Should be a great year of racing!
Off road motorcycle racing may be poised to make a big leap forward this year as the focus at KORHS is purely on two wheels for 2011. The new owner of KORHS feels that over time, having bike-only events will lead to some larger turnouts. Whether that happens or not really doesn’t matter to me, however I think that the new bike-specific courses will make for a renewed interest amongst some racers.
The venues for 2011 are not all new ones, but some haven’t been visited in a couple years and there is great potential to use these properties in such a way that we could not before. In the past, setting up a course took a little more thought and effort as quads don’t deal well with off-camber situations, trees spaced 30 inches apart or deep dips in the terrain. We’d carefully pick a route and then Jesse would try to determine if a C-Class quad racer could negotiate the section. If not, we’d look onward to spend great amounts of time just making it work but cutting trees, moving rocks, shoveling dirt, or whatever it took. Bottom line, the effort in the woods was quite substantial.
I fondly remember my first few years of racing and the types of courses that we’d be faced with during that period. There was one specific venue where they had very little land but effectively used every little inch. The thing that really stands out in my memory is how they marked the course. Ribbons would be tied in the trees and brush and you might see an arrow every 1/8 of mile at best. There was no tape tied in the corners, none of the face-slappers were trimmed back, and if a big log was in the way, well, it was just in the way. You had to go over it or find your way around it. The first lap was crazy as everyone was simply “blazing” the trail as they negotiated the course. All the little saplings would be laid down in the direction of the course . . . it was crazy but fun!
There may end up being a few sections like this in some of the KORHS courses this year. You know, really tight stuff that makes you work your bike and keeps the overall speeds much lower. This slower, more technical type of riding is safer, more challenging, and really builds some nice skills. This doesn’t mean that there won’t be any faster and open sections, because there will. Having up to one mile of grass track at any given event is very necessary. In most cases the lay of the land dictates that there will be some more open sections and we hope to use those very effectively.

As I sit here today though, “racing” is not really what I’m looking forward to . . . rather it is the course layout portion of it all. My desire to race is waning and I’m sure that there is no way I’m ever going to get “faster” thus my focus is shifting. I might line up a few times this year, but probably not . . .
Stay tuned as I should have some pictures and videos of upcoming course obstacles in the near future!
See you on the trail!
