HA HA I am acutally posting something serious... I have my first quad race and the count down is now 11 DAYS!!! for any of you that have raced.... what are some tips and things to know... that I would need to know.....

** not really sure right forum.. ha ha not quad stunting and not fmx either

 

get a camel back for some water to drink and do thumb exercises

 

Do some wrist curls while watching TV. It will really help with arm pump. Rest you forearm on an arm rest while holding a small weight palm up. Lift your hand up and down without lifting your fore arm. This will help strengthen the muscles used for operating the machine. Good luck in yo race!!

 

hey dont hit anyone in the *** like i did. it was my first race to last lap and i went into a corner way to fast and smoked a guy. end result is two end over end cartwheels, broken rear plastic, and broken tie rod end. But for my first race i did great. It was nice being center of attention instead of just watching. As far as tips check and double check every thing on your quad Ex) Fluids Chain, and all nuts and bolts. Oh yeah bring plenty of tools and extra parts. Hey have a great time i did. When i raced though i did flat track, nuttin but speed.

 

Yeah check the little things for sure.....Ryan (Redrizza) ended up missing out on 1st for the season in NEATVMX Expert class because his air filter came loose....fluke.

I'm sure you will do great though....You'll learn a lot and keep getting better.

Good Luck

 

Thanks guys I really appreciate it!!! I have a count down of 10 days now

 

wat track u racin

 

Village Creek MX in Ft Worth

 

I know a chick from Fort Worth

 

1. be careful u don't get landed on on the big mx jumps
2. hold your line
3. sometimes in order to go faster you need to go slower and get a rythem going through stuff.
4. let the quad move around a bit but don't be affraid to tighten up the rains when she starts getting rough
5. keep your front end light
6. In corners point your inside knee pointed to where you wanna end up out of the corners
7. try not to get to nervous and beleive me if its ur first race ur gonna be nervous lol.
8. use lots of body english very little of it is just steering and using the gas and brakes. Cuz if you do just that your gonna get urself in some scary situations on the jumps and your gonna have to go a lot slower.

Good luck, be careful.

 

thanks alot nausty...
