I just found out about a sand drag strip just a few miles out of Great Falls Mt. They have ATV classes too so think the ATC250R and a 350 Ody with a 40HP shot of nitrous should be fun. I will add more info n stuff soon. Anyone one else intersted? Fully? Nitrosport? You guys are kinda close.25/26 Aug

boy oh boy... i will habe to talk with my stepdad and see if he wants to make the trip. would be fun to bring the 670 pilot.


on a side note, still planning a juniper trip?

Yup, still looking at Sept at Juniper and some steelhead fishing. Let me know if you are coming, I can put you up while you are here. I have seen Dennis's 670 Pilot in action....runs great.

im really thinking about coming. it would be about a 7hr trip for me. gotta see whats goibg on closer to the end of the month

It was a great weekend. I ended up being a site photographer for the 2 days...1500 pictures!

The Saturday ATV sand drags was mostly dirt with a hint of sand so the ATC250R with padddles was way too much bite, absolutely couldnt keep the front down the entire track. Raced against bikes n quads. Pretty sure the trike could of beat anything there except I couldnt get out of the hole with a stock swingarm. Crowd enjoyed me doing wheelies out the finish line I think.

I ran the BV400/350 Ody on the tuff truck course Sunday. Its a lot of steep jumps, log climbs, table tops, mud, long straight aways, high banked turns, hill climbs, serpentine, etc. It was maybe 3/4 or a mile long then a u turn and return the same path. They asked if I wanted to run the ody with the off road trucks on the course. I said sure but its not 4 wheel drive. Starting line had a huge knee deep puddle of muck, (mud water clay etc). They made you put the front tires in to start, barely get thru the start before shorting out the plug with water. I didnt go 10 feet after that, lol. I taped it boot closed for the 2nd attempt. It was awfully rough even with Works shocks. I busted both front fenders on the log crossing or table tops on the return trip. I didnt know how fast to hit em being I did not do any practice runs or even walk the thing. Anyway, I ended up 2nd place by 1/100th of a second and was very conservative driving most of the time. Money was good, paid for all the gas n entry fees with about $50 left over....cant buy new fenders with that!

I have a ton of pics to post but just have these on my cell phone for now.

There is another race 22 Sept about an hour from here. The have an AMX course???? Said its a kidney shaped track with some long sweeping humps n banked corners plus the sand(dirt) drag strip with the tree also. If I can get 3 rigs there, he will make a class just for us. I have a buddy who just got a 580 RZR, he wants to try it. Anyone else interested?

Oh ya, my battery was toast so that is a jumper box strapped to the ass end. Not pretty but worked. My redneckedness coming out again!

looks like it was a good time. sorry i couldnt make it. Where is the next race? I think i start school the week after that race but just somthing to consider.

Havre Mt area, few miles from Alberta Canada.Fully is up there somewhere too.

School comes first! Still heading ur way soon hopefully ...Juniper dunes?

This is all I have found on this race place.... http://www.lohmanmotorsports.com/photos.php

Juniper is definitely doable. only about a 2hr drive. got a few guys that would probably love to come with. Let me know a date and i can see what i can do.

OK, will do.

Auto Moto Xross? NOW that looks fun pick up a ole 200.00 beater and have some fun lol

Looks like fun,don't spose anybody got any video of you racing those trucks around?

Actually there was some videos being taken from the pits. I will get my memory card back from the guy this weekend then will post tons of pictures.

There was an aluminum framed buggy with a tripple 700 sled Engine with nitrous. I was in awe of it. I took lots of pics of it up close and racing.

Some pics of the competitors. I couldnt take pics of myself but am trying to find some. I was number 11 so there was at least that many in the tuff truck race.
