Thanks,

Sand Mountain Speedway

hey i was wondering if you could post the map and directions. so i no where to go. and do u have any info on what the track is like??? 8)

hey Tom i'm a lil confused... is the next race on nov 28th or december 5th? i got an email sayin it was on the 28th and then on here it says the 5th... just dont want to go out there when there aint a race. thanks for the help

me to I need to know the date so I can try to get off work.

 :DNext race is on the 5th of December.  There was sone confusion, mainly my own, as to whether or not we were going to wait the 3 weeks or squueze another in...we are going on the 3 week plan, I misunderstood and went with the 2 week plan, so I do apologize for the confusion.

DECEMBER 5TH....DECEMBER 5TH....DECEMBER 5TH...

Here is the best I can post for a map...the track is south of Bartow, just off of US 17.  The entrance to the track is NOT on 17 however, it is on Sand Mountain Road.  If you need more detailed directions, the address is 1980 US 17 South, Fort Meade, FL...type it in to mapquest and good luck.

www.mapquest.com
www.expedia.com

both are great travel/directions websites.

Thanks
Tom

Any items that we need on our quads such as nerfs and kill switches?

The only thing required by the track is:

HELMETS
BOOTS (PROTECTIVE) no tennis shoes/sandals, etc
GOGGLES

CHEST PROTECTORS are suggested, but not required.

KILL SWITCHES & NERFS WOULD BE FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, & AGAIN ARE SUGGESTED, BUT NOT REQUIRED.

Any more questions, post em and I'll answer 'em as fast as I can

Thanks for the quick reply.  I will have nerfs but no kill switch.  Will there be a lot of practice time on the track?

There are usually 2 practices before race time!! Also there is acres of riding area to warm up on!

its a very nice track  
this week i dont think a whole lot  of people are gonna show up bartow is racing sunday and the ftr is this weekend at waldo i gotta work saturday so i am gonna go sunday otherwise would be at waldo  

everyone come check the track out

There will be a lot of people out there this sunday because its double points.  Also, not everybody is quite set up to run mx.
As far as Waldo is concerned, those guys usually dont show up for this kind of racing anyway! Gonna be a great race day. Especially when i punk down Marshall in the open expert class. If you cant beat your brothers azz, then whos can you beat.

I think we are going to bring out the old warrior and my friends CR500 again..maybe do some racing this time..dont know what class to race though!

hey jason i case u dont know who this is its brandon i ride the nacs ltz450 i was with my uncle phil last time we ran sandmountain i disagree with the statement the guys who race  the ftr  dont run sandmountain to much rick use to run sandmountain and he was mx all the way and clay runs sandmountain sandmountain is not a full blown tt track i think now that the jumps are bigger u will see alot of guys who run mx on the off weekends come to sandmountain i love the track just a very good atmosphere out there  i think i am gonna run open expert with u guys this weekend doubt i can run u down though jason lol  see ya there

are u the one on the black ltz in the beginner class my freind was on the stock 450r he came in first both heats ;D

Hey Brandon! Would love to have you in the expert class (it means more money for the class) But you probably would be better suited for the amateur class. It would be more competitive for you. If you and that 450r that REDRIDER is talking about moved up to that class it would be very competitive.
And yes REDRIDER, he his the black ltz your buddy raced against.  In my opinion they were both sandbagging a class! They should have both rode in the amateur class! But be careful~ there are some boys that can bring it in the AM class!

ya my friends i dont think is gonna move up he mainly races the 300 but he probaly would do good on the 450 but him and his brother that ownes it need to put some pipe on it or sumtin so it would run faster for am class

yea that was me  but this week will be different if he shows up i was runnin to low of air pressure last race as to i raced dade city the night before and sandmounttain is way harder packed i got  shity holeshots all day even my cousin clay jumped me out of the hole and he never   gets the holeshots and then the second moto i got tangled up  no exscuses  from me but i will assure u this week will be different  lol   i give it to him for a young kid he is a good rider

jason the only reason i am runnin beginner is cause i started  this series in beginner as to i had a stock 400 and  i only had been racing 2 months  when i started the series then we had the damn 3 month brake in racing lol  but i am gona win beginner clas for the year(confidence lol) and try to win am but that class is alot tougher

he tom i was gonna ask you when do you guyss think the points standing will be up on the website i am kinda curious to see em

Maybe hes realized that things are getting very competitive at that track and some serious quads are coming out now!!

I would like to get a quick roll call for the race on Sunday!
Whos going?
Whos thinking about it?
Who needs info on the race, classes, etc

I think they have groomed the sand drag here lateley, so that we can play a little also!
jt

I cant go but I think my dad and a couple others are going to try to go.

im gonna go with my 300ex race in sportsman again so is the kid on the 450 who raced in beginner and his brother who is racing in open expert are gonna be there

i  will be there  do gates open at  8 or 9 i have herd both

i thought the kids brother with the 450r would run bartow he is leading the c class points i do believe dunno though  and  bartow and sandmountain  are the same day

na bartow next weekend not this comin up weekend ya hes gonna race that and so is the kid with the yellow 300ex im not gonna race im gettin a new wisecoe piston and port and polish job done by atp( cant wait) also i got to save as much money as i can to get to gator back for winter olympics or atv olypics or w/e

I think me and my brother are going to bring the warrior out on sunday.  Not sure if I will race. Dont know what class to race, Sportsman would be nice but its supposed to be 300cc's and under so I guess the next best option would be Open Beginner. What do you guys think? ???

what i think the only bad thing about the warrior is like the 300cc and down u cant race in but open beinner there gonna have 450's and 400's the warrior cant keep up unless you got something in it but u can try to race in open beginner

Well, I got the stage 1 hot sticker kit and I heard they're worth at least 5 horsepowers apiece. ;D

hey redrider i hate to tell ya but bartow is this sunday dec 5th same as sandmouintain i got the scedule right in front of me  i think your buddys got the dates mixed up cause they missed the last race witch was 2 weeks ago this sunday i dunno but i know bartow is this  sunday

i know tony witht  the 450r is comin this weekend forsure  i am sure a bunch of local guys will be out there i dont care i just like it when i have 15 guys in my damn class rather than 3 or 4  its to boring with 3 or 4  u know what i mean hey man  u should be able to hand in the open beginer with the warrior top 3 if u can ride i would say sh*t man u never know what can happen i usualy win beginner have won 2 out of 3 races there  and last week sh*t i think i wound up4th or 5th out of like 9 or 10  so anything can happen man  just did a i think it was a 409 stroker kit on a guys warrior that thing  was pretty fast  it  pull a piped 400ex but anyway man come on out  run all u can do is see what it will do  see ya there

I KNOW A 50 YR OLD MAN RUNNIN' THE OPEN EXPERT CLASS SUNDAY!!  ANYBODY THINK THEY CAN TAKE HIM?

I MEAN, HES 50!! SOMEBODY HAS TO TAKE HIM UP ON A RACE!!

Hey guys , I'll be there Sunday ,  Will be riding my banshee (OB class)this race.. RTR ported....04 yfz450 ,01 banshee 8)

lol you are gonna run a rick todd built banshee in the open beginner class  lol  come on dude i feel i am sandbagging a bit in that class but sandmountain has alot to do with the bike and a banshee will beat any bike out there sept for jasons honda lol i dunno just kinda funny to me i guess bring it on
