GRAND PRIXS

[Michael Parker]

well there is this grand prix coming up at prarie city. (an offroad and trails area). ive raced a harescramble there before and it was fun. im wondering if they are the same or if there are differences. if so what are they, what are some basic things i should know?
one more thing, in a run to bike, le mans' type start how far are you usually running to the bike? thanks

Some Grand Prix races are a combination of some woods/hare scramble racing with part of a track thrown in for fun. There are others that keep it off the track and just make a grass track (FUN!). Hope you enjoy it!

Depending on the track, the layout is gonna be different. Many of the Grand Prixs that tracy has done has been a cross between MX, offroad, singletrack and even some street sections (glen helen and Lake Elsinore GP). Usually they are 30 to 45 minutes long. Most of the starts are in neutral with your bike running and your clutch hand on your helmet. Take a camelbak if you have never run one of these races, as you will be riding a long time. I'm not sure how long your race is but tracy usually pulls in running on fumes so if you have a desert tank you might want to slap it on. Talk to some people in your area that has run these races they may have some good insight.

Good luck with your race and be safe!

Our D-37 GP's are mx track and ofroad terrain combined. They run 1 hour and when we do LeMans starts we run 15'.
