who would be interested in some XC racing?

insaneZ400shane · 02-20-2009, 06:09 PM

since there are no official xc races in alberta or even with 1000km of here, who would like to meet up and hold our own? im in the middle of my rebuild but would be ready by spring (mid april).
4x4 and 2x4 classes, all open cc, could be fun. anyway just a thought

ghglenn · 02-22-2009, 10:40 PM

I would be interested for sure. I think the AOTMX has a XC race here in Edmonton area?

insaneZ400shane · 02-28-2009, 01:13 PM

really? could you get some info?

cobbycat · 03-02-2009, 02:14 PM

I'm from B.C. but I would be interested. would there be a class for heavily modded quads?

HagmanMod1 · 03-02-2009, 08:56 PM

i know a sh#t load of guys that would be interested mainly in the 4x4 class we all got modded 4bys

You would get a hell of a turn out with that and some mud pits.And some4x4 quad drags ,if you could get all this in a weekend you will overrun the place.
Need to tie it in to Darwell tractor pulls or a simalar event.It would get huge support in our area.... Interested anyone?????

oyea i would be to, and all so no a ton of people that would be to.

insaneZ400shane · 03-06-2009, 03:06 PM

not so sure about drags and mud bogs, there seems to be enough of that as it is. im talking XC like the gncc series, tight trails, hills, etc. if we get enough guys who would commit to this, we could prob get a real event going. there is a post in the dirtbike events forum by Rocky Mountain House Motorcycle Club, silver fox thinks that there could be some promise to the idea. anyone with interest in this lets all email him.

cobbycat · 03-09-2009, 11:18 AM

I would be seriously interested if my quad doesn't sell. or if it does sell will there be a 4x4 class for something like a 500 scrambler? would love to go race!

Too bad these guys look like the only Quad classes are Ice and MX. None in the Hare scrambles that I can see.

I don't have any race experience but would be interested in racing amature XC as long as the quads were reletively equil. If one guy is on a Honda 400EX and the next guy is on a $15000+ race built 450 then it takes away from the competition.

For the guys who would be interest in 2wd XC what kind of quads are you running?

I'm on a stock Can Am 450 with aftermarket intake+exhaust.

I would think having a few different classes would solve most of that. I wouldn't mind racing once I get a quad, but for me the lack of seat time would hinder me more than a stock machine. IMO most of the new 450's are far more capable than most of the riders out there.

JJ69 · 03-20-2009, 07:48 PM

i'd have my 700xX there in a second.

Agreed, I don't have a ton of experience but again if we had a begginner class with about 8-12 guys (might be tough) I think it would be a lot of fun. Where are these hypothetical races at?
