BenBB Posted September 17, 2002 Report Posted September 17, 2002 Mine's set up for MX & TT, along with dunes, sort of all-around. My first race was last Sunday, I got 4th overall in Novice TT (2nd on first moto, 6th in second moto, Novice is like "intermediate" class), and 6th overall in Novice MX (8th first moto, 7th second moto). I got wasted on the starts in both races, was geared WAY too high, and got no traction on my worn out rear tires, but wasn't sure if I wanted to go to 18" rears or not until I had a chance to race. The next race is 10/13, just got my new Holeshot MX 18" rears so I should do a whole lot better... I would love to see quads in the X-games. Quote

recomp2 Posted September 19, 2002 Author Report Posted September 19, 2002 New England Motor Cross Race at walden and Eagle Bridge. What type of a-arms do you guys have? Quote
BenBB Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 I run Ricky Stator +2 (+5/8" forward) a-arms and Works triple rate front shocks. The rest of my setup is on my web page... I'm in New Mexico, racing at Otero County MX (they have a TT track also) in Tularosa, and if the track here in Roswell opens up again I'll race there, it's more of an SX-style track with some nice jumps. I've heard there's a track in Carlsbad, would like to check that one out, and next summer I'll hopefully race Moriarty also (they only run from like May to August). Quote
Torn66 Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 havent raced yet- but heres my setup- (in sig) re-comp and mxshee- i definetly want to start racing- whats the start up cost (memberships and stuff) to get in on ne-atvmx? and how long have you guys done it?- what class do you race? is there a novice open class (i assume thats where we would have to run)- what other bikes are in it?

Torn66 Posted September 19, 2002 Report Posted September 19, 2002 sorry heres the sig- left it out last time Quote
MX-shee Posted September 20, 2002 Report Posted September 20, 2002 Torn66, I don`t think you have to worry, you can afford it, after seeing all your toys etc... check out mx338 and Jolly rogers mx tracks they have all the details in thier web-sites. I don`t race anymore, it`s an age thing lol... I like to ride fast still though... A bunch of us guys from the forum meet up now and then and go riding, check out the riding events sometimes you are more than welcome to come and join in. This is a track in Uxbridge Mass you can go and practice on for 25 bucks a day www.uxbridgemsp.com check it out. 8) Good luck Quote
recomp2 Posted September 21, 2002 Author Report Posted September 21, 2002 I am 32 and i dont think that is too old... Keeps me in shape.... I would say I spend about 1,000.00 yearly for race entries. About 3,000.00 in repairs..... Just going by this year.... Last year alot less... Quote
