Today I attended my first ATV national.The race was at the famous Unadilla MX track in central,ny. I've been watching bikes race here since the late 80's and I've never seen anything as fast as the pro quads I saw today.The fastest lap time was 2 min and 20 seconds.Ricky Carmichaels fastest lap time at Unadilla is 2 min and 38 seconds.The machines these guys ride are insane too, only the best of the best in parts and mods. John Natalie led moto1 until he crashed or had mech probs( i couldnt see from where I was at).Travis Spader won moto1. Moto 2 was all Jeremiah Jones.That guy knows how to git-r-done.Here's some pics form the races.

Here's a pic of the landing of the "SkyJump". Most guys were doing 100' with no problem.A few guys landed near the 150' mark.

Dang Jim!! I was about 30 minutes from you this weekend. I was up in New Berlin, NY golfing at the Riverbend Golf Course on Saturday/Sunday :( I was staying in Norwich with my family for my grandparents 50th anniversary.

The drop into "gravity cavity" is about 75-80 feet.The drop off in the back section is close to 100' from take off to landing.As for the start,anyone that wants to be in the middle of that mess is crazy,lol

WOw I can't believe that guys on bikes have slower times than quads. It doesn't seem right. Well......awesome pics and vids.

ya its not right. check the link. Carmicheal ran a 2:09 lap with an avg of 2:13. I love the quads but if ya think they will EVER outrun the bikes you need to just say no. http://home.ama-cycle.org/prorace/raceres/mx/otimes.asp?cls=m2&snct=p7110&year=2005&type=P

I know this is an old thread but I just seen this on the ATVA website: http://www.atvaonline.com/News/05/unadilla.asp apparently, Jones beat MC's best lap record by nearly 10 seconds.
