Did I miss something? Are you upgrading stuff or did you tear it up some how?

Flea_Jumper · April 04, 2005, 06:08:20 AM

Raptor350, I was at the track in Lakeland on Sunday and spoke with several riders, they had mentioned that Sunshine was a Supercross track and would not be great on Quads. Real tight and big jumps, very technical. Is this true?

53yfz450 · April 04, 2005, 11:40:40 AM

Raptor350's Dad here-
   No that is not true,it used to be a while ago but now it is totally different.Yes, it is a bit tight but not like they are saying,the jumps are a lot of fun and the turns are wide and cool! I wish that people who came here a year ago or more would come back out and see the difference or just shut up(this is getting tiring fighting people on something they are not or haven't been a aprt of something but still giving bad opions)It is a lot more exciting than Dade city-Sunshine has actual jumps!!!!!
   Sorry to rant but just getting fustrated that a track is actually giving quads a full night and nobody is giving it a chance they are stuck in the past-we all start somewhere!
   Also they groom the track for us every friday night!!

I can't wait to meet all of you guys and talk to you face to face! I really enjoys your input and ideas-RIDE SAFE!!

Flea_Jumper · April 04, 2005, 03:47:45 PM

Thanks for the info. I really dont care what people say. I will ride anything, I was just wondering because Marino is having the same problem in Lakeland. His track is a great track for MX and Quads and people just remember the old track. What are you going to do.

I do believe that I will see you guys this Friday.

Thanks for the input.

P.S. Dade City sucks.

53yfz450 · April 04, 2005, 03:55:43 PM

DADE CITY WOULD BE ALOT BETTER IF THEY HAD SOME LIP ON THE JUMPS. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE TRY YOUR BEST TO MAKE IT BECAUSE WE NEED MORE QUADS OR THEY WILL GIVE UP ON THE QUADS SO TRY TO BRING AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN.

THANKS,RAPTOR350 (JAKE) AND DAD (TOBY)

QuoteDid I miss something? Are you upgrading stuff or did you tear it up some how?

53yfz450 · April 05, 2005, 06:38:21 PM

yeah man last time you showed up a little late. since there are going to be lots of small quads out there my dad will probably let us ride for 45 min. and let us take a break while the little ones go and so on so on. i really hope you all can make it. and mudbuggy im sorry that we cant let you dirtbike son come out.

Muddbuggy · April 05, 2005, 07:01:48 PM

Thats allright jake it doesnt hurt to ask but I understand if you let one you gotta let them all. maybe they can switch off and each of them ride the quad.

dreth · April 06, 2005, 08:58:49 PM

im gonna make it! my quad is down but i have a loner quad that i will be riding

so ill be there around 530 pm.

Flea_Jumper · April 07, 2005, 07:12:16 AM

I will make also. Count three in for Friday. Just wondering, what time does it start, and what is the best way from Orlando coming from I -4?

Let me know........

53yfz450 · April 07, 2005, 03:23:51 PM

it starts at 6:30.as soon as you get over the howard franklin bridge take ulmerton rd. exit (688) to 49th st take a left on 49th to 118th ave. go left you will se small sign on left and then make a u-turn. i think thats the right directions my dad is busy and i dont want to bother him. when you get a chance call him at 458-9403(toby) to verify.

53yfz450 · April 07, 2005, 03:27:01 PM

here you go this is the quickest way i got this off the site.

- I275 South over Howard Franklin Bridge.
- Take Ulmerton Road exit.
- Continue west to 40th Street.
- Turn left at light.
- Take 40th Street to end (118th ave.)
- Turn right (West).
- Track is up on the right (approx. 300ft)

dreth · April 07, 2005, 06:53:08 PM

are we there yet

53yfz450 · April 07, 2005, 06:58:41 PM
