Texas Raptor Run April 13-15

[whisler151]

The date was set by the ranch. They have to accommodate hunters and other Offroad events. I don't think it's changeable. I know that they have quite a few motorcycle events in the spring.

Oh well. Thanks.

For someone new to this sport, what kind of equipment would be recommend to have for a trip like this? I'd love to go, but I want to be prepared and work that into the total cost of the trip.

 

[CAbimmer]

Probably a 2005 or newer helmet.

Probably a 2005 or newer helmet.

Neck brace.

I think I'm going to bring my kids (13&14) out and camp for the weekend.

Assuming that you have a Raptor.

For this track, since its a loop, with cell coverage, and auto parts stores nearby. I don't think you will really need much.

This is what I have for when I goto BAJA, which is a you break your screwed venue.

1. Fire Extinguisher
2. First Aid Kit
3. Tow Strap
4. Extra Spare Tire
4.1 Tire Plug Kit
5. Spare fluids
6. Shovel
7. Lowrance GPS
8. VHF Radio
9. Misc. Spare nuts and bolts
10. Fan Belt
11. Salt Shaker
12. A way to secure everything. (This one is important)

I highly recommend the first 4. A Helmet can never hurt, but I don't think that it will be required. The course will be marked so a GPS wont be required, but it helps to know whats coming up. VHF Radios make it fun to talk to everyone, and helps with calling out stops, etc...

Really all you need is your Raptor, and some wits.

Neck brace.

Most HNRs require harnesses to work properly (I Know mine does), and I personally feel that neck rolls can cause more harm than good.
