Went down south to run TORCS race,the first race of their 2025 season. It was a new property. The dirt and weather were great. On Sunday the track got really rough. It was a great weekend of racing.
Great time at the Barteau Ranch enduro. Track was great soil was great and the weather was great. Also it was great for me to line up with my dad and my son and race motorcycles. Good times.
Well this was the last race of the season. Good news is I made it through the season without getting hurt. Bad news isi tied Rock for the championship and he beat me on the tie breaker. I had to chance today to win the championship but Todd had his race face on I had nothing for him. All in all great season good battles and just blessed to be out riding at 62 yrs old.
@@dwaynecopeland9537 I don’t know where we got him. I thought he was gone and I got 3rd. I asked Todd after the race and he said he missed the fast line on the first split where you go down and back up the hill or go way around the top. He tried to stop and get back but fell. He said he got back in behind me but I never saw him. What happened to you? It looked like you were going good.
Had a good race today with Rock. I only showed the first lap because the other three laps were just like the first. I chased Rock all day. We stayed 5-15 seconds apart the whole way but I wasn't able to get him so I ended up 2nd. Will try again next week.
As always, great riding with you! I had to use a short extension piece (1/2") to get the camera angle right on mine. It adds an extra screw but it works.
First off, sorry about the camera angle. I got a new chin mount and could not get it high enough. I posted my first lap where i got totally lost. Had do do a little of the track again. Then I posted my fastest lap on each test. Had a good time. Thanks TORCS.
Had a good time out at Quinlan Enduro. Did the time trial event. Don’t have much video because I forgot to turn the camera on for my first run. So only got the second run.
I rode that track the weekend after you guys raced there. The place sure was tore up. If they'd routed the track to the left at 5:42, you would've seen a horribly deep and muddy river crossing that was dragging the footpegs down on our bikes. It's too bad that Steve decided to never have another race there.
We took a little trip down south to race a Sprint Enduro with our friends at TORCS. TCCRA had pretty good representation. Just a note if you ever run one of these, do not go balls to the walls on the first test. You get 4 more. I crashed twice on my first test. It messed up my gopro mount and I had trouble all day. So I have an new chin mount ordered. The tracks were fun and the weather was not to bad. There was a good breeze all day. We did 10 tests. Average about 5 minutes per test. Probably had 10 minutes in between test, so a little break to cool off.
Well if you are pacing off me you are going to slow. You were going good when you passed me. Make sure and yell "different class" when you come up on me. There are usually two of you H3's that catch me. Most of the other people who catch me are in my class and I try not to let them by.
Yeah I thought it was the blue line big hill. So I panicked and turned around looking for the line around the hill. Then I realized it was just a regular hill. I lost the race by 25 seconds. That move didn’t help me.
Didn’t have a good day. I hurt the bike at the last race. It got really hot. I paid the price at this race. I dropped a valve ruined my head. So scrambling to get everything together to get it going in a week. So video is only a little over a lap before it grenades.
This was a tough one. I am not a very good mud rider and this was some tough mud. My GoPro battery didn’t make it to the end. My race was over 2 hrs. So enjoy me going 2 mph most of the video.
My first time at Redneck w/Paychecks. It was an awesome place and a great track. Had the closest race I have had in a long time. The first three finished nose to tail. I did have some issues with some of the GoPro files. They got corrupted. If anybody knows how to repair them please let me know. I was still able to get 3 1/2 laps.
I've got to work on my starts and passing. I got a horrible start and while it was a great track, it was really hard to find places in the woods to get around guys that were just barely slower. Add a couple of bad decisions on my part resulted in spending most of the day at the back of a line with no way around.
Well this race went better than the last one. But my GoPro footage did not. About 1 minute into the race I landed hard on a little step down jump. It knocked my GoPro loose. Spent the rest of the race pushing it up. I edited out all the footage of my chest. I left some footage that is a little hard to watch because of the angle but it was a great track and wanted to try and get some video of it. So Kevin Ruckdeschell no need to comment that my camera is to low. I already know.
Well 2024 season started off ok. I finished, which was my main goal. For some reason my GoPro didn’t make it to the end. Will have to get that figured out. But it looks like this season should be a lot of fun and very competitive.
The race did not go as planned. I had this get off on the second lap. Would like to thank Chris Baula nd Brent Shaw for helping. Also the guy on the red bike. I will get his name and try to thank him. I ended up with a broken collar bone, broken scapula, 6 broken ribs and a broken thumb. With these things it is not a matter of if it is just when and how bad, Would like to congratulate Rob on his hard fought championship. He came out swinging and the rest of us just couldn't keep up. we will be back next year for another good fight,

Good ride-track looks great. Tell your dad hi for me. Wish I’d been there!
Will do!
Great time at the Barteau Ranch enduro. Track was great soil was great and the weather was great. Also it was great for me to line up with my dad and my son and race motorcycles. Good times.
Man seeing you guys tear it up is pretty awesome
Thanks but this track was the one doing the tearing up. It was a rough one.

