Judging from most of the posts you put up about your Mechanic and the questions that you are asking because he cant answer.... You're better off with out him.

 

[El Mamito USMC]

Hes mostly a yzf guy. But I guess time will tell. Cant wait to go riding on my quad again.

He Baily why dont u join us for the Baja 500?

After talking with the family, well looks like I am in..

background: started racing XC 3 yrs ago. first in over 30c group the last two yrs over 4b. I am not a "b" rider but they do not have a over 40c group. I am on a 05 450r, with stock motor, pipe, air box top off, +4 front and back, with elkas 3 stage shocks. I am no where "fast" for my group, but i always finish. after 6 races this yr i am sitting on 4th spot. my bike hampers me more then anything i think due to the +4 at some points in the track I am rubbing tires to trees get through so it takes me a little longer.

I think I have our last guy. He is the points leader for my group, and a crazy fast sob. I judge my race by how many times he laps me. If he only passes me once, i am doing good!! I think he is out of town racing this weekend, but did tell me that he wanted in.

I know that we have talked about which stage of the race we will all be racing. Mamito, since you know the area better than all of us I think it's only far that you arrange our race order. All of us should end up with around 125ish miles. I'll post a link to the type of terrain that I am used to racing. If everyone else does the same maybe that would help you out.

Welcome to the team Chris!! Hope to hear from and get to know you. This is once in a life time and June can't get here soon enough.

Here is the link that shows the terrain:

This of course is not me. I tried to get this guy to join our team. He has one race left in this season and when it's over he will be crowned the 2013 NHHA champion. If you want FLEXX handle bars for your quad he is the guy to talk to.

 

[Vasilios]

I love wrenching on my 450 . Pure satisfaction. She has come a long way in a year.

 

[stinky93071]

You guys need some trees in and around your tracks..lol.. here are a few vids of our tracks.. (no me )but on the track at the same time as me. (this is the first row I think my class is 4th row to go)

first race of this yr.

https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/I9PBWulucXY?feature=oembed
anyway.. i hope i have what it takes to do this.. I have 2x my workout and planning getting 2 weekends a month of seat time to help out with training..

first welcome to Chris to the team.. and it looks so far that the order will be the same as its listed in team members..

ill take the first stage so i can get in and out so i can chase for everyone else..

Vasilios will take the second part which will be the summit and some rocky sections, which hes used to ride..

then Mawest will take the speed course of the El Saldana(the south part of the Laguna salada) and getting into mikes skyranch..

and stinky will take the last leg which it were more "woods" are...

AGAIN THIS IS JUST IN CASE ITS SIMILAR TO THIS YEARS COURSE..

thing are bound to change.

also guys ill be staying in a new hotel for this 1000 and ill check it out to see if it fits our needs for equipment safety and parking of if were going to stay on the orginal one..

also i want to reserve the hotel near december so if you guys can please deposit at least 500 each ill be great so we have rooms..

also i need to know if were going to start prerunning on saturday or sunday. the sooner Vasilios can get to my place the sooner i can leave. ill be avaliable to leave anytime on friday...

one thing guys.. remember to buy your radio helmet harness and if you guys want so radios for your truck i can hook you guys up. aprox 300 each..

PLEASE CONSIDER THIS OPTION:

since were only 4 riders., we could do the SPORTMAN class.. it cheaper than Class 25(PRO) and ill be a few miles shorter... if its similar to this years set up. ill be 396 miles... so close to 100 miles each.

i think this migth be good since im not sure if we can keep up the pace for a PRO level (speed and skills)... please think about this..

i want to race a decent amount of miles for the $ were putting but we also need to be realistic about it...

a few questions

Will we have a gps on the quad (map)

Do we need to have copies or original (or any) titles for our quads to get in and out of us/mexico?

What is the gear (personal) should we look into or have?

What are the must to have on our quads for pre-running? (recommended tire sized as well)

I am sure there are more but thats just off the top of my head..

I will get you the $$ I will be doing two drops of 800 (and if more if needed) but i have to wait till after the 15th of oct. I am on the road starting friday and will not get to the bank till i get back.

 

[mawest]

My thought is...lets do the full 500. I think that we can keep a decent pace. May not be the fastest but I still think we will be okay. If the others vote otherwise, I will be satisfied with it.

Which would you prefer Mamito??

 

[mawest]

Chris... here are my thoughts to your post

You'll want full riding gear. Helmet, goggles, gloves, chest protector, boots, long sleeve riding shirts and pants. Some riders wear leg and knee pads too. I like to wear palm savers under my gloves.

I have 23 in the front and 22 in the back for tires. You'll want a full skid plate and nerf bars.

I am not sure about the GPS.

From my research you do not have to have any records to get your quad back into the states. May not be a bad idea though.

I may be forgetting something. So lets see what the others have to say.

I have a question for you guys. My engine is bone stock. I am thinking about putting in a stage 2 hot cam. Do you guys think that it makes your engine less reliable? I am skeptical to do it.

--no we wont have a gps on the quad, but if someone has one we could use it..so that same owner can have it back at the end of the race..

-- you need 2 uniforms (one for prerunning and a clean one for race day, optional), SNELL 2010 approved helmet, neck brace, boots. chest protector and boots. the only thing that Score will check is the Helmet..

-- i run with 23, 22.. and you defenetly need skid plates all over... nice arms and suspension(i can hok you up if you need too) , i can get you also rear suspension with link if you need it.

and i just for all us 4 just 1.5K per rider so 750 a time its ok.. if you bring he friend he only needs to put $ for his room. all his expenses are on him...

BTW my quad is TWIST THROTTLE so you guys i highly advise you to practice with one..

to be honest not sure... we can defeently keep a decent pace and fisnish but we will be paying a lot more for 25 miles per rider .. let see how much the cut will be and ill bring it to vote once the time comes..

yes YOU DO NEED YOUR CURRENT REGISTRATION TO BRING THE QUAD TO BAJA

its still reliable but remember to jet it properly... i can hook you up with parts if you need ..

GUYS REMEMBER TO SEND THE $ AS GIFT SO WE DONT LOOSE ANY FEES TO PAYPAL..

 

[stinky93071]

what gps is recommended and can we get something from score to load on it so we have points to shoot for?

my motor is stock. I do not feel the need to change anything in it due to reliability but thats just me.

I have full skids on it (no counting the arms) I have nerf bars and suspension. but have to go see my guy to get it setup for this. Might need need new link I will see. (link to a pic https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=553496274693285&set=t.1297793061&type=3&theater )

I will bring a copy of my title (need to put it in my name as well) but we do not have registration here on them.

 

[Vasilios]

Stage two hot cams rips mawest I have a stage two and a three and changing the cam isn't really going to affect the quads reliability. Just the power curve. Make sure it's shimmed correctly and you get a good intake. And your gonna need to rejet
