Now for the FTR or GNCC you don't need to do that many mods but for the Raptor suspension is an isue, there are some guys racing raptors on FTR and they do really good. MX ? is totally different story, then you have to make many mosd, suspenssion specially +2 "A" arms, +2 rear axle, good set of after market shocks, and may be after market swing arm, motor ?? could be many things, pipe-air filter-hig comperssion piston-hot cam. Don't forget safety, nerf bars, bumper, kill switch. Hope this help !!! Title: Re: gncc race Post by: yamadooski on April 04, 2005, 06:12:43 PM Hey little boy.. ;D
You might want to start with FTR first. The Rapftor will be ok for a while then you might want to get rid of it if you are serious. You will not even come close in MX on a Raptor. Best thing to do is come to this weekends FTR at Gatorback and give it a try. Finish out this year season with FTR and start fresh again in Sept. when we start up again. Then GNCC will start back up again in March and you will have already had 10-12 races under your belt when you start GNCC. Hope to see ya there at Gatorback. Any help or questions PM me and you can ask all you want. Title: Re: gncc race Post by: Hawgin4x4 on April 05, 2005, 12:41:07 PM Thanks for the advice.. I am going to show my dad the info.

Title: Re: gncc race Post by: Albright335 on April 06, 2005, 01:46:12 PM Hi!!
If taking off work is an issue...I would start by trying FTR...I have raced FTR for the past 3 years and just now am getting into the GNCC! FTR races are usually closer...the GNCC races require Lots of traveling...and the GNCC race itself is longer and much different terrain...I would get your "feet wet" with FTR and see where it leads ya!! GOOD LUCK!!! Jennifer Albright!! ;D Title: Re: gncc race Post by: Hawgin4x4 on April 07, 2005, 03:41:25 PM YEA, RIGHT NOW I AM BUYING A TRUCK. SO I AM TIGHT ON MONEY. I WILL START WITH THE FTR FIRST. ON THE HAIR SCRAMBLES HOW IS THE TERRAIN? MUDDY? HILLY? LOTS OF WHOOPS? MY RAPTOR ALREADY HAS NERF BARS ON IT SO I AM 1 STEP CLOSER. THANKS FOR ALL THE ADVICE..OH YA, IM NOT A LITTLE BOY. LOL!!
Title: Re: gncc race Post by: YFZ450-Tampa on April 07, 2005, 06:35:33 PM Ok "Big Boy" hurry and get with us to Gatorback, this coming Saturday, for me one of the best tracks, it has everything, including a MX track, some hills on the MX track and out of it, woops... yes those to, mud ?
