OH.. Another thing I forgot to say, I took my Camelback but it got so packed up with mud that I ended up not drinking too much of it..

 

Dirtgirl,
Is this the race you DNF'd because your clutch cable became so clogged with mud you couldn't pull the lever?

I can't imagine that large a number of quads. Out here, the ATVs are all lumped into a single class (with pros and beginners together). The motorcycle clubs run the ATV class as much as a courtesy as anything else.

I think if there was that much interest, we'd have to definitely have our own organization and series. I also think that there are more utility quads in Utah than anything else. Nobody runs a utility class race that I know of... I think if organizers had one and made it easy to run stock utility quads, there would be a lot of participation, just for the fun of it.

Sandgod,
I believe 3TV took 16th. Pretty good I'd say. Maybe he'll post a report.

Yeah that be the race I was in.. I wasn't the only DNFer.. i believe there were like 34 people in my group that didn't make it and something like 28 in the afternoon race...

 

hey mark it was me not sandgod. and unfortunatley i was the one on the ground in everybody's way. I still don't know exactly how i got there. I don't know if i hit another quad or if someone hit me or maybe i hit some sage brush? who knows. that is how bad the dust was. you could barley see past the front of your quad. Well that's about all i have to say about the race. Mark pretty much summed it up. Im not sure exactly what place i took but i bet it was in between 15-20.

 

Man now i am inspired by you all to start racing myself, im looking in the GNCC utility unlimited class i to ride a KFX 700 V-Force and am 15. Will they let me race even though I am 15, and has anyone have any info about that particular class? What quads race in it? and any other helpful hints to get started in a racing series i would greatly appreciate it.

 

The V-Force is eligible for the Utility Unlimited Class (for automatic tranny quads without racks), as well as the standard classes such as First Year Racer, the 4-Stroke Novice Classes, 4-Stroke Stock, Open A and B, 4-Stroke A and B, and Pro and Pro Production. Go to http://www.gnccracing.com/gnccfaq.html for lots of info.

 

I want to start racing some time, im 15 and will probably some time inbetween now and next year. i would go in the novice class with probably a 88' 250r, I'm wondering what kind of mods could i do? (wanting to put powervalve motor, pipe etc.) And i looked at the GNCC website and they have no tracks even NEAR my area.. i would have to drive out of state which i dont want to do, Their is the washougal mx track but i want to do more of a trail riding event.

 

did you happen to check out the race schedules over on my website? I have listings for all sorts of races in a bunch of different places...

well thanks for the site dirt girl but i didn't find any here in washington or oregon. I do know a place around here that is all trails and some old logging roads that they hold poker runs there that cost $15.00 but i read on their website that they have it shut down November 1st to April 1st !!!! that really sucks. so i dont know what they will do.
