CORE racing

[Starkman]

I am seriuosly considering racing my dirtbike at the next 100 offroad race out at CORE. Anyone want to pit crew for me? It's May 31st and I need to find out more info but I want to do it real bad.

http://www.coloradooffroadextreme.com/

It's a 100 mile desert style race. I ran a teat day out there with my now sold baja bike and ran 100 miles wide open and I think it would be real fun on my CR250R. I have it setup for that kind of terrain so I should be able to go pretty fast.

Should have asked Me to tag along I still have My KLR600 as back up and I got my YZ built for the track it still needs some minor tweeking and a set of tires so I take the KLR just in case the YZ breaks .
I wanted to go to the track really bad today .I went last sunday the riding was perfect .and the bike road great except the front forks are a little too stiff I think I need to take out some oil and reduce the air some .I stayed at home in My Garage this weekend and swapped out My flywheel in the 84 BII it really sounds sweet just need to finish the shift boot and check the fluids and hook up some vent line and change a exaust gasket and bolt up the skid plate .
Hows about a little practice run next week? either Core or The other track i go to its alittle closer right off I-70 lots fo jumps and tight turns

Night rides are cool...

I am almost ready to go to the races. Got a new set of Michelin tires, suspension is at the tuner, be back early next week.

Geared for about 100 MPH, Game on!

[84broncoII]

Night rides are cool on a motorcycle through the forest in the middle of the summer when its hot and not after a heavy wind where there might be fallen trees to closline someone .I think those guys are insaine to do it this time of year .but thats just Me LOL.

[bronc_17113]

rich unfortunately im booked that day. I had no clue you could get a 250 to 100 mph though wow

[Starkman]

I will be installing a speedo on it for this race. So I guess we will see.

2001 Honda CR250R is 214 pounds dry with 44 HP at the rear wheel. When I raced Supermoto with it I was amaised how fast it would go, but no actual proof.

I went out and watched there last races two weeks ago. My brother-in-law is building a vehicle to enter in the races later this year.

For spectators take the following: hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, chair, cooler, binoculars (is a ten mile track), and hand held radio.

[84broncoII]

I went to CORE today to scope things out I road the KLR because it is a milder track and I wanted to open up the KLR600 and see what it'll really do .It was very quiet out there today I only saw two other bikes and some beatle bugs as they were leaving I didnt get there till after 3 .My service manual specs say the klr will do 77MPH top speed @ 6000 RPM what it doesnt say is it'll do 84 MPH @ 7000RPM The wind was blowing about 35-40 mph from the south so I didnt get a fast reading along the straight near the highway only 75MPH there but along the back northeast heading north and then from that corner down hill heading west I felt like I was litterally flying I went around the track several times it is a fast track except for the offcamber turns and no good berms but Im shure that'll change as the track gets broken in better .The only thing i dont like about this bike is its wieght I cant get any good air with it as it tends to bottom out too easy .No wrecks and the 84 BII did a good job of hauling all My gear and the dog painter I road around the first lap with her sitting on the tank and handlebars she loves to ride and throws a fit if I dont take her when I go .Next time I go I want to do a lap time with the KLR600 and then some practice with the YZ400 and a lap time with it to see if there is a difference i know there'll be a difference with the jumps just don't know about top speed on that one .It would have been alot more fun to have had someone there to race with but I like the idea of having My own space to scope out the track as well .although it was a bit dangerous if I had gotten hurt i more than likely would have been on My own till the park opened up in the morning.

[Starkman]

I went to CORE today

Sounds like fun. My suspension is not ready yet so my plan is to go out next weekend. I need to do some wide open runs to determine fuel economy for the race. The CR has a 3 gallon tank so I think I can do the entire race with one fuel stop.

Are you coming out on the 31st?
I may come out and test out the Bronco a little, since we just got it started yesterday after sitting for 8 months.

[Walking Eagle]

Here is my brother in law's work so far on building a racer out at CORE. I picked up a Bronco from Don (bronc_17113) so I could pull the motor for my Bronco, then passed it off.

His plan is to rebuild my old motor, build the required roll cage, install the safety harnesses, run it in 2wd drive with the small tires, install and weld gears in the rear axle, dove tail front and back, get rid of the topper, and see what happens.

As we've seen out at CORE, it's whoever finishes wins.

Where are the pictures? I like pictures!

[84broncoII]

They have a event schedualed today ,a rally . So: no practice there today. Want to go to the other track? Got to head out early weather says its gonna start raining @ 11;00 and rain and thunder the rest of the day:glasses10:

[Starkman]

I am planning on Monday morning. I am going with a friend, you in. I want to be there early so I can be back by 1 PM. I have a dump can to try out. If that works I will have lightning quick fuel stops.

[84broncoII]

Man-o-man I went to Jacks Moto track today from about 10 till I just got home and Im Beat-UP!I practiced one track almost all day .there are so many jumps and turns on each track it is imposible for Me to master a whole track all at once .This track I practiced on I almost have down .there are still three big jumps I avoid and Jack says He's gonna take out one all together cause a coupla guys got hurt on it its too far apart 3rd or fourth gear jump with nothing in-between the landing so it has to be stuck ...Well all three have to be stuck and Im just not there yet.i did practice in the sand turns for awile but dumped so I rested and went back to the other track and got in a little race with another guy and I was winning four times around the track but I got tired and so did He .Jack took some Pics of Me flying through the air some of the jumps I can do I get fourty feet of airtime plenty to do the jumps Im afraid of but we'll see maby one of these days when I get alittle more used to the bike .
I'll try to make it tomarrow morning but We will see im thinking im gonna be sore as ,all-get-out ! I have a tendone barking at Me from My left wrist as i type this Im gonna wrap it up soon as i get done typing .You gonna park near the trailer when You get there? or do You have a favorite spot I should know about ?

