yea ive been readin up on the ftr series. ive done   a bunch or fast trail ridin  but never raced. ive also messed around on  mx tracks. ive been off  my quad for awhile because i took it back to  nc because i just never really rode it  down here but im lookin  into pickin up a  new yfz and start back to ridin. from talkin to some  racers at vero  florida  is one of the  hardest places to ride because of how  whooped out it gets so fast. i can keep up with my bud back home in  the woods with him  250 r and  hes been finishing in atleast the  top 20 of all his races this year, as long as he don't break. so hopefully with practicing here in the   sandy whooped out mess of florida i can  do well everywhere else. i want to be back on a sport and ridin   some trails  by december  but well see i want the 08  se yfz   but only lookin to spend  7g so i might settle  on a  base model.

Welcome to the board. Come on out and have some fun with us at the races. What's your buddys name that races?

[floydamus]

he races  all the can am gncc events his name is  will  can't  think of his last name   right now for some reason.  he from back home in NC. rides a   old red 250r and gets the damn job done  he was  in Pa last weekend and  hit a rock  bent his skid plate and  broke his  chain. he'll be in NY this weekend. I'm also   going to be looking for someone to maybe   ride  to some of these out of state events with. IL probably going try to hit  5 of the   main stream gncc event next season. Ive been apart of the site almost a year and a half  rode for a bit down  here  with my  kfx400  didn't like the riding as far as mx but like the decent  trail systems  so i  took the bike back to NC to my parents to  have one to ride there when  visiting.  but   since i  got some good freind racing gncc and i like the sport I'm going to try my hand  at it as well.

floydamus amungamus, welcome to FL!
Not too many places to ride where I live(none), but I imagine there is a lot more over where you do.
What class in the GNCC would run? I did two this year and it was awesome. I just can't afford to do any more.
The FTR races will be a lot of fun. Now we have our ownquad only series. As of now, you can still run the hare scrambles, too. So there is a TON of riding to be had if you want it.
You have a local club over there with a lot of really cool people in it. I thnk they have private land they ride weekends on. Sarasota Area Quad Riders.
Those 08 KTM's look pretty good and are getting good reveiws. The YFZ is still Top Dog, though. For now. Don't now what I was thinking when I thought I'd switch back to Can-Am??

Hey floydamus,

Welcome to the board.

I belong to Sarasota Area Quad Riders.  We're a small club but we have alot fun.  We are currently working on the land where we are going to hold our November 17th race.  If you're interesting checking out our club I can PM you with some info.

[floydamus]

We are a different club from Sarasota Area Dirt Riders (SADRA).  SADRA is mostly dirt bike guys and galsand they are a pretty good sized club.  We are mainly a quad club, though we welcome dirt bikes as well. SADRA is putting on a Quad Scramble in Myakka City, I think the date for their race is Dec. 2nd.  So if you join them and become an active member and participate helping them prep for their races you'll get some ride time and earn they're respect as a 'quad' guy.

Of course you could join SADRA and Sarasota Area Quad Riders get to ride even more.  Club membership is cheap!!

Some items to put on your list of goodies for your new quad if you are going to race in FTR are a tether kill switch and if you are going to change the stock exhaust for an aftermarket one you have to run a spark arrrestor silencer and meet the 96 db sound limit.

This will be my second season in FTR and the quad scrambles are ton of fun.  The people that race in the quad series are some of the best folks you'll ever meet.  Hope you see you out there.
