Title: FLA Gold cup Gatorback
Post by: luthier269 on September 27, 2010, 10:31:30 AM

Gold cup started yesterday good turn out, riders from other states lots of competition. Jakes first time at Gatorback. He was a little intimidated he is used to tracks that are fairly flat with no up and down hills. The track it rained for two hours in the early morning and the track was muddy. Here are a few pics.

Low and behold guess who's there? TM Racing Factory Racing Efforts For North America. George Hammerbeck,Tim Farrell,Todd Rushing,Jerry Kapoian.The boys were very friendly and knowlegable about the bikes. If anyone is going to any of the Gold Cup Race's stop by and say hi and maybe order a new TM. We didn't get to stay to watch the Pro class but in practice the TM team has some of the fastest lap times!

I don't understand why they don't hold a national here like they used to. Gatorback was always the highlight of the nats. Would be nice to ride for sure.

Cool pics.  That Factory Kawasaki pic. really shows how times have changed.  I've been to Loretta's Amatuer National and it's unreal at the set-ups these kids have now days.

Nice pics, the track looks alot better than the 97 national. I was there to see RC get his 1st win and that was the 1st  national that Henry raced the 400f-BOOoo.
