PLEDGER#76 · October 10, 2005, 10:27:36 PM

This race we will get 2 HOURS

to do as many laps as possible, so anyone who races in the hare scramble division in the FTR on a quad should go and suppot this new series and we will also get 2 hours at all the quad series races.

yamadooski · October 10, 2005, 11:48:57 PM

YFZ450-Tampa · October 12, 2005, 12:34:16 AM

You are rigth Will, that was Kevin and me, and if you will try "A" you won't have to pass me, you will be ahead of us from the begining

I heard they will do some changes to the track, but it was OK to me the way it was ... hummm may be not, a couple of passing areas will be great, but that's just about it.

I'll see you guys at the race, lets make it big

Kirklandrock · October 12, 2005, 01:19:41 AM

If my shocks make it back in time for me to break them in a little I'll be there.
Joe

YFZ450-Tampa · October 12, 2005, 01:38:34 AM

Hope you can make it and bring your bodies with you.

PLEDGER#76 · October 12, 2005, 04:08:53 PM

Come on Joe, looking forward to racing with you again, are you the J. Kirkland who I see with stuff in the GT-THUNDER shop waiting for service???
If you can make it it would be cool hope to see you there man!!!!!

SLOW450R · October 12, 2005, 11:47:14 PM

I'll be there, I really enjoyed that course, its going to be fun to be out there for 2 full hours this time. From the look of the lap times it looks like we will be out there for 4 laps, it ought to make for a good time, and hopefully some wore out racers, cause I know I will be.

See yall up there

PLEDGER#76 · October 13, 2005, 01:06:00 AM

I think I read they are gonna make it A 7 or 8 mile track instead of the almost 10 mile track we raced last time so I think we might even get 5 laps and the 2 hours is the best part!!!!!!!

Kirklandrock · October 13, 2005, 01:17:20 AM

Hey Willis,
thats me........ cant believe how quick Laz did what he does....
Dude, I 2 day'd them to him a week from yesterday (tues) and they were shipped out today....Thats awesome........ Icant wait........ Hope to get a little ride time on them before next weekend...

FTR44CRep · October 14, 2005, 10:18:39 AM

Albright335 · October 15, 2005, 12:16:12 AM

Phil and I will be there...looking forward to it...

I read that there will be a hay ride for the kids..."ATTENTION LITTLE GOBBLINS!!
What better way to celebrate the coming holiday, but with a good old fashioned Halloween Hayride!!
There will be a hayride for the kids at the "First Annual Blackjack Quadscramble", in Pinetta. If you would like to go along, the wagon will be picking up "little pumpkins" at 6:30 pm at the sign-up trailer. Be there for a GHOULISH good time!! Who knows what we might encounter!!" ...I read the statement on the FTR Website.

Here is the flyer with the location and start times

mudnuri · October 15, 2005, 01:22:27 PM

I will be there. I hope they have a slow calss!
Bluesman! Bring the kids! They will be pumped! They can enter and so can you. You don't have to go until you break or crash. Just have fun and get out of the way of the faster riders p.d.q.
Entry fee is only $20 for kids 8 & under and only $40 for everyone else.
The Utility class should be fun, too!

Albright335 · October 17, 2005, 07:00:34 PM

All,

The following was listed on the FTR website today!!

"The first 20 quad racers under 10 to sign up will receive a free racing jersey at the Blackjack QS in Madison. First come first serve no guarantee on size and color Courtesy of your FTR leadership."

Hope to see some new faces this weekend!!

Jen

svtbolt04 · October 17, 2005, 07:40:43 PM

How does that help me?

Im not going, too far of a drive now that I think about it. I wasnt very happy with the hour long race last time. Dont tell me about AA riders setting the pace because someone on here came in at 58minutes and was pulled. He could have ran another lap.

