At the risk of sounding like I can't judge distance, can anyone that's been there tell me how long it is? I seem to think it's longer than a football field, but maybe not since I never played football, I have no idea. All I know is, you definately hit all the gears in the tranny!

Haspin is roughly 500' from the first pole to the last pole.Thats what one of the Haspin regulars told me that was watching us race.Thats what we used last year. I think for this year it should be cut down to 300'.

I'll tell you what, when we were racing last year it was WFO till that last pole and you were going down over the hill into the ruts, if you didn't lock up the brakes.

I wasnt worried about going down over the hill into the woods,I worried about flipping out in the crossruts at 60+mph before the downhill,not too mention the few braniacs that would cross infront of you after the finish not knowing that 2,3,or 4 atv's were coming straight for them at full speed.

Thats why we were only racing to the 2nd to the last pole last year! Pay attention next time!!!!
