BenBB Posted August 14, 2003 Report Posted August 14, 2003 Gonna be racing the TT on September 7th, first race of the season, hope to see some new people at the track!! Quote
Banshee N00b Posted August 15, 2003 Report Posted August 15, 2003 do they let you ride in white sands at all? Quote
BenBB Posted August 15, 2003 Author Report Posted August 15, 2003 I wish. Who the hell wants to walk around in the dunes anyway?!? Kermit, TX has some nice dunes, there's some small dunes East of Roswell (Mescalero Sands), there's some more around Loco Hills, NM, and I've heard of a place called "Red Sands" around El Paso, TX but never been there...

BenBB Posted August 20, 2003 Author Report Posted August 20, 2003 Hey Sheebastard, where's Santa Teresa? Sounds kinda familiar but I haven't ever ridden there... And they don't let anything on White Sands (beside foot traffic-whee), seems like a waste to me, but the dunes aren't all that huge anyway. Quote
Banshee N00b Posted August 26, 2003 Report Posted August 26, 2003 I was down in Alamagordo (Im from Portland, OR) visiting a friend in the AF and we went to White Sands...that would be a great place to tear up! Quote
ABM-Cannibal Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Hi Ben. Got to see you race on Sunday. The race I saw looked like you took 3rd. So how did you do overall. Hopefully soon I will be racing TT. Looks fun as hell. Also, why was there such a low turn out on the quads. The only races I saw and the MX track were dirt bikes. I missed the first race on the quads. Quote
BenBB Posted September 8, 2003 Author Report Posted September 8, 2003 Hey ABM-BANSHEE! It is a blast, you should definitely give it a shot. I entered the Novice class again this year, and they ran us with the Amateur class (next higher class) in TT. It was so wet on the first race I got a bad start and completely showered with roost...really coulda used some tearoffs because if I didn't have to slow down twice to wipe off my goggles I think I coulda finished 2nd or even 1st. Anyway, I took the holeshot on the second TT race and led it flag to flag, I beat everyone in my class and all the Amateurs also (they ran in our class again). I got 1st overall. There were some guys missing in the TT races, I dunno where Berti was but I talked to Matt and he didn't have his quads ready for this race (runs a Z400 and is building an LT250R). Still, pretty decent turnout I think. There was a TON of quads on the MX track, they are the first to race so you might have missed both motos (the second moto was around 2pm). At least 10-15 quads in each MX class; Beginner, Novice, Amateur and Expert. Hope you can make the next races in October (the dates are on the flyer above). If so cruise by and say hey, I'm usually at the back of the pits or in the TT staging area. Quote
ABM-Cannibal Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Ben, I left around 1:30 so I must have just missed the 2nd Moto. Congradulations on the 1st place. I am trying to sell my 1100 STXdi Jet Ski and my 300EX so I can get a Banshee. As soon as I do that, I will be there next to you. Just try not to Roost me to bad. Quote
BenBB Posted September 8, 2003 Author Report Posted September 8, 2003 Good luck ABM, hope you're racing soon... Quote
BenBB Posted October 15, 2003 Author Report Posted October 15, 2003 Just a reminder, racing this weekend in Tularosa, NM 10/18 and 10/19 if anyone can make it. Next race is November 2nd, I'll post that flyer after this race... Quote
ABM-Cannibal Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 How did you do this weekend in Tularosa? Quote
BenBB Posted October 21, 2003 Author Report Posted October 21, 2003 I got first overall on Saturday (2nd in the first race and 1st in the second race)...but Sunday didn't go too well. I placed second again in the first race but finished 4th in the second race for 3rd overall. The track was REALLY dry but I made a couple mistakes that cost me the win. On the first lap I overcooked the hairpin and fell from 2nd to 7th (dead last), I worked my way up to 3rd but took that same hairpin too slow and Davis slipped past. Oh well, live and learn I guess, just sucks when it's your own fault. Another buddy showed up this weekend, Jesse, who was racing an LT250R last season...we had a nasty wreck on the last race and it pretty much trashed his quad. He's OK but hasn't found a frame for it yet. Anyway, I let him race mine in the Beginner class and he got 1st on the first race and 3rd on the second one for 2nd place overall (the dry track was tough on him too). You gonna try to make the next race ABM? Quote
