The easiest way is to let RTR Performance Engines do it for you.

I'll have Dirty Foot's track in superb shape by then.
Looking forward to it!

JT

I want the opportunity to thank Dirty Foot Adventures for all of the effort that they have put into making their facility one of the top
riding places that I have encountered! Most of you know me and by saying that... most of you know that I have been racing and riding for over 30 years
(since I was 7)!
Dirty Foot Adventures has put a lot of time and effort into making their facility a very safe, very family oriented, and premier riding places you could
hope for.
Their XC courses are amazingly done!
Their Sand Drag is the best that I have seen in Florida.
Their open Trails are the safest that you could encounter.
Their Camping facilities are extremely clean, well maintained, and positioned very well within the park.
Bike wash down stations!
A superbly clean swimming hole with zip lines, rope swings, and a 12' deep bottom.
Mud riding areas.
Pee Wee track!

AND SOON TO COME..... Another MONSTER surprise that will put Dirty Foot on the map as being the PREMIER riding spot in Central Florida!!!

We at RTR Performance are proud to be the Sponsored performance shop and proud to be part of the Dirty Foot family!!

I got to tell you, this was my first woods race and had a blast. I held up very well as far as stamina for not racing in almost 8 months.
I felt like I could have hung with the AA guys for a while but ran into carb problems after the first half mile and had to run the whole first lap with
one hand while holding the choke up with the other just to get past quarter throttle.
I was riding a stock quad that we got a few weeks ago that wouldnt even run. We just drained the tank, changed the plug, got her fired up and
took her out to race. I forgot how bad it sucks to ride stock suspension on a TRX.
I got to hand it to the woods racers!! I thought my thumb was going to just explode!
Can't wait to do it again actually except with no carb issues and some XC tires instead of MX tires.

JT

My son had his head ported by RTR a few weeks ago and other than that his quad is stock.  Today on a line of about 15 quads my son pulled the holeshot and he had at least 150' on the class.  That thing made some power today!!

We were happy to see that thing do so well today.
We appreciate your comments!!

JT

Be careful with Jason, he's a little light in the loafers. 

Its all about the "fuzzy pickle"!!

Black and White!? Seriously?
It would probably be better if everyone bit their tongue despite what further comments they want to make.

Besides, Its not that I dont like black people!!
I just dont like Rob!!
Punk!!!

JT

Diddo on the Dirty Foot suggestion. Great XC course with a TON of one way trails as well.
You can go out all weekend for $20.
That is almost unheard of.
The CCP stabilizer works extrmely well.
Your suspension will be KEY! Who you have do your suspension will also be key!
I would have Matt Blommel from Blommel Motorsports do your shocks.
He is not far from you at all and has a very quick turnaround time! He also does alot of the top Pro AM and Pro
riders suspensions.
Tell him Jason from RTR Performance Engines sent you. We send him a lot of business.
His number is 813-714-1325.
PM me if you want them done and I will give you a little unknown secret!

JT

Most setups for XC will consist of a .5" to 1.5" wider A Arm set.
The rear shock set up is equally as important if not more important than the front.
Make sure the A Arms that you get are built for XC. They have more ground clearance.
A very good all around XC A Arm would be the Houser Max Ground Clearance Setup.
Get a very good steering stabilizer and good strong nerfs, front bumper, and skid plates.
Any aftermarket rear axle will usually work because they have spacers that will adjust them from
stock width to +2 on each side.

JT

Yeah, Pops said you guys were super nice!
I appreciate you doing that for me. David said you would not mind.
I also appreciate you keeping an eye out for me!!

JT

Would pretty much be like hitting the lotto by someone that doesn't know you randomly checking your door, finding it was unlocked, and letting up your garage knowing you more than likely wouldn't hear it. The same night after you had a gathering at your house. PM me their info 

Right? I will get the info that I can and forward it to you.
Thanks,

JT

Does your garage sit on the same side of your house as the master bedroom? Also, was your garage door kicked in or did it take alot of force to make entry? How many people were at your house the day of the barbeque?

