Seminole MX is having a Quad only race Oct. 2 for anyone who is interested.

my friend redhead carlos(hes 15) is racing that day. its his second race i think hes racing c class with his yfz450. good kid.

that's good, it should be a good turnout. it is not very often a track has a quad only race. are you going to race?

Is it just OCT 2?  I heard it was going to be a 2 day event.  I know we're racing on the big track, that sucks.

How much does it cost to race and do you need  to pay for a track membership too?

1 day race. there will pactice on sat. go to www.seminoletribemotocross.com
all the price info is on the site.

also they do not make you get a membership. for now anyway.

Any XC guys going?  Where are you Will?

 It is about a 2-21/2 hour drive but I think we will try to make the race also.  It's a nice and long track. We only ran there once but liked it alot.

The quads are racing on the motocross track, which is the smaller track, also known as the "quad track".


O yea I'm gonna be there! ;)

Hey, are the videos I have seen of the "quad track"?

Vids:  http://doublezeroproductions.com/seminole9_05.html

I hope so.

That vid has shots from both the quad track and the supercross track. I'm pretty sure that huge step down is on the quad track. Here is a video from the quad track only.

Thanks for the link. I can't wait to ride there.

Hopefully me and 116 are gonna be there both
days.

I hate even talking about it cuz' you know
that goes. The "Don't show up" curse. LOL

Guys,
The motocross track is the big track.  I know it doesn't make sense, but thats what they call it.  It is the only track there with a starting gate.  The little track that we all love is the supercross track, we will not be racing on this one.

cool

Ill be there.  Im not going to be racing, i dont have all the goodies i ordered for my 06 yet.  My name is josh, ill be there in a pewter lifted silverado with 35s and 20s, and ill have my blue 06 yfz with me.  Feel free to say hey, I dont bite.

I went and it was a good turn out. There was one rider #15 on a TRX450 that was racing 16-24 age group and running B class. He won both 2nd round motos. I didn't get to see the first motos because I got there late. This kid is definately a A rider. He is fast.

Yeah the races were good. That kid flies!!! I went with just a couple of friends and our kids so they could enjoy a day at the track. I think we will be racing on the next one.

The #15 on the 450R was only like 16 or 17 and never got tired he was running strong all day in 2 classes and running 7 laps the first motos and 5 for the 2nd motos!!!!!

# 15 was the only guy in the B class that probably did not belong there. the rest of the class was well matched. the first race was a a new episode of survivor big cypress. at 1.2 miles and over 2 minutes per lap 7 laps is a tall order. good thing they shortened the 2nd moto. it was more fun and a little better racing since you did not have to pace yourself to much. over all it was a good turn out but there were more quads there for saturday practice so i thought the sunday turn out would have been a little better. NOTE TO ALL THE GUYS AND GALS THAT CAME ON SATURDAY AND DID NOT RACE SUNDAY YOU ALL NEED TO TIGHTEN UP A LITTLE AND COME OUT AND RACE.

We stayed and I raced Sunday in C. My husband didnt race because he was trying to keep up with me and our friends in the pro class. It's a good thing though because the 7 Laps would have KILLED him :P. I thought I was going to puke after that first moto (http://bestsmileys.com/sick/9.gif)

This was our first time down there and my first race with the guys. We had a blast and will definately come down again for Quad Only racing.

i think i saw you were you the one with the pony tail in the race outfit?

 ;) The only pony tail in the C class..not to mention the girlie light blue gear :P

 :D

Yeah I did you as well. You ride hard Mrs NB! You gave my wife inspiration, thank you. We will be racing next time and she just may run as well. What the heck....

 hey what's up guys! SEVEN LAP 1st MOTO!!!!! that is what set the tone for the racers. i had a really good time. i finally met a lot of you for the first time and others we just renewed friendships.  when it was all said and done i finished 6th overall and was awarded a 6th place plaque. not bad(to me)considering 17 quads in class and in second moto i stalled at gate and was dead last into the first turn!!! then to add to the bad start the turn after the second table-top i came over and mrs. NB was tangled with another rider which i got into that too!!! not on the 1st lap! i got back on sucked it up and just rode twice as hard. went from 17th to 6th before the checkered flag. MRS. NB you told me it was your first race in these scenerios. i think you did awesome and should be proud. now if you said you will be back,that's good. EWORM it was that killer chicken sandwich dude!! thanks again. SLOFORDS i think you parked in front of me. i had the white/red yfz #67 in the red f-250. last time i  read the forums posted here was friday did not know it was you. sweet looking truck though! can't wait for the next race!!!

I thought the turnout was quite lame.

For seminole, I don't think so. It should get better and better though

Settle down FTR44cRep. looks like the numbers are climbing at most races for the quads. it should only get better.

I wanted to tell him something like settle down or similar in there but I figured just let guy be, you know. But yeah I am excited about the races and the growth as far as interest goes. I know I will be racing next time. At least c class, what the hell. The only way to get better is to hit it and then hit it again and again and again!!!

