As some of you know I've been racing a YZ426 DTX bike in a local short track series (DTX Open and 450 Sportsman classes). Hungry for more laps I decided to bring a couple Huskys to the track last weekend and give the knobbies a try. I rode my TC450 and cajoled Darrell from BMP into riding my TXC250, his first time on the flat track. Darrell (on the right) is wondering what the heck he got himself into... He's getting it done on the little 250 that could! I'm gettin' jiggy on the 450. Man, knobbies are a different world on the flat track...Fun, but I couldn't wait to get back on the DTX bike haha. Huge thanks to Pat of www.23moto.com for the pics!
Hungry for more laps? Sounds like practice time\laps are limited? Lucky Darrell I'd guess ... -- The last time I rode a bike with a rear tire without side knobs, I let the rear end slide out from under me in a flat open corner... I guess I was not ready to flat track on that day ...
You get one 10-lap practice session for each class you enter, on race day. There are open practices, but the majority of them are A) scheduled such that I'm unable to make it and B) shared with karts and cars, making them "not a good deal."
