From the SECCA Racing Facebook Group:
What is something you wish someone had told your before your first Harescramble race?

Brian Merryfield
Be most patient in your first lap. It’s ok to sit down.

John S. Manning
Get out front an stay in lead

Justin Walker
Work out more!

Gary Bridges
Don’t get to anxious. Treat it more like a trail ride than a race and you’ll do better than you think.

Josh Risner
Eat a banana before to help with cramps after

David Ryan Seay
Drink an ABSOLUTELY ridiculous amount of water the entire week before and plenty of pickles, and STRETCH your entire body. But most importantly, DO NOT THINK OF YOUR FIRST “race” TO BE A RACE. Think of it as organized fun. Go out there and have fun.

Mark Walton
Make a will

Kelly Capeheart
Front brake……BAAAD!!!

ChrisTopher Hedrick
The track gets way worse as the day goes on

Greg Dean
Smoother is faster

Derek Willis
Full send and hope for the best. If you go over the bars rub some dirt on it and get back on that thing. Just kiddin’. Tell them to stand up more and stay on the pegs, when in doubt gas it, raise the front wheel and let the bike tire do what it wants.

Grant Lowe
Don’t grip so tight and shift up

Mike Land
Hydrate hydrate hydrate

Jessica Phillips
Make sure the clutch is fully engaged before you kick…. This isn’t motocross

Kim DeLoach
You cannot win it on the start, but, you sure can lose it.

Kent Farmer
Get in shape and drink lots of water and Gatorade!

Logan Blizard
If you ride over your head and come in illprepared, you will wreck. Hard. And have 11 concussions. Don’t overdo what your body won’t allow

Wesley Vaughn
Don’t try to race. Just go ride. Otherwise your not gonna be able to get off your bike at the end from muscle cramps. Lol happened to me.

Heath Attaway
That it was like a drug and you got addicted.

Royce N Joan Wyatt
Use plenty of Desitin

Cody Phillips
Your not as good as your think you are, you don't need to be in A class on a XR 250.

Bill Patridge
PRAY

Ronnie Cicero Sr.
Race your race ! You're not racing everybody

Nick Waldrop
Have fun and don’t race. Just ride and set a pace. If you set a pace and flow you’ll pass the guys that’s battled towards the end bc they’ll be wore out from pushing

Matt L Boone
I always told Parker, Ride smart and HAVE FUN.

Brian Goodwin
Go fast where you can, go slow when you need to.

Thomas Brooks
Relax and let the bike flow ! Oh yeah, stay on the gas no slacking off !

Brian Paschal
Pass and don't get passed

Nick Kitchen
Start in second gear

Cullen Jacob
Get in shape and eat healthy

Kyle Peterson
Pull over at the hardest obstacle and watch all the guys fail !

Clint King
You're gonna need a Sugar Momma

Debbie Seale McLeroy
That if sign up is at 8 the line starts at 7

Gracie Pizzolato
Pain is temporary. Quiting lasts forever. lol

Bailey Nicole Lantrip
The first race sucks. You make stupid mistakes.... you might be an adult woman and have the Waldrop boys and Justin Crane help you almost the entire time. But it’s okay... put your pride aside. First race nerves are real.

Robert Cowles
After the first lap, find the short cuts! The fast guys are going to show you the way!!!

Ken Loftin
Take 2 Advil 10 minutes BEFORE the race. Seriously

Michael Henderson
Classes explained. And an understanding that you really don’t have to race it, you can get out there and just enjoy the obstacle course.

Tyler Kyle
Make sure your suspension is set up for woods riding. MX suspension in the woods can be a bad experience for a beginner. Hydrate. Look ahead. Have fun

Logan Nixon
Don’t overthink it. The more you read these comments the more intimidating it will seem.
Seat time and experience is the best way to get fast so just go ride and have fun!

Carolyn Reed
Stephen always told the boys that the hole shot isnt always key. It can make for a wipe out real quick like with a pack of em on your tail. Ride behind them for a lap or two and watch! Unless its dusty of course... if its dusty then just full send!

Toby Jolly
If you have to pace yourself you aren’t in good enough shape. If you run out of energy before the end of the race it doesn’t mean go slower at the start it means get off your ass and train during the week.

I hit the description limit but got about half of the comments entered here.