Another great ride. Where did you and Rock get around Todd?
@@dwaynecopeland9537 I don’t know where we got him. I thought he was gone and I got 3rd.

Good camera angle! Not really as much dust in most places
Had a good time up at Redneck Heaven. They could have used a little rain. Had another great battle with Rock but was not able to get him.
417 Christopher Road
5689 Strosin Vista
The address is actually 4822 fox rd Gilmer tx. I do not believe it is open to the public.
Where is this in Simpsonville? I’d like to ride here!
Having kruck approval is like getting the good housekeeping seal of approval
Great ride! Thanks for letting me know our riders were safe! Oh, good video,KRuck approved,lol
Fun time in Simpsonville. Track was long and rough. But it was nice to have no rocks or dust.
Did your camera die after lap 1? You guys had great lap times!
Had a good race today with Rock. I only showed the first lap because the other three laps were just like the first. I chased Rock all day. We stayed 5-15 seconds apart the whole way but I wasn't able to get him so I ended up 2nd. Will try again next week.
What class are you riding in?
As always, great riding with you! I had to use a short extension piece (1/2") to get the camera angle right on mine. It adds an extra screw but it works.
😅I will get one and try it out. Yes it is always a good time when we ride together. Hopefully next time we won’t get lost

keep it up

Pacing you in the woods really helped me. I just ran out of steam on the last lap. That was me you let by at the 34:29 mark. Fun race
Well if you are pacing off me you are going to slow. You were going good when you passed me. Make sure and yell "different class" when you come up on me. There are usually two of you H3's that catch me. Most of the other people who catch me are in my class and I try not to let them by.
it was a hot dusty one. I am just not fast enough in the sand and rock. Speaking of Rock he flew by me like I was sitting still.
Yeah I thought it was the blue line big hill. So I panicked and turned around looking for the line around the hill. Then I realized it was just a regular hill. I lost the race by 25 seconds. That move didn’t help me.
@15:10 Throwing in an extra blue line for style points
Ok I had to delete the old video and put this up. I had a loop in there that repeated the first 10 minutes. This also has stuff not in the first one.
ooff.. That didn't sound good... You need an orange bike.. lol
Nah I like the blue bike. A new head, one cam and new piston it will be as good as new. My little orange eater will be ready to go.
when the rain started it was ice...
Wow-that’s tough. Looks like you were headed for the lead in another lap or two!
Didn’t have a good day. I hurt the bike at the last race. It got really hot. I paid the price at this race. I dropped a valve ruined my head. So scrambling to get everything together to get it going in a week. So video is only a little over a lap before it grenades.
That looked tough. So glad I went to Concho instead. It was wet but at least there's a rock base that doesn't get slotted out. Solid ride!
This was a tough one. I am not a very good mud rider and this was some tough mud. My GoPro battery didn’t make it to the end. My race was over 2 hrs. So enjoy me going 2 mph most of the video.
Well.. I hope this coming weekend at Forbis 2024 isn't that tight or that dusty, lol.
Haha I think you jinxed us bc it was the worst race I think I’ve done ever and the back section near the road was a slip fest
Congrats on the win. Track and riders looked awesome. Hope you get files for the finish.
Thanks 👍

It was nice to see Copeland out there. Now, tighten up that go pro mount, lol
Yes it was a great track but had to work to get around guys close to the same speed.
Congrats on the win. Great ride!
Thanks!

Where is this place?
It is east of Ardmore Oklahoma. You can do a search for redneck heaven riding park
We've all been there, glad to see you get up safe! The last race was a good one to miss anyway...
Rough get off, man. Heal up quick, gotta start all over in a few months!
yep 3-4 months should be enough time to be ready for next season.
Holy cow. Hope you heal up fast man that is rough. You’re tough Danny thanks for making these videos.
Thank you. Doing a little better, still rough getting up and down
Dang man. I hated that side of the road. All that deep sand was horrible. Baula is a good dude. Glad he was there to help. 👍 E378. Heal up soon.
Yes Baula is a good dude. He made sure I got out of there and back to camp.
Heal up buddy that was a rough one!
Thanks
