sand mountain rocks!

dudek38 · January 17, 2006, 04:52:51 AM

i went to sand mountain sunday with my family and about 20 friends from the keys. 4 of us raced tt open beginner. i raced (didnt do well), but it was fun. also the whole place rocks. there are awesome hillclimbs, a bunch of sand trails, sweet mx track, drag strip and a cool peewee track for the youngins. the staff are super nice, like nothing i've ever seen. they dont break your balls about anything, which makes the difference for me. overall a super sport bike paradise., A+ there needs to be one of these places in south florida. we drove 4 hrs. each way which sure took its toll on me.

Glad you liked SM. Sunday was one of the best turn outs so far. Everyone in the SM family are great. They have a great place there.

dudek38 · January 17, 2006, 04:02:42 PM

#74 crf250r · January 17, 2006, 04:09:56 PM

a rumor has it in the near future they will have lights.

come on Pat make it happen.

WOODY_450r · January 18, 2006, 03:01:39 AM

I have to agree....i went tout there with a 97 warrior and still had a blast!!!!!! Best place ever

Chris505 · January 18, 2006, 03:15:44 AM

is a kill switch required

??
I would like to come out and check it out within couple weekends..
Me and my son probably will want to check out the mx track and maybe race.
But my wife has a suzuki ltz250 and she would probably just ride the trails and some medium hill climb
and maybe run the track for fun

I heard there will be some really good hill climbers at Sand Mountain on the 29th. Just a rumor so far.

Ride1Rob · January 18, 2006, 01:34:20 PM

Yeah... It is a SUPER place to ride. They actually learned from the few mistakes of last year to make that place an even BETTER place this year. It has grown tremendously since then also. They are definitely an A class group of peeps that do their best to make everyone happy. The state should pass a law that it be at least one place like this every 50 miles

dudek38 · January 18, 2006, 11:36:45 PM

it looks like im going on the 29th. there is another tt race that my friends are going to enter. im gonna skip it. the tt races are sweet to watch and brings a big crowd. that would be sweet if we get a bunch of hill climbers there. i like it when others do something difficult, makes me do it too. plus id like to drag race another modified z400.

Me and some friends are planning a trip spring break to sand moutain
an need some info can you ride the mx track and tt track and not race what about the trails

thanks

dudek38 · January 19, 2006, 04:11:29 AM

im pretty sure you can do both as long as its not a race day. the trails are pretty cool, they're pretty open sand hill trails. not that many, but good for a facility such as sand mountain. go on sandmountainspeedway.com

UncleRico · January 19, 2006, 04:50:08 AM

Does anyone have directions to this place, how much does it cost, and is it just racing or is it open to recreational riders?

Whiterider · January 19, 2006, 05:00:13 AM

I went for the first time Sunday as well I liked it alot, though I wish I tried the tt track out...........I was the newb with red 400ex I only saw 2 of them there.

dudek38 · January 20, 2006, 03:23:48 AM

i remember you, your 700 was in stock fashion, right? is it easy going up on a stretched bike?

YAMAHONDAMAN · January 20, 2006, 01:00:29 PM

VERY,VERY Easy !!! the stretch keeps the front down when them BIG Paddles are working ..but other than sand drag's ...thats all its good for..the Rappy was stock..3rd gear goes up them hills pretty good ...

2006YFZ450 · January 20, 2006, 08:57:54 PM

I saw you switched your rear tires around

How does the rappy climb the hill???

I should of climbed it when I had my Raptor

YAMAHONDAMAN · January 21, 2006, 12:42:36 AM

it climbed pretty good when "lugged" in 3rd gear...my stretch on the other hand was only in first..
