Re: July 27th 2013 NIGHT RACE Willow Springs Speedway 1/4 mile Paved Oval BOARD TRACK
I just can't wait!
Oval racing is action-packed, no mistakes racing and gearing is the big trick.
I will be running a 43t sprocket. If you're running a stock bike, 46t to 44t, depending on how much power you can make.
But power is not always what wins on the oval.
Sticking to your line with no mistakes is the key to wining on the oval.
If you can maintain your line and be clean and fluid you will do well. I make the dirt oval a part of my riders training program throughout the year.
This will make for some real good training for the boys. I will be doing some on-track training to help the boys with the transition from the dirt oval to the asphalt oval.
If any of you would like to get some help with your riding skills, I would be happy to help. You can join in with my riders on their training program.
Racing is my passion! Helping you, the riders, is what makes it for me!
Thanks,
Dave
I am showing up at noon on Saturday and so is Dave and the Arrow crew
so if you want to get some training and instruction on oval track racing that
would be the time.
We officially start at 2 pm when the EMT arrives and the oval track riding clinic
can continue to 3 pm. Will be very instructive and a lot of fun.
Dave was a pro flat tracker racer on a Yamaha 600 cc and he knows his stuff.
There is much more to oval racing than 'Go Fast turn Left!" and the skills you
will learn will make you a better racer on the go kart track and street rider.
At just about every race at Grange Dave is a busy guy keeping the Arrow bikes
racing and all around the pits helping out with tuning and fixing other racers bikes.
Willow Springs is at 2400' elevation and the gearing for the oval may be lower than
what you are used to at Grange.
The weather forecast changes a bit each day and is looking very good for our
first night race. Most of action will be from 5 pm to 11 pm
Oval track racing is not quite board track racing but it's as close we are going
to get so this is the event for all you board track racers.
On Sunday we can try out the other paved and dirt oval to see which oval we
like best.
check out the satellite map of all the tracks and access roads.
