i am going to a hare scrambles race in Mio Michigan and i was wondering if it is like MX style or more like cross country?

 

does anybody know what kind of race this is?

 

A harescramble is a cross country race.

While every course is different, they are typically tight and wooded. Some courses include an MX section, but the bulk of the race will be in the woods.

 

WHO WHAT WHERE WHEN!?!! TELL ME! I wanna race!

 

I second that! I would like to know where and when this race is? I ride at Bull Gap near Mio all the time. I also race most of the GNCC races. If you are not familiar with them, they are kind of like a national harescramble series.

To answer your question, a harescramble is a tight woods course. Some of them have a part of a motocross track in them, but as mentioned earlier, it is mostly tight wooded trails. The courses are usually anywhere from 6 to 12 miles long, and you race for 1 or 2 hours, as many laps as you can get in that time. The nationals have a separate class for utility quads, and I am pretty sure that the local races do also. But all the quads race on the track at the same time. They keep score and sort out classes electronically.

Please let us know the info on this race!

look in the may or june issue of atv action and it has a whole list of all the races. i know the one in mio is some time in june. i will look for sure when i get home from school and post it. how do you guys sign up for the races? i would have to be in the utility class, with slight mods. i want to get started racing. how old do you have to be? i am 16.

 

are there different classes in hare scrambles for machine size, or is it all different quads jumbled up in one big race ??? i just got an 03 blaster and after break in i plan on going to a hare scramble sometime.
(and do they have to be STOCK?)
