    Wide Iowa tracks

    Hey all you IA racers,

    I am going to attempt to make it to a IA race this year and I have a concern.

    Are there any tracks that would be more friendly to a MXer going out and having fun? My bike is about 50" wide, what tracks would you guys recommend? I talked to Stumpleg the other night about this already.

    Thanks in advance,
    Cha cha cha chino

    At 50 inches, every track will have a couple spots that would be real tight, but most of the time, there is an alternate way through those areas. There have been a few 50" quads race some races and all seemed to do ok. I would say Decatur City would be a great one as it has alot of open field sections, and seemed fairly wide throughout. Plus it will be the closest for you. I guarantee you will absolutely LOVE it and want to come back for more. Best series in the country for XC racing.

    You'll probably be alright with your wide a arms, but I would suggestgetting some 4-1 offset wheels.

    Well, I have the stock a-arms still but I don't have any shocks to run them with..........

    I really want to run an IA race this year!

    I think it will show me how bad of shape I am really in!

    The only tracks I would suggest 50" at would be Ft Dodge or Waukon

    I agree w/ Colby on Ft Dodge, never been to waukon, but I think other than a couple spots, Decatur would be ok. Just thought since it was so close to you it would be a good one to try. And yes, Colby will be at every race getting showed up by his wife LOL!

    You'll fit but the course is going to get rutted at about 47 to 48" and you will be fighting the ruts all day!
