2004 Mid East Series Round #2 - Circle J

[Bonnie Cook]

Round Two of the Mid East Series was held in Boiling Springs, NC at the Circle J Ranch. Over four hundred riders appear again and the riders were ready to tackle the track. With tight woods, dusty hot weather, and grassy fields, nothing could have been better.
Buren Hamrick, told the riders about the track. A Fair warning so to speak!

[barry rhames]

HEY GUMP DID YOU GET YOUR RIDE ON TO DAY HOW YA FEELIN
HEY ARRON WHAT DID YOUR MOM SAY ABOUT NEXT WEEKEND
HEY YALL I NEED HELP SETTING MINE UP ANYBODY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SPRING SAG SETTING FROM FRONT TO REAR ACTUALY HOW TO DO IT. LIKE STEP BY STEP SANTO SAYS NO MORE THAN 35% BUT IS FRONT AND REAR SUPOSSED TO BE EVEN ALSO HOW DO YOU MEASURE IT LIKE FROM THE SHOCKS STRECHED OUT TO YOU SITTING ONIT OR FROM NOT ON IT TO ONIT EITHER WAY MY BACK IS ALOT MORE THAN THE FRONT BUT IF I STIFFEN THE SPRING IN THE REAR IT WILL SIT HIGHER AND PROBABLYKICK UP RIGHT BUT NOW I CANT BREAK THE REAR END LOSE NO MATTER WHAT AND I KNOW THAT SOUNDS GOOD BUT ITS NOT BECOUSE ITS TRUE TO A CERTAIN POINT THAT LOOSE IS FAST BECOUSE I WAS FASTER WHEN IT HAD BALD TIRES AND A THIRD GEAR WHEELIE ISNT ACCEPTABLE IN TIGHT WOODS I LEARNED LOL

[gump]

first, aaron if you have a stock air filter you may not have to rejet and if you do i can show you how,
barry, i took mine to santo's and him and hid showed me how to do it, and camber and toe in.. you need to sit on it and the back of the frame right in front of the rear tires needs to be a 1/2 inch lower than the front where you measure at where the frame starts to turn inward, measureing points are not to far apart. you can run less than 1/2 inch in the dry stuff but in mud is when you want all that tracsion.. or how ever you spell it
that was explained to me by the man..

[kfxkikr]

hey barry, she said we could come down saturday after noon and let u do it, but she wants to know how long it takes to get there and how long it will take u to do the cutting and fitting and all that stuff.....but im not sure if ill have it back by sat cuz i put it back in the shop cuz there was a mist in it and my mechanic is backed up a lil now but he said that i would have it back by then.............. but i dont kno noting about setting the sag or anything...my mechanic does all that stuff for my weight and riding style so i cant help you there.....i can ask him for you tho unless you know someone

[kfxkikr]

so if i have a stock airfilter i dont have to jet it...thats good cuz i still have my stock and ill put it back on.....when you want to get together and do this busiess.....first did you ride this weekend and did you get a hmf

[gump]

not riding yet, wrist not responding like i thought it would, maybe next sunday, should get my hmf friday or monday.. if i get it before then i'll let ya know so you can get this one and run it at brown with us sunday, if i can't ride my race partner and bro and derrick are..

[gump]

seen aarons sunday at brown.. very impressed, but will it take a hit ?? wrist still very sore, but i rode 3 hours sunday, boy am i out of shape !!!!!!!!!!!! don't know about hickory, may just try to run a couple of laps.. hate to screw it up again by riding to soon
damm aarons a fast dude on that kawi !!!!

[gump]

aaron i got my hmf today "monday" call me or reply and you can meet me at work and pick up this white bros, pay me when you can..

[kfxkikr]

first of all, barry i liked my skid up there at brown sun. it did great. very pleased with it and thanks for all that stuff you gave me...u didnt have to do it and when we was leaving my mom was like i felt like we needed to pay him but she was like i tried and he would not take it....gump...where do you work at? my quad is in the shop now trying to get everything done...my mechanic is changing oil for free..flushing out radiator......and cleaning carb. jets and changin all the gas hoses and bunch of ****...dont know why he just called and wanted me to bring it to him....ill just wait and get the pipe from you at the race...barry ill let you fix the skid at the race too i guess....what you goin to change and i think i need like some u bolts in the middle of the skid to hold it to the frame....

[barry rhames]

yeah im glad you like it ive got a plan for both the bolt and the bowed out part . it really take the rocks well doesnt it

[gump]

i work at continental teves on jamestown road.
barry you gonna give me one so i can advertise it fer ya ??? :D
boy this hmf is a nice pipe.. candy blue and pretty loud

[barry rhames]

i would love to give you a skid plate but the cost of materials over head (morgage) and seriuse lack of saleswont let me though if you keep it down i can get you a deal unless you have a new 450 honda or yamaha i need patterns for them. seriously though i can bring some sunday all i have right now is black i have a policy right now cant buy a nother sheet until one is paid for i only lack one mor though it could be you....plus to get a free one you have to out run my sponserd rider lol i have to start 4 rows up to stay ahead of him and last time that didnt work. what does c/t the place you work make it sounds so familiar.

[gump]

how much for the frame skid like aarons ?? and how much does it weigh ?? looks like i could break it.. and as far as out running your rider.. if he lets me tune his quad i'll smoke him otherwise forget it.. i'm in my 40s he's in high school... duh
we make anti lock brakes.. it used to be ITT.. and no we don't make brake pads.. the brains of the brakes
gonna try to race sunday. know i'm not ready but gonna go just run a coulpe of laps

[barry rhames]

Ithink yall orderd plastic from were i used to work cardinal plastics if you have any pull dont do it any more they suck .il get you a number of 3 places better yes theres a little hostility .they are going for 60 but we can do better than that since your going to be advertising and all.you wont break it you can bend it in half and re straiten it (with a vise and a big pipe wrench) ther not realy that hevy compared to alluminum the only down fall is u lose about a 1/4 inch of clearance but its made up by being slick as .....

[barry rhames]

and being in your 40 has an advantage u have the money to go far. and experiance . theres nothing worse than being 20 or so and riding the wheels of a close to stock bike and not having the income to go with it the only thing worse is being like me have all the good stuff and dont know how to set it up but sombody warn brian im going to figure it out .

[gump]

hell i got all the good shizt too, just not enough *** to ride it for an hour and a half.. which is my fault for not getting in shape...

[kfxkikr]

hey now guys lets don't talk about gump racing me for a skid now hahaha jk guys.....how u like that hmf gump...im goin to get that pipe from you at the race so bring it and barry do u wanna fix the skid at the race too....i ordered a new durablue axle last night...465 dolla for that thang...comes with axle carrier hubs and all...its bad...i ordered new tag handlebars and plastic too.....im gettin a aftermarket suspension and front end this summer and it will hook me up hahahahha......gump did you get your suspension from santo...i called him and got prices on elkas

[gump]

love the hmf.. if you want the pipe at the race that's cool are you gonna put it on there ?? need to sand a flnge that i had troulbe getting off.. no santo is to high on everything,, can beat his price by about $50 or $75 and shipped straight from elka
i use burgard cycle for all my front end,, good deal on wheels too
if you want we can put that pipe on saturday evening, shouldn't have to rejet, and i don't plan on out running anyone this week maybe next race i'll run hard

[barry rhames]

im going to overall this one ha ha ha .anyways does cardinal plastics sound familiar in kings mtn.yeah ill fix your skid at the race

[gump]

santo won't be at this one.. so beat brian and mike and you have a chance barry...

[barry rhames]