It seems as if Candace left the side door to the garage open. She remembers shutting the garage door and going out of the side door to her truck to go to work. She said she was in a hurry and does not remember locking it. Its on the opposite side of our bedroom. I knew everybody but 2 people that were at the house Sunday. I immediately went straight to their house and checked them out. They were my first suspects. Ive about ruled them out of taking it, but now absolutely sure!
I doubt that it is someone that actually knows me well! Anybody who does know me well, knows that I have a tendency to beat people until they either quit breathing, the bat im using breaks, or Im pulled off of them. (not a super bad azz, just have anger problems)
I do not have insurance!
The dog that we have is Candace's and is retarded! The only time he makes noise is when I beat him for crapping in the utility room!

Anybody that can help, I would appreciate it! A lot of quads being stolen in this area right now. Hopefully it's still in the county. If it is, then I can find it.

JT

Check with Brandon George!

I dont even think that he is around anymore. Besides, Brandon is deathly afraid that I will break him in half.

Rob,
I absolutely know that it is either someone that knows me or someone that lives right around me.  I only finished
rebuilding her a couple weeks ago and only had her running this past Saturday. The only time that she was on display for
anybody to know that I had it in my garage was Sunday. I had it out in the yard so we could have the garage for barbeque.
Im sure someone drove by and saw her sitting out. If it stays in Highland County, then I will find it.
When I do, my anger management coach is going to be dissapointed in me.

JT

I doubt I will get lucky twice. This time someone will get hurt if I find it. Man, Woman or child. You count on that brother.

Thanks brother! If it stays here in Highland County, then we can find it!
Put the word out.

JT

Need help fellas.
Just finished a ground up rebuild on my race bike Saturday night. New or rebuilt everything.
Tuesday morning around 4:00 AM, someone broke into the side door of my garage, pulled the garage realease and rolled my quad out. This is disturbing for 2 reasons. I just finished her after working for 10 months to afford the money and time to build her the way I always wanted and the fact that someone cam into my home while Candace and I were sleeping!! Not to mention that I have been rehabbing my knee after complete reconstruction in hopes to get back into the saddle and get fast again.
If you have ever had "your baby" stolen from you, then you know that I cant even describe what it feels like. Its not like I can just go buy another one.
I live in Sebring. My hopes are that it is still in Sebring or the surrounding towns. If it is, then I can find it.
Im attaching a pic of before the rebuild. I didnt get a chance to take some pics after the rebuild. Some things are different.
It now has a Black Walsh Swingarm that was Jeremy Lawson's "Sweet 16" swingarm.
It has Sweet 16 plate welded into the swingarm. A few other things are different, but the overall look is the same. I am sure that they have removed the graphics kit and my number plates with my name on them.
06 Honda TRX450R. White plastics with everything else powdercoated black. Fox shocks, etc;

$1000 reward to the recovery of or any information leading to the recovery of this quad.

Everyone will be interested.
It would give them a reason to visit a couple of your other races as well.
You bring it and we will show up in force. Just schedule it when there is no Sponsor Cup race at Dade City
or a national.

JT

Def would be in!
A 4 race format would be awesome.
Easier to commit to and get ready for.
And I should be in unbelievable shape by then.
It will be like Im 30 again!

JT

Hey O.G.,

Are you sure it didnt bounce up onto your seat and you sit on it!?
Check there...
Im just saying.... Its a possibility!

JT

There is no stock 450 that can take a KTM 525 motor in a straight line!
Just don't turn!!!!

I was practicing there a few weeks ago and there a was a large group of guys that said that they were going to race the series. B class will probably be a decent turnout for FTR MX. The guys I rode with were B class XC guys that are moving into MX as well. The thing was- They rode like C class MX guys. I could give them a 50 bike lead and catch them in a lap on the track. They would leave me in the woods though.
It is supposed to be a decent turnout this year from what I get from most of the guys I talk to.

JT

I was geared up to go and take the whole series from you guys, but it looks like another knee surgery for me!
I will probably go to the first one to watch though.
I know a lot of guys are talking about running that series because the SSQSA is gone, so we will see.
They have a lot of nice tracks on the schedule! (except Bartow)

JT

Ronnie was good people. Talented on his machine work too!
He will be missed!

RACE IN PEACE BROTHER!!!

jt

In our prayers!
Love ya brother! Take care of yourself.

JT

Way to go with the overall win in Sponsor Cup brother!!!
Hard to run them young uns' at 35 years old!!
Mad props to you. It gives me some hope that I can shake these injuries and rust
off and get back out there!!
Great victory for us old guys!

jt

Thats good stuff for our sport!
Represented by a stand up young man!!

Good job brother! Can you tutor my slacker daughter?
