ATV Florida Forum

Who's going? It's in Melbourne this year.
I want to, but need to get the quad ready after Gatorback fiasco. That peanut butter turned to concrete.

I will be there with my usual crew of 5 including me. That is why I didn't go to Gatorback. I didn't want to break anything. Plus it is so far away. Hopefully see you there.

yep, that is why i too skipped the lasted two (1 by choice) i will be there with my dad and two of my friends.

im getting electric pulses through my body becaus im so excited.

Stop by and say hi if you see me. Here is my new look for the GNCC. Maier vented hood with custom mesch installed. I also ran across a picture the day I brought it home brand new Jan 28, 2004.

As long as my parts get here before friday i'll be there!! I havent really rode my bike since the myakka race!! I rode for about 5 minutes and then hit those trees. This race is going to beat me upppp! but i cant wait!

she looks purty ill post a vid of mine so you can see her slightly different look for the GNCC, ronnie is sending my shock to me now so it should be here thursday, ill be with gallagher and ronnie wilson so look for that really good looking guy with the predator and say hi.

After I check some things  I'll be there too, it took me more then 2 hours to clean my quad this morning but it was a nice race after all.

   that hood looks great frank !!!  thats at least 2 mph increase on the quad !!! ;D  i will be there  i hope   to get some pics and cheer you guys on.  i'ved some medical issues  so no racing here. til the next scramble    big brown truck came by fri  and drop this off.    the flexx bars  ;D

  oohh  hey !!  if you guys  see this dude  tell  him  no more   deep mud crossings !!!  lol ;D

hahaha i dont know who that is, but i watched someone go in the canal that was on the side of the trail right after that turn. I watched that race and had a blast, i cant wait to RACE a gncc.

I think I have a good idea who that is. LOL!!
It's been a year and I still thank you for pulling me out of that ditch!! You were so clean BEFORE you helped me.
Looking forward to seeing you there Rafael!

i will be there with frank

jake

sorry for the poor quality i dont know why its that bad.

Okay, two things.
You stink as a camera man, one, and two, YOU NEED A GIRLFRIEND!! LOL!!!!!!! :D :D :D

true about the camera man part i dont need a girlfriend females are spawns of satin lol jk

jake

Nope, no way i can get my parts in time. Unless honda hires hires mario andretti and gets my parts in by friday and i can magically get the whole thing back together and get down to melbourne in one day. I really didnt want to miss this race.  :( Looks like i need to start saving so i can race loretta lynn's

I'm going to be there to watch... :-\ 250r I miss you

i just got all the stuff together im leavng at like 8-9 tomorrow morning i have to drive back saturday night then drive there again on sunday morning. grrrrr lol

jake

Why are you going and coming back?

its my dads decision i dont know either i told him  we should just get a cheap tent to sleep in, im going to see if i can find some place to stay over there ill be tired as hell on sunday if we do drive back on sunday morning... i dont even know what time the racing starts on sunday??? i cant wait till i get my own truck lol.

jake

Unless you are going to practice why come on Saturday if you're going to go home and come back. Here is a link to the schedule for the weekend. You don't practice on the same track you race it is usually a 1 mile loop.

http://www.racerpress.com/newsmanager/templates/?a=182&z=24

im going on saturday so i can see the track and ride it, do they let you take a practice lap on sunday??

No practice on the track on sat or sun. Just 1 or 2 mile loop on sat.

so its just a one or two mile loop they made..and are you 100 percent sure on this.

The rules state no competitor is a loud to ride the track 7 days prior to the race. You can walk it on saturday. that is it NO practice on the race course in the GNCC.

so do you think its worth it for me to go on saturday?

i think i am still gonna go i just had my back shock fooled with by ronnie wilson and i messed with my gearing so ill see how my quad feels and i will walk the track.

jake

See you all there.

10-4 i will call you if my cellie has signal.

jake

im just gonna go sunday i think it would be pointless if i go today, i am changing the back brake today.

jake

cya sunday

see everyone tomorrow, good luck everyone!

thanks

kinda glad i didnt go today i had to bleed my brakes and change the back pad. ill be on my way about 3-4 a.m tomorrow i know most of you are already there but ill catch up.

jake

when does the race start?

Awesome battle today in the pro class!! I watched kiser pass balance in the mud section which was awesome, borich and bithell right behind them. Atvtrailer pulled out a 2nd place finish!!! All the way from 16th!

I was amazed to see balance back in 6th, and even more suprised he didnt get second. Borich got out in front and that was it! Borich, cook, balance, kiser, and mcgill. 

hmm, Angel atwell beat out tracy cecco as well. Tracy wrecked and had starting problems which probably resulted in the second place, but still a great race run by both riders! I wish Angel lived in central FL!  :-* haha I talked to her for a few about the race, seems like an awesome girl!!

Oh and Wes Miller was out there getting some footage of the race, so I doubt he's going to stop making movies anytime soon. Awesome guy!

may not of raced but I made the most of it! Hit up the monster girls about 3 times, I was wired! 

Congrats to everyone that got out there and ran the race, i heard it was a rough one!

