We are going the 15th and 16th, if there is snow. We are racing 1 1 05, so tell regan just to wait a dam 2 weeks. If he waits I'll bring him glow in the dark safety ribbon.

 

We went but a camara never entered my mind.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

What a great start to the kids winter Vacation.
Haven't I said before how much I like Tam being on the same schedule as the kids???
So when the kids are off, she is off. Lots more time for Family stuff.
Well today was the first day of winter break, so Tam is off for two weeks.

aaaaagggggghhhhhhhh.....I need to plan a ride or something.soooooonnnnnn

 

Sean; Say when and I will be there; except tomorrow is the wife's surgery is in the am, so that's out and Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are out as I want to live past any of the afore mentioned dates. But other than that I am open and ready to ride. I finally got the 400 off the trailer this afternoon after getting a new tongue jack that Sean broke on saturday night. I called the dealer and he wants to see the linkage as he does think it was assembled wrong. So wednesday morning I have got to try to get it to him, but we will see as if the weather is nice I might have to ride.

 

I had a great time at woodland! Wesley, the guy that went with me, did awesome in 4-stroke amature- 1st place... i think he had a good time too. the santa trophy he got looked cool!

as loki said, i took 3rd in the 30+ class, but i didn't get it without a fight. i had riders breathing down my neck both motos all the way to the finish(took 4th in moto 1 & 3rd in moto 2)... Loki & the 1st place rider just walked away from us. i was wondering why there was 10 riders on our 1st gate & only 8 on the 2nd?.. i was realy hoping to trophy... but got hosed- missed it by one place(again)!

it was really cool seeing Kory Ellis in action again. i took his MX riding class in July, I said hi to him before the race & he gave me a smile when i passed by him after my 1st moto on my way back to my truck.... i think he was surprised i didn't crash [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Saturday, january 1st, there is a XC hare scramble at Longview... it's called the 'hangover'for good reason, lots of folks are still recovering from partying! it's not too far away, so come on out!!!! good thing is quads run at 1:30 PM(signup is at 12:30). ( so- plenty of time to sleep in!) cost is $10 gate fee, $30 race fee... they have classes for both utilty & sport quads. be early, i've seen them run quads earlier than expected.
if you want directions & more info see the FLYER

i've raced this course twice & it's been different both times... definitely some great XC terrain!

 

I'll bring a can of Raid too!

 

I did go to the ice races. For the most part I had a great time. The nitro burner bikes and the outlaw quads were very cool. The ice breaker quads were quads (the only thing cool about them) and the gocarts were just that. Kinda like a moped. cool to ride, not very cool to watch others ride them. There was one moron in the ice breaker quad class that comes out withoout running the heat race. He is complaining about starting gate assingments. So he goes to the end of the arena and starts doing donuts. They finally take a few minutes to iron out the gate, and dumb dumb is still doing donuts? They finally get them all lined up and dumb dumb (who is wearing jeans and tennis shoes) only gets two laps in before he looses power. I'm glad he never got his machine refired.


The big embarassment of the night was the EMS staff working the races! They had a guy PACK the wall and he darn sure hit really hard. He laid there on the ice for 5-7 minutes, the announcer in paging them, the crowd is on there feet booing the ems guys. They finally get too the ice and the booing gets really loud then. It was loud enough that the EMS guys put on there headsets to avoid the noise. These guys are susposed to be next to the track when racing is going on. WTF? You guys are a disgrace! I will not race an event that those guys are working. That was complete bull$hit.

No I did not get photos. Sorry!

 

LOL i will let him know tonight, and let you know what he said.

 

Tractorpacker- where were you sitting at the ICE races? I was next to the Cycle Barn Booth, sitting in the upper level. Turn 4 level 2 to be exact.
