Default Taking the 650 to the motocross track!

Well, one of our riders for the 12 Hours race has talked me into letting him take the P650 to the motocross track this weekend! I guess we will see just how high a Prairie can fly! This is an all out MX track that has some big triples and doubles and a couple monster table tops. I helped build this track so the guy who owns the track said we could try it out this weekend to see if we want to run it in his race next weekend. He said "wouldn't it be funny as hell to see a 4x4 beat out all the other sport quads that show up!" Leo, our rider has been trying to get Oldmanwheeler to let him race the V Force but it is still new and he wants to be the first to wreck it! LOL I'll let you all know how bad this turns out and hopefully get some good pics!

Prairiewench, I have some Elmer glue if that'll help!!!! Or maybe Carl will get you some JB Bond! LOL Let me talk to Scott before you take the Prairie in. I think if we work with Scott we can pull this off but if you and Al start butting heads we are SOL. Call me before you leave for lunch - I will have talked to Scott by then. Tell Sara I miss her already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! New shocks are nice but will be better when we get the wheel spacers in. Is Leo still going to race next weekend? Hand on a second, let me rephrase that, is Leo still going to race the 650 next week? I still can't get over how much your picture on the forum looks like you, ya ol' bull dog.

He stands a better chance riding a uni-cycle in the race!!!! Wonder if our mutual friend has any spare parts laying around? LOL I call Mike Penland tomorrow and see what he has, but first I'll talk to Scott. How's Leo's ego?
