After a 4 or 5 year hiatus Shane Tritteler (former MX/SX racer and factory test rider) has revived the Race Around The Lake and included both TK's and SXS's in the schedule. Check it out.

Race Around the Lake - October 28-30th (http://www.racearoundthelake.net/)

Spam it Joey.

Enjoy

I'm on it!!! Good find Doug! This sounds sick!!!

[Slowpoke Rodriguez]

I heard rumor about this, but no one I talked to had any info..I can take backroads from my house to the start line!!! I think Im in...

[mark#63]

I might be able to get some inside info on the race my brother is friends with shane. If i can get info I'll report back.

[dnf736]

Bump, added a sudo map.

[redrhino99]

Looks fun. I'll be in Dumont...

[TJWIZ]

Rules and requirments for Side X Sides (nets, fire suit ect.)?

[dnf736]

If you read the entry form it looks somewhat similar to worcs, Im sure it will be fine tuned as the day gets closer.

My advice here, be constructive. This is his first offering to something other than the bikes only of the past. Try not to split too many hairs, go preppared and have fun.

Joey, maybe you could make a call and ask for WORCS rules to be used, that would clear the air for everyone including the promoter.

PS. IMO, You really should be wearing a minium SFI-1 firesuit, ask my son.

Looks like a good time, too bad its the weekend before LOORRS or I would take the boy and his SR1.

Enjoy.

Doug I hear you guys had a rough weekend. Justin told me about the carnage yesterday over lunch. Glad to hear Cody is ok!

[TJWIZ]

who's going to race this event?

[trukndave]

Maybe me, this lake is 45 minutes from mi casa and 20 minutes south of Frazier Park:D

[TJWIZ]

Ok, sounds like at least TWO Underground people might be there.

[SGM4Life]

10 min. from my house,dam may have to make this my first RZRS race!:D

[TJWIZ]

I'm all signed up #140. Who else is racing?

[T-wrecks]

It sure would be nice to see a rule book with class break downs and safety gear requirements. I think I would meet most rules for a stock motor long travel class. I dont know if my induced fab opening doors would be allowed and I dont have window nets.

Hopefully they post somthing up or reply to my email.

[TJWIZ]

Only 3 more days left till the race :D :D :D

[TJWIZ]

There seems to be alot of SXS for this even. The open SXS race is at 9:45. Class 1&2 is at 11:45. There seems to be more of us Class 1&2 than open class.

[SGM4Life]

Got back from races it was pretty good. My dad took 4th in the class 2 race. Seemed like it was all about getting a good start due to no passing spots really on the coarse. Right when I got there I pulled my camera and caught a rollover with a xp. I will get it uploaded to youtube and post here tonight.

[TJWIZ]

THE GOOD: I had a great time out there. I met alot of cool pepole and the weather was great. I never did a cold start before (that was interesting). I beleive we were 13 wide at the start, with the first left turn, wide enough for two LOL. Forget about a hole shot. I just wanted to make it past the first 5 turns with out rolling over. Sure enough, turn 3 and 5 roll overs.

The course was nice but, on the left side of the mountain had hair pin turns ( great for MX. Not so great for UTV's). That's where the majority of the roll overs happend. You were in the mountains, beach area and pavement which made it fun.

THE BAD: There were some people that should of been in class 1 instaed of 2. I didn't care, I was there to have fun. The registration never gave a break down, the difference between the two (no fault of the drivers, so people didn't really know which one to sign up for). The even also had "Kodak Event Photo" to photograph the event. The photo's turned out great if you were MX or ATV. They had technical difficuties and didn't photo any of the UTV's :mad:. I spoke with the young lady working the Kodak trailer and she said that they only had one photogragher and he had technical difficulties. It would of been nice to have a PHOTO.

Over all, the event was fun and I can't wait till next year to do it again.

Viva la Castaic lake.

Race Around The Lake, Castaic GP 10/28/2011 - YouTube

Lessons learned from first race:
#1 On a cold start, start in gear and not in park. I lost too much time shifting from park to gear.
#2 Stop turning wide on turns.
#3 STOP TURNING WIDE ON TURNS LOL.

[Lardoggy]

Tyrone thanks for posting up the video,very cool!My name is Larry(lardoggy)I am the one in front of you the first lap with the red suit and white helmet on.We are SGM motorsports and this was my first race.It was so much fun and I will be back for more next year.Your cam setup work very well,I have not watch the whole race yet but I will.I can tell you this I was LOL that first lap I saw.Thanks again and hope too see you at the track again sometime.:D

[TJWIZ]

@Lardoggy: I had a blast out there. I'll be at the LEGP next week and the Soboba GP in January. The roll over that I was behind at 28:15 killed me LOL. There was no way to catch up to the rest of the pack.

[Flyingbryan]

Thanks for the videos, all three were fun to watch.
Looks like a lot of paved racing and not a lot of places to pass but would have been nice to have been there racing or watching.

[Sasquatch]

That split screen vid is mine. Too bad I got such a bad start, otherwise the footage would have been a little better. He waved the green flag so fast I wasn't able to turn on both cams in time.

It was my first time racing 4 wheels, so I was taking it easy. Crashing a RZR is a little more costly than crashing my motorcycle! :D

Looking forward to more UTV events! Doing the Cal City Poker run next weekend. Anyone else here gonna be there?


EDIT: TJWIZ- after watching your vid, sorry if I bumped you when I passed you at 13:50. I don't remember making contact with anyone, but it looks like we did bump a little bit.

[TJWIZ]

@ Sasquatch: It's all good. That's part of racing. If the opportunity was there to pass, go for it. There wasn't that many places to pass on that course.

[OFFROADSWAPMEET]

Great video. What a blast racing UTVs and the track looked fun.

Keenan was hauling the mail on the sand!

[COGNITO]

anyone know if this is going to happen again for 2012?

[Slowpoke Rodriguez]

Justin, this is what I took off thier Facebook page dated April 2012, there was nothing else


This week we have a meeting with the county to iron out the details on the BTO Race Around the Lake. It looks like it will be the 26th, 27th and the 28th of October this year. I'll keep ya all posted!
