Well, I found a team mate for the GP race.
I am happy to say that Marci (nwcutie) and I are going to be partners. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Thanks to all who inquired, and best of luck to everyone in finding a partner.
No offence to all the guys that answered my add, but I do prefer to be in the women's class. I know some of the guys running amature, and after seeing them in action this weekend, they are quite fast. At least in the women's class, I have a chance at being competitive.

So what class is everyone racing in. After riding on the course I was wondering what class you all feel comfortable in. I guess i am trying to figure out where I should be. I don't want to embarass myself, but I don't want to ride with the kids either

There are going to be fast guys in all the classes and I don't think you would have to worry about embarassing yourself in any class, unless you decide to run with the pro's (or in the women's class). [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

i got in last night, fell asleep watching TV after putting the quad away, woke up & now i can't sleep...
i'm feeling the fun now... and my pocketbook will too. saturday had kinda crashed into a bail of hay after getting out of shape in a corner on the MX track, broke the hose nipple on my gas cap off.
i stayed the night, & was ready to ride sunday. i took it easy did a few laps on the MX track in the morning. they took a short break to do some watering & then changed direction to run the GP course. in my 1st lap on the GP course i hear a noise... so i pull over, rev the engine it sounds Ok so i go again... i hear it again. i pull off & look at the swingarm to find that my rear brake caliper had broken off and was being ground to bits by the chain. after putting the caliper on the nerf, i rode it in & investigated... i decided to load it up & head home
carnage for the weekend:
gas cap
rear brake line
rear brake caliper
rear brake caliper mount / adapter bracket
lower caliper slider bolt
upper caliper slider boot
one sore me
also needs to be done: rear shock rebuild
hopefully i can get it together enough to race next weekend. i'm going to investigate putting a different caliper on it.... it's going to be a busy week.
i had a great time, can't wait to run this next weekend & at the team race. i'm glad to see everyone made it back & unscathed other than soreness, bumps, & bruises.

Sorry to hear about the carnage!!!
I am sure we all know when we play hard we break stuff. Or lose stuff on the track.

I am still shooting for the Expert class. I know some others that will be in that class so it will be quite challenging. That's if my bike stays together.
