Shoulda strapped the 450r to the trailer and came to visit me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Tell the boss you hit some chitty traffic and take a couple hours to ride [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

If ya circle the wagons. I'll be on a cot under someones Awning [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] hell i just sleep in my folding chair..

Now larry i know Math for truck drivers is a class you need to take.. Spots are 16' wide x 30 deep? yeah. So in circle mode. you have 32' length with a rig at each side of the spots and each rig at less than 8'6" in width so thats 17' off the 30' leaves 13' for an Isle way. lil more secure Quadcycle parking. then you have a few spots at the end for tow rig parking. people like 2many and bomber havein the long trains are compensated by like TP and nikili with the short wagons.

 

Hey WQ.. Im pretty good at this loan sharkin gig.. Just let me know if ya need some assistance in gettin sompin outta her. We could make her believe she is gonna take a cold swim in concrete shoes [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Let me make this easy. It has been posted, and openly discussed on multiple forums since before the Skagit Speedway race over two weeks ago. Lets rewind back to last January. You wanted to know if we would go racing with you through the summer, we said yes.

You post on a weekly basis how you are waiting for brakes on the Blaster, and mods for the new 50. If you got the brakes fixed, you should have posted, and or called someone to let us know that you got the brakes fixed. You did not. SO to the best of my knowledge, you still don't have any race ready machines. Communication is a TWO WAY STREET, and I don't read minds. SO if you want to point fingers, turn your around and point it at yourself!

Sponsorship....................My back pocket. I don't have a single person paying my, or my son's entry fees. The only person to ever give me money for my race program bought front brakes. I did return the favor and install some parts on his machine. (I still owe him more labor) The Barn gave my son and I each a pair of pants, jersey, gloves, and a slight discount. No money, no machines! Doug gave me a good deal on building my rear lowering kit. My Dad, ya right. RPM signs did the graphics on my 450 for free for the Everett Events Center show to advertise his company's name on my bike, I paid for Brandon's number plates, he did our helmets for free, because I send alot of business his way. To race quads in this area is a joke, there is no money in flat-track racing, it is only for fun. The race at Skagit paid the pro bike winner $1000.00. The pro quad got $100.00. WHAT GLORY HUH?

My honest .02 cents. Don't cry, complain, brag about what broke (again, and again) fix it right the first time. If money is tight, sit out for a while until it can be fixed. No one is going to sponsor someone that openly talks about equipment failures (as it shows lack of maintainence). You are probably reading this fuming at me, thinking that I've got all of this money to keep on racing. You couldn't be more wrong.

In closing, you can have all my machines, and spare parts, on this condition. Quit biotchen about having it bad, AND GIVE ME MY MOM BACK! I'm out!

 

Ever Hear the term... Crack Kills? I know how to manufactur some special Crack. just leave the crack and a pipe sittin on the tank. they will think they got away with somepin. then you can read about em in the paper [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Dirty. Even OFC knew there was a race this weekend and i dont pay that much attention [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Ok i read everything and remember nothing.. umm somethings. anyway. you was informed so EASY WOMAN [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Dang Bill you beat up Dirty pretty good [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] you had me laughin till the last line [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

OFC you have a specialty in everything, Huh? LMAO

 

I like hearing about Dirtmomma's stories. She tells it how it is! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I'm with ya guys there on the money and maintenance thing.
We don't have nearly enuough money for all this racing we are trying to do[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
That's why I try to keep the kids' quads up to snuff so they don't break, that would kill us.
It's hard dropping almost $100 or more per race day or weekend.
It certainly drains us and takes money away from other things.
I'm sure it's just gonna get more spendy [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img], I'll do whatever it takes to keep them out there playing.
But............ It's so worth it......We have a blast doing it. If we didn't do it, the kids wouldn't have much else to do. While a lil spendy, It's a great and fun family sport, along with hanging out and playing with firends. Teaches the kids a lot and keeps them out of trouble.
In the end, the kids that grow up doing activities and lots of family fun, are the kids that stay out of trouble and grow up to be good people[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
It doesn't matter what you do, or the money you spend (or don't spend), it just the matter of doing something as a family, and doing it often.

I look at it this way............
There have been a few events recently, and the past couple days, that puts life into perspective...
Katrina - many many words to describe that... enough said
3 ladies killed in a freak accident on Snoqualmie Pass
3 y/o boy left in boat after dad supposedly drowns
3 more killed in another car accident
a Guy killed in another car accident
etc. etc. etc.

Live life to the fullest EVERY DAY [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] You never know when it will end.
Spend all the time you can with your kids, family and friends, do the things that you love to do.

That's what is so great about this vast group of riders and friends [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Great people, great attitudes, live life to the fullest, and just out here to have fun.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
ALWAYS willing to help out fellow friends, no matter what is needed.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
We've all been on the receiving and/or giving end of this......[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Just look at how big this group is [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] And how long people stick around [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
There is not a lot of turnover..Sure a couple folks come and go, for various reason, but even those people pop back on here or show up once in a while [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