Albright335 · October 17, 2005, 07:43:35 PM

The QS's will be 2 hours...

svtbolt04 · October 17, 2005, 09:22:08 PM

Yea, but I was told it was going to be an hour and a half for a regular harescramble. I was reading through the rules and didnt find one thing on harescrambles timing rules for the AA bs I was told on the FTR website.. To say some things that others wouldnt want to say, I would rather race at holopaw again than through those trees which were IMPOSSIBLE to pass in unless the person in front of you crashed. That was another thing I saw on the rule book for harescrambles "B.Course - D Must not : Contain any long sections where passing is impossible" Now, how many quad people came up behind a slow rider and had to wait it out untill it opened back up 5minutes later because neither you or them could find a spot to either pull over to let pass or put it into higher gear to pass.. The track was technical, but IMPOSSIBLE for quads to pass.

Get my point?

YFZ450-Tampa · October 18, 2005, 12:51:19 AM

Hey dude, like Jane said, it will be two hours race, ohhhhhh yeaaahhh can wait, and as I read, they have done some changes to the trank, some passing areas and so. Will be heading up on Saturday morning with Kev, Donny and Vince.
I want to see all those kids racing their pewe quads.

All see you guys, girls and kids at Madison

PLEDGER#76 · October 18, 2005, 05:04:53 PM

Anybody who races quads needs to be there to support this first race for the FTR QUAD SERIES, this will be the race that will determine future clubs holding races too so if you race any hare scrambles on quads you need to support the quad series first!!!
It might just be the only XC venue to race in florida soon!!!!!!!

indianjoe · October 18, 2005, 05:54:20 PM

Well said pledger....We all should support F.T.R. it might be one of the last riding oppurtunities in the state if things don't change....I plan on partcipating in the Holopaw quad scramble and plan on just having fun.

kevoquad · October 18, 2005, 07:32:20 PM

this could be the start of something bigger than us all, we need to support the quad series!!!! once people see how big we are and the potential, property owners will be coming out of the woodwork. all we have to do is show up and have fun!

svtbolt04 · October 18, 2005, 10:26:23 PM

If the hurricane heads exactly toward collier county.. I guess you will see me there!

FTR44CRep · October 19, 2005, 09:49:12 AM

Hey Guys,
I talked to Mark, the Chairman of the new Quad Series. Here's how the 2 hour format will work. The lap time of the first racer to be scored will be deducted form the 2 hours. If the first racer does the first lap in 20 minutes then the cut off will be 1 hour and 40 minutes. In other words, if you go through scoring at 1:39, you get another lap. If you come in at 1:40 or later, your finished. Personally, with this storm coming, which is now a cat 5, I can't believe the race is still on. My but will be home.

PLEDGER#76 · October 19, 2005, 02:37:23 PM

I have heard from the the top weather guy in the NAVY and he says the storm is so high up in the air it will be lucky to be a CAT2 if it even hits FL. I guess we will see how much he knows!!!!!

YFZ450-Tampa · October 19, 2005, 10:00:35 PM

As farther north the safer I'll be, and Madison is north enough for me

svtbolt04 · October 19, 2005, 10:42:52 PM

Yea, Im 100% sure ill be heading north, about 50% sure Ill be racing.

yamadooski · October 20, 2005, 12:11:11 AM

Everyone is evacing to the north so why not go to the race.
I would bet where the race is at it will be the safest place in the state.
The high pressure in the north will not let the hurricane go any further than the Tampa area.

FTR44CRep · October 20, 2005, 01:37:32 PM

Am I the only one who thinks it's bull**it this race is still being held? Am I the only one with other family members who need my help during these stupid storms? I think it's great that most people can just drop everything and run to the race. But FTR preaches how much of a "family" they are and then they turn around and do something like this. They want us to desert our "real" families and homes and go to their first event. Real class act.

Albright335 · October 20, 2005, 01:54:29 PM

Hmmmm...I am kinda torn on the subject......

I live in Valkaria - East Coast - on the Brevard / Indian River County line and I do not expect much of anything but rain - IF that. BUT as I was saying to Phil last night , I do feel bad for those who are forced to make the decision to go and support the QS or stay and help their families. - I guess we should actually find out if and where the storm is going to go (although we all know they are unpredictable).

So, I do see where you are coming from.....and I understand that the QS must be held this weekend (if at all) because of hunting season starting in the next week or so. I agree with most that if an evacuation does take place then come on up...but not knowing how your family is doing and your home it would hard to concentrate on "racing".....I am just hoping Wilma goes away - LoL!!!!!!

No mattter what you decide - stay safe!!!
