Hey Big John

You can always recruit and have plenty of volunteers to run the races and in doing so you can race also. I know I personally go to have fun and buggy and do not mind helping out when I can. Just a thought.

But then what do I know I'm from Louisiana and eating all those crawfish & gulf shrimp makes me post nonsense and ramblings I suppose. Or should I just bring the cheese and crackers as there seems to be no short supply of WHINE:!: :tumble:Rolling out to Buggy Town soon!

Dunno, somehow the fact that I've got to drive for 25hrs to get there sort of makes me want to have the races mentioned on the sign up form. I can find amazing guys to buggy with a lot closer than that, the seaside crowd is awesome, same with the group in alberta, The locals are great as well, but we lack the awesome areas that you guys have to play in.

Personally, I hope to go head to head with the best in the country, this time I'll be at the back of the pack, but I'll learn, next time I'll be further up. I'm going down with our team to mix it up with the big boys, learn from the experience and take something back to teach our local boys. The best way to learn fast is to be up against guys better than yourself.

I mean no disrespect for those that love to cruise around the area having fun, I think it's cool that there's such a wide range of people that are involved with the sport. Keeps it an interesting crowd. Myself though, I want to run, I want to go head to head against guys on the track, I want to crack the 50mph mark. I learned more in 1/2 hr of following Sunset Jim than I did in a year of buggying by myself.

This goes for the ATB and freestyle stuff as well, We've got guys on our team wanting to compete in pretty much every event for much the same reasons.

Ya see, to some the thrill of the race, the anticipation for the flag to drop, that's the fun. There's nothing like sitting there on the line, watching the lil yellow lights light up one by one, knowing that the green's next. The feeling of dropping the hammer and pulling for all she's worth.

wait

XBPX your talking about NABX drag racing.... consist of the fastest person to dress in drag..... races down the lake bed and back wins

OK I was WRONG! Now that's a format I'd pay to see! Buggy Drag races! 1/4 or 1/2 mile fastest wins good old drag race.

I was thinking more of my old days of 1/4 mile drag racing with the cars, but now that you mention it, I think we should give it a try. Racing a course would be a blast, but 1/4 mile racing would be a sheer test of kite acceleration and top speed. The results could be interesting.

let's have some real excitement...

NABX NPW 2007 Nationals

To keep race heats under 15 minutes we can mark off a 20 yard course....

krocdoc why do you have a 6 pack of red tripe?

sonny, why won't cher come out to play????

Racing a course would be a blast, but 1/4 mile racing would be a sheer test of kite acceleration and top speed. The results could be interesting. I agree there. 2 racers. Green light and flag drops now Go that way realy fast & fist one over the line wins. The start is what I don't know about. Standing start or might have to get some helpers hold the axle untill you develop peak horsepower then launch Nah to many disputes there. Suppose it would have to be both riders start with parked kites or overhead and feet on the ground then when flag drops go. Seems this would be a true test for bragging rights for those that need such things. If pilots were of equal weight, buggies of equal weight and similar size kites this would be a hands down true test of who's fast and who's not. I'm going to miss those burnouts though but I'm sure one of those TEXAS :wow: buggiers is bound to be able to smoke the tires on a start!

I think you're on the right track one guy watching to make sure no one creeps or jumps, I agree with the feet down, kite overhead. Probably 1/4 mile. I don't think the pilot weight really comes into play, lighter pilots will need to fly smaller kites. They'll probably be quicker off the line, but may end up hurt for speed on the top end.

Buggiers, Start Your Engines!!!

Kite at 12:00, and boots on the deck...

You guys are really on to something!

You can count me in to help get it together, help judge, and help race.

Maybe we should start a new thread on this topic.:puzzled:

Maybe the Rag Flappers would want an 1/8th mi. course...:smug:

The maybes can turn to for sures, :tumble:and this could be really FUN!!!

~:singing::singing::singing:Rob:singing::singing::singing:

Sure, why wouldn't you run different classes for the flappers, you'll hardly ever see imports running against domestics, not that one's better, just different beasts. If there's enough interest you could run a reduced sail size class to make it beginner friendly as well. I think I'll end up in the outlaw class though.


Of course, I still want to run laps on a course as well, Our team's been looking forwards to the Enduro event as well.
