I found these photos of a race from back in the day at Perris. I just thought it would be interesting to see if anyone on vital is in these photos I found... mainly in the background of this first photo or on the starting gate of the second photo... Side note: the pink pants with white jersey is clearly because I loved Wardy

My first year in 99 I made it as an alternate in super mini. I got 12th, I beat over half the field. Did I still get smoked in your eyes?

He did get a fan for life in 2001 though. Gave me his goggles after one of his motos. Few years later got a team ECC Suzuki jersey at Daytona. Hope to race him next year in 40+.

No wonder he has completely changed his whole persona and became the whipping boy.

All the board has to do is say no and any members proposal is tossed in the garbage. A new proposal has to be proposed and voted. That persons ticky-tack protest got an emergency rule change done though. You can’t take constructive criticism. I honestly feel this thread shares a negative light on FTR. And should be flushed. I haven’t...

1) No problems with tear-offs. We do at times have a trash problem in the pit area. Which is some what expected. Also expected to use the dumpster/s on the way out. 2) Again no problems, but club could tell land owner we want to ban tear-offs. Land owner, I like it. Club, land owner has banned tear offs even...

I’ve asked multiple legit questions and he has not responded. Only chose to reply back to you and say you’re not adding anything constructive. Neither is he at that point. Sure you pushed his buttons. If this post was really about getting a consensus to make things better though. Why not answer questions asked and hold a normal conversation. Could...

He asked for opinions. He got one from a guy in his area. You may not agree but I don’t think the guy was out of line for replying.

I’m not sure how your scenario is a safety issue. That’s more of a rider awareness problem no? Safety is more of id’ing the rider bc the rider is down/hurt and people need to be notified? If you’re fresh from the AA class you’d know immediately if that rider is in your class or not way before you saw backgrounds...

I’m fixing to build a personal bike for myself to ride. If you’ve seen my last couple 250’s, you’d know I like to use oem kawi stuff to do restyle kit. This one idk what I want to do with it. Do you guys feel the oem restyle looks just as bad as the aftermarket restyle kit? I personally don’t...

I can’t post up any enduro that I personally recall that happening at. I can assure you if it did happen at an FTR property, FTR would for sure have a header wrap rule in place. I’ve been in FTR since 93, only fires I can recall from bikes I stated earlier in here. I could be wrong though, I’ve...

That club makes us do it rain or shine. I could be wrong. But I don’t ever recall a fire happening at the Strickland ranch bc of a header. This is the only club in FTR that makes us do this. It is their club rule. Problem I have with the wrap is only bikes in FTR have to do...

I think banning tear-offs vs making an helmet id tag rule would put more towards the good ol boy system. If the Ama puts a ban on it then ok. I don’t think it’s FTRs duty though. Has the club your with had an issue with tear offs? Or any club for that matter? I’m not aware of it. I...

I am. When you came up on the kid like you told motodad. You could have scanned and radioed back exactly who it was. I don’t know motodad. Just using that post as a reference.

I am aware. Confused though on where that fits in the conversation. We haven’t have a fire start from a spark arrestor issue. All been from issues you couldn’t control. The state doesn’t require us to have them to ride on state land. Great idea to have just incase a random fire does start with the amount of people we...

We both know the video and backup scoring sheet only gets looked at “IF” there is a problem. We both also know the “someone” would be the score keeper watching the video or looking at the sheet. That person is in a paid position. If it’s such and issue. Why isn’t it a rule to have an id tag on...

As you’re talking about spark arrestors… and honestly tears offs aren’t a problem in FTR. The problem is the official don’t want to enforce the rules we already have and just continue to make new one. If FTR has a rule in their rule books, it trumps AMA rules. If we don’t have it in our rule book we use...

State of Florida doesn’t even require spark arrestors for our ohv parks. The fires we have had at the races aren’t even from sparks. One a silencer fell off a two stroke (like 2012), a quad had an electrical fire (around 2007) and this year a kids tank broke.
