hey just wondering how everyone did at the gncc race at crawfordsville yesterday. it was a crazy race. the mud was pretty bad in spots. the last water crossing before the big hill before entering the feild was really bad. exspecially in the afternoon. i bet my friend and i pulled 100 plus quads out all day. my 6'11" ass looked rediculous out there trying to pull people out coverd in mud from head to toe. i got asked numberous times if i was racing lol. just wondering how everyone did.

Got Wood, had a bad holeshot, 20th or so in the woods, got up to 9th after the first lap, then 6th, then 5th. . . not even a mile into the 4th lap it died on me, I got it fired back up and got back to the trailor because I thought I was low on fuel. . . opened up the tank and I had enough to run another lap so I closed it up. About another mile it dies again, the ve3nt tube ontop of the tank was clogged so i ripped the tip off, and took off again. . . little while later it happened again. . . I was squeezing and sucking on the hose trying to get the mud out. . It died 4 times on the 4th lap slowing me WAY down, ending up 7th. The track was GREAT! the parking lot was Horrible as always! The parking lot is the worst part of the whole race

ya the parking lot sucks so bad...you try to stay clean till the race starts but there is no way thats going to happen. the last water crossing before the big hill leading into the woods was so bad. well in the morning it wasnt terrible but by the afternoon it was so bad the pros were getting stuck and like every lap minus the first one. my friend and i had to push balance (bill not brandon) on the second or 3 lap. he took such a bad line. we got him out fast though. then on the final lap he took a horrible line and almost got stuck and rolled back or got pushed back down into the water and took way to long to do that section... got passed there to finish 3rd and he barely did that beat mcgill by like a tire.

thats the only way. if you dont keep it pinned you are screwed. but nice work on not getting stuck it was pretty nasty so that deserves a job well done lol. so what kind of vent hose did you have the stock one still or what. pretty crazy it got clugged that many times.

it was one of those stupid short ones with the nice little cap on top, should have thought about it, I've had trouble with those before clogging up. . . Won't happen again, I'll have a long hose hidden under the front from now on
