Nightime Team XC Race - Suggestions wanted.....

[Paul_S]

Just wanted to figure out what you guys thought about a nightime Team XC Race.

I was thinking about doing it the Sat night of our Dec 10th~12th feature.

Not sure of the format, I am open to suggestions, I was leaning toward either a 4 hour grown up race with teams of 2, (and a separate 1 hour kids...which I could run before or even at the same time) or doing a 3 hour Team Race with one kid and one grown up, the kid would run a short lap north of the int track, head back to the staging area, hand off to the grown up, who would do a lap of the 7 mile loop and just keep going between the 2 for 3 hours.

First off...any interest...second off any suggestions?

most race bikes dont have lighting... I think it would be fun though for adults. Just hope that skunk ape dont show up

I need a teamate!!!!!!

It might be fun to do a lap around each track then 7 mile loop and back to the tower  just throwing something out there im sure that would finish me off see who can do the fastest time without spilling their beer no wait see who comes back the least beer

That would be fun, but as the park is open for general riding too, we need to keep it in a confined area.

I think I am leaning towards doing the kid/adult and adult/adult as one big race, just have to make the kid area take the same amount of time as the adult in the loop..which is about 12-15 minute lap times.

Not that complicated, doing it that way it is just a team, be it adult/adult or kid/adult, and neither has an advantage. Only real advantage is who has the 525 on their team    Gonna be strapping some l.e.ds to the Outlaw for this one. Training starts next week.

F.U.R, I actually filled up the clutch reservoir with the baby laxative today. I think we found the leak, a bolt had come out of the bottom assembly. Let's see how it does. You coming over to practice one night, we want to borrow lunchbox to figure out the timing of the kids route....hmmm actually the hondahhh of yours goes so slow (rider???) we could just time you 

[snackpac74]

hummm a night trip.....  Have to think about that one.

My team is not going to be revealed..... You should try this out Paul, that way if your teamate doesn't show you can ask someone else and no one will be the wiser...

LOL, yeah I'm learning. I got me a team member in mind for this, but I am keeping quiet.

[08KFX450r]

So is it adults or kid and adult?

[Chillinthemost]

I just thought of a problem. I am a sissy when it comes to the cold, the heat is never a problem, I work in it and am used to it. I dont like being cold and December in north Fl. can be COLD

[Andy9933]

It's not cold up there in December. 

[Paul_S]

LOL frosty 

OK the race is going to just be teams, you can be 2 adults, or an adult and a peewee. All competing in the same class together.

We are going to make it so there is no real advantage/disadvantage to having a kid on your team...or having 2 adults on your team.

We are going to run the adults on a 13 minute loop and find a way to have the kids run a loop (a separate loop) that also takes the average peewee 13 minutes (it might be that they do 2 shorter (6-1/2 min runs) per single adult run.

[JECKELS]

This should be very interesting. "LIL Eckels" is looking forward to this more than I am.
