If any of you closer guys want to see another nice riding area, I would suggest rock run recreation, Its got 6000+ acres. Quadfest is 3000 acres. Its got enough trails that you could ride all day and not hit the same trail twice and its still in the first phases of construction. Cheap too. 15 dollars for 1 day 30 for fri-sun or 125 for the yr.

Cant wait for Quadfest though. Lookin like its gonna be fun this yr. I bet we end up with at least 35 to 45 in the group before its all said and done

that track looks fun, its kind of straight and flat tho, lol 6th gear pinned the whole way, that would be fun on the R once i got the new motor tho

lol not that i have any intention of winning one, but how do you think i would do if i ever entered one of those dirt drags, if i have a lrd 350pv ported for mx, 18inch razrs, and 14 37 gearing, yes i know thats probably exact opposite of a drag quad, but it still has some good power

Its not so much a power issue with a mx bike like yours. Its all in the traction at quadfest. Only2strokes was smoking some high powered banshees with his blaster pretty much on setup and good rider skills. Razrs wouldnt cut it. You will spin for the first 50 ft. A nice set of ohtsu radials work best IMO at quadfest.

That track isnt setup for quads. Its a bike track. The whoops are really hard to get over cleanly on a quad and the finish line jump is a little too long to land on top. You land about 10-15 ft short on a quad, then shoot over the knuckle, land on the brakes for a sharp 180 degree left hander and launch back off the downhill again.

I plan on going with my dad and bro this year. if it is going to be cheaper for a group then i would like to be in the group.

well i could just swap rear wheels with my stock R, which is still stock rims with stock ohtsu tires, but im sure the torquey gearing and cr250 ignition would still work against me in the traction department, but i dont really see the difference between a drag, and the holeshot, on drags do you start on a concrete surface? or is it dirt even at the start?

[fulltiltrider]

its all dirt. A holeshot is exactly what you are trying to do but, the difference is the suspension setup and extending. My zilla will launch hard, would pull right away from just about any mx suspended wheeler. difference is when you go around the first 180 turn, Ill be somewhere off track trying to get my boat turned around lol.

ya and i cant really lean back right out of the gate to get weight on the back wheels like a drag quad, since my swinger is an inch shorter than that R that you have assuming taht you still have the 86 swinger

awesome. Come on guys we need a bunch of us there. Its gonna be alot of fun. The more the merrier

[strokeittwice443]

how is the group rate thing going to work? are we paying in advance or do we reserve the rate and pay at the gate? and if we pay in advance who will collect the money and pay for the group? and another thing, ive never run my shee at high altitudes so do i need to jet up or down? i am usually between sea level and 250 ft and am running 350 mains now.
