Do I need a number plate? Im gonna order a kill switch later this week. Any other tips from u racers? Im really pumped about the race in east tx next year.. Thanks

 

ha ha dude you already have what you need... a v-force. dominating its class in the GNCC. how many races does the v-force have to win before it gets its props?

 

All you need is a kill switch. They will put a bar code on your helmet and a number on the back of your helmet that is color coded for your class level.

I would highly recommend that you come with full gear. Some dudes out there were riding in jeans and tee shirts. Not a good idea. Also, bring a spare set of goggles (they get really muddy). If you happen to have a spare set of wheels and tires, bring them as flats are not uncommon. I didn't wear a chest protector and took some pretty brutal rock roost to the chest. I will not make that mistake again.


Other than that I will offer one nugget of wisdom that I wish someone would have shared with me. If you get to a really really steep hill, let the guy in front of you clear before going for it. If the guy in front of you doesn't make it, your screwed. I busted my **** and my Force and it sucked so bad that I cannot begin to tell you. Some others may disagree, but it is better to lose a few seconds on a lap than to be done for the day (or maybe even get hurt).

Good luck.

 

I don't see that you have a front bumper...a very good idea.
Like this.
Or this.

And just remember to have fun. Have any idea of your class you would like to run?

 

TRX500 is right about the bumper. My Pro Armor bumper saved me in one race. If I had my stock one on, I would not of finished the race. Those trees don't move much.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

Thanks alot for the replys guys. I just got a full riding gear package off buykawasaki.com(damn good times card, lol), i just bid on that bumper on ebay too(thx trx500). I really appreciate the help. Anything else guys? Im going to enter into the first year racers class, unless theres something better for me to race in.

 

Class depends on how many quads you like starting with you. Me I like as few as posibble(Utility Unlimited) I know there is no chance ever for me to win in that class, but I like just getting out there and having fun. I have 2 nephews racing that class this year who are out of sight after the first 1/2 mile, but GE4x4 and me raced together at Powerline Park and followed each other for 2 laps, and I had a blast. We rode about the same speed, and it was fun.

 

So what class would you recommend me race in? I have been riding all my life and consider myself a expereinced rider. Only racing I have done is motocross.

 

V700
I would run in the utility unlimited, i run this class also. There are not as many riders in the class and you will have good riders around you while racing. The one thing i would get would have to be hand guards, i receive race support with Cyrca, i run the ATV Probend Racer pak. My hands have been saved many times by them, they work great. Good luck.

 

nerf bars are almost a must in GNCC. keeps other peoples wheels out of that nice space. not to mention trees [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] i've also used mine to slap/guide me around some tight sections.
