Is it just me.....Or does that track look like a dirt Martinsville? I'm thinking it's going to take a hard compound tire, judging from how black the groove is.

Very nice looking facility, and thanks for the info Dave!

Just curious but how many laps do you guys usually run in the heats?

8 laps in the heats
15 laps in the Main/Feature

Yes it may work better with a harder compound. I ran an RD12 at similar tracks and it feathered the tires with only one race but those black groove tracks have SOOOO MUCH GRIP! The G's in the corners are a challenge and if you are getting your bike sideways you just might be doing something wrong  ;)

Thanks. Lookin foward to this weekend, should be a good time.

Was supposed to come up with Dreth and Wayne for the race. Saw that track and...  :-\  . Is that asphalt with clay over the surface? Don't think I'll be trying to learn flat track racing on that :no  . Besides, 2 weeks ago Momma,(aka Wifey) told me I was going to church with her and the kids. Forgot all about that :o

   No not asphalt, just Georgia clay with alot of rubber laid down....makes them tires bark like a dog!

 thtas a good place for you to stay. we would ware you out up there

...still having problems with spellcheck I see... :o

It's been quite some time since I put a whoopin' on you Grasshoppa :D  . I don't think we need to be on the same track at the same time anyway  :tsktsk.gif

   you wont be puttin a whoopin on anyone in that open class, you can just ride in the back an watch though  :'(

Yet another name for Dave. ::)

I guess that one was too easy... :'(

You underestimate me my Lil Yoda looking friend. I'll get accustomed to the style of racing and see if I like it 1st. Will probably be the next race at Thunderbowl though.

they are all talk Rob! ive seen em ride and its more like little house on the praire :D

dont under estimate Rob, its just like ridin a bike u never lose it.

   They are all underestimated because not once has a so-called pro rider unseated one of the home track racers in the open class and dont start ranted about winning a heat race cause they dont mean crap cept to get you to the big show, then its for real. What is there to see if you like it? Flat track racing to simple just ask an mx'er  ::)Yoda's gonna carve em a new one and send em to the back to sweep the track ;D Who wants to make a list of names that have come to win a main and have come up short? Come get sum :D

wheres... Raymond been? Did he give it up?

   i could make alist but it would be pretty long LOL. That Rob guy made that Yoda comment and oh boy he better not ride the open class because them boys will put him in the back for sure now. hey billy, one of those mx guys will probably go race ocala on an off points night and then tell everyone he beat the open guys! :o

How many people in the league are going on a non points night?

Dreth,

Did you see my yellow 330R in the Open class last Saturday. I am sure I was going a little better than a wagon on little house on the praire. By the way what class are you in? You can come get some, as can any of all of these "Pro" racers that are always so much better than all of us "locals" anytime you want. Still, we are never losing to the "Pro guys". I don't know why so many people want to not give us any respect no matter how many times we prove to be excellent riders time and time again.  ??? ???

Ride1Rob,

Come on out, have a good time and enjoy racing with the finest bunch of guys you will ever get to race with. But if your new to the sport, don't expect to do too well in the beginning, it takes time to get everything working just right, and everything will have to be working well if you plan to be winning the Open class, that class is no joke, come find out for yourself.  8)

   Well said!  :Clap.gif

Scott, I don't in any way feel like I can come and run with you guys. That'd be absurd! That Rapster (sp) guy said something about running Open Class. I'm more than sure I'd get my arse handed to me. I was basically telling him that I needed to learn that style of racing first. And if he himself is not running the Open Class... I think maybe he needs to concentrate on the class he's in. I was racing Vet at SM and did pretty well (Alot of 3rd's and 4th's) on a bone stock bike. Quite a bit of those guys were running with built motors.

One thing you guys will NEVER hear me do is take credit away from you guys. But instead of some of your guys encouraging peeps like me to come out and try it, they make statements about being left in the dust in the Open class. WHEN THEY PROBABLY AREN'T EVEN PLACING IN THE INTERMEDIATE THEMSELVES ::)  . Why would I come out and race open and I've never tried FT??? Maybe they (Rapster & Kataytay) say that b/c they don't want to be 8th & 9th place now :P  .

The reason why you guys don't get enough credit is b/c YOU all make the US vs THEM mentallity. Like I said b/f, instead of encouraging peeps to come down and help your place to grow some throw smart comments in on them. Other than Wayne, Dreth, Gary and Tim Scisson, no one up there knows how I ride. And judging on how they placed, I'd be ahead of quite a few of guys in the intermediate class for sure :deal.gif.

Just come on out Rob. Its alot of fun and lots of great people.  ;)

Well put Rob. Like I said before, this really is the coolest bunch of guys I have ever raced with. I just met these guys 6 months ago, so they welcomed me with open arms and my teammate Derek (Derek330) as well. Come on up to Jasper this weekend if you can make it, there should still be about 25 quads there, so it should some good racing. I ride a Yellow 250R, you can't miss me its the only one out there like it, come say what's up, I'd like to put a face to the screenname.

hey Scott, are you feeling a little slow ::)? just wondering because  as you can see in the above post you were not mentioned at all! why would you throw me under the bus.............................

with comments like that? if you could have heard some of my comments (ask 550 superquad) about you and your quad you would feel differently. i went on and on about how fast your bike is and how you pulled wheelies all the way down the holeshot and how i had no chance against you open guys. i was playing with ride1rob and 1fastltr450 because they seemed like old friends with the star wars talk. sorry if you took it the wrong way or if you thought it was directed towards you but with all the smack talk that goes on in this section i would have never imagined the above comment. im no pro! ive never claimed to be! ive flat tracked twice now! my motto
is     ITS NOT ABOUT THE WINS, ITS ABOUT THE FRIENDS ;)

I have been seeing more and more people on this site acting like cowards. Why is it that when they have a negative comment to make they go and create a new screen name? If you have something to say just figure out a polite way to say it. We are all adults (well at least by age anyway, even though we act like kids) We all get on this site to talk trash to one another and have fun with, Ya sometimes some peeps do take it personnal but that is just the way it is. When its all said and done we all meet at the track and have a great time.

Dreth,

I p.m'd you, My bad bro.

ok. ok..... is everyone getting ready for saterday??  should be an interesting night!! !!  ;D
