We dont get money back in the "A" Class on dirt bikes

trx#9 · July 20, 2005, 03:31:52 PM

I known the dirtbikes in the florida mottocross series get money back. so dirtbikes don't have a money class in the ftr.

Albright335 · July 20, 2005, 04:40:15 PM

ftr does not pay money in any class in any series.

Will they be checking for the 98 decibl level?

I hope mine will pass! Does anyone know what the decibl level is on a LRD pipe for a YFZ?

The slip on With the quiet core is 95.9. Thats according to the pipe shootout in Dirt wheels.

And is there a class that i could race in im 13 on a 400, raptor 350 told me c class but it says 16 and older?

Exmx54 · July 20, 2005, 08:07:41 PM

Lostcause- I'm planning on racing this whole series, BUT I turn 16 on October 11th, so is the 16 year old rule NO exceptions at all, even with a parents present at all the races, the whole time, and filling out all my paperwork? I really don't want to miss the first couple races.

You drop 3 of 10 races anyway. So if you plan attending 8/10 then you will be fine because only 7 count.

We will be missing the first race too and depending on the 06 GNC schedule maybe more. Thank goodness for 3 throw-outs....

LostCause · July 20, 2005, 08:56:55 PM

I know that is the weekend of LL. But I still think we will have a good turn out.

To ride in the A,B,C,Womens classes you have got to be 16. You can start in the +35 class if you turn 35 during the season. As far as in the youth classes I am still trying to find out. But it looks like you have got to be of age before you can start in a specific age group/cc.

Exmx54 · July 20, 2005, 09:42:12 PM

Grrrrr NOT FAIR!!!!!! Mellisa, you know me, could you imagine me on a Blaster! They should have a rule that if you will be like 16 within half of the series you should get to compete, because in all fairness, I'm left without a class, and have to miss 2 or 3 races, so I can't miss any other races just incase something comes up.

Exmx54 · July 20, 2005, 09:46:04 PM

Also, are you sure the dB is going to be 98? That's an off number, considering at nationals they make you stay under 102, so that's where most pipe manufacturer's try to make their pipes at.

400EX · July 20, 2005, 11:36:46 PM

Exmx54 · July 21, 2005, 04:01:04 AM

Let me know if I'll be able to race this year, if I can't start the season out I'll just not do FTR and do Florida series. I would really like to do FTR, but at the time there is no class for me that I can start and finish the season in.

I'll stick to f.m.s. series i heard they put more into it financially than f.t.r. does and they run you more laps[td][/td]

LostCause · July 21, 2005, 08:07:02 PM

Why not do both series. FTR rides more tracks. And it isn't in the heat of summer. The FTR MX series has grown in the last couple of years and is getting better and better.
The number of laps are determined on how many riders there are and how much daylight there is. most motos were 5 laps this past year. same as what you get at nationals.
