Christys Racing 2009 Baja 1000
- From: Vtr_Racing
-
Description:
Craig and his band of baja brothers are going for a repeat! Something that is very hard to do in desert racing. The ATV team races a very well prepared Honda TRX450r. Leonard Duncan from Duncan Racing does the prepwork for this championship team. His co-riders include Steve Abrego, David Scott, current BITD champ, GNCC racer Andy Lagzdines. They have been down in Baja pre-running all week. Tommorow is contingency and tech inspection and hopefully some relaxing.
Here is the Spot tracking link for Team Christys Racing.

Waters Earns Top Ten for WORCS
- From: hotseat
-
Description:
Coming in to the final World Off Road Championship Series ATV Nationals in Mesquite NV, HotSeat Powersports/Yamaha rider Justin Waters sat 10th in points – but in a tight battle. Six riders sat with only 7 points separating them. He knew he had to finish well to reach his goal of a top ten for his first season on the Pro circuit. And have some luck on where the other riders finished, so the points would fall his way.
"Our goal from the beginning was a top ten this season. It seemed to be a realistic goal based on my lap times and the riders I know I can run with, but then as the season went on, several top national-level Pros also came out to try the series and the competition really ramped up. I’ve never worked this hard – on and off the track."
The Mesquite race had all the excitement and drama fans could ask for, with several top GNCC and ATV MX pros coming out to shake up the mix in Sunday’s Main Event - but when the dust settled, Waters had the finish he needed, earning the #10 plate.
"I'm even prouder of finishing with no DNFs. The companies I'm working with are turning out the best equipment in the industry. They understand the extra demands racing puts on their products. The Yamaha YFZ450R is a bike that anyone can get on and ride, you don't have to hire a master mechanic or pour thousands of dollars in to maintain it. Fox Racing Shox, Teixeira Tech A-arms and a Rekluse clutch were absolutely key to several of my best finishes this season. It was also great to have Maxxis support right at the track. I can’t thank them enough, and I’m anxious to work with them all again.”
His sights are set even higher for 2010.
“Now that we’re on the front row, I want to put my sponsors on the podium. Get a single-digit number for the year.”
#95 Justin Waters (WORCS #10) would like to thank his 2009 sponsorship partners, including:
Hot Seat Powersports, Yamaha, Teixeira Tech, Fox Racing Shox, Precision Racing Products, AC Racing, G4-Graphics, Rekluse, Spider Grips, Powermadd, GYT-R, MotoX Nutrition, Flexx Bars, MSR, Scott USA, Gaerne, DP Brakes, DWT, Maxxis, Motion Pro, Spectro Oil, Quadtech, Regina Chains, SkorBordz.

Waters Scores Another Top Ten
- From: hotseat

Description:
As the season winds down, 19-year-old Justin Waters is still running a furious pace. With just barely a week to prep before WORCS ATV Nationals Round 7, he replaced his practice quad with a fresh 2009 YFZ450R. Which meant some late night wrenching so his practice bike would match his race bike set-up as closely as possible. Make time to train, on the quad and off, other races on the weekends - around his studies as a full-time student at University of Nevada.
The reward on Sunday at Glen Helen Raceway? A tenth-place finish - his fourth Top Ten this season.
Waters went off the line about mid-pack, then settled in to a steady pace. He gained a spot about every two laps, climbing from 14 th to his eventual finish of 10 th. He was closing the gap on 9 th place but it wasn’t quite enough, as time ran out at the two hour mark.
The finish wasn’t without a lesson though.
“I thought I was in shape, being back in Vegas and training the last month or so, but I must not have been drinking enough water this weekend. I lost my hose during the race, so the only water I got was at my mid-race stop for fuel. I didn’t really feel it during the race – you’re running on adrenaline – but afterwards I was so sick. I don’t think it cost me on the track, but I don’t want to make that mistake again.”
And he’ll need all the serious focus and conditioning he can get. Heading into the final round at Mesquite NV in just three weeks, Waters is in an intense six-way battle for points. Currently in 10 th, he is within striking range of a finish as high as 7 th. Remarkable for a young rider in his first year as a Pro.
Top Finishers at Glen Helen:
1 # 62 Jeremie Warnia – Lake Elsinore CA
2 # 3 Beau Baron – Atascadero CA
3 # 1 Josh Frederick – Moapa NV
4 # 94 Dustin Nelson – Ramona CA
5 # 113 John Natalie – Warriors Mark PA
6 # 417 Josh Row – Lakeside CA
7 # 12 John Shafe – Marana AZ
8 # 7 Robbie Mitchell – Price UT
9 # 15 Ryan Piplic – Everett WA
10 # 95 JUSTIN WATERS – YAMAHA – LAS VEGAS NVXxx

Gotta be Resourceful
- From: Younggun95

Description:
When you don't work in a full on shop, and have access to a million different tools, you have to be resourceful. Being a college student, I build professional level race quads out of my trailer in storage. Ive been working on quads for long enough that I have acquired most of the tools that I need on a daily basis.
But every once and a while you run into some problems. Especially with loc-tited parts that haven't been taken off since the factory installed them. Axle nuts in particular can be a pain. I have the really big crescent wrench, but it was still fighting me.
The first mistake I made was too take the drive sprocket off before I broke the axle nut loose, so I had to use a large screw driver to keep the axle from turning. It worked, but my screw driver is a little bent now. The next small problem was not having jack stands. Its best to put a jack stand underneath each side so the quad doesn't tip when pushing down on the axle. So instead I put a wheel and tire under the swingarm.
The green loc-tite just wouldn't break loose, and the breaker bar that I carry in my trailer wasn't big enough for the massive crescent wrench I was using. What did I do? Become resourceful. I have the leg for a table that sets up in my trailer that was sitting in the bottom of a cabinet and it worked perfectly. Put it on the end of my wrench and with a little more coercesion I was able to break the axle nut loose.
I wasn't replacing the axle, but watch for the next photo that shows why I was taking the axle out in a brand new quad.
Ill be at WORCS this weekend so follow me at www.twitter.com/WatersRacing for race updates

Front Suspension Install
- From: Younggun95
-
Description:
The next step on my build of a Pro WORCS race quad. The front end. The A-Arms Im using are Teixeira Tech Long-Travel Extra-Ground-Clearance. The A-arms are just slightly wider than the stock ones so that a different offset wheel can be run. This setup is also a +1 forward. Teixeira Tech also provides the extended tie-rods. I've done all the testing for the design on these a-arms and they work great! Attached to them is a set of Fox Shox Evol Floats with DSC. These shocks are designed specifically for these a-arm measurments and are on file so they can be valved for anyone else with this setup.
Also shown in the picture is a new AC Racing front bumper. Not only does it improve the looks, but the YFZ450R's radiator has a slight problem with protection so this helps that problem greatly.
Another important piece on the front of this quad is a set of DWT Yellow Label Beadlock front wheels with a pair of Maxxis 21" Razr2's. What you can't see is that inside the tires is the all important XC Tireballs. The Razr2 is a tougher tire than the Razr so you are less likely to get a flat, but when running in the top 10 of a WORCS race you don't have time to change a tire because of a flat.