WOW!! were to start that was definately the roughfest race ive had so far, i got a decent holeshot but then lost spots got up to fifth, then led a pack of guys in the wrong direction so i lost about 4 spots there then i got a shot of adrenalin(honestly, it made my eyes water) and i just pinned it through the trails, i got back up to fifth but then hit a tree and broke the clamp off my front brake so i couldnt lean into the corners so that slowed me down.. then on the 3 lap i hit another tree that threw me off the trail and my back wheels landed on a cut down tree so my tires wouldnt hook up so i lost all the spots i gained back but charged back up to 6th and had a pretty knargly battle with a guy on a ltr450 we were going at it for probably an hour. i finished in 7th i think it was pretty good due to my brakes have some air in them even though i bled them saturday(i must hav went off course 8 times, and that little double on the mx section caught me off guard. it was a great race and i might go to the one in north crolina on the 29th fingers crossed. if you had to explain this race in one word "PALMETTOS"

I must be blind, i could of swore i only saw two predators out there and  neither one of them were you, i was lookin! Sounds like my last race at myakka, Make up a bunch of ground, lose a bunch, gain it back, lose it, gain it back etc. hahah. 7th is awesome for a national race though, congrats.

i know there were a couple mine is red palstics and i have my front rims are black there was a white one with a red hood piece on it and there were a bunch of outlaws. maybe i was going to fast for people to see me lol. ill tell you what its a lot digfferent from FTR seeing that many people watch you sure does give you encouragement. ill post a vid later on what mine looked like after the race.

jake

Yes it was a good day for us  ;D

racedaypix.com got some good ones of me my favorite is on page 22 i have the number 8 on my number plates, theres also some of me on page 5

jake

...what a nice day of racing, I took many many pictures and videos, have to load them up somewhere...going to look for your predator I saw a couple of red ones!

thanks you

jake

...alright what about this one? it says "Jake" on the nose!?

that is my buddy john gallagher he is in the senior class, the name actually says john g on the front. looks like mine though mine has black rims in the front and has a orange sticker above one of the headlights

jake

That looks like gallager SR hes a real cool guy we rode with at croom the weekend befor him and joe went on a trail ride

hes the oldest rider in the GNCC his son also rides thats cool father & son

...I only have one more red predator and its got a red number 38, so that would be one out of the PRO class! I missed 75% of the first class ???

ok thank you for looking racepix got some good ones of me

jake

I raced as well the only orange and black 08 yfz there. finished 9th in 24+c class. does anyone know a guy by the name michael deater rides o honda 400 ex. he wrecked on the first lap at the 1 mile mark and my buddy stayed with him till parametics arrived. tryign tog et soem info on him to make sure he is ok he was air lifted out

i remember passing a sxs carrying all his gear his helmet fell of and i hit it on accident hope he's alrite, by the way i ran out of gas rite when i got back to our truck. pretty good timing

i saw one guy finish the pm race with his nerf bars dragging and his front right shock broke off! Dont know how he did it.

everyone please  keep a  ear out for any info on that guy  i really would liek to knwo how he is doing

I think he is doing OK, the quad is the one is trash out   lol

so that must be then you floydamus??

(http://a743.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/72/l_cb6953a3f2d94268bbc33a1796048216.jpg)

yes that would be me. and yes i got ahold of the guy that wrecked walked way with a concusion  and sore

I see turboderf in the background.

I see myself and the whole gang too,  that was a fun race to watch, busy the whole day.  Can somebody say FREE MONSTER! I was wired!

haha, everytime i walked by! I couldnt resist!

I tried as hard as I could. It was tough. I think there were two smooth spots on the whole course and they went by way too fast.
Glad everyone is safe.
See you all in Myakka City the end of the month

there you are jeez, did you finish? when you were on the way to the line i yelled "BRIAN" but you didnt here me you drove right by my dads truck but i didnt see you till you past. that was rough i got 7 after some rookie mistakes.

jake

yea it was ruff and there  i liek the  spot bout middle way that was balls out  when you come out of the woods and hit the cut through path. and i liek the  spots along the camping/pitting area where you coem out adn the 8.2 mile marker then hit soem more woods xso on and so forth

LOL! I liked the part where the guy held out the checkered flag and made me quit riding. I was done.
Some guy in a class with Silver sticker would not yield and everytime when there was opportunity he would purposely block me. I tried to make the move on the inside while going past the National Guard pit, and the dummy closed the door on me causing me to hit the post. I was not a happy camper. Yokelys crew helped me back on course and I chased that B-hole down and went around him during the next lap. People do not yield like they do here in FL. You definitely have to work for the pass. Going slower than I'd like, beats the Hell out of me. I rely on my suspension to ease the roughness, but if you are going too slow it doesn't have the chance to work properly.
Jake, I DID hear someone yell "BRIAN!", I didn't think it was for me, but I looked around and did not see you. I did see you in the morning race, though! Good job!

ya it was me i was behind you but, that was a fun race and i cant wait for the 15th the 29th im hoping i can go to steele creek(fingers crossed). but that was the first race i ran my newly fab suspension and some gearing play done the new 13 tooth front sprocket kicks a$$ so much more hook up off of corners and such i pulled too big of a wheely off the start and had to put it her down but then she came back up again. i lead like 5 guys in the wrong direction for a litlle bit on the 1st lap(sorry guys) but got turned around and did my best to gain my position back i was actually 5th coming to the last mile marker but i took the wrong line out and 2 guys passed me BUMMER lol but it was really fun the guys from polaris are great lots of good advice from them.

jake

Id liek to attend soem of the other races but don't have the funds for travel.  car pool ?
