Tired yet boys and girls? Or just gettin' in shape?
If you've never been to this place, hang on. It scares a lot of people!! I hear we are using every bit of this property and ALL tracks.
Print out some flyers and drop them off or staple them up wherever you can.
Bring a friend and give it a try.
We've had more 2 wheel guys than ever before give the quads a try and I swear there is talk of them staying on 4! Can you blame them!??
LET'S GO RACING!!

all tracks?! awesome! I'm glad this is going to be my first race! I should do well.  ;D

Hey Kyle, I'll be going to Hard Rock on Friday for practice, see if you can show up, good to know that you finally get to join us !

Luis C

is the track gonna include the 100 ft tower jump also. i dont know if i got the cajones for that. :'(

if they include the main track, then yes, but you can go to the side of the jump if you dont want to hit it(safest way)

ya thats gonna be my route it sounds ialot quicker too.

its not quicker, just safer, because you gotta slow down before the top of the hill, unless you plan on jumping it

maybe with all the action il get the nerve when im up there.

Out of the people who race, Id say Neal McGrath will be youngest racer to hit it.

how old is he.

I think 14 or 15.

15

ive seen pics of the jump i want to go out there sat to practice.

We went today, and I'm sure about something, that is a jump I'll never hit, it is just to crazy for me  ???

HEY LUIS! YOU WENT OUT TO HARD ROCK TODAY, WERE YOU ABLE TO SEE WHAT THE QS TRACK WILL BE LIKE, OR IS IT GOING TO BE ALOT OF THE MX TRACKS. JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE ARE UP AGAINST BEFORE WE GET THERE. HOPE YOU HAD FUN MAN!!!!!!

Hey Chuck ! we had a good time out there today, I'm really tired now ,  we rode on the tracks but they wouldn't let us go to the other areas were the race with take place, the track owner told us that the track should be around 6-7 miles using most of the property for it, the MX tracks, the Roller Coaster, the jeep trails and some other trails that will be used to connect all this in one track, it will be interesting, for what I saw, it will be like 50-50 on MX and trails.

amen!

SWEET!! THE ROLLER COASTER IS MY FAVORITE TRACK IN THE WHOLE PLACE. I HAVE NOT BEEN UP THERE SINCE THEY MADE IT WHAT THEY CALL QUAD FRIENDLY, WERE THE DOUBLES TO WHERE A WASHED UP 33 YEAR OLD B RIDER CAN MAKE THEM? TALK TO YOU LATER

To those of you who never raced a scramble here the water tower jump is the least of the worries. The woods are mean, mean, mean. The whole place is an old quarry, the hills out back are insane. I never raced Hard rock on a quad but I did race two harescrambles on my CR250. If they do some of the trails theve done in the past you guys are in for some fun. Prepare to be challenged!

Oh yeah, If you dont have roost protection get it, rocks from pea size to grapefruit sized and man do they hurt .

I haven't been there since 2002. We raced there in 2001 and 2002. It can be intimidating. Unfortunately I won't be making this one.

the track in Huevos 9 scares me that was there I would never do that on a quad, the track in Huevos 9 there looked like you needed to be highly skilled to ride on it.  I havent seen the othertracks though how are those?

        they  don't  call it  hard rock  for nothing !!  yes  it is   pretty narly outthere. 

quary=FUN!!!! i dont like jumps at all.

Everyone can roll over every jump, it shouldn't be a problem at the MX tracks, you want to watch out on the "roller coaster: and the trails (woods) we used to ride on a lil section they had and it was tight, I have no idea how is it like now.

will the trail parts be wide enough for a mx set up quad or just skinny ones?

FTR rules state 50" max width on any competition quad so the trails must maintain a minimum width of 50". My quad is 49.5" wide and I never had any problems.

everybody ready to rumble.

how much to race? i ran a hare scramble there back in the day ona kx125 the steep stuff is my fav

woohoo!! im so excited!! 50-50 track and trail is awesome. I love the main track, i hope the step down is included, thats my favorite jump.  ;D cant wait to rip it up, hope theres a good turn out in 0-400c

Entry fee for this one is $45 with a $10 gate fee.
It is NOT an AMA sanctioned event so if you were not a FTR member, you would just need to join FTR and thats $50 for the year. Then you can race any of the 4 series.
As for being ready... I am ready for bed. I have been working 12 hr days and it's killing me.
Oh, and you have to buy a $20 scoring device/transponder.

