I havent been to the TQRA track in a few years. How is the track this year? Do they still have that big goofey step up jump? When does everyone go and practice there? I need to spend a little time out there before the next race. Brad, what track are you at on your web page? That looks like a sweet track. I live in Cleburne and there is no where to practice around here. How come none of you guys come to the Lake Whitney races. That is one hellofa track. They are letting the quads race up the mountain this year. It is fun as hell. It just adds about a mile of track. We liked to have died after four laps on the fouth of July weekend race. We told them the quads probley need to make a few less trips around the track. The bikes really put some ruts down. You guys will have to come and race there.

I was the only red and yellow Banshee there so it was prolly me.

One of the tracks on my site is at Sherman/Denison, but it is now changed (more of a motorcycle track). And the other one is at Celeste. It is a nice track. Caddo Point has two step-ups now. The one that you remember is easy now, but the other one is huge(I dont hit it).I will tell you(hondatrx300ex) when they are going to have another motorcycle and quad event. I dont know now, but i will tell ya when I find out. I think the TQRA races are better they get over with faster, the bike kinda get boring after awhile
Oh yea, notice my new profile.

 

what other step up is there besides the one after the finish? that one is tall. you don't do it? what class is that you were racing? it was like almost all shee's. maybe today or tomorrow I can get out there and practice. do you do that big double over by the starting gates? I think that big step up and that one by the starting gates are gonna be the ones that are gonna take some time for me. anyways see ya

 

Thanks,
Where is the track in Celaste. Are you going there any time soon? If you are I would like to meet up with you there so I wont be the only quad around. If you would let me know. The track I saw on your site had big smooth jumps. Not a lot of trees around. I dont know which one that is but it looks sweet.

There is anouther step up about in the middle of the track. But the pro's make it into a tabletop. I dont do the big step up, big double, or the 2 other smaller doubles. I had a bad crash on a double one time. I do the small forgiving ones, but I am working on doing the bigger ones. I raced in the open Am. I came out in 4th. I am in 2nd overall, I think i am going to be in 1st after Saturday. My name is Brad Coonrod, so you can see it on www.serve.com/tqra

You can go to www.badlandsmx.com to get the directions to the Celeste track. They do not have the next race planned yet.

 

Oh yea, was you there when the guy on the Banshee wrecked on the big step up. He was in 3rd adn I was in 5th when it happened. that is the first time I have ever seen a race be red flagged.(stopped)

 

I was at Caddo Point sunday practicing, I was on a red 250RX conversion, riding with a white 250R, there werent any other quads there besides the owners kid and 2 400ex's I cracked my swing arm trying to make that step up into a table top "like the pros" I plan on racing there aug 6 In the blaster/350cc class I want to meet some of you there to practice

 

Hey! I am ready to go get some time in on that track before the August race. Let me know when everyone is going. Do you call Joe before you go? Let me know.

I have got to get me a swing arm before I can go, It might take me a while to get $500 smakers together so... I might still race teh aug 6th race with a cracked swing arm and if it breaks to hell with it I am getting a new one anyways, I will get back to yall on a practice time when we can all meet

 

is it just me or do the owners sons haul azz? yesterday they were taking turn doing heelclickers and stuff off that big double over by the starting gates. then I was acting stupid and just kinda hopped it and threw my feet off and stuff. everybody started laughing. so which one are ya'll talking about making into a table top like the pros do? yesterday was the first day I've ridden it, its a fun track.I got all the jumps down except that big step up and the double by the start. I finally got the double before the whoops and the whoops down pretty good. so when does everyone wanna meet up out there? well anyways hope to see ya'll there......I'll be #3 on a 300ex. later