Well Im up I'lll do the three s's and grab some gas on the way I lost two gascans yesterday when a strap holding them broke so i'll have to improvise /fix one of My old steel cans take one for posterity im pretty shure the YZ is out of this competition as the top speed is only about 55-60 mph I think and I don't want to change the gearing it works perfect for the other track

[84broncoII]

I was the LONE STRANGER today as the only one that showed for a practice work-up. The track was muddy and not good for practice unless its gonna be really muddy the day of the race . Here are some pics before it started to rain again sorry didn't get any pics after the rain.http://www.rmftc.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=34&pictureid=292

Its all good about the riding ;/.One of these days LOL .I didnt really do much when I went I took two laps around with Painter on the tank .I walked around for awile trying to streach My lags I road very hard sunday so I was just trying to relax I changed the spark plug and checked the fluids its been awile and they were kinda low Thr third lap I did alone and it started to rain so i left it got very muddy and I spent an hour just cleaning the bike when I got home .

[84broncoII]

Im thinking if I go I'll probably head over to CORE Saturday evening stay the night with the Camper that way I dont have to load up and drive then unload so early in the morning way too much for Me before 7am in the morning.I should be cumfy in this >>>>>
Its old but it still works :thumbsup:http://www.rmftc.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=18&pictureid=214
I picked up one of those fancy gascans yesterday man they are pricy ,almost 50 bucks at performance cycle with a spout. i havent decided which bike to enter if either 60 bucks is kinda pricy for an entry and another twenty for a spoter?? besides that I dont have a pit crew :eek: I think I could swing it if it was only 35bucks and no spotter fee that just doesnt seem right to Me :confused:

[Starkman]

Nice, home away from home.

I bought this last night at Sun Honda. It cost $50 with the quick fill cap.

If you don't race you can help me...

[84broncoII]

The gascan I got looks similar I couldnt afford the fancy poor no drip spout though it just has a simple hose but the poor rate is similar as per My home expieriment 2 gallons 12 seconds and its not messy if i am carefull im still keeping a towel nearby LOL

[84broncoII]

as of this posting I still dont know if there is going to be a race today at CORE Im heading out there anywhay I figure there'll still be some riding .the reason for maby no race is the rain yesterday :thumbsup:

[Starkman]

OK, here is what James and I did today.

As you may know it rained 1.99" at CORE last night. So it was very muddy. I did a stupid thing a fell down on my practice lap and the handlebar dug into the soft dirt and snapped the left bar clean off.

James, you going out?

I am...

[bronc_17113]

you guys really have to mention this stuff sooner

[84broncoII]

James, you going out?

PM sent

[Starkman]

Just checked the web site and the race was cancelled. Too much mud.

[bronc_17113]

So what kind of races are these cc limit? 4 strokes? 2 strokes? How much gear do they require u to wear?

[84broncoII]

No limit on CC's that i know of .They try to run same cC's in the same catagory for payouts and year end overall points but usually all bikes kinda run together just cause there isn't enough in any one class to run seperate They start 30 seconds apart one at a time on a 10 mile track so You dont really see anyone unless You are passing .the quads even run at the same time after all the bikes have started then the start the quads .then they wait till all the bikes and quads are done to start the dirtbuggy and truck classes
all I know they checked at check in was helmet and maby boots i didnt see anyone without a chest protector,eye protection and gloves though they also tech the bikes probably check nuts and bolts and brake levers and pegs .they dont say exactly what they're checking fo on the bikes at least they didnt to Me they dont require spark arresters as its a closed track and Im pretty shure there isn't a noise limit either .you could probably run trials tires knobbies or enduro just as long as they arent bald .and have some tread left on them :eek: all the info You could ever want is on the website http://www.coloradooffroadextreme.com/ look for the rulebook or list of rules they also sell a copy of the rulebook at the time of the race I think its ten bucks .The rule book also has some race fees as well for the different classes

[bronc_17113]

sound slike too much gear for my tatse

[84broncoII]

Well I cant be shure of course ?i think they only check and double check for competitors in the race.For the average Joe??maby you could ride in Your speedo's:eek: I dont know if they have a nudey section but I havent seen any signs so I think not :D

[Burg460]

I have been wanting to take my quads out to CORE along with some buddies. Maybe next year/spring time.

[84broncoII]

the track is very fast for quads especially in the corner sections i dont know what the top speed on a quad is but they usually kick ass in the corners from what Ive seen

Sounds like a plan oh wait u didnt mean me lol

[Burg460]

Sounds like a plan oh wait u didnt mean me lol

Yeah right! You fall under the buddies category. I am going to have to get me a 2 stroke being everyone else I know seems to have one now. :idea: My poor little 500 might be a bit of a pig in the weight class. lol :D

[bronc_17113]

Hahahahahah well see here real soon with any luck

[Starkman]

Going out tomorrow. The race starts at 10:30.

[Starkman]

Well I showed up and won.
My little CR hit a top speed of 79 MPH. Not many bikes there but lots of cars.