Good Luck everyone. I won't be making it. Someone needs to get some videos or pictures to post. See you all in January.

I'm not going either :'(.

dang !! looks like  +30b  is going to be   small  class  this time !    i'm not making it  either.  got  to pay  my employes   so  the  money pit  is dry !! :'(    good luck  guys  have fun..

This is one race I didnt want to miss, but SAT's come first i guess.  Guess ill have to wait till gatorback till some hill racing

Y'all have fun

This is really sad. This is a two wheel club that dug deep to make it happen. I hope there is enough turn-out so they want to host again next year.
My usual ride is not going either, but I am and so is his brother.
We can't leave WPB until 9 pm. That puts us in around 1am. AAAGGGHHHHH

1 AM....1AM!!!!!!!!!!...hell that would be usually early for us...lol


guess this is "ONE" of those THROW AWAY races as far as points go being there is a lil more travel involved.....hate toe see what happens next month at Jax....maybe we'll get 100 quads!!!!!!

Sorry fellows but as much as I would like to dedicate every weekend to going racing I cant ditch my wife and 2 daughters and all my other responsabilities too often (my 6yr. old son would disagree, he is pissed we're not going).  Its hard for me to go off more than once a month and this season has been every other weekend. Barely enough time to get the bikes and trailer back in order, especially with these damn short days.
  Good luck to everyone,we probably will make it to the Jacsonville race.

Hey Brian, If memory serves they close and lock the gates at 11:00 to vehicular traffic. Just check so you dont have any surprises.

im excited about the trails not so much mx, i dont like racig mx dont mind going to a mx track and messin around thats gonna be my weak point this is gonna be my first ftr even also so hopefully i can get to know some of you.

that track was sweet, until i did a nose dive down the steep hill and faceplanted, i couldnt see straight for a while but other than that and knee pain with some back pain and alot of cuts on my chest and chin. im good readt for jax and i think i might have gotten a small concusion my mind isnt working write.

Sorry about your accident. Glad you finally got to make it to a race, aint it fun?
  Cant wait to see the scores, I'm betting Louis got another win.

Thats why we decided not to race and got our monies back .... might be a good place to have a fun ride or if you are a MX rider I'm sure it was "GREAT" but as far as trails...it was way to bad for beginners...Ute's or women....Thanks Big Scrub for trying....

my old bones just don't quite heel fast enough

Hope everyone everyone esle made it though ok....Donna...Jamie...let us know if you went on to the Hospital and that you're ok

Thats partially why I didnt go. I'm too old to want to duke it out on a mx track. I want to race in the woods.

Chillin and Southern it actually wasn't that bad. I have only ridden MX track once before and I ended up getting 1st place in 400 c class, FINALLY! The woods were short and easy the hills weren't that bad just had to remember to slow down.the outback track was the worst cause they ran it backwards and there were a couple of HARD landing step downs. I had a little trouble of getting nauseas with all the water I drank during the race and the MX jumps weren't agreeing with me so I stopped drinking last half. I think Randall had the same problem, dang his luck, he was doin good again. Keep your head up Randall! I think it was overall a great track,short (7 laps in like 1hour 44 minutres) and a little to much MX but surely a different track for scrambles.

ya its really fun i was worried abou the mx track but it was ok im hopefully going to be at the next one.

I saw you predatorracer after the tumble. I stopped you and asked if you were allright. I was headed to the 3:30 starting line and you were headed back to your pit. Despite the blood around your chin and face, you had a S eating grin from ear-to-ear. Hope you are okay.

In the first post of this thread, I did say "If you've never been to this place, hang on. It scares a lot of people!! I hear we are using every bit of this property and ALL tracks."
nuff' said.

