Well I finally did it and raced the Predator. On Sunday Sep 25 @ cycleland speedway in Chico I raced beginner class and had a blast. The course was a lot of fun and I can't wait for the next race! I placed 5th in the first moto out of nine after stalling on the holeshot then was running 5th in second moto and busted a tierod landing off a weird jump. All in all it was a blast. Special thanks has to go out to RACINJASON who helped me get my quad set up and was full of good info. He also placed 2nd overall in pro class! Nice job!

 

That's great[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Sounds like it's motocross racing. How many atv'ers were there? How often are they holding races? Not that I would race, maybe go watch[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Ya its mx style racin. If I had to guess there were probably 40 or so quads out there including the kids quads. It was a lot of fun and I will be hittin it up again oct 23.

 

Thats great. We need more MX racers here in Central Ca to support our sport.

Just a word of advise. I raced my 03 Pred 500 - The 03 and 04 have weak frames. The front on the 03 and the rear on the 04- My best bet for you is to get it gusseted if you are planning on racing MX. The weight of the bike is heavy on the thin frames. Rath hooked me up with a duplicate of the gusset he made for his bike. I haven't had any trouble with it since. I went through two frames before I got smart.

If you are interested let Daryl know that Jason Curtis #17 told you about the gussets-

Thats to bad about the tie rod - I had mine break before too -

I haven't been out to Chico yet- but would like to give it a try - You said it is the 23rd- thats a busy weekend - I maybe be at Pismo for the Enduro race on Sat and then Glen Helen on Sunday

good luck to you -
