I think that more people should be in this forum. Racing. I mean, youd think all the peeps that race would at least be on here. Well then i wanna give props (cheesy term, but lack of something else) to all my fellow racers out there that use it cause its really helpful to me.

 

Only about 1% of the people in this forum race. Most people are more content with just arguing about which machine is faster, rather than going out and proving it. Which is fine.

I used too think I was a great rider. Then I started racing, and it opened my eyes too what is actually out there. I am now a much better rider.

I too, would like too thank everyone for the helpful advice that I have picked up from this forum.

 

One thing i love about racing my quad, is that it seperates the singers from the bringers (LOL). If you race that means you have the ***** to go out there and try your hardest. No matter win or lose, at least youre out there giving it your all. Right guys?

 

I love racing my ATV have been doing it for 3 yrs now an can't wait for next spring now to start all over agine. We have 20 race here where i am an have 4 classes of quads.

i have been racing for 11 years now and the saying if your not crashing your not going fast enough ...ok for real racing is the best thing anyone can do ....racing is even good when the family gets involved !!!!!

 

I've been racing for about 10 years on both 2 and 4 wheels. I find that while trail riding is enjoyable, racing is a passion. If you guys are like me, trail riding with your friends is fun, but, you have to wait around alot and let them catch up

BTW, any of you 400 riders got to ride a Raptor yet? I've got two friends getting them in the JAN/FEB timeframe and I'm looking forward to comparing it to my 400. Just wondering if any racers had any insight on whether or not it was going to be a good race quad. I never really cared for the Banshee, it was fun in the open but didn't handle to my liking in the tight stuff.

I have been MX racing for the last two years. This past summer I finished a race ready 250R. Now I can not wait for next year. We added a new track and doubled the race dates.

Your right though, trail riding is fun, but racing is a passion. You either have it in you or you do not.

 

I have only raced 2 times.I used to think I was awesome until my freind brian lapped me!!Anyway racing is fun.My main prob is after the race is over.MY dad yells at me all the way home!Which is like 3 hours.So that ruins everything."you didn't do what I told you to at the gate""I told you to lift weights didn't I"I know he is only trying to help but he doesn't have to yell all the time.


My bike is ready but my body isn't.Another thing is alot of people in here don't own there bikes.(myself included)So there parents don't want them tearing there atv's up or risking there lives.I did have fun last time I raced though.I finished both moto's and got the holeshot the 1st time.
