No polaris for me. I don't feel like working that hard this time. I will be in the open class.

[fastrnrik]

That's cool. You won't be the only YFZ that gets beat down 

[jayman]

Well we finally got the quads ready and we are all packed up!!!

How big is my first place trophy     I hope it is bigger than that 

[yfz122]

[fastrnrik]

Yes, the concession stand will be open.

Made it back safe and sound. Thanks for an excellent weekend of racing Dave, Brady, and everyone else that helped out. Brett, good to see you again man. 500 performed as expected for me until I had some sort of a piston failure and lost compression in the main (wasn't overtly lean, so I'm not sure what happened yet). But thanks again to everyone, hope everybody had safe and good rides home like I did.

A great night of racing thanks for the wonderful opportunity guys.  In the vet 30 class there was a bad accident in the 1st heat.  Two quads got together in the last turn and each of them hit the wall BAD.  I have it on video (most of it) and will work on posting it.  I have done pics on the forum but not videos.  Fortunately for the 2 neither of them went to the hospital, one actually tried racing the next heat.  Almost all of the quads were running in the mid 60's with only 2 quads actually hitting 70 mph.  I am glad the speeds were down today, I could not even imagine hitting 80-90!

Once again thanks for making this happen!

We'll be back!

Good Morning Brady, Shawn, Dave and all those that support SDTA

You are still one up on me Brady. My fan base of 4 were all no shows. So at least you have "hecklers". Took a few pics, not many and will post them here. Hope the riders in the quad class that found the wall are ok. Was another great day of racing and for that I THANK YOU. My wife is finding out what racing/traveling is all about now. Had a right front tire explode on the dualley on the way home.  By the time I was able to pull over we were engulfed in heavy smoke. Scared the hell out of us but other than that, all else is ok. Called AAA and while they were on the road John & Royal passed by and didn t reconize the vehicle right way and backed up almost a half mile on interstate to see if we were ok...........thats the kind of people SDTA has in its group. People that care. Finally got home around midnight. My wife looked at me and said.......you must really love racing.....(you know the answer)......DAM RIGHT!!!!!!

anyway.....THANKS AGAIN TO ALL
pics forth coming.........maybe someone can tell me how to post more than one pic per message

   Everybody,
  A huge thanks for everyone who came out and raced and all the family members who supported the racers. Also thanks to all the volunteers who helped us make it work...Rick, Liz, Jennifer, Brad, Darren, Shawn, Brady and anyone I forgot! I will post all the results from Ocala and the points-to-date as soon as possible. There were a total of 62 entries this time, 70 if we count the money class entries. The turnout gets better with each race.
  Sumter is next Saturday May 24. Registration opens at 10am, rider meeting at 11:45, practice at noon, racing at 2pm. Along with all the other activities going on at the fairgrounds, there will be a mini-concert after we finish racing and everyone is welcome to stay.

The old guys and some of the few people I can say that to. Great People. Have given me some great advice on my racing in my quest to improve. Got my sights zoomed in on the fast guys......Kurt, Shawn.....that Brantley guy.....the 59 & 18 and anyone else that kicks my butt in 08. Might have to build a smaller bike to do it.....bigger is not always better.........but is a blast trying wrestle the BEAST!!!!!. Made it to 4th gear at Ocala which was a thrill. Got in the loose stuff in coming out of turn 2 on the second lap.......was dirt track'n it feet up slid'n all the way out of the turn..........wasn 't going anywhere......everyone went underneath me,....BUT MAN!!!!!!.....what a THRILL!!!!

Dave & Brady,

So when are we coming back to race this track again? It really is a great track and I am looking forward to our next event here. It was great to be out racing again. I had almost forgotten how much fun it is to hold it down in 6th gear wide open around the turns. 


....Great job to everbody involved, we'll see you on the 24th!

[BlasterBoy#92]

That sure was some awesome racing out there. I cant wait to go back!
That wreck sure was nasty. I guess they were right about that wall coming up quick if you got out of the groove. Anyway I'm glad nobody got hurt!!!
And great job to all the racers, all in all we had fast, clean, and fun racing out there and i hope thats how it stays.
Also, great job to the other youth rider out there, i didn't get your name, but it sure was fun racing with you.  

[unforgiven]

oh,i got hurt bb. but it could of been much worse if not for my awesome dismount,i figured the fence would feel better than the wall   thanks to rick and all the people who got to my side so fast and to all the peple that helped me load that bent up beast and gave me the advil so quick.i'm really hurting bad today,but by the look on peoples faces i guess i might of dodged a bigger bullet.i think i should paint a bullseye on my back but i have to say that was fun trading back and forth with  that banshee, until mr.8 tires are better than 4 piledrived me.oh well thats  flattrackin with crazys.oh i almost forgot,if anyone has a stock axle for a  05 450r or one that will fit pm me,thanks rob.

[jayman]

Also, great job to the other youth rider out there, i didn't get your name, but it sure was fun racing with you. 

His name is Tyler and he had fun racing with you too, at least for the first 2 minutes of the race after that it wasnt even close.  He has a pipe and filter on his 400 and for that size track there was no way he could be competitive against your quad.  That thing was fast and so were you.  Great Job.  Do you run the TT Tracks also?
