forgetting some stuff. this is the bike im taking down to the baja 1000 to practice on the team im on is racing in the pro 450 class.

Pretty cool...

Good to go!

thanks. im so excited to go down there even though im going to feel like a retart riding with the best of the best

Good looking bike there.......would be kinda fun to ride down in that

where you from and who will be on your team??

gold wheels are tight, you dont those enough anymore

looks great should have gotten a different bumper though...that isnt going to stuff anything lol... but i guess you dont plan on hitting anything lol..good luck and it looks good

Quad looks good man. Ready to rock and roll!




All you have to do is have a good trouble free run and you guys will do good. Make sure the bike is well prepped, your pit strategy is worked out, and just get the quad to the finish. With these long races, you do not have to be the fastest out there, you just need to be the one that has the least problems. Have fun and be safe down there!

This might be a stupid question but do you change the oil at all during the race? i assume the answer would be yes but you'd have to do it quickly, haha

Can not speak for everyone, but I doubt anyone does. You will check the level and add some if needed. I know if I was racing the 1000, I wouldn't do it, you loose to much time. The longest continuous race I have ever done was just under 600 miles, we did not change the oil during it.

This past August we raced a 1,000 mile race, but it was staged over three days, so we raced just over 300 miles a day. After you finished for the day, you were given one hour of free time to work on your quad. That race, I changed the oil every day during the free hour, but if it was straight through 1,000 miles, I would not have changed it.

Doug

so...how well does a 450r run after a 600mile race?

Just as good as it did at the beginning. Actually, after the 600 mile race we did, I tore the motor down, it looked perfect. I just replaced the piston, put it back together, and ran it for the rest of the season and most of the next before I tore it down again.

Doug

Your ready for the road

Nice quad bro, it looks sikk. Keep a look out for my buddy Ken from Canada he is on the Nuttbar Racing Team

missing the oversized fuel tank for the extra fuel believe me down there in Baja the extra gallon of gas i comes in handy whe u get a bit lost!

We won! class 24 450cc professional. we did not change the oil during the race. we had some major prolems but were lucky enough to still beat the second place team by 7 hours and the third place team by 9 hours. we blew a shock out and blew aprt a rear hiper 70 miles before i got on the bike and the guy had to limp it all the way to me to change it out. that cost us about 4 hours. when the shock blew out we had passed everyone in our class and everyone besides Matlock in class 25 the Open Pro class we were only 17 minutes behind him.

Did ya blow out a Evol or the Axis rear ??

that was just my practice bike one of my canadian teamate built he race bike and he works for elka so we had to run elka shocks all around. they werent bad but they werent fox or axis shocks if ya know what i mean

congrats on the race!

I always wanted to do a baja 1000 race. They look hella fun to me. haha

east coast atv? do u know tom wright. hes my neighbor and he actually won the baja for the 450 class this year and is spondored by east coast

u had to be on his team. his number is 104a also.
