Just show up and run they have different classes but its all about what ever event you want to join in on and what class you choose to run.
Race schedule http://okgoldrush.net/Schedule.html
Race Classes http://okgoldrush.net/Classes.html

I intend to run quad beginner and quad MX on Friday, quad team race if I can find a partner, or I may just Iron man it and the night race if I can get some lights hooked up on Saturday, and sundays races will have to see what I have left in me and left for quads.

Would it be wrong to run the 250CC and under class for Fridays begginer quad, I am stock bore and only have a PTR TRX Type 6 pipe, and stock suspension other than a set of 450R front shocks. I think I would feel bad mixing it up with some blasters and stuff, but running a mostly stock quad against big bore, built suspsension 4 strokes seems kinda unfair to. Man it stinks being inbetween two classes, I feel I have to much for one but not enough for the other any personal opinions. I may just run open it would be way more humiliating to the 4 stroke guys to get beat by a mostly stock, stock/small bore 2 stroke.

The link you posted for the schedule is for lasat year, this year will be November 7-9th.

Just got a flyer in the mail, says there will be 3 wheeler class. I am going to try to find out if it will be run at the same time as the quads. I will try find this out and post it up when I do.

They need 5 to make a class. I know 2 guys from AR going and I was until I broke my bike. I don't know of anyone else going on 3 wheelers

Knowing how they usually do things, I'll bet 3 wheelers WILL run at the same time as the pros, ams and age/skill classes(all at the same time- it's a big track). I'm honestly waiting to see if I can take some vacation time to do this race-we're super busy at work. Also IDK how well I feel physically and am not sure I'll be able to hang on for the entire race and yes I mean just the short supermoto races. Getting old sucks! A pretty stock will do ok against the 450's if the rider is up to it. You prob won't win, but you will have fun. I have always wanted to do it(the xc) on a ATC, but mine is nowhere even close to running right now.

This is what they sent me yesterday afternoon.

In the Cross Country race, the 3 wheeler and quads will run together but will be scored separately. But in the motocross and super moto races the 3 wheelers and quads will have separate races.

Was out starting to prep my quad for the race and found a 2 inch crack in my swinger that I shortened years ago(not where I shortened it it lol). Luckily I have a spare that has been shortened also and some new bearings for the front of it. The welds look good enough to give it a try HAHA(where they cut it), but I doubt I'll use it much longer than the race-luckily the jumps aren't usually to big. Glad I'm not waiting til the last minute like the dune trip. That crack wasn't there before the dune trip. I'm guessing that after years of mx abuse plus that 8ft drop off to flat at the dunes plus all the jumping down dunes and whoops finally did it in. Anybody need a boat anchor?

BTW do y'all have enough to make a trike class? Mine is down, but I can make a call to Sandtrax and have them contact the only guy I've known to run it on a 3 wheeler and let him know that there is interest in a trike class. I'm not sure if the phone number I have for him is still good.

I was actually going to pick up a ATC250R or TRIZ for the race but, since we will be running together for the XC race im not going to.

The_Steve_Man · « **Reply #24 on:** October 14, 2014, 08:41:05 AM »

Mine is down too. I only know of two guys going to run it. I have been trying to get guys to go six months ago. I was going to run it anyway until my piston broke.
I have good low hour stock cylinder I could get a piston for and get it together. But at this point I doubt I will.

I really wanted to do a trike race but i just dont see it as being worth it at this point. I have just put a brand new topend, chain and sprocket, tires, fresh fluids, grips and other things on the quad so at this point its stupid for me not to race it after the investment I have already made.

The_Steve_Man · « **Reply #26 on:** October 14, 2014, 10:27:03 AM »

I plan on being ready next year. I am putting another bike together so I have backup. A year of riding takes its toll on equipment.

drtydzel · « **Reply #27 on:** October 14, 2014, 10:37:27 AM »

This will be my last year there. I will be moving in the summer next year so I wont be back for a while.

drtydzel · « **Reply #28 on:** October 19, 2014, 07:46:36 PM »

Got my 250R ready for the race, Did a topend, trans fluid, coolant, spark plug, air filter, chain and sprocket, all the grease points. I think shes ready to race hopefully I will see some of you out there. I will be there all three days with my TRX and LT 250R's in tow. If you guys see me feel free to pop in and chat.

I am so jealous. I want my revenge on that track but the way things are going I don't know when I will get the quad there. Being in Alaska sucks for making it down there but when I return I will be setup and ready to rip.

I expect some go pro footage guys. Maybe some editing from the trailer/truck area up to the brief and then staged. The MX jumps aren't huge and you can practically roll them if you're worried about breaking stuff. I hope y'all have a blast out there.
