I haven't started my Cannondale in over a month so I decided to put the fuel tank back on and start her up. I hit the start button once w/o the clutch to get the fuel pump goin, then pull in the clutch and tap the start button again and I could tell from the sound it made that it still didn't have enough pressure and fuel (been sitting for a month) and then I just tapped the start button a second time and it fired up. I was seriously stunned at how fast it revved. I honestly forgot that the C-dales had such good throttle response. I had to force myself to shut it off again because revving it up was just so addictive. DAMN, I miss riding! I'll be ready to go soon though... maybe soon enough to catch the next Fernwood race!

 

I had mine parked for about a mounth and got the same feeling when I finally cranked it up.I was smileing from ear to ear.

I hope you can make one of the Fernwood races.You will meet alot of nice people,and have alot of fun.

 

Yeah, once I get my **** together and get a better job, things will be lookin up. Actually they already are! You'll be seeing me in Louisiana sometime not to long from now Special. I've been wanting to race at some of the tracks over there where you ride. If I can talk atleast one of my 3D racing team members into going to Fernwood, I'll be there. But I just don't want to have to pay for gas by myself and I don't like going to any tracks by myself incase I get hurt and can't drive back.

 

Yea I know the money thing.I wana get out there to Texas by you
hopefully some time.How many quads yall usually have on a race day?

 

A few of the TQRA races had over 100 quads. The last race at Badlands MX had over 50 quads (maybe over 60) and it wasn't even an all quads race! Most of the time there is usually about 20-30 + quads at every race... w/ there being about an average of 15 in the amature class and 10 in the Pro class. Badlands has a Novice, Intermediate, and Pro class and the intermediate and Pro class usually have numbers up in the teens in each of the classes, and the Novice class usually is getting close to 30.

To say the least, we usually have some GOOD turnouts of quads over here. Especially here recently. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I'm more than stunned.

 

that's what happens when you have fuel injection

 

Carl - haha, ok, I guess I was askin for that one. But I wasn't stunned that it would start, I was stunned at how fast it revs... it's been to long since I've heard a REAL quad run. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Why weren't you at Fernwood? You gonna be there at the next race in October?
