Thinking about the Portland hare scramble this weekend. Never raced there before. Anyone know what the terrain is like? I like the woods scrambles rather than the open and motocross track stuff. Anyone know what the portland course is like?... other than snow covered today!

OUR COURSE IS MOSTLY MX/ OPEN. :bang: WE DO ROUTE AROUND MOST OF THE TECHNICAL JUMPS. WE HAVE AVERY SHORT WOODS SECTION THAT WE RUN WITH 2 BRIDGE CROSSINGS OVER A CREEK TO GET IN AND OUT. THE REST IS WIDE OPEN GRAND PRIX STYLE MX. WE ARE RUNNING A NEW SECTION AT THIS FIRST RACE, IN OUR NORTHERN ACREAGE TO LENGTHEN THE TRACK :cool: OUR COURSE IS 90% SAND SO THE SNOW/MOISTURE WON'T BE A PROBLEM, I JUST HOPE THE WEATHER DOESN'T HURT OUR TURN OUT. :uh: IT SHOULD BE A GOOD EVENT. I HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE THERE!!! :ride:

THAT'S WHAT SEPARATES THE MEN FROM THE BOYS FREDDY :nener: AND IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE 3 HRS SOLO THERE IS THE TEAM CLASSES :nod: THAT IS WHAT IS GREAT ABOUT H/S THERE IS A LARGE VARIETY OF TRACKS, FROM ALL WOODS TO MOSTLY MX AND A GREAT MIX OF BOTH. WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR??? WE LIVE IN A GREAT STATE FOR RIDING AND RACING. :cool:

YES SNDMN2 YOU CAN RIDE SUPER SENIOR 50+ AND RIDE FOR 2HRS. OR 10 LAPS WHICHEVER COMES FIRST,AND AT OUR TRACK IT WILL MOST LIKELY BE 10 LAPS. PLAN ON BEING THERE BY 10:30 AM. BEING THE FIRST H/S OF THE YEAR THE LINES WILL BE VERY LONG, WITH RIDERS GETTING D-14, AMA, AND NEW BARCODES. RICK, MAKE SURE THAT YOU LOOK ME UP OUT THERE. JUST ASK THE GUYS AT THE GATE OR A CLUBMEMBER FOR ME. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!!

THERE SHOULD BE ALL THE INFO NEEDED ON THE WEBSITE, THE RACE IS A GO AND THE TRACK IS IN GREAT SHAPE FOR THE RACE TOMMOROW. :ride: TRACI I SENT YOU AN E-MAIL ABOUT RIDING MONDAY???

The website doesn't say what classes there are. Neither does the D14 website. It also doesn't say how much the race is.

Please consider that guys that I am coming with have never raced a harescramble around here. There are five of us. Four race MX and one has raced GNCCs and trail rides.

CHRIS, IT IS 10.00 TO GET IN THE GATE, 25.00 TO SIGN-UP AND IF YOU NEED TO RE-NEW AMA OR D-14 YOU CAN ALSO DO THAT AT THE TRACK. YOU WILL ALSO NEED A BAR CODE FOR SCORING THOSE ARE 5.00 AND ARE GOOD ALL SEASON LONG. MAKE SURE YOU BRING YOUR HELMET WITH YOU TO SIGN-UP. AS FAR AS CLASSES GO YOU CAN GET THEM AT D14 WEBSITE. I JUST DOWNLOADED THEM THIS WEEK. THEY ARE UNDER: 2007 D-14 H/S RULES. IF YOU STILL CAN'T FIND THEM CALL ME 517-712-9442 AND I WILL TRY TO HELP YOU OUT. :cool:
