Who's the National champ?

eric ummmmmm i cant quite remember his last name sorry.

hey guys i am moving to fl this summer and this track is about 10 min away from me i cant wait to go once i get my new yfz ill let you guys know when i will be out there. Probally every friday becasue i wanna race the circut at sunshine so i will need all the practice. Also how big are the jumps are msot of them 4 wheeler friendly i dont wanna kill myself lol


~yfxkid

yo its 53raptor350 from yfm350. all the jumps are quad freindly you can roll everything if you want.

alright thanks and how wide should my front end be becasue i want to ride the trails to im not sure ?


~thanks yfzkid

if your going to ride trails to id just leave it stock because the 450 is pretty wide. the only bad thing about sunshine is that its so tight. that makes it fun in a way trying to find the fastest line to clear the jumps.and is also challenging to pass people.

thanks i wonder if i get +1 if i will be fine i dont know i will have to look into it more but im looking at +1 right now i dont want it to wide but wide enough to race.

~yfzkid

will sunshine be open the 18th (this friday) i wanna check out who the "pro" is i havent rode out there in a year

What do they charge? Membership?practice?

yeah ill be there every friday its $25 bucks on friday from 6:30 to 9:00 you get plenty of practice and lessons.

do they have a decibal limit will i be able to use a tc pipe?

i dont think so, i saw a guy out there last night pipe was extremely loud  :o

did they kick the guy out or did they let him be?

I want to go but their website doesn't show where they are located unless you are from Hillsborough or Pinellas County.

Please help...I want to go this Friday.

Mike

i dont know if im goin now, im runnin macon in georgia. sorry guys

Hey guys,
Raptor350's dad here.The track is not measuring for decibals.
Of course,don't bring it up and you won't have any problems.
Sandy is trying very hard to make things happen for the quads and i appriciate all of you guys being interested,it has been a lot of fun on Fridays cause it really works out to being about 2 to 2 1/2 hours of straight track time with a national rider available for advice and help if needed-It has been said that this track is not quad friendly and when i brought this up to Sandy her reply is "i can't help if they don't show up!",she really likes it when quads are there cause it fills the bleachers more.If you are coming from the north get to tampa and follow the directions(it is the easiest way)and if you are coming from the south use St pete directions.I would really like to see all of you guys start racing here with my son so we can build this track up and get it our way!!Seriously-Sandy and everyone else at the track are trying hard to make eventful for quads-t-shirts,quad trophies and plaques and giving away free practices for a year and lots of other things-so let's get together and make this a real home for us to ride at!!

Again-thanks for the Friendly times with my son on this site-i really appriciate you guys and hope to meet all of you soon-if you have questions give me a call(727)458-9403-Toby

way to go pop! make it happen! im hoping top make it, it depends on elka and lone star. my quad is in pieces right now! im trying HARD to be there

If you race there for the series do you need # plates with #'s and do they pick the numbers for you.


~thanks yfzkid

Anyone know ????????. :-/

You pick your own number and yes it is required,front and back/and anywhere else you can put them!!!

Hey Dreth,
I hope you get your quad back together,and hope your son can make it as well/this is a great thing we have going here and want to let everyone on 4 wheels enjoy it!! The kids that showed up last Friday could not stop talking about it-they were like going crazy about getting on the track and doing laps with their dad-it was cool to watch them enjoy it so much!!
Good Luck on getting your quad back together and hope to see you guys on Fri.
Dad

thanks raptor350 hope to see you guys in a few weeks im going down for vacation and were staying in our new house so my dad said hes gonna take me down on friday to watch and go to the races on saturday Hope to see you guys and the track, will hopefully be racing in october or noveber once i get my 06 and mod it all out for mx.


~yfzkid

great ill see you there

i now have a stem! i called lone star and they shipped my axle today so it will be here in time! its all on elkas shoulders now and they get my shock tommorrow so it will be close

yeah im really lookin forward to it. elka is good on time so you should make it.

who's going tomorrow night? I will be there.

MB

my dad will be there. i might as long as i stay out of trouble. :P

does your dad ride a quad?  If you and or your dad make it there tomorrow night come over and say HI.  I will be driving a pewter color suburban and will be pulling a 20' White enclosed trailer. I will have a White z400 and an Orange KFX400 &  my son will have a Red Eton50. Hope to see everyone there! :)

yeah he rides but not much on the track. if you see us before we see you we will be driving a yellow chevy colorado with a trailer pulling a raptor 350 and a 660.

Damm i wish i was already living in florida but ill be there this summer to practice got permission to race from the parents yesturday. Also does anyone know when the winter series starts up thats when i will probally be racing becasue the summer series will already be over by the time i get there. Also for my first year should i race in the c or b class i dont want to race in a class were its easy for me i want to be in a class were i got to push myslef.

`thanks yfzkid

raptor350,
Oh by the way my name is kevin.  I'll look for ya.

Dreth are you coming too? did elka get to your house yet?


sry kid I dont know much about the racing circuit, I am just a weekend warrior that plays on the track.

last year the fall winter series started sept. 18th so thats my guess. and right know there are no a b or c classes just beginners but thats all about to change because were getting more quads. right now we got a full gate.

by the way my name is jake and my dads name is toby.

