ATV Florida Forum

Just-Add-Dirt  in cooperation with SAQR is in the planning phase of the next event at location X. Looks to be a 6 hour endurance race Saturday for Dirt Bikes and Sunday for Quads. This will be a team event (rules to be made up as we go along) each day will feature an "IRON MAN" race within a race (one rider one machine 6 hours). The next competition will be the "SUPERMAN" (one racer both days one Bike one quad) The "SUPER TEAM" will also be held (one team two days two races one bike one quad). 
The staff here at JAD will attempt to aquire MAXXIS as a major sponsor for the event, but if there is enough interest the race will go on without them. We need a show of hands,
WHO'S IN?????

COUNT ME IN, WE DID THE EIGHT HOUR RACE IN GEORGIA AND HAD A BLAST. ONE QUESTION IF YOU HAVE A TEAM OF SAY FOUR RIDERS IS IT ONE BIKE OR EACH MEMBER HAS HIS OWN BIKE. AWSOME CANT WAIT!!!

is there a set date, is it going to be in florida?

rules regarding this have yet to be made will post as soon as decided

yes, the same location as the FTR Wild Turkey Quad Scramble

We would more than likely be there. The deciding factor would be the date.

Did you get the videos I sent? If you want any in particular one that you see on youtube, let me know, I can send it to you..

Give me a date, and I will let you know if I can do the "SUPERMAN" event.


So far, I am in.

I have at least four with me, were all in,rules and date permitting.

ya depending on the date i will hopefully be there.

count me in, like the others, a date and rules will be a must. classes and other details

i'M IN.

You know I'm in. I know three others for sure that are also in.
BRING IT!!

any news on this?

same here

Marc...how'ed your boy do?

As soon as we get a date I'll let you know for sure.

Its official the race date is January 19 - 20.  More info and rules to follow.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet please dont change that date, im there this is gonna be cool!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Damn, its going to be the weekend after we all drive to Jacksonville? Not much time to prep. I was hoping for April, we have no Quadscrambles for April, it would have been perfect.

I agree with Chillin, bad choice. I would love to go but I can't go 2 weekends in a row.

i got to find a way to jax or im going to go crazy :'( :'( :'(

Is this race FTR sanctioned and scored?  Who or what group is responsible for making all the plans, dates, rules, etc.? I think the date will kill either the quadscramble or the 6hr race, they will both suffer attendance.
  When will we get details? If the race is going to be that soon shouldnt the details already be ironed out.

Other than fuel costs, I can't see why either two would conflict with each other. This event has nothing to do with FTR. It's a Florida thing. I hope it works well and expect it will. Any of the other groups hosting their own events should be hailed as something good for Florida, too. I for one, support them all and hope they all have good attendance.
I can see fuel prices being the main factor in low turn-out. Some may have to pick their poison while others will drink it all in and love it.
This may be the time to start pooling together and splitting costs just to get to an event.

I JUST SAW ON ANOTHER SITE THAT THE LAND OWNER HAS PLANTED OATS ON THE PROPERTY IN JAX. SO THE CLUB IS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER PIECE AND MAYBE A DATE PER DAN GEORGE. SO MAYBE THIS RACE ISN'T A FACTOR. CHUCK8A

if the date doesnt change for QS jax i possibly will need a ride i will chip in for gas!!!!!!!!!!!

If there is no race at JX I can see this one been a success, other ways, a lot of people wont be able to make both of them.

I'll try to make them both, still waiting on the rules and other details

What I know as of now:

3-4 man teams and bikes, change as often as you like during the six hour race.

Will be a ironman class for each, quad and bike

Will be a superman class for those racing quads and bike

Will be a superteam class for teams racing both quads and bike

Will be also be a side by side race

Stay tuned for further info

so you have to be in  team

No you can do ironman, one man one machine.

but if your on a team do you each have a quad or is it one of those you ride two hours then stop then he rides two hours kinda deal.

It says 3-4 man teams and bikes, so it should be 3-4 riders 3-4 bikes, correct?

three man team three quads or bikes. each man rides his own quad/bike. This way you are not riding a bike that you are not familiar with and one bike is not trashed from the  hours of hard racing.

correct

I have heard about a location change but other than that, "heard" is the key word.

this is not a FTR event as for sanctioned trying to find that info out as I type

Sorry this race is not scantioned for by anyone but for fun..............

