Alligator Hare Scramble preview video

I will post a flyer for the enduro when it comes out but here is the flyer for the Hare Scramble.

The Alligator Sprint Enduro is held on Thursday March 9th and we will open up the gates to the property probably around noon on the 8th and racers can camp overnight. 

If you are wondering how the enduro fits into Bike Week March 4 is the Daytona Supercross. Ricky Carmichael SX is March 5-7. Wild Boar Hare GNCC March 4-5

We don't give all the secrets away on a preview video. 

We have smoothed all the palmetto stumps out.

We put a lot of time and effort into making a great course, this year we actually rented a trail mulcher for a big part of the quad course. This thing is on the front of a Bobcat and just tears the hell out of everything. Cost about $3k for two days but the quads will love it and after some time on the track it will be mint. We have a turn track that we practice on that's probably a mile and a half and last week we disced it up and have been riding it in. When there is a bit of moisture in the ground it's some of the best chocolate cake you have ever experienced. For the enduro we really strive to make a fun and challenging course. It is definately not blood and guts like a GNCC. 

We do cap the entries but even if you show up on race day we don't turn people away. There are always no-shows. 

As far as numbers and backgrounds if you just get a one day membership Ronnie Hames at HBD MotoGrafx is on vendor row with temporary backgrounds and numbers. 

Look forward to seeing you out there. I think you'll love the trail we have laid out for this year. 

I was responding to the question about new riders not knowing their number for the hare scramble. If you are not a member of FTR but just want to race one event and you race my class obviously my number (194 derrrr) is not available.

If you are racing the enduro you get a number assigned to you. it is on a sticker already it will have your row and letter example 17B. My suggestion is to put a little tape on your plate ahead of time so it peels off easy. As far as the rows and stuff, that is only for the start. If key time (Start of race) is 9:00 and your number is the 17B just show up to the start in time to start at 9:17. The rest of the race you start every section when you are ready. It sounds complicated but it is easy, no time keeping. Just show up to the riders meeting and do what everyone else does.   lol

If you have any questions, feel free to text me (386) 871-0666 even the day of the race I can lead you to where you need to go and walk you through the process. That goes for anyone reading this. 

That's a fairly speedy class down here, good luck and hope you have a great time. 

The crazy thing about Florida weather is I live less than 10 miles as the crow flies from our race property and it can be pouring rain at my house and the property does not get a drop. If it gets a decent amount the day or two days before the dirt is prime. 

I'm not sure if I mentioned it before but if you search "Alligator Enduro" on Google maps it will turn by turn take you to the front gate. There will also be the Florida Trail Riders arrows on the road leading you in. 

For anyone coming to our Hare Scramble stop by and say hi!

Tonight, I'll be parking campers and starting with tomorrow mornings race I'll be running the starting grid at the start of the races and running around the property on a red Can-Am quad towing stranded riders back to camp or doing reroutes which I don't anticipate any of them because we are high and dry.

From noon today until we are cleaned up Sunday night, I will be doing dirt bike shit. Life is good!

I forgot to update this thread but all in all it seemed like everyone that came to our race thought it was tough as hell but fun. You know you did something right when a guy tells you it was his toughest race ever and can't wait for next year. We had just shy of 900 racers show up which shows the sport is alive and well even after the Covid bump has gone away. I posted the video in another thread but we did have the worlds first electric bike hare scramble win. This was on a Saturday race which is a little shorter of a course and not as rough as Sunday. Give it a watch, he can hustle that bike through the woods pretty good. 

Glad you liked it. Looking at the times you could have thrown a blanket over the top 3 in your class. That close of a race after an hour and a half is great, it's better when you win.   lol

For anyone looking to race the Alligator Sprint Enduro on March 9th pre-entry is open. We will also have room for some walk ups but we limit pre-entry to 300 riders. I think there is less than 50 openings left.

Awesome, I'll let you know what check I'm at and give you knuckles on the way out. Weather is shaping up to be perfect, if we get an hour or so of rain the day before it will be absolutely perfect.

For anyone entered row assignments have been set and are available at the link below. Pre entry is now closed but there are spots available on the day of the race.
