Who's all going to the FL race in March?

Posted by: mills_racing

cant wait to get their. didnt race it last year because i picked up at steele creek but i hear its nothing but whoops.

Posted by: dj400ex

yeah, thats what i hear too.. im still debating on going or not leaning towards going though.

Posted by: scramblerracer

DJ- what class will you race? I would love to see you do very good at the GNCC races this year. I imagine we will see you in the magazines in a few years like we see Borich and Ballance. Good luck! Josh

Posted by: dj400ex

i dont know what i'll run, and i hope i do good to. why haven't you been in the hillbillies lately?

Posted by: Lil - Braff

I'll be there!!! Starting on the front line in the women's class! I was there last year but didn't get to race. Be prepared for hot weather and whoop city! The turns get rutted out pretty good too.

remeber guys, the sand sucks power! you will use at least an extra gallon of gas than you would at a normal gncc. i would plan on pitting twice!
last year i used a gallon a lap on a blaster, i would assume the 450's will use even more than that

Posted by: Cdaleracer

I'll be there- just to watch though!!!

Com'n LIL race the Sport Class you'll have a better finish.

I will be there supporting my brother I am not old enough yet

but he is getting parts like crazy to get ready for the GNCC's for his 06 450er

he raced the 16-24 1st year racer last year and was first the 1st and 2nd lap but finished third

He will more than likely be on the 16-21C class line he has been on his road bike and trainer alot and I think he will have something for them this year he is very tuff and has very good endurance and is like an Ironman I sure hope he does good all he needs is to get all his parts in to get some seat time

see you all there
and at the Georgia, and S.C GNCC hopefully

Posted by: hondaboy400ex55

ill be there but i wont be racing just to watch

Posted by: dj400ex

cool cool, I think I'm stayin somewhere around Daytona and driving in Sunday, I'll probably race the C (16-21) class again.

I would but I wanna step up to the 400 and I don't want it to happen in the middle of the season and be stuck between the classes. Know what I mean?

By the way... this is Lil.

I heard about your great finish this weekend in the Hillbilly race. I wish I could have been there. I haven't been on the quad since the westphalia hillbilly. 2 crashes on 2 starts made me rethink the hillbilly racing. I am not as flexible as I used to be. I will be at the Cassville Nationals Hillbilly and then all of the MHSC races. Good luck in the GNCC- show them how fast a young guy can be. Later Josh

Do ya'll have any tips for a newbie? I've never been to a XC race before and don't really know what to expect. My bike is setup for MX but I have the stock 20/22" tires to put on. I'm about 48" wide in the rear and 50" in the front. I know this isn't really a good setup for XC but I heard you can get away with it at this track.

Posted by: dj400ex

it is like whoops and tree roots and more whoops from what i hear...

I plan on being at Florida and staying a week and heading to Georgia on my way home back to Michigan. Can't ride here at all, so I definately will be out of shape

you'll be fine at the florida track, in fact, having mx suspension might not be a bad idea for all the whoops! this track isnt like any other, you'll be just fine with your LT-R. just back, click it into 5th gear and HOLD ON! lol

Hey this is justin kosmer i will be coming down from cental pa with tyler lenig i will be racing 4 stroke B... tylers running pro am

Dj Shrum

Posted by: scramblerracer

Go get them DJ. Good luck- be careful, you have a full MHSC year to race also. Later Josh

Posted by: B.A.

well i was going to run 4-stroke B but it sounds like its going to be a little full, just about everybody on the sight is saying they are running B, may have to go to A.. here i come SUMMERS

Posted by: h-bomb450R

hey guys,

well im makin my way out to florida for my first gncc in a couple days. im kinda wondering about what class i should race though. In the ATVCCS in texas i run open A and get 1st and 2nd most of the time and then ive ran the PRO class in the OCCRA series in oklahoma and placed 2nd. I think running a B class would be sandbagging, but i just dont know how fast tha nationals are. which class is faster? OPEN A or 4-STROKE A???

thanks

Austin

Posted by: bradley300

last year i think four stroke was faster. check out the lap times at www.gnccracing.com

I saw you there lil Braff on the track but not in the pits

Posted by: prepracing

well it was awesome weather......as for the track, I hate 12 miles of sandy whoops ( well maybe 11 miles there was that little field section ) and that 3 hump jump or obstacle was pretty interesting glad I didn't have to go over it in the morning, cause looked like some of the afternoon guys really had fun on it

Posted by: mills_racing

how did everyone do? 2nd in C 16-21 and 11th overall for me.

Posted by: trx400exxracer

my brother got 6th in the 16-21 c class and 23 overall

he had to work his way back up because somebody got tangled up on the start and he ran in to thembut he started charging on the last lap after he stopped for water

but watch out in GA you will be in his territory thenand expect him to be ready

it might have been him but it coulda been somone else because he was between 2 polaris's

he got 11th and somewhere around 40th overall but he owes me $45 for my bumper he snapped one of the tubes on the prm summit bumper he borrowed from mehe said he smacked someone hard

Posted by: mills_racing

yeah a kid on an outlaw got inbetween us. I didnt have a good start at all....my kill switch was off and when the green flag was thrown it took me 2 kicks to figure out why i wasnt starting.

Posted by: trx400exxracer

yeah like I said my brother cut my prm bumper, lost his rear #-plate his pipe came off the bracket and his end cap had a good crack in it he was banging alot of stuff

Posted by: mills_racing

some guy on a yellow 250x bent my pipe up pretty good...it was a very fast track.

Posted by: dj400ex

Well i discussed it with a couple people that had been in the scene a long time including harlen and a few others and they all seemed to think i should stay another year and go for it so i took there advice.

Posted by: sspalco

the 4 stroke B class is pretty big class, and they have a couple of sandbaggers in there. Lots of competition and lots of fun though. I am glad DJ decided to race the 4 stroke B class just for the experience this year.

It is sure doin him some good to get off of Missouri ground and try his hand at tracks that are sooo different than anything he has ran before. But I can say that the peeps at the MO races are closer. I mean everybody has been so friendly at all the races but the MO people seem to stick together.

Hey who seems to be a sandbagger in the 4 stroke b class... so far this season i think the Racers are really equal... the b riders ride with a very fast pace but i think it would be a lil faster if we started infront of the stock and vet class
