J Day Sprint Enduro

[Chippertheripper]

Nothing, some orgs just use either word.
Edit: Johnny uses “open”.

[number9]

Yes that's what I was going to do. Pre register for sure. And that I'm not super sure which one I fit into it's my first one ever. C-open?

You can do Sportsman if you don't care about earning championship points.

I don't see Sportsman listed on the JDay site defining classes, but I see that category on the results page. Either way, would it really matter for the enduro? I don't think JDay has sportsman in their grand prix, but NETRA does. If I remember right it puts you in back of the starting grid, so there's a reason to choose one over the other. Not sure it'll change anything if there's no grid.

Sportsman is a “class” for people that want to go “race” but either not mess with any championships, or don’t want to do the full 2hrs of an a/b race, or whatever.
I’m netra it’s the last line of the c grid. I don’t know where Johnny does his, as he has at least 2 c motos.
Typically sportsman is full of either first timers testing the waters, or fast old guys screwing around, or old dudes that used to be fast trying to recapture some good times at a course they raced before. At least, by my casual observation.

If you race in a class you never know you may come away with some hardware. I've only sone 1 sprint enduro, but it was my favorite type of offroad racing so far. I believe total it's close to, but not quite mileage ridden during a full scramble, but you can ride harder for the sections because its broken up.

[Chippertheripper]

A typical c class scramble should work out to be 15-25 miles per the rules/getting lapped by the leader.

anyone hitting Round 1 at Southwick next weekend? i'll be in C Senior or Open C ... need to relearn how to ride a dirt bike asap

[Imbeek]

I might do it...if so, probably a last minute deal into whatever class is still open. I think reg opens today and classes will likely sell out, if that matters to ya

cool, and yeah, classes will fill up quick ... not gonna sweat it if i miss out but hoping that won’t be the case.

if we’re both out there i’ll grab that 18” sand tire from you if you still have it.

loading up now to get some practice in at HVD...

Oh yeah...I will try to get that to ya even if I don’t race

I just registered.

This will be my first ever off-road race, so total learning/noob event for me. Bike is basically polished and ready. Changing pipe mounts, springs, and seals this week and I'm done.

I'll be in C 250.

nice! Tim B, Biggity's bro, is in as well. he reg'd last night for C Open.

the standard EE busters are super tough and stay put, highly recommend ... just make sure you either anti-seize or blue Loctite the interior clamp + front bolts. the hardware gets tweaked, dry and tarnished over time, makes for easier assembly/disassembly. i've had mine for 7+ yrs on two diff bikes, well worth the investment.

Once upon a time you mentioned a system that actually locked the handguards in a different way to the usual fasteners. Do you remember what it was? I've searched through my PMs and can't find it...

yeah, i probably mentioned the inserts that thread into the bar. there are a few companies that make them now, BRP, SRT, Fastway, etc. check Slaven's site.

also, got your PM... let's try to hook up for a ride soon! drop me a note if you're wondering Southwick tomorrow.