Thanks to everyone who made this race happen.
The MX tracks were managable for sure.
The one place of two that scared me was a downhill in front of the camping area. Everyone who saw it said "you have to go up that?" No. We had to go down it! The first time, I felt like I landed at the bottom. THAT scared the bejeezus out of me. The other scary part was the long down hill before the finish line. You had to go downhill and over a wierd bump and then make a left back into the short woods. That wierd bump got me messed up and I would darn near hit the big tree that came up just after that. SCARY!! I LOVE IT!!
I will say what sucked was the trophies. Is it just me? The placement part does not even have a sticky thing to stick it to the plaque. The picture (C. Borich) looks like it was cut out of a newspaper by a three year old. AND no t-shirts :(
Please remember that BSTR is a motocycle club and they went above and beyond to make all this happen. They should be praised for supplying a race for us.  :)

Congrats on your 0-400 C win Mike, My son said it was fun racing with you, and looks forward to the competition in the next race. Hopefully his machine will hold up for the next one(hard to race with no clutch lever or shifter shaft) You might even have me to contend with if santa brings my parts. Hope to see tou in Jax.     PS I hope I remembered your name right.

Thanks for helping me out when i was throwing up, i tried making it to the finish, but i just couldnt hold it long enough, 3rd would of been nice but at least i still got 5th

Are you just mad because its not a yammi on the trophies,lol. I can show you some from years ago that are utterly nasty, didnt even want to hang them. these trophies with that sweet honda on them are definitely hangable.

lol oh that was you? ya i dont know what s eating grin is but i am fine. that dirt tore all my graphics up, did anybody get videos there i saw alot of cameras but nobody has posted them up yet.

I had a GREAT time, but damn arm pump got me BAD! lol i couldnt move my thumb after three laps, i was using my palm to throttle my bike! Still pulled out 2nd in 0-400 B though. Hopefully everyone had their heads turned when i almost took a nose dive on front table top on the main track. haha, i wasnt thinking apparently and hit the brake instead of the throttle. That was embarrassing. Cant wait for jax. didnt bend or break anything that isnt easy to fix so thats always a plus.

Thank's to the Big Scrub Club for hosting this race, specially for been a dirt bike club making a big effort to put this event toughether.

Great track, it had a lot of different conditions that we can hardly find in Fl. the mx on my opinion was OK . . . well I didn't like riding the Out Back backwords, but you could roll every jump if you didn't fill like jumping them, the drops were the best, it was very exiting to go for them (adrenaline)

My buddy Shawn in his first QS went over the bars on the first set of whoops on the woods, and dislocated his left shoulder but it is OK now, he got back from the hospital last night and he was filling OK, I hope everyone that got any accident is OK.

Sorry about your accident. Glad you finally got to make it to a race, aint it fun?

Thank's Matt but I couldn't get any better then 3rd, this guys in +30 are getting too fast, we have yet another winner, this time was for Jimy Sheer, second for Kenneth I had a bad start and it was really hard for me to make up ground with the top guys, when I finally got up to third that was it, I couldn't get any further up.


Good job Kyle in your 2nd place in 0-400 B first race and got in the top

Scores are up!!

[/quote] hey luis are you talking about shaun collister

Yes Tony! , yes it was Shawn Collister, he finally decide to come and race with us a QS since this had a lot of MX he would have been OK, but unfortunately he went over the bars and hurt his shoulder, he was OK last night but I haven't talked to him today.

Thanks alot, look forward to seein ya at Jacksonville. And yep you got name right. Only a Honda would keep goin without a clutch

Hey what was that cool looking TT stuff that was down the hill? Those guys were sliding around and it looked fun. I wish they had something like that around here.

it's a ball.  that's thunderbowl speedway.  they have their own section on this site as a subforum under the race forum.  you can find the schedule there.  we've run there several times for the tt race (they also race flat track, i.e. circle) and we love it.  we wanted to go that night to race the tt race until my son crashed.  it's easy to get hooked.  i know for the tt race he started allowing a nobby class.  sundays he has open practice, when we went it was fairly empty and we had plenty of track time. can't wait to get back ;) :ThumbsUp.gif :ThumbsUp.gif

Yep, "slidin' around" is very addictive! LOL. We have several woods guys that come and race TT and Flat Track. We have a TT and Flat Track race this Saturday, 12/8/07. It's our last race of the season, so c'mon out and give it a try. It should be a great day. I promise you'll love it! We have classes for adults and kids that have quads with knobby tires. Hit me up if you have any questions. 

I wish I lived closer. I would like to try it out.
