Tomorrow I am planning on racing my first motocross race in Taylorsville, NC. I am going to be riding on my Stock Z250. If anybody has any tips (suspension setup, riding tips, etc), please let me know ASAP!!!!

 

Start pounding water...drink lots now and tommorow

When it gets down to it don't get to anxiouse...try to stay calm...thats the hardest part for me

My hands shake just thinking about a start

 

Does Gatorade work? I live on that stuff. And what are you talking about "when it gets down to it dont get to anxious"?.... helk, I'm already shaking[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Yah gatorade is good tonight...I like water the day of cause the sugars make me flemmy...
As far as anxiety...I let it get to me and then I don't even want to race..keep your focus


MOST IMPORTANT

HAVE FUN
if you don't have fun with it you won't want to go back

 

how long have you been riding?

 

I have been riding for 5 years, so I have plenty of riding expercience. Just none with MX. I am going to the race in about 2 hours... so if anybody else has any tips I need them quick!!!! Thanks

 

Is your quad ready

wd40 plastics for easy cleaning between rounds
even air pressure in the tires(left to right)
levers in a good position
gear all in one place and clean
tear-offs
fuel in the tank
oil checked/changed
air filter ready

 

My quad is ready. I just got it back together last night at about 7. So everything is in good order, and I just went out riding to make sure everything was working right, and it seems fine. Checked all my nuts and bolts etc... I don't have tear-off, but I guess I will just have to deal with it. My neighbor said that there are maybe 6 people in the quad class on a good night, so hopefully there won't be a whole lot of mud flying at me. 1 hour 40 minutes before its time to load up my quad...man am I nervous or what

 

I wish I was riding tonight

Have you ever been out to that track?
If you have been riding that long you'll do just fine...
Once you are on the track...take your time and make your moves count...don't wear yourself out early...when I race I"ve done MUCH better when I ride moderatly for the first couple laps and I have enough energy to make a push at the end if I need...

 

I have never been to the track before. My neighbor is going with me and he is very experianced at the track on dirtbikes as well as 4-wheelers. So I think he is gonna take my 4-wheeler out for the first run so I can watch what he does so I have some idea what to do. And then I am going to go out for the rest of the rounds.
