Racing @ Hendry Co. Speedway

[fastrthanu25]

hey guys, much rather give pointers to someone willing to listen than to watch some one eat the wall [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif]

[tat2mike]

yeah it kinda looks like walls are easy to eat there arent they? lol

[tat2mike]

im gonna bring a camera on the 27th get some pictures of you guys racing and post them up here in the phot section maybe attract some more riders see if i can bring the digital camcorder too try and get some movies posted up

[no.9_no.9_no.9]

lets be careful there tecate mike . we encourage the idea of more riders as long as they understand that this is a event that requires skill and a level head . a loose cannon on the track can and has proven to be a hazard to themselves as well as to fellow racers. competion is an incredable rush but hospitalization is a bummer . we all want to drive home after the race ,not be driven somewhere else by somebody else.now that i have said that ,lets get to the track ,drop the flag and turn left to the fourth power. WFO

[tat2mike]

damn im gettin run off the track and havent been on it yet

I don't want to send out the wrong message so let me say first there is no rush like circle track on these quads. I have watched two different guys hit the wall and get carried off the track and one that broke his collar bone entering the pits at thunder cross. I personally hit the wall coming out of turn 2  a month ago. I tumbled down the straightaway at 45 mph in practice. ive seen guys spin out and get hit head on and ive been hit head on.ive won races that i shouldn't have and ive lost races i should have won. I would not trade my flat track bike for a full mx sponsored  ride. It takes a speacial breed to enjoy this sport and we have some really clean tight racing at our track and i thank all involved. P.S. catch me if you can I'll be racing my a$$ of on the 27th!

tecatemike ,you may have misunderstood or i may have said it wrong, all i am concerned about is safe ,fun ,competative racing, in the past we have had a few riders over ride their ability the first night out trying to show their friends that they are better than the others,but wind up kissing concrete. we want more riders,we need more riders,but we dont want to end up being uninvited as in the past at a previous track do to accidents and injuries such as one of my own upside down still on the seat inturn 2 flying through the air. lets ride smart safe and then wide open

[tat2mike]

i was just jokin around no9 actually im gettin to old to be hot doggin it ,when i say get more people im just lookin at florida as a whole there is no tt or short track series for quads i think it would be cool to spread the sport across the state
  i always liked flat track and when i saw all you guys racing last saturday looked like it was competative and all in good fun i talked to a few of you after the race and you were all informative and a good group of guys  looks like i found some racin to be part of

[17_UP_FRONT]

GO AS FAST AS YOU CAN THEN GIVE IT GAS. [smiley=Wacko.gif] OR GET PASSED
IF IT WASNT FUN WE WOULDNT DO IT
ITS AS SAFE AS TAKEING A SHOWER?

I respect all the vet's that race a HCS. This will be my second season or call it my 12th race. To here that comming from my fellow riders such as #17 , #9, and 2fast just earn's even more respect.  [smiley=Clap.gif]  When you beat those guy's it feals great because ther some of the best quad racer's you'll ever race against. It took me 1 time racing out there and I was hooked and 2fast is right when he said would'nt trade it for nothing.Great post's by all. Can't weight till 3/27/04!!!  [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif]  

[450R_Matt]

I'll let the cat out of the bag Mike. Thats my head all swollen up after my victory on 3/13/04 The reply from 17 UP FRONT.  LOL  

[no.9_no.9_no.9]

[fastrthanu25]

    hey guys just want to through my two cents in there.me and a couple of the others have waited 2 or 3 good years to find a place to flatt track between here and thundercross.I've seen quite a bit in the little time i've been on the track and would'nt trade it for the world.


drive fast turn left    oh only hit the brakes if your scaaeeerd

[fastrthanu25]

hey no.9 are you having hot flashes yet,you must be jonezin for some left turns

[no.9_no.9_no.9]

I feel the need ,I feel the need ,Ifeel the need for speed

[fastrthanu25]

well its good to see your still alive cant wait to get sideways next to ya on the 27th

[fastrthanu25]

hey tecatemike sounds like you got a good head on your shoulders and would be alot of fun to race with. looking foward to smokin a cow out there

[tat2mike]

yeah i been wantin to flat track for a long time when i came across this thread i was pretty amped up i flew up to clewiston in my car  "bout an hour" and caught the last race when i talked to a few of you guys after i was hooked so hopefully in the next 2 ill be up and runnin but next saturday ill be up to watch and hang out for a lil while afterwards

[fastrthanu25]

i dont think it would be a bad idea to throw some pictures and maybe a short video on the site.It would show what we're all about at HCS,even if it did attract more riders to the track.Someone at the track always techs the bike and the rider before each race to decide whether or not they can race.Remember a rookie is a rookie because he does not know how to race.they can only get better with laps,and if that does not prove to be the case then they should be shoved off the track.  [smiley=Approve.gif]

[tat2mike]

right i mean im a rookie and i dont plan on trying to be competative with front runners until i get the hang of it all and some time in if i come in dead last it wont bother me a bit ill get there   i know wh at you guys are saying though not all people think like i do some guys are gonna go out there and try and take first place the first time they ride
  but if we can get enough riders you could have classes no?

[tat2mike]
