GasGas at the Texas Offroad Championship Series

[CombatYoga]

Hey Rod and everyone,

I rode my '14 XC300R to a 3rd place finish in 450C and Master's 40+C at last weekends TORCS Hare Scrambles event outside of Austin, Texas.

I got the holeshot on Sunday!

The bike is performing really well. The suspension still needs a bit of work but I'm not too far off. I'm waiting on a PFP adjuster tool from my dealer and hoping that will be the final adjustment. Perhaps a slight raise in the oil level.

Conditions were very hot (95-98 degrees F) and very dusty/dry.

The biggest improvement I made prior to this race was moving from a 48 to a 50 tooth rear sprocket.

Loving my GasGas!

AWESOME news! Good job on that finish!!! Get me some pictures please Curious though...your events are tight enough to justify the 50t rear, or you just wanted the power of the 300 to come on quicker for less clutch work?

Awesome job Slade.
See, you need to come train with me more.

re: GasGas at TORCS

Rod - yes the trails we race on here are typically fairly tight. There are a few straights in the woods, and there are always a few grass/flat track open sections, but the majority of the time it's 2nd/3rd gear in the woods. The sprocket change made a big difference (for my riding style anyway).

Gerard - Jason placed 2nd on Saturday and Sunday in his D class races. I'll give the guy a lot of credit - he has put the work in in the saddle and it has paid off.

I'll get some pics posted up here ASAP.

Congratulations mate. Mind if I ask what jetting you're running?

I'm a bit embarrassed to say I don't actually know. I had a JD Jetting kit installed by my dealer - it is set for seal level as I'm in Central Texas.

I have a pretty good gurgle at WOT that I'm now starting to try to figure out.

This was at a place called Honey Creek in Weimar, Texas. Just south of I-10.
