Sorry, no pics of the kids. We were right where the one kid crashed on his blue trinity quad. I still remember his face as he was rolling and the quad rolled right on top of him. It was dureing practice I think. He layed there for a long time before they resumed. He got up and walked to the ambulance by the way.

Just uploaded the pic of the guy that crashed on the Z400. Its on the last page, last picture.

 

the kid that chrashed was Ellis Anderson, he was fine after a little rest and he raced on the pee wee track and got 1st my son finnished right behind him

 

Some of the begginers were a little better than you'd think for a begginer. But, it may have been one of their first times racing, doesn't mean they didn't know how to ride. I wouldn't mind entering a begginer race. I wouldn't be jumping the way most do but I could ride around the track and have fun.

I have an 11 year old son (for those that haven't seen my videos) that has an LT80, from what I saw he could win on that track with it. Whats the rules and regs for the quad and rider? Safety equipment etc. TIA

PS. He'd rather ride the Raptor but they and I won't let him race on that. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

there was 2 other kids out there on LT 80s Steven and Artie they got 2nd and 4th on the big trackthey are around 9 to 11yrs old i think

 

David,

It would be great to have more kids out there to race. Recommended items for the ATV include nerfs, tether connected to rider, glass lights removed, standard race gas only and number places on the front and rear of the machine. Most of the kids that were there for the 1st race usually race with each other. I think that after El crashed, most of the kids got spooked. The next race is another story.

 

Thanks Raptor 720.

Would've liked to have met you. Maybe next time.

From the look on his face it was a bit scarry for him. It was scarry for me and he wasn't even my son. My 11 year old soon to be 12 rides hard and fast. He loves my Raptor and jumps better than me. He tears it up on that LT80. Its an 88 and beat up, I don't think it would be worth investing in nerfs for him to race it. Maybe if I came across a set cheap.

Do you know who was on the winning quad? It was a kawasaki I think. Fixed up. Extended axle/Aarms and shocks. Thats what all young peoples quads should be like. IMO

 

That was a copy of a Roll Design chassis with a KX85 motor. Our air cooled 90s smoke it but there is no substitute for suspension. Lori said she was going to fix that table top so that the landing on the one side was better. Seems that people were not squaring off the turn when they started their flight. I watched many people almost eat it there.

Lori also said that as soon as the SX series is over, she will make a 125 and down ATV friendly track for the kids. Way more than the Pee Wee track but less than the Vintage track. She was very happy with the turn out and thought that the ATV people were very very nice. To me, Glen Helen is the place. After all, most of the ATV industry is out here -- we should also have the races!


Bring the kid for round two!!!! Ask Mike Marion at AC if he has a set of nerfs. They are not required but it is a good idea. We need more fast kids. It is hard to grow without competition.

Next race have Josh, Smitty or Cory look me up.

 

Very cool. I thought that jumps landing was off a bit to. Lots of people were having trouble with it. Thats good that they will make it better.

KX85, does it have gears? Cause it sounded like it was going to blow up coming down the hills. So did some of the LT80's, they must have removed a couple of the weights in the clutch. I only use 4 in my sons LT80. And it tops out pretty fast but, climbs better and he can pull wheeies with a tug on the bars. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

If I see cory or John I will ask them to introduce us next time. Thanks for the info and insight.

Later,
David

 

John, you are Raptor 720. Never knew. Your Kasea 90 is one fast as$ quad. Killer how your son crashes hard and comes back to win. There is a kid that won't be wearing a dress later on.
