Anyone Do GNCC or Harescrambles?

[JohnR.]

This is not necessarily 3 wheeler related but it is racing related. I'm thinking about hitting a couple of these this year on my 4x4. Anyone do any of these? There is at least 4 of them within 200 miles of my house so its a totally do-able weekend or day trip. Any hints or tips would be appreciated.

i do a couple of the Gncc races on my 400ex/250r known as "REX". You'll need to take friday off since that the day you have to sign up. Racing is saturday mourning. If your going to be racing the Artic Cat 500 you'll be in the 4x4 lites class. Pm me your number and i'll call you about it.

I ran the somserset PA, unadilla ny + ST clairsville ohio ones

Thanks Jason. Maybe they changed the sign up times for this year:

2. What are the sign-up times?
ATV registration begins Friday from 5 pm to 8 pm and continues Saturday at 7:00 am, with preference given to the 8:00 am Youth Race participants.

I can be home from work at 3pm on a Friday and all of the races (mostly harescrambles) I'm looking at are less than 200 miles away so I'd be OK without taking the day off. I'll send over my number in a PM, maybe we can BS tomorrow sometime.

I was figuring the 4x4 lite class. Doing it on that machine will pretty much ensure I don't finish that well but it'll be fun to do the race anyways. It looks like the only one that's a do-able one for me is the one up by Unadilla but I've been looking at some of the harescrambles in PA since there are several I can realistically make it to.

There is one on April 17th (I'm supposed to ride PA that day but I may do the race instead) in Berwick, PA at Evansville MX Park which is only 125 miles from here. It seems like there is a lot of harescramble type races going on but there isn't one simple site to get a list of all of them so you have to bounce around different MC/ATV club sites to find what is going on, where, and when.

look at web site d6harescrambles.com to find about all the places in eastern PA. There is Line mountain that is a outlaw race that has trucks after we go on quads there site is lm4w.org

i mite be going to some district 6 ama races also. They are all on sundays and quads run last.

Thanks for the info Jason! Did you happen to notice that there are rules for 3 wheeler classes on page 5 of this PDF:

LMFW Site

That sounds INTERESTING! I'll have to see what's up when they release their 2010 schedule.

I was the last one to run a trike there in the mod class in 1998. There was guy on a 225dx in the other class. Josh aka Brapp ran there a couple times recently.

the races at Line Mountian are always the same weekend 2nd in June and 3rd in september.

pm me your number and i'll call and let know any info.

Line Mountain sounds very interesting. I would be willing to give one of those a go on my ATC 250R if anyone else is up for it. Its only an hour and a half from me. So any other trikers interested? Lets pick a date and give it a go. Doesn't look like they conflict with any OTC events. What do ya think Jason, can ya rest Rex for one with the boys? Also whats with the events listed for Lebanon Jason? Columbia Hillclimbers, do they use the same rules and will allow trikes?
May 16 LM4W POKER RUN
June 12-13 LM4W 3.5 MILER
July 17-18 LM4W COAL BUCKET
Sept 18-19 LM4W 7 MILER

[jason85atc250r]

The Columbis hillclimbers is just a 4x4 truck event only. I was definitly thinking about bringing my atc250r for the coal bucket race in July.

need to get this posted on the OTC site and get people to come out.

[bigred44]

I am definitely interested in entering in one of these races. Maybe the coal bucket. I have a couple friends that might want to enter also.

[Bryan Raffa]

I would love to do a Hair scramble! lets do this!

[jason85atc250r]

I'm definitly going to be doing all 3 line Mountian races. I have to go to the June race since i'm going to be on the shirt. If you win your class you get your name and a picture on the shirt.

We should talk to them in june and see if they will have a seperate class for trikes. I was the last one to run my 85 atc250r back in 1998 so they dont show it on the sign up papers. They had a 2 stroke and 4 stroke class. They will defintily let trikes race.

We need to kindof set it up with them for them to get trophies. they actually pay cash and trophies for all classes even trucks.

jason is there any good camp site's close? how close are you?

[jason85atc250r]

jason is there any good camp site's close? how close are you?

i live about a 1 hour 45 minutes away.

Line Mountian lets you camp on there. You can show up friday early evening and a weekend gate fee is $20 and you can stay till sunday. They give you a wrist band so you can leave to go get food or more beer if you drink. They have a food stand that is cheap for being at a track.

The big race is saturday and they usually have dirt drags and a short obstacle course race sunday. sunday you can run both things drags in the mourning and the course is at 1:00 or so. You can run all three.

[JohnR.]

I want to send an email to the club over there and find out a specific schedule. If the race is Sunday afternoon then I need to take off Monday or at least change my shift to the afternoon that day.
