It is 250FC. Not sure if you are familiar with TORCS (Texas Off Road Championship Series) classes, but the 250F allows bikes up to 300cc (2 or 4 stroke), and the C is for the skill level. There are 5 skill levels for big bikes: Pro, A, B, C and D, so there is still a long way to go to the top :)

THANKS! 😄

Thanks! You beat me in the end though! I hope I last longer in the next race, you must be in shape!

It was rough. I was literally feeling dizzy towards the end and also decided to quit, part because of the bent radiator, part because I couldn't take it any more. It took me a good hour under the shade and a few gatorades to get back to normal.

Yeah, it was, but I really really didn't want to have to turn around like the first time 😅 I just wanted to make it to the top even if it meant barely making it and stalling so I didn't run anyone over.

Yeah, I've worn a brace for a few days and it is much better. Hopefully in time for next race, and I need to sort out those jumps!

Thanks! Yeah, the sand is tough, I do not feel confident at all in these turns!

Yes it is! Great bike, if only the rider were faster...

@@674racing 😂 ya did great!

Thanks! And so true!

Thanks man! I'll definitely try a higher gear next race. Not being an idiot with that tree would have also helped, my lesson there is sometimes a small step back can let you take 2 forward. Looking forward to next year too!

Good thing I wasn't going too fast, although that is likely why I relaxed and wasn't paying too much attention. Lesson learned. That tree made it plenty fast in no time. I saw your start video, nice start! Glad you're OK too after those falls.

@@674racing Yeh, the ER said good to go, nothing broken...thx! lol, I was like wtf, now what do I do? haha. This is my first full season of this...came from sport bike track world, been riding off-road casually for about 3 years and it's alien. Just an old late bloomer, can't wait to get into the 60+C class, haha. Was intending to take it easy in Open D and just ride the course, and race 50+C, that didn't go as planned...

​@@hoptard If ain't broke, don't fix it! That's funny, I am actually off to COTA for the first time in a couple of weeks, on an MT-09. Not your typical track bike, but it is what it is. I had never raced before any of this and am loving it. Just hoping to get faster without getting hurt (or hurting anybody else). Was also planning to race on Sunday (Sportman D), didn't make it either. There is always next time though, can't wait!

@@674racing Ahhh, must be doing the RideSmart deal........Dude, that's too funny., I have a FZ09 sitting in storage, it's a 2014 with about 2500 miles on it, got the full Akra system on it.....BE CAREFUL with it at track cuz the footpegs sit a little lower than normal sport bikes, also the kick stand (it could possibly drag in corners, might see if you can take it off for the track day). Back in 2011, was at California Speedway with my girlfriend at the time, she tracked her Ducati Monster (same situation), kickstand and pegs were lower and she caught pavement while leaned in a corner, lifted rear wheel enough to cause a high-side, was filming behind her and got it all on gopro. Have you swapped out Yamaha's crappy rear shock yet?.....the Penske single clicker is a good one to add, the double and triple go up in price, but are a lot better.
