What a challenge!

I couldnt believe my ears when I heard the kids (12 to15) were to race the full corse. The tires on my sons 90 are 16 inches high, I heard the ruts were pretty deep, I was worried that this race might sour him on racing. To my surprise after a long and exhausting practice lap he said he was up for the race.When he came through the chicane fifth in his class I was thrilled, he showed tremendous heart as well as all the others who finished. All you Junior, Youth and Mini guys should be proud of yourselves, you have my respect. Jon

Jon,
The ages for Mini is 8 to 15 and Youth is 9 to 15. Some of those riders on the back line were small. My son is 11 and raced Junior and completed two laps although he and the winner timed out. This was the first race on this new Polaris and he broke the frame in two places at the shock mount and the quad is 2 months old. That is how rough it was for these size machines. To all of you that made it to the finish line "CONGRATS"

Boy Terry your son was haulin but when I saw them in the woods, I was trying to get some pics. Thats to bad about the frame,my son wasnt near as fast as your son but I think Ill check the frame anyway. Do you know if this deal with the full course is standard? It was my sons first race out of the pee wees.Hopefuly everything after this one will be a tad easier. Jon

The little guys generally run a shorter course without some of the rough stuff. This was the toughest course I have ever seen the little guys run. If he made it through this one he is ready for anything.
