I race mainly dist 7 hs with a few gnccs. i have a built warrior with all sorts of thing done. this past sunday was my first race back after being of the bike for three months due to a car accident. I had to pull off after about 1 hour because of i was in pian from my injurys from the accident and the fact that i just didn't have the energy that you need to race a 2plus hour hare scramble from hell. When i say hell i mean it. the track is called Cliff side. it has every thing you can think of with more rocks than most people will ever see in a life time. it real beats you and tha bike up. I ran the same race a week before my accident and i went for two hours no stop and felt great and wasn't hurting at all the days after. racing is alot harder than peopl think. when you get worn out you start to make bad mistakes that can keep getting worse. the number one thing that you can do to make you bike faster is make your self stronger. if ya have any questions us e-mail me.

The more you modify, the faster you'll tire. Stamina is everything near the end of a 2+ hour race.

I raced Flat track in the Georgia Flat Track League back in 1998 ,(1998 ATV Pro Champion) I quit because a friend of mine was killed on one of the bigger 3/8 mile tracks last year. I am going to start back TT racing at the nationals however since Albany,Georgia (awesome sand pit) was recently closed. I have a 1988 TRX250R with a CT250 TT "National" Kit FMF Fatty pipe and CT round silencer 40mm air stryker carb and custom Laeger swingarm with all the regular TT mods.

I race KTMXA in west tennessee and kentucky. I ride a 400ex in 4 stroke c. My mods are listed below. I've done a lot of different riding before, but moto-x has stuck with me. I love it. It gives more thrill to me riding it than any other kind. Also, most expensive type of riding I've done too. Oh well

Though Raychalp is right about racing with a stock quad in one way, racing with a stock quad is also very unsafe and can ruin your quad. After racing three races with my stock 250R I found 6 cracks in my frame that were not there before, and 2 snapped motor mounts, all from the abuse that racing has on a quad.
My quad now has a new frame, JD Performance +2 a-arms, Durablue Eliminator +4 axle, Lone Star -1 swingarm, TCS shocks, Graydon Proline nerf bars, FMF pipe, Renthal bars, Pro Design kill switch, Shredder 18-10-8 on the rear and Fast Trekker 21-7-10 fronts on Douglas .190, CEET cover, AC front bumper, and some other little things. My nerf bars, TCS shocks, and wider quad has saved me countless numbers of times. My first race with my quad restored was 3rd place out of 8 quads. Recently I have been getting 2nd's.
