kenz · December 10, 2006, 06:00:16 PM

Hey all you utility and sport quad riders come out and be a part of the action at Quad Scramble #4 presented by the Sarasota Area Quad Riders. This will be the second QS held at the same property. This piece of land is awesome.

If you have never raced before come out and do it. Try it once and you'll be hooked. Every Quad Scramble so far this season has been a blast and this one will be no different. All the events are friendly, family oriented with alot of good racing so don't be afraid, you'll just be missing out on great time!!

All that is required is a tethered kill switch and to become a member of the Florida Trail Riders.

Thanks for the link.
Seems all I need is $, a number plate, and a kill switch. I'd like to try it.....

kenz · December 12, 2006, 06:56:18 PM

It will be the most fun per dollar spent that you will ever have.

You can make number plates cheap. A couple flat pieces of the correct colored plastic or painted sheet metal and some electrical or duct tape to make the numbers. You can get them made up too. I orderd mine from BRMOFFROAD.COM and they are pretty slick. The guy is fast too, I ordered them at 4pm and got an e-mail at 5 telling me he shipped them out already. You'll want to get your # from FTR first of course.

kenz · December 31, 2006, 06:16:57 PM

We were out working the trail this weekend and it has really come together. This course offers a little bit of almost all the terrain that Florida could offer. If you have never done a Quad Scramble or any other kind of racing this is definitely the course to give it a try. You will have ball doing this race!! You seasoned woods racers will find there is plenty to keep the course challenging too.

There are sections of the course where spectators will be able to get a view of the action and I can assure you that those sections will offer some good excitement. If you come out don't forget a camera.

jujulo700R · December 31, 2006, 11:39:58 PM

I am going for sure. If it wasn't for my family and day job, I would be camping out there right now!

it looks like its going to be a great time ! can't wait can somebody help me out with directions from wpb thanks......

dvx400#1 · January 18, 2007, 08:13:14 PM

question, if is not your turn to race can you still ride other trails while the races are going on or do u just wait for practice time wich is 1 hour and then wait untill your race time.wich for me as a biginer looks like to be 2hrs :dunno.gif

mikeE36 · January 18, 2007, 08:18:25 PM

Wow I live right by this spot and have never been to it. How big is this area?

I've never raced before. I ride a 250ex, would it be alright out there? Is it all racing or can you trail ride too? My friend has a bike and I have a quad could we ride at the same time or do quads and bikes go out at different times.

Who owns this land by the way? Is there any fees to go out there?

kenz · January 18, 2007, 08:24:38 PM

Its 640 acres. The track encompasses about 180 acres.

If you have never raced FTR you'll need to become a member and pay the race fee. FTR membership is $50 and race entry is $50. FTR is a yearly fee.

Your 250ex will do fine. This type of racing isn't all about speed. There is alot of rider skill that is involved.

This event isn't for dirt bikes. FTR does offer the Hare Scramble series for them. There isn't any trail riding we have permission from the land owner to use it for the race. There is a chance to do a practice lap. The race last for 2 hours. You make as many laps as you can in that time. Believe me you will get plenty of riding.

The only technical requirements for the quad is a tether type kill switch and your exhaust should be under the 97.5DB limit. If it isn't you won't be turned away, but for future races you'll be required to comply.

You only ride during practice and when your class is up. The course is is only open to the class that is racing at that time. The race time for beginners is 2hrs. You make as many laps as you can in the 2 hours.

There isn't alot of waiting around. By the time sign up takes place and you get your gear on, it's time for practice- you might get 2 laps in. Practice isn't for all out speed- its a chance to see what's up.

The day goes fast, watching the other classes, hanging out, grabbing something to eat, giving your quad the once and twice over; before you know it, it's your time to race. Then the real fun begins.

There will be some good food there. The land owners church group will be doing the cooking again; breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some good stuff!!

TRX450R_Racer · January 20, 2007, 09:06:30 AM

The food is GREAT!! The property is beautiful. Worth checking out even if your not racing.
