Well as far as I know looks like the #5 took the heat race and the #25 won the feature with #5...2nd and I think 7a was 3rd and 17 was 4th.... But dont hold me to that I was not there. Mabe someone could comfurm that. But one thing is for sure that #25 Honda has won 2 races in a row...

... congrats to Bill thats awsome! He also has the points lead. See yall fooseday.

i got 2 19s for sale one 75% tread and one 100% tread brand new the brand new one was grooved by rickhead let me know if anyone is interested

That's the way the 2 stroke class ended up. My new found horsepower was of no use. It was a little slick in the practice and heat but it shaped up in the main. Don't forget the #45 400EX Jeremy has won all races except the ones I beat him with that 450R. He does a great job on that bike he will be even faster next time on his YFZ450!

Well guys looks like the shee is out of commision for awhile. Found out today that the right side crank bearing has exploded. The only notification I got was a little rattle at idle. opened the basket side and ball bearings fell out. I thought it was running very well. The carbs needed a little re jetting and that made a big differance. Updates to follow. The KFX isn't running either so I guess I will not make the next race. I have to leave town for a week on Monday and will be back on Friday so I will make the race as a spectator but not to race.

fastrthanu25 · May 15, 2004, 04:08:45 PM

well looks like the 4strokers are going to have one more.just sold my extra set of tires to a guy with a suzuki 400z.he needs to get some rims, a kill switch, and nerfs and hell be there.

450R_Matt · May 19, 2004, 04:48:58 PM

Well its up in the air as of now. If the carb shows up for the car thats what im racing. If not ill bring the R out... Eather way ill see ya sat. 5/22/04

450R_Matt · May 24, 2004, 08:09:21 PM

Great race to all the quads sat. night. Fast race to with no cautions... Congrats to the #17 for the back to back heat and feature win. #5 held on to the 2nd spot and #25 came in 3rd. Look fun for all from where I was sitting. Man I want a win in the car and also want some fast flat trackin on the quad also. Mabe I will bring out the R When I get back.

Z-Racer-5c · May 25, 2004, 09:20:25 AM

OK all the Banshee is going back together. I need some additional info on tires. I will be running the same size rears. Does any one know if the AR tires are still the only tires we can use?

I need to get a set!!

fastrthanu25 · May 25, 2004, 10:38:15 PM

yes z-racer the american racer tire is the only tire you can run at hendry.the a.r. is pretty much the best tire for the track in all around conditions.you can vary in the hardness or softness of the tire,but thats it.the best place to get the tire,that I know of is nacs racing.maybe someone else can help me out on that though. :-/

450R_Matt · May 26, 2004, 06:59:21 PM

The American Racer is the tire rule for the quads. This is the best tire for the track like the #25 said..There has been a couple of quads that have shown up with others like Hoosier but there is no exception. This is the one of the few rules we have. Bring the hp but have American racers. Also a little tip... Run a stagger set on the rear. Go fast! Turn left!

Z-Racer-5c · May 27, 2004, 01:41:08 PM

Thanks Guys,

I should have both bikes ready for the next race?

We shall see! Is too much HP going to hurt me on this track?? I am debating on going to the t-rex power valve 525 with the 10mm stroker.Do you think it will be too much for the track??

450R_Matt · May 27, 2004, 09:11:04 PM

Z-Racer... The turns are getting alot of rubber on them after a few races each night. It makes for a 1 line race gruve. Tim on the #1 Banshee has had some truble latley getting the power to the ground. To much gas in the corner will make you spin out if you have a lot of HP.. Come out and see what happens. All the guys are cool and they will give you some inside on how to get around at HCS.

2fast4u · May 27, 2004, 09:53:59 PM

Don't forget we race every 2nd and 4th sat. nite. The next race is on June 12th. I think too much HP's is bad espeacially when you are trying to dial in your setup. Spend money on a sway bar, tires and +2 axle and A-arms would help also. You might also think about a shorter swingarm. The best tip anyone can give you is concentrate on the corners not the straights. Oh and never forget you can't catch the #5

Z-Racer-5c · May 29, 2004, 09:10:54 AM

Thanks for the input! I will try to remember not to catch # 5. I don't think I will catch anyone for a few weeks anyway. Need seat time.

ONEslowEXer · May 31, 2004, 02:05:59 PM

hey 1fast250r....
I think they should set up a class for us vintage 300ex riders

fastrthanu25 · May 31, 2004, 10:52:37 PM

hey 2fast,was that u on the #5 bike last sat.because if I remember correctly i caught u, oohhh did i catch u I just could'nt pass u but, theres next time.

450R_Matt · June 05, 2004, 06:20:02 PM

Hey ONEslowEXer, Im sure some of the guys on the 4 strokes wont mine racing you in reverse

ONEslowEXer · June 08, 2004, 06:47:39 PM

450R_Matt · June 08, 2004, 09:15:47 PM

fastrthanu25 · June 11, 2004, 08:28:46 PM

17_UP_FRONT · June 14, 2004, 12:27:55 PM

HEY fastrthanu25 NICE TROPHY [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif] DID YA WORK HARD FOR IT? KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK [smiley=Wink.gif]

2fast4u · June 21, 2004, 08:54:31 PM

[smiley=Clap.gif]We are finally going to get a race in this time. June 26th is the next event. The June 12th rainout has been moved to the first available date which is July 31st. Racing will continue every 2nd and 4th week of each month with 2 weeks in a row at the end of July. I hope the track is good but i'm sure alot of water is going to make for a different race surface. Heard that it was bumpy last week. 50 lap Bomber race this weekend should be alot of cars from thundercross.(I better bring the camper that could take all night) I'm going to have to loose that pesky #25. I can't ride behind him because I can't see around that big ole head he's getting. At least the #17 gets up on 2 wheels so I can see past him. Whatever Happened to #18? I heard he took off all the race gear and retired to a slower vehicle. A Bomber car? Do those guys even have to wear helmets? I think it will be a good race so if you have big horsepower, big tires, A big wallet or just a big ass JUST BRING IT!! JUST BRING IT!!
