x.system Posted May 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 I'll let Dan answer that one. Lets just say traction was nowhere to be found for anyone. The track was loose all day, as soon as it was watered the wind was drying it right back out, not giving it time to soak in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x.system Posted May 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Heres the first heat race, my buddy had to leave so he didn't get any footage of the second heat. The track was dry and loose all day, the wind was a big burden, kept blowing dust on the track which made it slippery everywhere. Keep an eye on the website, Mike (the owner) said he will get us on the schedual so people know we are running out there. A tt track was also mentioned by Mike but it would have to be built. I'll post the main event tomorrow, its taking a while to upload the video. There was another crash today which probably totaled the bike, everything was bent or broke. Thankfully the rider was not seriously injured. View My Video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x.system Posted May 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Main event, top 3 in each heat redraw for position. I drew outside pole. About 2 or 3 laps into the race a couple riders got tangled up and caused a bad crash for one rider, this is almost a regular occurance in each main, I've seen alot of bikes get dragged off the track over the last year, mine included. You can see he takes a big fall, thankfully he is not seriously injured but his bike took alot of damage. These guys were all experienced except for the guy you see standing up in the back of the field, no idea why he was doing that. The guy that crashed ran all last year and usually finished in the top 3. Sad thing is he also runs a car at this track and had a huge crash the night before so he had a terrible weekend of racing. The video was broken up into two parts due to the crash. Dan, the guy that crashed was the raptor 700 number 97 Don't know his name.

x.system Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Racing at I-96 today http://www.i96speedway.com (5/19/07) gates open at noon, racing at 1:30. It looks like we will also be running at Mid-Michigan Raceway Park on Sunday (5/20). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x.system Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I-96 was a mudfest, worst I've seen that track, knobby tires would have worked perfect Saturday. We ended up running a few laps on the half mile track just to screw around and help the bikes get a wider groove to run on. 6th gear wide open. Mid michigan raceway was a blast to run on Sunday. We had a couple sets of hot laps then came time for time trials. 8 quads showed up, 7 of the 8 all ran in the 17 second range on the 1/3 mile track only seperated by a couple hundreds of a second. I was 5th fastest. After everyone timed in they made the list then inverted it putting me in 4th position for the heat race instead of 5th. I don't even remember where I finished but it was 4th or 5th, hard track to pass on once your up to speed. We were almost the fastest class out there besides the modifieds, turning around 80 mph on the straights. For the feature they rolled a 5 which means the guy in last place on the inverted list from earlyer goes to the #5 position which put me on the inside pole. It was wierd how that worked, never seen that done before but its still the luck of the draw. I ended up falling from first to third in the first 2 corners and worked my way back into second at the finish. The best part about this track is that at the end of the night, every rider took home some cash. First place wasn't the normal big payout with a little leftover for second and third. Payout was $10 difference for each of the top 5 riders and the last 3 got the same amount I believe. If the owner made any money off of us (riders) it was only like $20 and he wants us there every week. He said if we can get a big group to show up he will do a big money race. I probably should mention, a banshee took first :yucky: :laugh: BUT was not the fastest time. A YFZ had the quickest lap time by .2 sec I really wanted to get some video of this race but my batteries were dead but I will try to get some at the next race.

x.system Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 when is the next race at I-96? id love to come. My schedual shows we are supposed to run this Friday night (6/1/07) but I can't say for sure if we will run or not. We have been running at Mid Michigan Raceway Park every Sunday with the cars on their regular schedaul and most of the guys like this track over I-96 so I don't know if they will be coming out to run 96. All I can say is to call and ask 616-642-0555. I will probably be there but if we don't get the turn out its not a big deal, I live 10 minutes away. You can come out and run at mid michigan on Sunday. Its a bigger track than 96 and alot faster. $25 to enter, every position gets paid back. Gates open at 3, hot laps at 4, time trials at 5 and racing follows. We got out of there around 8 last Sunday. Find the hardest compound tire you can for this track, we chewed up alot of tires last sunday, almost everyone has to replace tires for the next race. The track does have new american racers for quads if you want to buy them there, price was right around $84 per tire for 18/10/10 sd38 compound.
