kaboom645 Added a reply to Looking for tracks in TN
4/20/2026 11:58am I'm in Cookeville. Coming from central Florida (moved here from Zephyrhills) the moto scene here is almost nonexistent. An above poster listed the tracks in the area. The 2nd week of December through the 2nd week of February are a crap shoot on if tracks will be open. Compared to Florida, when we get rain here it may take days/weeks...

kaboom645 Added a reply to Panic Button for Chase/Kawi?
2/19/2026 8:39am Short answer...Money.. It costs to have an engineer design multiple parts, have them machined or cast/made, and then try them to have a rider not like them in the first few laps on the track. This is why you hear the term "packages" the riders have. They have specific groupings of parts made for a specific handling or power characteristic...

2/19/2026 8:28am If you listen to the post race interview with Sexton after the second round with Lewis from Vital, he makes the comment about going to the PC forks because "they can do whatever they want" as far as bike setup goes, which is telling that maybe the team isn't willing to go the direction he wants

2/10/2026 12:06pm I"ve been close friends with Aiden's Uncle (who is also his mechanic) for a long time. They put in a LOT of work and are on a shoestring budget to make it to each round (racing last years bikes as well). They are extremely thankful for every penny of support they get
kaboom645 Added a reply to Clutch in air
1/22/2026 7:49am As someone who has tried to qualify for a supercross, no the clutch in never pulled in the air unless the rear brake is being tapped. With that said there was always a finger on the clutch in case a brake tap was needed. In the 2stroke days it was very common to use the clutch for a burst of...

1/7/2026 8:46pm Frenchie (steve47) is still around. We are friends on FB (Steve Lepine). Not sure if he still rides, seems to be very involved with family stuff and team sports with his kids. I havent talked to John Dash (rm250guy} in probably 20yrs.

12/8/2025 7:27am A lot of native Floridians are over the growth, the stupid cost of living, and trying to get the heck out of there. In the last 10yrs I've watched many pastures, orange groves and swamps be turned into housing developments, highways, and strip malls. Looks like some people are trying to cash out on the growth and move somewhere more...

kaboom645 Added a reply to What size COMPACT TRACK LOADER best works for MX TRACK
2/22/2024 7:05pm A machine I havent seen mentioned is the Case Minotaur DL550. It has a lot of lifting capacity as a CTL, but also have a true bulldozer adjustable blade setup. The price is a little spicy though and honestly for the same money I can get a new takeuchi TL12v2 and a used D3 dozer. Just another machine to consider...

8/13/2023 1:26pm Have you tried fast farms in mcminnville? They seem to be open a few times a week for practice or racing. I just bought 16ac in Cookeville with the intentions of opening a practice track on the property . I have a few more things to fall into place but I'm hoping to start laying the track out this fall...

7/15/2022 6:24pm So bumping this back to the top. I just bought a ton of land between Cookeville and Monterey right on the side of I-40. I had planned to build a track on the property for my own personal use but the last week or so I have been thinking about opening it to the public. How much interest would there...

4/1/2022 9:15pm I remember back in the late 80's there was a lot of talk about the California air resource board outlawing 2 strokes back then. Add in the investigations by the CSPC and the bad press and the writing was on the wall as the whole quad industry shifted towards utility style quads through the 90's. The TRX 250R actually kept...