That what I'm talkin 'bout!  8)

When is the next one? I heard 3 wks but have seen no information about anoth Quad race.
Next time I promise I won't try to pass on the inside for the first lap :D
(I felt like such a giiiirl :-[ )

You are a girl,'' You big dumbing''lol; but least you have enough guts to race, not like your sissy husband. I heard he holds a good purse. J/K LOL;  :wink.gif

I was really pissed I couldn't make it I was planning on it, but didn't plan on my clutches going bad and finding out how bad my heims and bottom bushings were. I will DEFINETLY be out at the next seminole race. Hopefuly I'll have better control with the new arms and race B or C

I talked to the track manager yesterday when I was there and we talked about the Sand Drag Track they are planning to put up. He said he is waiting on bugetting money to start the sand drag track. He also said that there will be more quad only races in the near future. Maybe next month he said. He also explained to me the Seminole Web site problems with getting so many hits per day that they need a much bigger server to handle it. That is why they havent be able to update the sight as much. Hopefully they will get the server problem fixed and we can get information quicker. So you people that didnt make this race, get your bike ready for the next one because they will be here sooner than you know it.

We will be back as often as money allows. We had a great time. I love that supercross track. I hope we can have a quad race on that soon.

Mike

I think I have way to many Dads or kids depending on how you look at it these days.

"If you get hurt, what do we do!"

If I can ever get in shape TRX#9  I'll pass that purse to ya on the track one day. LOL
 Im still young, I got time on my side for now, LOL

HI, My name is Bryant im 17. I was #15 On the Honda at seminole last sunday.  I thought they hosted a good show and it was a nice facility with good people. I wanted to say sorry for all those that thought i shouldve been in A class ive seen the posts in the forums about me. Ive been in B in FTR but im probably going to promote to A soon.  i was thinking on going again next weekend Hope to see people there.:X

I already been holding a purse, but I can't handle two!!! So pass it to david. lol; ???

Can you race in the "A" class at nationals??? You might want to rethink that if you cannot.

Someone told me If they find out then you will have to race "A" in nats.  I do not know this myself, just saying maybe you should look into it first Bryant. They liked your speed... good job mon'

HONDA15, we are having a FTR XC race this weekend in Madison and from the looks of your endurance you would do very good I think, you should come give it a try you will be hooked on it.... good luck and ride safe!!!

Bryant you are good man for stepping up and responding to some of the posts. I was in your class #19 on the Honda. You are a very good rider. When I said I thought you needed to be in "A" class is was not because you beat me it was because I think the only way you get better is to race with better riders. You are reaching that point after watching you this weekend and in Bartow. As soon as i get my stamina up to speed I will try to follow you when the time is right. When I get in better shape I hope I can stay near the front for the whole race and not just 75% of it. I just have to keep practicing. As far as the nationals go it is a whole different arena. The local classes are one step lower in my opinion. I know some local "A" riders that would have a hard time qualifying in an A National race. Same thing goes for "B" and so on. So some people have no choice but to ride a lower class to make the main. It may not be what they intended but the National level competition is that good from the Pro's all the way down. Bryant keep up the good work.

ive been promoting fast, this is my second season ever racing the quad it is new to me. ive been racing the dirtbike in FTR which im thinking of maybe quitting the dirtbike and go strictly to quads cause im fast i just need something better than a stock bike so i was gonna put my dirtbike money in to making a faster wider quad and then try some Nationals cause i think with training i would do ok, and Im the B rider rep for FTR if anybody needs info if they want to race an FTR motocross its alot of fun for anyone who wants to join. Anybody interested???

Pledger#76-I appreciate the invite I have homecoming for school this weekend or else id be the first one there to try it.
310R_dude--that is true i believe if you ride A in FTR you would in Nationals thats why im questioning doing that i might try B in the Quad nats at Gatorback first.
Wannago faster--i remember seein your bike on the line. Im always looking for people to pratice with that are my speed. what is your hometrack?

Honda #15 stay in "B" at least until you race Gatorback. Then you will know what you next move should be. My home Track is Seminole. My second home is Hard Rock. I have property up there and ride there about once a month. I do not know how to use the private message but if you can PM me your e-mail i can let you know when our group is going to some of the tracks around the state. we are mostly "B" and "A" riders. I will also be in Reddick next month for the FTR race.

Honda #15,
 You was impressive at Bartow and Seminole. Your stamina is very very good. If I remember right you finished 2nd at Bartow behind #86 and I believe #86 led about 11 of the 12 laps in B at Seminole but made a mistake with a slower rider which let you make the pass. Congradulations on the win and believe me I am not taking anything away from you. I just think we can all look forward to some really good races in the future between not only you two but there are also 3 or 4 other B riders that will only get better. It is going to be FUN to watch. I personally have not seen any B riders that I thought should be in A. I think the A riders had better prepare because a year of practices and races is going to produce some very fine talent for next year.
See you at the races.
Dale

Hey Bryant I watched you race Sunday and I was quite impressed to see you do so well. In my opinion you seem to ride better than some of the A racers. That is why I say you are a A racer. I motocrossed a few years ago and rode in the B class. I wasn't a B racer, but a C racer at best. I road with the B racers to get better and faster. I felt I learned more with riding with better and faster racers than what I was. By the way yo did a GREAT JOB, Congratulations !!!!
