i cant wait for this race....
i am either going to be in the 4 stroke novice or the 250 - 450 2/4 stroke class....
not sure yet
is anyone else looking forward to Rd. #4
and who is all going?!

Posted by: esr250r86

Cool! I am most likely going to be there running the 250-450 2 & 4 stroke novice class also! I want to run this class because there is more races which makes it more fun. Where are you from Hanes15?

Posted by: Hanes15

idk what class to run... they both get different numbers each round.....

I will most likely be there as well.

Has anyone been to the taft,ca track? If so how was it? What does the track mostly consist of?

Posted by: hanes17

the track does not have that many jumps...
its mainly lots of long sweeping turns with a couple switch backs..
they have a pretty big table and a big step up.. other than that its a lot of fun....
the track is really wide and you can pass almost anywhere...
the start is plenty long as well....
hope to see you there

Cool, how big is the table top? How long does it take someone like a pro to complete one lap? Is it hard packed?

Posted by: 04exking

Cool I will probably be there if I find out how to get my bike up there because my car is going downhill.

Posted by: esr250r86

You could ride with me if you want. I have some room in my trailer.

Posted by: 04exking

Alright cool Thanks I will stay in contact with you.

Posted by: Hanes15