Dang i thought the fall/winter series started later. Depending on when the 06's come in and i can get the bike set up i hope i can race the fall/winter series it will be a close dedline so well see. Even if i cant race that series i can get all the practice in and race the next series ill see what happend rather race in the winter though becasue its not as hott.

~yfzkid

you dont have to start in the begining last series i started towards the end and came 6th overall. i think the 06 comes out in august.

lemme know if u head up, I'll take a ride over to the track and watch ya'll....

I don't think my 4x4 will do the track too well...

well i am sorry to say but i will not make it this friday due to quad is still in peices  i will be there the next friday(4-8-05)
though   if anyone else can be there that weekend as well it would be great, its a little more time for repairs and $

as i just posted i will be up next friday instead so make plans and bring a camera ;)

that sucks well hopefully there will still be a big turnout. :'(

its friday again  ;D  whos going to the track tonight?  

The track is up and running tonight and we will be there!
Please show up and support local scene!

I might stop out there with my son. I just live a few miles from there. What do I look for i.e. truck quad trailer?

yellow chevy colorado with flatbed trailer pulling raptor 350 and 660. ;D

thanks and hope to see you there!!!

We'll see how much time I have. I'm helping Thrasher move in a little bit and don't know how long it will take.

What's up,

My name's Andy... I was out there this past friday and it was awesome. There were only like six bikes there... but we got to ride as much as we frickin wanted for the whole 3 hours... I got in some serious practice time.
I won't be out there this comin Fri... but the week after that... I'll be there.. as for the track... its pretty quad friendly. Like Raptor350 (?) said... you can roll any of the jumps that ya want. It's not the widest track... but in a way that adds to the challenge and makes it a heck of a lot more fun!....

Later guys,
               - Andy

were you on the kfx400 if you were you should think about racing the series your pretty good. the track has now changed the jumps are alot more fun and challenging.if your not coming out friday you should race sat.


thanks and hope to see you there,
                                   jake

(p.s. we need more quads so try to stop by on race night.)

yea,

I've raced a couple of times like 2 months ago and because of school and everything haven't been on the bike in a while. Yea... I was on the KFX400. It was alot of fun.. .i'm just trying to get back into it... i need to get back in shape and everything lol. But it sucks cause I won't be back on the track till not this weekend but the weekend after that...
But, I will definitely try to start racing on sat. also. We do need more quads tho... definitely.
So what is the track like now?

it goes the opposite way. that really big double is now a step up but i think its just a table and that triple is now a double or triple but that might change and there are two doubles in the back were that one small double was (the one i cased really bad and blew my bead out) they are now makable. i still need to get use to the track the jumps are you either make it or you case it or you can roll them but i feel stupid rolling it so im just going to start jumping.

im gonna make it! my quad is down but i have a loner quad that i will be riding  so ill be there around 530 pm.

Hey Ya'll,

Finally, I'm back in town with nothing planned on friday... so I'll be out there.. I'm the green bike... #27. I'm not that fast... but it's fun and that's all that matters. I can't wait. I haven't been out there since they changed the track.

See ya there,
                  - Andy

Raptor350's dad here-can't wait to see you out there Andy,the track is a lot of fun now and they hired a groomer for thursdays so it should be real good tonight,to everyone we will see you out there!

I can'r go today, I'm doing some up grades on my quad, but I'll be looking to go next Friday, how many quads have been showing out ?

10 to 15 quads its starting to progress very quickly hope to see you there.

Hey,

I heard about the wreck that happened right after i left. What's up... is he hurt bad or was he just knocked out?... let me know dude... it was the slower of the two Yfz's right?

Later...

yeah his name is jerry (the stock bike w/yoshi pipe)  he took a big spill off the step up to the table jump, not quite sure what happened I just seen his quad tumbling.  He was knocked unconsious(sp) breathing really hard and unresponsive but before the ambulance left with him he was trying to talk and respond which was a good thing.  You always wanna just get that last jump in before you load up.
I think he will be ok but real sore, toby will post us an update later on jerry.

kevin

Ok,

Sweet thanks for filling me in. Yea I know what you mean.. it's ALWAYS the last jump lol. Well, idk if you know him or not... but let him know that I'm prayin for him if ya get a chance to talk to him...

Later dude,
               - Andy

we talked to him last night and he was talking and so far it looks like he is doing good no broken bones as of last night but when we call him today ill post up a new post.

thanks jake

let us know if theres anything we can do.

MB

I did not see him crash...I was still on the track, but I hope Jerry is doing ok...I felt so bad for him just lying there on the ground not moving. :(
I just met him that night,but he seemed like a real nice guy.

That was my first time there on a friday.  8) Next time I should have 2-3 more friends going.

