Well I did forget to tell you that the jumps I have to do are only 8" in height. TT racing is the **** turn left then left then right then left. Those big jumps are for the young and dumb at heart. But I do remember doing them back in the day.

Kara did you know Timbo is sponsoring your crank?Your doing pretty good so far.In my opinion you should make getting sponsors your job and race ALL the nationals.Once you find a job money and such really gets ahold of you.Best time is this coming season for sure.

wow there is no way i could run all nationals. I dont have a trailer and i dont think i could find someone to give me that much money to run them. I wish I could...I would definitely love to do it. But I doubt people would shell out $1000s for me to race nationals.. its definitely what i would want to do but...yeah sad.gif

it would probably cost at least $1000-1500 per national race and there is 14 of them this year

Kara, racing most of the nationals is the only way to get yourself big sponsers. If you want to make a go for it and get sponsers then you better go for broke. Its really hard to stay in the middle for too long. If you just do it for fun then the biggest baddest suspension and motor isn't necessary. I hope to get you a little something something some time soon. How far are you from Arkansas?

Its not that much.You have to eat anyway.Could put a cap on your truck and sleep in there till you find a group to tag along with.There are groups from all over country who pool together to get to the races.Biggest expense is entry fees.
