- Thread starter roperacer
- Start date
no dj frame for prizes,,just cash and other gear
This sounds awesome. Will my 6inch travel bike be enough for the intermediate trail?
Thats what im thinking so as long as u pay the $30 for each class entry
Man, I'm excited about this race! We've got brand new trail that is really fun to ride, and we're changing things up a bit for this round!
For the Intermediate and Expert classes, we'll run the upper section of Trail 1, (same as last time), then connect to the Funky Tree Trail after the shuttle road. This gives us the longest run on the small side of the mountain, and it links together jumps, drops, fast and flowy sections, rock gardens, as well as a gnarly technical bolder field! What else could you possibly want?!?
The Beginner class will start at the beginning of the Funky Tree Trail, then cut onto the bottom section of Trail 1. That will make for a fun, but challenging run that I think beginners will appreciate. There are some small jumps, rock gardens and drops, but there are go-arounds for anything that might be tricky for ya!
Hey Rob, of course you can sign up for more than one class as long as you pay your $30 bucks for each one!! That's how I'm guaranteeing myself a podium spot; I'm throwing in $90 and racing expert, intermediate and beginner!!!
Just kiddin' dude. 
Like I said, it's gonna be good, and I'm looking forward to it! Expert class has cash payout three deep, so that's fun, and we'll have some pretty good swag for the rest of the winners!
Nothing too serious about our races; no big corporate sponsors or new newfangled equipment like chairlifts! Juts some fun bragging rights races so that you can wear out your buddies!!
Just post up if you've got any questions! Come on out and bring your friends!

real flyer
I rode TTC for the first time since last years race last weekend. The trails are realy good now and there is a lot more of them. The shuttle road that you could barely get a 4WD up last year you can now drive right to the top in a 2WD truck. If we support these guys and there race this may become one of if not the best place to ride DH in the south.
Thanks for the kind words man! Quite a few people have come together and put in a ton of time out there, and we're really seeing the payoff now! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I rode out there yesterday, and drove a 2 wheel drive pickup to the top as well with no problem, except for it's long wheelbase. The trails are GREAT, and could even use a little bit of moisture to knock down the dirt.
We'll just hope for dry weather for the race!
By the way, if this hasn't been made clear yet, if the weather is wet nearing the race, we will cancel it a few days a head of time, (as far ahead as possible), and reschedule. Last year's mud fest was fun, but we'd like to try this out in the dry!
and if we do reschedule, it will be the following saturday.and if it is wet then,we will be racing trail#4. it is shorter, but it is a 2wd drive shuttle. or maybe even the big side, it is a paved road.
also,, it will probably be a best of 2 runs, Beginner class will go back to back, and the Intermediate and expert class will be decided race day!
Dude rescheduling is not good. Stick to a date, why reschedule? Now Beach is doing it again too.
race will be over in the afternoon, you could drive back in the nite,,bring a driver. :O)
Hey K where yat in LA?
I'll be there! Is anyone else from the G-Vegas area going?
so far, the 15 day forecast says it is sunny a few days before the race, and sunny on race day,,,,lets hope it stays that way!!!!!
Can you put up directions again?
I hope we race "wide open", because even after an intense hail & rain storm yesterday it was still ride-able and shuttle-able....not to mention fun as hell. The dirt shuttle rode on the small side almost had its first white cross after i tried to drive down in jeremys Z-71...super sketch when wet 
Is everything still a "go" for the race on the 8th?
hell yea!!!!!
Mostly Sunny
A few clouds. Highs 21 to 23C and lows 7 to 9C.
A few clouds. Highs in the low 70s and lows in the upper 40s.
hahaha,,, now they are calling for no rain and a high of 74

Good to hear, I'll be there, I'm trying to talk to a few of the locals to ride up there with me and give some grassroots love!
How did the trail hold up to all the rain you guys got?

Is there any pics of the course? Just curious, I'll be there regardless, gotta try and get out and support the grassroot effort's in the SE.
thats on the beg. run
Can I go around this? I think my bars are too wide and I'll get stuck!

Really good grassroots race. The course was big bike worthy and really tough to race fast.