Dad here(Toby),
  Jerry really appriciates all of the support and help everyone gave him and his girlfriend on friday night,he was surprised and thankful for all of us who helped out.He is a little sore and swelled up in the chest and legs but other wise ok.No broken bones and no concusion,They did do a cat scan and found nothing.Thank you to everyone(especially mudd's wife)You guys are all the greatest and i appriciate all of the support for Jerry and the track.I wiil keep everyone posted.
He said he might be out Fri. night at least to watch but maybe to ride.
The bike sustained minimal damage for the the tumble it took-
only bent the bars and either the rim or axle(just a hair).That's one tough bike!!!! ;D
Again,thanks to everyone for helping out,we also want to thank Radney from BurnoutBarn.com race shop for storing and helping fix Jerry's bike and maintaining and sponsoring Raptor350's bike!!! ;D
Have a great day and hope to see all of you again this Friday and all the ones to come!

Toby

Dad again-
  Just got off of the phone with Jerry(or as he will be known in the future:Crash & Run)and he wnated me to let everyone know that he is really thankful for all of your help and good wishes and says GIT-R-DONE and THANK YOU!!!!!

Thanks again from ME as well,Toby ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hey guys we are glad to hear that hes doing good, and everything checked out OK.  I hope to see everybody up there at the track not this friday but the follow friday.  It gets kinda expensive to go every friday night, ya know with Gas  prices and all.

toby,

thanks for the good words.

from Mrs muddbuggy

Hey,

My schedule sucks... seems like I finally get a chance to ride... and then it's another two weeks of things that keep me from being out there. Sorry about missin last friday. I won't be there at all this weekend either. But next week it's on again.
Heard about the whoops. That's the one thing that sunshine hasn't had for a little while. Tell me what they are like... also... Raptor350... do you have a s/n i have some other questions. If ya do you can either just write it on here or send me a private message. Thanks dude.

Later,
       - Andy

the whoops are fun. they are really short together tho he said that he will fix them. it sucks that you cant make it down all the time see you there next week.and no i dont have a s/n just keep pm me if you have questions.

Who is going this friday? Do you have to buy a membership or is it just $20.00 to ride?

it is just $20 you must have a killswitch. hope to see you there.

Im bringin some friends again.  hope to be there when the gate opens :)

Hey guys,

Well, just found out that my parents aren't going to be around tonight. And I'm only 17 so I guess I won't be riding tonight.
But, I've got some good news. Last fri. the track asked my dad to do some photography of the other riders out there instead of just me so that everybody could get some pics and stuff. So he did and those pics are finally on the web. go to... http://www.photoreflect.com/scripts/prsm.dll?ArrangePhotos  - they should be on there... if they don't show up... let me know!

Later,
      Andy

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

come back and take some more when im healed. :P

hey raptor350 ruben was telling me ther not going be a friday nuight quad night anymore is this true i would be mad, if so he likes to switch on and off with the dirt bikes

well I went last knigth to see what was going on on fridays up to Sunshine, and it looked pretty good to me, I hope they don't shut this down now, I'm fixing to go there with some of my friends and quads next friday, so please let me know if they are shot dis down. I saw some quads last knight, and I'm sure as far every body get to know this track,a lot more people will be gettimg there... like us, we will be looking to get here next friday.
Please let me know if there are any changes  [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif]

hey i was there with the 52 inch. wide raptor 350. i wasnt riding due to my collar bone.yes they are shutting it down. >:( next friday will be the last one. they said its because we didnt have enough people. i think 14 quads is a good turn out. i will not be there next friday due to famoly plans but you all should bring as many people as you can to change there mind please let this work this is our last chance. we have diff. people turn out every friday if we can just get them all to come out at once that would be great.

Well I'm looking to get some friends for next friday, is sad they are shutting it down, but there is always a chance, let see if we get a bunch of guys, they may change their mine.  :-/

there are to many othere reasons also that me and muddbuggy know about i just dont want to wast my time on it. if i were you i really would not come the track will probably not be groomed or nothing. im tired of sunshine they dont like quads. they ran them off before then we managed to get them back and they ran them off again so im done im off to bartow. all they care about is money. and they know the diff. in money between dirtbike and quads. >:(

man that sucks that they are shuting it down i was really looking toward that this summer. This blows now i think ill go race someweres else if they dont like quads.

i would still start there since its right down the road. i know i will ill just race there when i have to then once you get used to it we will go else were.when are you comin down again.

im coming down the end of june so in about a month i cant wait. So the other practices nights do you have to switch back and forth with the bikes? maybe this friday people will convince them to keep 4 wheel friday i hope so i was really looking forward to that. How far is bartow away maybe when i get down there we can go to race there.

~yfzkid

Like I said before, I'll try to get some friends got go there, but about Bartow, do they open on friday nights for practice?

i dont think bartow is open on friday for practice they have this new schedual. and yes you have to swicth on and off with the dirt bike on other practice nights. maybee when im healed we can get a group ride going on to bartow on a sunday or even a saterday if there is no race. that place is great.

check it out at bartowmotocross.com. they have lights now so thats why they changed the schedual.

they have this other really cool thing that you can do where you can lease the track for $150 a month per rider and they give you a key to the track to come any time you want. ;D now that they have lights sleep all day ride all night. [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif]

that would be cool to lease out the track for a month. Do you think you are still going to race at sunshine when u get healed up? i still would like to race there becasue of how close it is to me.

~yfzkid

yeh maybee if you want to see the races go to pic section. ;)

ok thanks
