I put the unported stock cylinder in it for the race with the new DMR coolhead and made it more mild for the woods, great setup for XC woods

Congratulations on getting first place

after taking the summer off, the race series resumed this past Saturday.  had 8 sign ups in the vintage class and 5-6 in the trike class. 1 of the Rs didnt start though so there was 6 250R and a Banshee.  The trike class Im not entirely sure, i saw a triZ and a 350x, i think all the rest were ATC 250Rs.   There might have been a 250sx in mix
I got a bad start, stuck in traffic most of the race, finished in 3rd which means I lost my points lead in the series.  My son was racing the blaster class with another kid on a 250x.   It was a fun track layout, next race is Oct 29.

Dave Moore was out there again helping guys with tunes, setup, showing off parts and also taking pics and videos during the races.  Great guy that loves 250Rs!

Is this the same race series that Zach Racette is racing in?

Good to hear Dave Moore is attending.

That’s so cool that you have enough riders for a vintage class. We struggle to get enough riders to field all the regular classes, let alone a specific vintage class.

Is this last weekend’s race? https://youtu.be/o-Ez02YrQtA

Dave posted it to one of the FB groups. That’s awesome that he comes out to support you guys. He did a really nice job on video filming and editing as well.

yep, thats it.  if you pause at the 46second mark, thats me on the left standing up next to my 88 baja 250R, blank spot where andrew should have been, Chad Smith rolling up late getting his R in position (full laeger, Tpin, CT310, etc), Kurt Z on his 310R, Zach #13 on his LSR 310R, Jeremy #59 on his R - dont know much about it, Will on his 420 banshee, and then a new guy I dont know on the far right side.

At the 1:24 mark you can see me, Kurt, and new guy still trying to get our Rs started when the rest of the class has taken off!

Chad was leading nearly the whole race, but he ran out of gas with like 2 minutes left, so that got Zach his first win.  Jeremy finished second.  I was 3rd.  Will was 4th.  Kurt 5th I think.  Kurt is a trooper, he keeps having issues at the races but is determined to get it figured out.  First race his ignition wasnt working right.  Second race something was going with his carrier/axle nut/ so that his chain would stay tight.  This race his shifter stripped out. 

Overall the attendance was way down, but the vintage and atc classes the numbers are increasing each race as guys get their builds completed and/or drag their buddies along to come race.

Finally got another first and got my points lead back.  I started in second and it was a close pack until 45 minutes ish I finally found a way past first and got myself a little space from the group.  5 trx250r and a banshee. 
Not sure how many raced but there were 10+ atcs (200x, 350xs, 250rs, and a tri z). Maybe a 250sx

Shocks from sf racing worked fantastic, running the zeel from Dave Moore along with a few billet parts, and Drw zeel mount and skids.

I remember in my younger days riding in all seasons especially in the miserable rain and snow.  Good luck and please keep us posted on how you do.

A lesser man couldn't get it done, but you should have no problem.

well instead of being 42 ish, the temp was 37; and instead of drizzle it was rain.  what a mess.  hands freezing, couldnt see but out of little spot at the top of my googles.   slip sliding all over the place missing sharp turns and running into trees, or nearly falling off 5 ft drop offs, sliding off the side of a hill instead of going up it.  Becuase we were going slower, there was 4 minutes left on the clock after the 3rd lap, so had to do another lap.  That made the race about hour and 15 minutes out in that crap.  I moved over to let a guy in a different class pass me on toward the end of the first lap, but he hit me into a tree when he made the pass.  hit hard enough the grips spun loose off the handle bars.  Clutch and throttle cables got muck in them and started binding up, not returning when I let off.  I hope I didnt smoke my clutch or hurt the engine.  It was a real battle of self will to keep going to the finish.

But I got 2nd and the guy I was in a points battle with had his chain break.  So with one race left I have a 27 point lead and the series championshiop is mine unofficially.   Track would have been really fun if it wasnt raining

need to get in touch with guys that race snow cross and figure out some good warm gloves that still have good grip to them.

Race in december and they released the schedule for next year, racing Jan and Feb that well be cold too.  Hopefully not muddy mess to boot.
