Title: XC Racers please read Post by: Paul_S on November 14, 2009, 09:35:00 PM I was thinking of adding more classes to the endurance race, but having bikes, quads, bike quad combos is getting ridiculous, soon we will be having a class for people riding 2 blue quads who think it's unfair to race against a team with one blue quad with a red quad (sounds like some of our peewee feature races lololololololololol) ;D ;) ;) ;) ;) j/k
OK, so my question is, how fair is it to race the bikes and quads together, ie the a class is just a riders, whatever they ride and so on. Are the quads faster, are the bikes faster...I know everyone here is going to say the bikes have a great advantage, but none of the endurance races I have held (2 :D) would hold that theory out. If we remove the vehicle and just have the skill level of the racer, I can have many more classes. Last race, a quad posted the fastest lap time. The first race, quads dominated. Not trying to rob anyone of a trohpy, but wouldn't you rather win against a larger field...just asking.

The only thing I think is for the starts all vehicles need to bee the same. Its not safe to have a 400lb quad going into the same corner with a 250lb bike. I say bringem on..............they better get up pretty early in the morning to beat my team 8)
pro am Open intermediate beginner utility Thats all you need.

Look for a posting of the classes by tomorrow. |
