Round 2 Racetown 395

**GWTT** · 02-02-2009, 10:21 AM

Well round 1 was awesome. Hope round 2 goes just as well. Went to Racetown this past weekend and practiced on the vet track. quads are not allowed to be on the main unless a big series is racing. There is a larger step up that will be intimidating but other then that, the mx section looks to be very nice and not over anyone's skill level. the desert section is very very sandy and whooped out already from district 37 grand prix. We are lucky to have our race weekend after the desert viper's famous Adelanto Grand prix. Adelanto triples in size for that weekend and there is only literally one way in/out. it sucks trying to get out of there. but is a fun but dangerous race. poorly supervised. saw a bad wreck due to people crossing the track.... there are a few gas stations (one with diesel) near the track. Adelanto is a very small city so dont expect to get supplies there. You will most likely need to go to victorville about as 20 minute drive one way. Be prepaird for all conditions. its known to snow at racetown (did a few weeks ago) very cold at nights and can be hot in the days. If your coming from out of state, the devore race (round 7) Is only another 40 minutes if that to Glen Helen and if you live where every part or gear you buy has to be ordered. you may want to drive down to Chaparrel. its literally 5 minutes past the Glen Helen off ramp. I live 1.5 hrs away from racetown and 45 minutes from Glen Helen. Hoping that gives me somewhat of an advantage over the rest (ya right!) I need to practice my starts! im horrible, stalled in open B and Came off last in Sport B. but i finished well. Triumph is also close by so they will be able to help with parts. good luck and hope to see everyone who made round 1 and those who will be making round 2 as round 1 for them.

Yeah I love the Racetown WORCS event. The motocross track there is always a blast and the big step up is super fun you just have to commit! haha but yeah the back section is sandy and gets pretty well beat up but that's part of why I like it, the technical rough tracks are always good for me, anyways I'm excited to see everyone out there and see how I'll do, hopefully better than Phoenix, that two hour+ main took me 2hours and 18 minutes, was super beat so I'll get myself in better shape, should be awesome though.

I was tired from watching for 2 hour, LOL. I'm just hoping to finish my 40c race without the arm pump taking over. It was miserable.

Went to Racetown today for a final run before the track gets shut down for the bikes and quads. Rode the vet track again which is somewhat like the main but much smaller and less maintained. My friend and I decided to go outside the mx track and ride the desert section trails. As were riding multiple bikes (not quads) blow by us like standing still. My friend and I are equal skill level (B) and made us look like we were standing still. turns out it was the Honda WORCS bike team. #1 plate. dont follow the bikes to much but they were hauling. The desert section even with the rain and snow yesterday, still was whooped OUT! Alot of the whoop faces were at some points a ft tall and the breaking bumps were ridiculous! good practice though. we came back into the track and saw a guy airing it big on the vet step up #3 Honda quad, Beau Baron. He made the trip 5 hrs to do a little practice. Asked him if he had pre ran any of the desert sections. He didnt know you could. So he and I went out and rode for awhile. The desert is Blm land. Man, he is stupid fast! I did 4 laps and he was on his fifth and just seconds of lapping me. He was even riding on a stock axle since he snapped his at pismo few days before he said. then we saw life flight and decided to cruise back to the track make sure our friends were ok which they were thank god. poor kid ate it on the step up. It was a good day at the track. be prepaired for mud or snow. very cold up there! Hope to see you guys there.

Are you guys going to make it to this one? Can't remember if you said you were or not.

Hopefully do better this round. I've atually been riding a couple times and starting to get used to the thumb throttle...just gonna stick with it instead of replacing my twist.

Trying to talk Carter into getting me the Quadtech seat instead of replacing my Flexxbars that got stolen...would love a softer seat than the brick i'm on now...hehe we'll see

No, we had hoped to but were still trying to get settled at home from the move and money is just too tight right now .

We def. wont be into anything for the points this season after missing two rounds.

Quad Junkies, sorry to miss you at round 2 as well. You have given WORCS alot of viewing. (I read all your stuff as a snooper when i wasnt on the site

) But didnt you recently buy a new house? Im 24 and next yr probably wont be racing due to the poor economy and I want to be able to afford my own place. cant afford to go racing and live decent right now. SO this season Im giving it all I got!

Actually, we were selling our house and got an offer,so we needed to move quickly,we just got a rental for now until we see if a transfer late in the year will bring us closer South where we want to move.
I cant believe how much crap you accumulate over 10 years in a home .

lol
We are officially out as of today-YAY!!

Thank you GWTT, I appreciate that, that was my goal and hoped that somehow I made a difference in getting the series and the riders the exposure it so much deserves.
We will be back, its all just crap timing right now

MY kids are pretty bummed, but they understand I think for the most part.We miss everyone alot.

Tina,

I'm sure I can speak for many in saying you were missed at round one and will be missed in Rd2. You do excellent coverage for this series.
