Just machinin.....parts.Work,WorkWork...Damn I NEED to ride !! My band "THE FLICKERS" is booked Friday/Sat. at Stewart's Palce in Downtown Snohomish...Man I got to ride....

 

cool

 

hey larry- don't sweat it too much, the MX portion is milder than some parts out on the GP course! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] i have asked about running a beginner/novice/1st-time-racer class too.
if your not ready to air it out on a jump, you can always roll it. after a few times through the track you'll see how to use the power to make it easier on yourself & let the bike take the beating instead of you.
take a look at the track info & picture, average track width is 30 feet. the GP course is narrower in parts, but passing is not a problem on most of it.
always remember, it's just one lap at a time in this kind of race... then someone else on your team gets to go beat themself up for a lap while you rest!

 

supergumby5000- you need to talk your dad into going camping in goldendale on the weekend of April 24th-25th! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] i know you've said you want to try racing... here's your chance!

also, i must tell everyone that plans on going: get competition tear-offs for your goggles, they irrigate sections of the track & it's always muddy in spots. these usually aren't too expensive, but are worth thier weight in gold when you're in traffic in a muddy area... such as the start & portions of the MX track.

something really cool about this track is that you see it from about a mile or more on the highway when you're driving to it. it's carved into a big grassy hillside & ridge just a short distance from highway 97.

it's still 3 months away & i'm pumped to go!

 

me too

we should try and get a practice group together to ride the track before then (its new to me)

 

I'm seriously considering riding in that race! I'd like to have my son on my team, but Mrs. Toyz isn't sure she wants Toyz Jr. riding in a race... Moms... whatcha gonna do??? I need to work on her a little... She only has heard stories about my riding in the Desert 100 and all the carnage along the trail... The start of the race is like a scene out of a mad-max movie. Last year they had to air-lift quite a few people out to Spokane that weekend... She doesn't want Toyz Jr. to get hurt...

Quite honestly I think he'd be fine if he didn't start the race, but just rode a lap or two... I'm sure she'll change her mind.

My days at the desert 100 were few but I think they're over, this race sounds a lot more fun.

I'd like to go practice on the track too... Let's set up a date if we can.

 

What is the desert 100 and where was it at?

 

Joe, you need to wait till he can tell the story in person, Mr Toyz is a great story teller!!

 

HELP!!!!!

I have the flyer for the race at Goldendale, but it is in Adobe pdf format and I can't post it. Is anyone on here able to host this on their web space or convert it to a jpeg format so I can host it on mine??
