Here it comes! FTR Quad XC racing!

mudnuri · September 07, 2006, 07:28:46 PM

I would suggest to anyone who rides but has never done one of these to try the C class first. This might hurt, but 41 would entitle you to the senior class

I know, I am right there, too

But those guys are fast! It is a safe class to be in for you because if you didn't want to be pressured you can let them leave you and ride alone.

cubnfrank · September 07, 2006, 07:45:50 PM

Senior class is fine with me. I just want to finish. I'll start looking for a kill switch. Thanks for the tips

450rutmaker · September 07, 2006, 08:12:09 PM

thanks for the advice I'll try the C class hopefully this new quad im getting will suit my needs.

RAD 450r · September 07, 2006, 08:14:35 PM

Ill be trying the C class too, see you out there

450rutmaker · September 07, 2006, 08:43:44 PM

I dont see the decible rule anywhere. What is it and how can I tell how loud my quad is?

TRX450R_Racer · September 07, 2006, 09:16:38 PM

It is 96db with a 1.5db room for error, so 97.5 will pass. If you have an aftermarket pipe that isn't specifically designed to be quiet then I can tell you without testing you won't pass.

Bring it up Frank you know you will have fun, if you have any questions give me a ring !!!

We are almost there guys, can't wait, a lot of fast riders are moving up to my class, let see how it goes with this kids this year, had a blast last season .

jujulo700R · September 07, 2006, 09:50:49 PM

Glad I stll have my stock muffler! I can't wait to see what I can do out there. It should be fun.

TRX450R_Racer · September 07, 2006, 10:12:24 PM

I tested my DR. D slip-on with my buddy db meter. I have a quiet insert in it and at about what I was guessing was over 3000rpms I was just under 98db. It will be close. I will have my stock silencer if needed.

We can all be in the Senior class together.

YFZ450-Tampa · September 07, 2006, 10:23:56 PM

I have my HMF repaqued, and I made a quite core from the stock pipe and the HMF one and it sounds really quiet, I feel a lost on power but for the woods it should be fine, I can always take it of if I go to the mx with my friends

cubnfrank · September 08, 2006, 12:03:07 AM

Luis, I'll give you a call this weekend.
Frank

mudnuri · September 08, 2006, 12:27:46 AM

I have my stock system in and it is quiet. It is all I can do to hold on in the woods!
Wait until you see the kids race. It is cool. They have their own little pee-wee track.

450rutmaker · September 09, 2006, 08:36:43 AM

No you don't. That is only is you want to participate in the points reward program.

No. hehehe
It is part of a contingency program. You sign up for it and... heck, I don't really know how it works. I know you get money towards riding gear and stuff. I think only Maxxis doles out cold hard cash and they do not sponsor us.

Yet!

There will also be a food vendor there. I understand the cook is VERY good!!

We will be arriving Friday night. Those of you wanting to do the Fun Run can camp both Friday and Saturday if you wanted to.

YFZ450-Tampa · September 09, 2006, 09:19:15 PM

well as far as I know, you don't have to be a FTR member toparticipate on the fun run, and is the same track we all race... this will give you the best idea how this HS and QS race is like

UncleRico · September 09, 2006, 09:25:02 PM

My pipe sounds like an army of Mexican Landscapers with leaf blowers.

She's a loud one, and I want an exemption in order to race with it. Who do I have to grease for that?

mudnuri · September 09, 2006, 10:00:29 PM

Unfortunately, loud pipes seem to make people mad when you are having fun. If you are working, people seem to tolerate the noise. Nontheless, if you are over the db level you will be dq'd
You are right Luis, you do not have to join or be a member to ride Sundays Fun Run.

450rutmaker · September 10, 2006, 05:52:15 PM

what all gear/equipment is needed to run this series?

atv
1-kill switch
2-number plate front and back(dont understand the letter thing)
3-under 98 db

person
1-jersey/pants
2-helmet/goggles
3-are boots a must I could have by nov but not 9-23
4-will they allow a under chest protector

Also do they do any title/reg checks

TRX450R_Racer · September 10, 2006, 06:17:53 PM

Some classes have letters attached and some don't.

A chest protector isn't madatory but it is highly recommended.

Boots are required.

No title/reg check.

DB limit is 96 with a 1.5 room for error so 97.5 will pass.

450rutmaker · September 10, 2006, 06:23:46 PM

well im sending in my reg form tomm. hopefully they will get with me before the race so I will know what #s to order. I know I need a yellow plate. Thanks for the quick reply

TRX450R_Racer · September 10, 2006, 06:28:17 PM

It will take a week to 10 days to get a number. You might or might not get that information before the race because thay are so busy with a race next weekend and on the 23rd. If you don't know what # you are before the race don't worry, there are vendors at the race that you can buy #s and letters from. Just have your # plates ready with the correct back ground and you can just stick the #s on and go.

mudnuri · September 10, 2006, 06:41:21 PM

Yeah, and you might not want to send that form by mail. Just join at sign up.
The letter thing is the class you are in. If it is the C class, 0-400 has yellow plates. You will put the letter of your class after your number
Like 48C
