Anyone raced this before?It would be fun to race in Laughlin just curious about it.
-
Sounds like a pretty technical race. One guy said it was 80 miles long and took him about 4.5 hours to finish.
I am considering doing some out of state races next year but this one is on the same weekend as the Prairie Dogs GP.
I am planing on doing all the GP's next year. Sounds like a few others are planing on doing more of them also.
-
I have done it four or five times. They run it as a figure eight loop about 20 mile loops which the leaders do one loop in about 45 minutes, very tight rocky and now hoops you will want to do it as a team. It is a short but very hard race, years ago before it was all whoop out it was one of the best race of the BITD series now unless Casey has made some Major course changes it is a ass kicker.

Thanks,so its more difficult than a D37 national hare n hound?
Anyone want to try it as a team?
-
It will kick your ass if you are not in shape, it is on par with a very hard national loop over and over, the thing is there is no pushing of the bike or any thing that you can not ride thru, it is just relent less. It beats you every step of the way. Gear for moto cross and start with new brakes and a good clutch you will know you did something at the end of the day.

If Charley said its tough then it's TOUGH
-
Like Donn said, if CB said it is hard and you are still wanting to do it then you are sick. ;D
As I said, the guy was talking about the 2008 or 2009 race and said it took him 4.5 hours to do 80 miles.
I am not up for a race like that yet.
-
Yeah that does sound a bit extreme.I am game though if i could find a partner.
This sounds like something Aaron would be interested in.
Thanks for the tips.
-
That does sound like the sort of bad idea that I would be interested in. Unfortunately I have to work that Friday and Saturday. It says it is a 3 day event.
-
it is a three day event, Friday is check in at sign up, race on Saturday and awards on Sunday. I have worked and been in court until 2:00pm on Friday in downtown LA drive like hell and just made sign up as it closed friday night but it was close. YOU CAN DO IT Aaron!! You need some time off anyway.

Yea, Aaron and Terry would represent the club well, come on Aaron, make the commitment.
Terry, you are an animal!
-
Damn you people and your peer pressure!
;D
-
Oh what did i start here.Ha ha!You only live once.
-
So the 50 membership fee, is that per team or person? How much is entry? Would we be on your bike?
-
How about a cost analysis and pie chart too?
-
Go to BITD.com for all the info. I would say a 200,250 or 300 is the size of choice.
CB
-
$50 is just the yearly member fee.Entry is $300 which we would split down the middle.
Pricey i know but it would be fun.We could use my bike if you want.
-
I think I am going to have to decline this one Terry. :'( I really would like to but we are supposed to close escrow next week on a house and any really costly races or bike repairs might get put on hold depending on situations with the old house/ tenant.
