Anybody know anything about this race? I'm wanting to come down and watch. It is at the Red River Riding Area I think. Bulcher, I think.

Sounds like a really cool race. 200 riders start. 1 wins. The website says it is a 40 mile loop and they will do it 4 times. Each time the top 1/2 races again. The race is Nov. 12. First day of deer season here in Missouri but I think I wanna see this. Thanks for any info you can give me.

Yup - Come out out and watch the race, Red Bull will have 6 shuttle to take spectators to the "good stuff". Keep all bikes at home though(sorry!). The event will finish @ 10pm~.
Mike Lafferty, Dick Burleson are just 2 of the many scheduled to show up! This is a MUST SEE event if enjoy off road riding at all!

I read a little about the race in one of the mags, I was just wondering how they pick the 200 riders. Sounds like it is a wild race.

The general stipulation was being a current/retired Pro/AA rider, bottom line - be among the best of the best! :thumbsup:

SPEED channel will be there along with 2 helicopters and virtually every US and Euro mag. - it will be FUN!! :thumbsup:

Yes, I will be working - I'm sure a few club(Red River Dirt Riders) members would shoot me if I failed to work our event!
Come out for our enduro the week before!

Good question, the section of trail I worked on will not be used in LMS. Look for a motorhome with enclosed white trailer with SMS stickers in the sides, that's mine. :thumbsup:

Rm Dave, if you have never been to Red River (Muenster) it will be worth it. Too bad it wont be a riding weekend, the place is fantastic to ride! Have you seen their website? Even though the pictures in the galleries dont do it justice at all, check it out at www.redrivermotorcycletrails.com
It shows mostly quads and there are a few of them, the good trails are so tight you ditch them pretty quickly, there is enough for everyone. :applause:

I've never been there Fastest1. But come next week I will be there. After I see it a good trip to ride may be in the works. Are you going to watch the race?

No I cant make it, however as you probably know by now, it is a great ride. Many different challenges. I personally would take my bike just in case even part of it was open, it is all good!

PLEASE - Do Not bring bikes - as a hosting club member(Red River Dirt Riders) NO bikes will be allowed - SORRY but Red Bull is very serious on this and all issues concerning safety.

THANKS for your understanding!!

Come and enjoy the event - it WILL be fantastic!! :thumbsup:

I'm not bringing any bikes. Just a camera with several cards. Oh and a good 3 D-cell flashlight.

I hear the number of riders starting the race has been reduced to 125. Any truth to this?

Fastest1

11-08-2005, 07:48 PM

It still says over 200 on the website! ?

That was by far the coolest thing I have ever seen. Just cool.

are the results posted anywhere? there were several guys from our area that were racing

David Knight won it. They said that there was less than 200 that started. I dunno exactly how many. my cousin went through the first 2 laps and then his ignition started acting up or something like that. I don't think it ever died, but he said it was running really weird. I don't think he had much fun with a 125 on those hills. He said he wished he had a trails bike. :bonk:

Thanks for the report even if it was short. I havent been able to find anything on the results. RmDave, a little more of your opinion of the area would be appreciated. Would you go back? Did it look challenging? Compare to anything you ride? I love the Red River Riding Area personally!

Fastest1, go to www.hillbillygp.com for a report. There are a couple on the general forum. I (Spokes) was working the event and would call back to Shawn, a friend in Missouri and he would post everytime I called.

Plus, Steve Leivan, who finished 12th overall, has a ride report.

Did it look challenging? It was freaking impossible.
Would I go back? Yes.
Compare to anything you ride? 90% of the course, that I saw, was passable by "B" riders. The other 10% made AA riders look like C riders.

It will be on the Speed Channel December 11th.

I'm going to go back in the spring just to see if I can make a loop. Not a race speed but just to see if I can do it. I pulled so many bikes up the Joshua Tree Hill I think I got it figured out how to do it. Everything I seen was cool . But I will only do it in the daylight. I think cloud cover would scare me after seeing that place at night. You guys in Texas know how to have a big race. But wait isn't everything big in Texas?

Thanks for the links, I had found many over the course of last night. Read all the logs of "Spokes" (great work, technology is so cool now days). All the pictures I have seen look plenty challenging. Cant wait for speed to show it. I will have to make it next year to spectate for sure.

Ive done several races their but none of the stuff they were doing. I cant believe how good Cole Kirkpatrick did. Once I rode on a row with him, his brother, and his dad at an enduro in blackwell Texas. I'll have to go next time.

DONT MISS IT NEXT YEAR. This was world class. If you guys get a chance go out there and look at the course first hand, the pictures do not even begin to show how extreme it was. It will amaze you. Next year it will be tougher. :D

The race was amazing. Once I got the grand scheme of the event, which was make it so almost nobody finishes, it made it even more intense. It was a joy seeing the top guys in the country having the problems that us other riders have.

I have some videos of the joshua tree hillclimb if you would like to see them...PM me
