  1. I have nothing against 2 stokes at all. Own a couple now.

    I was asking because my CRF250 would probably blow up riding a big track.

    I have no concerns about beating a two stroke around CRP though.

    My Cr500 will have to be mellow out to be ridden on CRP.....this fall I'll be down with a few friends....lol
  2. Keep a open mind about that old 2-stroke technology......lol If you need a reminder, some my friends used that motor to set land speed record and just about all the outlaw karts guys use it as well as hill climber friend. A young man on a hopped-up Yamaha motard at beaverun said it was old technology....I kinda chuckled and thought to myself we'll see......lol

  3. Sounds like challenge accepted :)

    I hope he( Yamaha 426 boy) reads this and tells 12 of his buddies what I said and hope they all will be waiting on me at Beaverun next-time.....along with the European group out of Pittsburgh that want a piece of me of their 510 Husky!!!!! bring-it....lol

  4. CRP races will start around 11 AM. We run multiple classes of minis and one Super Moto class. Two sprint races per class. No specific SM track just the .7 mile 10 turn road course.

    If you plan to race be there around 8 am.

    Your bike doesn't need to be perfectly setup to race to have a lot of fun. You probably won't beat me anyway ;)

    That's what the last guy said at Beaverun on Yamaha 426.........he now on the porch!!!!! lol

  5. They can. It's just when there are 4-5 slower riders bunched up things can get sticky. Sometimes you can't get all of them at once and have to squeeze in mid pack.

    Your right, seemed like 8-10 in every corner and a few wandering around in the corner or just going too fast for their riding skills trying to keeping up with their buddies...... now I feel safe getting in the middle of that!!! lol  fact is no-matter what group out there WE or Me are not perfect but I try to be as safe and respectful to my fellow riders as can be in that somewhat controlled environment. If I was riding with my buddies it would be a different story.......and the other thing is, costing someone money or pain wouldn't make me feel well. 

     Slower bikes in A group should have a limit where they can run on the straights not in the middle......I run in some race classes that run 175mph and I run 120-125 but I ALLWAYS leave room on inside or outside in corners for them and stay out of the middle of the straights.

  6. If anyone interested we play on dirt tracks during the week with motards/flat trackers and a few very fast speedway guys who rides on the USA speedway team and other speedway guy dad was a national dirt track racer #52....lol I wouldn't think they would care or we could start something....just no knobbies. I heard CRP had/has a supermoto track?????

  7. I've been wanting to stop down and riding with CRP/Motard for a while.......If any drama starts-up on the big track guys, I'll start hanging with the with the less drama little fries guys!!!! lol. Post up the next ride down at CRP or even Beaver if anyone going.....thanks

  8. I suspect Zack and I were the "questionable" ones. First time at the track, and although signed up for A we were actually considering bumping down to I before the day started. Todd strongly suggested against it. So be it, we're not blazing fast but fairly consistent and predictable - Zack races, and I pretend.  So, what makes an advanced rider questionable then - not FAST enough?? The intermediate group guys eventually need to move up and become the slow A guys. Not as much fun, but the best way to become faster. And as far as riding a 250 in A goes, their corner speeds are right up there. You big boys know how to get around if you need to. :)

     

    And while i'm at it, Chuck - what are YOU doing goofing off in I group?!!

    I like goofing off.....lol  I know there were a few riders that weren't use to someone going around them fast in the corners in "I" group because I could see them jump and change lines quick and about run off track or hitting someone else......maybe they should even be in "I" group???  wasn't really even that close to them.

     Maybe next time i'll ride with you and Zack in A group.....lol

  9. There were several of us with BLUE balls after Sunday.  But, I would say that not a single person would bust your balls over not racing in the rain as your first race.  Wise choice and better to get out at maybe the last Nelson round or something when it is dry.  You'll learn a lot more anyways.

     

    Was a blast hanging with you for the weekend and at dinner.  Fun stuff!!!

    I've got blue elbow, ribs and hand from racing with slicks in the rain......so my balls are a little blue too!!! lol
