Patriot first report

[Dunlap]

Just received a call from Todd Ribblett, he rode his V-Force 800 to a 2nd place finnish in the utility unlimited. Bryan Cook was leading on the last lap with Billy Ballance right on his butt. Bryan ended up getting 2nd to Billy. So far Jeremy Benson won his class. Mike Benson was leading the last we heard in the Open A class on his new 500r. That's all we know for now.

[Dunlap]

It was just reported back to me that 3 pro riders cut the track and Bryan Cook is the overall winner:confused:

[gump]

who were the 3 ??
hope bryan did win.. Midast Boy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh yeah and four stroke tech boy too !!!!!!

OH HELL YAAAAAAAAAA:o

Ballance, Smiley and Borich were the 3 riders involved. Ballance is appealing/protesting to the ATVA/AMA over the situation. they went around a bottleneck and came back on the trail to far away from what I've gathered. It sounds like a BIG mess and there's going to be lots of issues brought up this week.

Jeff had a battery come loose on his ATK. He had to go back and fix a broke mount which cost him a lap.

Rolwrag got 4th in 4 stroke A..:cool:

Traci took 2nd overall. Her nephew Tyler (TJL) took the overall win in the morning class.

Harlen finished 7th overall.

Woolin's MX skills failed on him and he ate chit on a double and went back to the trailer. He's OK,, just bruised up a little.

Catmostfeared (Marty) broke a tie-rod about 2 miles in and had to get towed back. He fixed it and went back out to finish the race.

The track had a major downpour last night. No real bad mud but it got rutted out and made for a fairly rough track. Today it sounded like it was perfect weather..

where did jim stack finish? or did his lips get in the way of his front tires and make him dnf????????????:confused:

[brian-250]

Rico, why in hell werent you there?^^^:confused:

[Dunlap]

Bryan is getting paid for first from me even if he ends up getting moved back to 2nd. He has placed in the top ten in the pro class 9 races in a row and he deserves everything he gets.:)

Heard 2nd to Kilby.

[Dunlap]

Just got a call from Dirt Wheels Cain Smead that rode the Yellow Prairie. The seat latch broke on the first lap so he had to sit down the whole race. He took 4th in class and had a blast passing the sport quads in the wide open feilds. He said he was doing the doubles on the MX part of the track that only a feww pros where doing. Did you get any pics of that Pappy?

[Pappy]

Unfortunatley I had to stay close to our pit for the AM race:( so i only was able to take limited pictures. I prolly have a few you will like tho:p

[Pappy]

It looked as good in person as it did in pictures.:)

[Pappy]

He took that corner alot faster then I was prepared for:p it would have made a great picture

[Pappy]

Mickey, you maybe able to explain what the heck these fellers are up too:eek2: I'd like to go faster but I draw the line at some things:D Do you have any insight on what they are doing...and why:p

yup..pink skirt and all. and by looking of the size of him i'd have to say he needs some steroids and about 3 friends before he mouths off to damn near anyone:p his big mouth aside he rode good and placed well, too bad no one cares because he made himself look so bad

Thanks for asking...

The front right hub broke off two of the four wheel stud mounts on the second lap, and the other two finally broke on the beginning of the fourth lap and my front wheel went sailing through the woods. Tried to run on three wheels up until the 2 mile marker and I had to give up.:(

I would have thought ya could have done it Doug. The front ones don't touch the ground much anyway when I've been out with ya.

Man. I thought those team green guys were dedicated just for standing in the sun all day wearing black pit garb. "Pampered" is the word that comes to mind when I see the factory riders don't even have to wipe their own ***!
I'm guessing both in the pic were at that moment regretting pitting at TACO BELL the night before.

Thanks for another great pic Pappy.:macho

[PrairieFrisbee]

Doug,

Sorry to hear about your wheel..looks like you had a good run going until then.

[jb500ex]
