Definitely one of the worst days...nothing went right!

I hope you all had better luck than me....

I'm going to be at race town...I just wish it wasn't so far away...

I also got new tires for the race...ended up going with the ITP Holeshot...and Carter Powersports picked me up for sponsorship...

Well, we just got back a little while ago. The racing was pretty sweet, but it was COLD on Saturday! The track was a lot of fun. It was rough, but not too bad. I liked the desert part, but the motocross part was too short. There were pretty much no good jumps. I did pretty well; second in Production B, so I'm happy about that. I thought I was in the lead, but I found out later that I was in second by almost two minutes! Oh, well, I still had a great time.

yeah I had a blast, I was running in 4th in Open A and moved into 3rd and one of the slower Duncan pros I caught up to knocked me into a tree, so that screwed up my finish from 3rd to 8th which was a bummer. On Sunday in my 15-29 A sport race though I was feeling good, got a bad start like usual and was last out of the A riders, but in the end I passed all of them and ended up 1st overall, I even passed up the 30+ A guys who started the row in front of me, I was just feeling good and never let up, plus my quad was woriking so good, it was a fun weekend!
