Title: 10 hour endurance race Post by: duroc825 on November 27, 2008, 02:26:58 PM Theres talk of one at the Motoplex. Not set in stone and no details yet. Any interest?
Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: Jacob Fort on November 27, 2008, 07:34:56 PM i would go.
Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: svtbolt04 on November 27, 2008, 08:07:48 PM Yes. I would love to go! Need details though!
Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: Paul_S on November 27, 2008, 08:34:28 PM Yes. I would love to go! Need details though! Gonna be at the plex 10 hours. Teams of 1-4. You can have as many bikes as you have team members. Working on sponsorship to boost the purse I will be putting up. Will be classes. Bounty rrize if a team beats my Team Motoplex. I have pencilled in the weekend 14th and 15th of Feb. Not sure which day or whether to have it through the night as well or instead. Seeking opinions. Will advertise this race extensively.

Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: Jacob Fort on November 27, 2008, 09:53:57 PM racing in the night sounds sweet, how would you score it to make it fair for those solo racers racing against the teams?
edit: you should find out the mileage you would want so it could be something like the Motoplex 500 or something.. sounds cool.

We just did a 11 mile ssqsa xc race. Laps were taking 20~ minutes for the fast guys. 10 hours would be 330 miles. Probably average out to about 300 miles. Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: svtbolt04 on November 27, 2008, 10:54:19 PM Sounds awesome! I will be contacting some people to do it.
Wait a second... This open to bikes also? Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: duroc825 on November 28, 2008, 09:02:00 AM Hmm? beat the Motoplex team huh? Your temptin me to skip the Gatorback race Paul ;). This could turn into somethin big!

This could turn into somethin big! Not skip Mike, this a great warm up for Gatorback (as long as you think your bike can run for 2-1/2 hours without breaking down ;)) Nobody is going to beat my team. :P Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: duroc825 on November 28, 2008, 10:17:22 AM Hmm? beat the Motoplex team huh?

Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: svtbolt04 on November 28, 2008, 01:01:58 PM Dirt bikes allowed to ride?
Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: Paul_S on November 28, 2008, 02:18:04 PM Dirt bikes allowed to ride? Sure. I bet we end up with quite a few dirt bikes. Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: Jacob Fort on November 28, 2008, 05:53:17 PM please post the hours of the races as soon as possible so that way i can buy some extra lights if some of it is going to be in the night. I would like to see a 50/50 split between night and day.

I would like to see a 50/50 split between night and day. Jacob, I don't think we will run it at night. It would be really cool, but unfair on the dirt bikes. Let's shoot for a daytime one in Feb. If it's successful we could go for a all-nighter later in the year. Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: svtbolt04 on November 28, 2008, 08:34:31 PM You got me interested!
Cant wait to see the classes.

Thanks Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: slam1 on December 02, 2008, 10:55:19 PM I dont know if you have gotten deep into the planning stages but I would like to know if teams can run a machine per team member or one machine to a team?

We are getting deep in the planning. A team will be able to run as many bikes as there are members of the team. I am pretty sure that this is going to be the classes.

I don't think I would do it by myself, but I will be up there either with a team or not. I will be riding Intermediate Dirt bike.

Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: Paul_S on December 03, 2008, 09:36:22 PM How many riders per team is the max ? and how many miles will the track be ? Max 4 riders per team. Flyer for the event will be finished and posted tomorrow. Not sure on mileage. I have a lot of trails I can tie together to make the loop. A lot of it will depend on if the property is wet or dry at the time. I won't run you guys through anything too muddy. I will leave the course until a week or so before the race, but probably in the 12-15 mile range. Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: YFZ450-Tampa on December 03, 2008, 09:41:23 PM Good, I understand about the loop, but the longer the better, it will be really rough as the hours go by, and if is to short, that will be worse
Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: svtbolt04 on December 04, 2008, 02:21:23 AM BRING IT ON!!
Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: Paul_S on December 04, 2008, 04:10:36 PM Flyer is up:

Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: Paul_S on December 04, 2008, 08:27:25 PM We have had a few comments about running the main event on sunday. as a few mentioned that some people cant stop racing at 7 on sunday drive home & work on Monday.
I can't run them all on one day but I couldit so we the main event on sat, then the SXS sat night, then the kids on Sunday morning after we re-groom the trail. Anyone else have a problem with the times, if we are going to change it, I need to know quickly. Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: jayman on December 04, 2008, 08:53:06 PM I think I will be in on this with the wife's rzr, may have a few "team riders" with other rzr's as well.
Paul how wide will the trials be? Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: Paul_S on December 04, 2008, 09:12:00 PM I think I will be in on this with the wife's rzr, may have a few "team riders" with other rzr's as well. Paul how wide will the trials be? Plenty wide for a rzr, lot's of options too. Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: jayman on December 04, 2008, 09:12:33 PM Wide enough for the rzr to be 64"
Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: BIGREDTIDE on December 05, 2008, 02:58:36 PM We have had a few comments about running the main event on sunday. as a few mentioned that some people cant stop racing at 7 on sunday drive home & work on Monday. 7pm on Sunday is a little late. Heck.... it'll be dark & late!I can't run them all on one day but I couldit so we the main event on sat, then the SXS sat night, then the kids on Sunday morning after we re-groom the trail. Anyone else have a problem with the times, if we are going to change it, I need to know quickly. Saturday prolly would be best, IMHO. I think a good event run time would be 7am to 5pm, that way it starts & finishes with daylight. Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: svtbolt04 on December 05, 2008, 04:20:06 PM I agree. I don't have a light for my KTM.
Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: Shawn on December 12, 2008, 02:49:36 PM All the trails were made with either a dozer = 8' blade or a skid steer = 72" bucket

Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: Paul_S on February 02, 2009, 07:23:09 PM I am trying to get a team together. I want to do it. You should, it is going to be a blast.We are cutting some brand new trails a this week, we will also be using our 7 mile xc/mx loop, some of our other existing trails and at least one of our 3 mx tracks. Hopefully, weather permitting we will have a 20~25 mile loop. Don't forget we are having and evening side by side race and a Sunday Morning Peewee endurance race too. Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: Mik__808 on February 02, 2009, 08:58:35 PM Paul i`m curious if there are certain classes for the pee wees???Age group, cc`s???
Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: Paul_S on February 02, 2009, 10:10:57 PM Paul i`m curious if there are certain classes for the pee wees???Age group, cc`s??? Yes there will be classes. I decided to leave it until Sunday morning to decide on the class split though, that way we can make sure we get it the fairest possible. Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: Jacob Fort on February 15, 2009, 07:15:39 PM For everybody who missed im sorry for you, awesome race. It was a challenging race and very muddy. Thanks Paul again for setting this up!!!!

Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: Jacob Fort on February 15, 2009, 10:42:43 PM Thanks!
Our team was first then one of our teammates brokedown by the time he came back we were 1 + hours and 2 laps behind. we came back to get third and only 30 minutes and 1 lap behind. Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: bseckel on February 15, 2009, 11:54:00 PM What team were you on? What bikes were you riding? I was there on Team Motoplex, I was the one Red Honda with the metal Mulisha grafics.
Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: Paul_S on February 16, 2009, 08:00:48 AM What team were you on? What bikes were you riding? I was there on Team Motoplex, I was the one Red Honda with the metal Mulisha grafics. Jacob Rides a Poopalaris (he rides it well though ;D). They were on the team with DaleQuad, Mike H (Duroc) and YbNormal. Due to some mechanical issues (suprisingly not from the Poopalaris) I think they came third. Good job too everyone.

Thanks paul! ya i ride a polaris and there as a canondale 432, honda 400, and a z400 on the team. Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: bseckel on February 16, 2009, 05:59:37 PM Oh your team had the Z400 that was stuck out on the 7 mile loop for almost all of the race right?
Title: Re: 10 hour endurance race Post by: duroc825 on February 16, 2009, 07:01:50 PM Yeah that was our z400 but ybnormal ended up doing his laps on the cannondale and did Very good in making up lost time. We didn't give it a full effort though to get 1st back cause Paul paid me 500 bucks to let his "name" win. Oops I wasn't supposed to say anything! ;D Seriously though you had some good lap times. Congrats. Look forward to the next one. What's the date Paul?