10-4

Well all the races I do are for fun, so it doesn't make any difference to me.

So let's all go and get toughether, have a great race and tons of fun.

Yeah!
I guess we should start teaming up.

ya i was thinking about making a team with another guy from c-open that i met at hardrock, if anybodys interested let me know.

If I go I think I might do the ironman.

The date is too soon for me. Hope this happens more often though.

Will there be classes such as A,B,C,vet, senior,etc? If not I want Taylor Kiser and Bill Ballance on my team.

why would you want those guys when you can have me on your team  :D

where is this goin to be?

venice where qs 4 was

Okay, so who is hosting this event? Just Add Dirt?
Are they going to produce a flyer and promote it or is it just a word of mouth/internet race?

>>> I am reading elsewhere this is being postponed until further notice. True??

a flyer is in the making it is being hosted by Sarasota Quad Riders, Old School Dirt Riders and just-add-dirt.   NO it has not be post poned....it is STILL on

So the date for this event is January 19 - 20, correct?
I can't wait!! :P

yes

we are also going to have a side x side race. Not a endurance just a lap race. If you own a rhino, ranger, prowler etc. bring them out.............. more info on this comiing soon

I'll see if I get Borich and Natalie since you have Kiser and Ballance already lol

It is looking good, let see when you guys have the flyers ready I'll print some to take at them to the tracks

I'm going to the harescramble tomorrow, I'll try to find out some info on this. 

I have 3 locals and Doug Gust running on our Utility Team with Suzuki of Sarasota.

This race is NOT happening, at least not next month.

If you don't mind pm me with where you got this info. I know nothing about this and as far as I know the race is still on and scheduled.

its not even on your calender
http://www.just-add-dirt.com/calendar/Calendar.cfm?startmonth=1&startyear=2008

over sight on my part, it is now and also all over the front page of the site.

its up now

there is a ftr harescramble that weakend so there will probably be very few dirtbikes but that will just mean a better coarse for quads on sunday.

Just got back from the race in myakka city.I am a member of sarasota quad riders,we spoke this morning about this race & Josh said we never said we were going to put on the race ,at our race we just wanted to see who is interested by a show of hands.We also talked to old school dirt riders & they knew nothing about helping.We are still getting over the wear & tear from our race,plus we are still racing hare scrambles & quad scrambles,Plus we have family commitments for the holidays.We were saying there is no time to put on a quality event in 5 weeks.When we built our track it took 2-3 months.It seems there has been a major misunderstanding between the club leaders.Sarasota quad riders is sorry for this to get this far out of control,but Josh never goes on the computer & when I told him about this he was totally flawed.

Man,! I hope this happens it will will be some serious fun!!

so its not happening

We had a club meeting on wed. night & at the race today.sarasota quad riders is not doing the race.It seems a few things got posted on the internet before it was talked about between the clubs.And without our club even knowing about it, there is a race date & flyers.We also would love to have a 6hr. race,but as some of you might know, we like to set the bar high when it comes to building a track.We try not to miss any detail.If it is not done correctly we could possibly hurt somebody and then there  goes the fun factor

bummer, if i could put in a suggestion that would probably make you club really popular also, it would be could to have a race go from like the jax area to miami that would be sweet. i have no idea how you would have the trail made out but it would be delightful lol.

The facts as I know them to be.

1. It was asked how many would be interested in a 6 hour race at the Wild Turkey Quad Scramble
2. The location for the race was established
3. We we notified as to who was involved
4. The date chosen was by Josh as there were no other races that weekend
5. I was told to get the information posted on various sites
6. There has been communication with all parties to be involved
7. As of the time of this posting I have not be informed by any of the powers to be that the race is
    cancled.

It appears that as with the beginning stages of the Wild Turkey Quad Scramble we have the old he said she said routine going on again or one hand doesn't know what the other is doing or saying.

Until it is posted otherwise the race is on as scheduled.

ok just keep us notified please my fingers are crossed

Well just recieved the phone call were as the 6 hour race has been cancled. Only reason given was to much to little. Sorry to disappoint all but it was out of our hands.

frickin a

I still think a 6hr. race will happen this year, just at a better time.  There are still plenty of XC races to go to this year.

hopefully....... more bad news ontop of the ftr problems.

If JAD has any say in it you can bet it will happen.
