Flat River Grand Prix

[ILGNCC400EX]

It was a pretty dusty day for a race! A record turn out. Quadjunkies is going to try to put some pics up for me! :D

[QuadJunkies]

A little dusty? There were times when I could not see, but I had a great time. Pictures are always nice to see.

Go over to www.********.com and look at the story and pictures that John did on the race. Hope that everyone had a good time. I was told the total number was 226, but could be wrong.
Thanks for everyone that came and road. We worked for over 6 months laying out the course so that you would have a good race. Each year I think that this was the best course that we have done, but it seems that we are able to top wat we did the year before. Hope that you liked all of the fresh cut this year.

Did you get my email about the pics????

Atv Scene covered the article very well. Glad they recognize the quads. ONLY Michael and Josh were waved to go the direction off course and when questioned about it of course no one would admit to doing it. Oh well guess that is racing. It was just a bad deal for them. I think I will be cleaning dust out of the trailor for awhile. momma B

track was awesome!!!!! the fresh cut section was fantastic. I thought the variety of tight/technical and wide open was well spaced and in perfect proportion. It was the best flat river track yet and I always like them. Tom P and Greg Kinkelar and Brian Jones(thats the only 3 i know that set course but im sure there were more) really outdid themselves this year. Record turnout too--gotta love that. I gain more faith in MHSC all the time. Its a great series that is only getting better. See ya'll at Tebbetts. Matt Olson

Great race the club did a outstanding job, Terry Minck crashed and was taken to hospital he's ok , he zigged when he should've zagged dust got him but that is like they say racing, next year sprinkler system would be nice though.
Watch out MHSC is growing with every race time we start looking at mini's more and maybe the "Bike" side will have to glance our way more LOL

[yfz450xc]

I'm getting word that one of our "Bike"guys from the AA class was seriously injured in sundays race and did not pull through ??
Would anyone have info on this??

:( It is true. I dont know any details. MHSC web site has a little info.
Thoughts are with his family

[yfz450xc]

In the post dispatch st louis paper it stated that he failed to make a 90 degree turn and went into a drainage ditch I just wonder if it was the same placed Terry Minck "ATV" went off in ??
It no comfort to anyone in a time like this and we all belong to the same family of riders.
May God comfort his Loved ones.

I was there. He crashed in the same spot as Terry Minck. However, Witness said that he was all by himself and it wasn't any dusty bocking his view. It was no his thrid lap. the witness said he never let off his throtle from the sound of his motor even in the air. Crashed into the other side of bank.

:( God Bless......

As a mom of a racer and I feel like alot of you are my sons wheather you know me or not, I pray for each one of you when you take off on the start off and am so glad when I see each one of you come in safely. Our hearts go out to this family and we have to pray every day that we make that finish line at each race. Momma B

[yfz450xc]

No one could've put it better than taht MommaB, we have all had our scares in this game and we know the chances we take, thats what keeps us all together more than regular people !!!!!!!!!!!

[Carl Nevins]

i made it about 3 miles that day before mine broke so dakota don't worry about it yfz450 can tell ya i have had my fair share of probs this year and missed or not finished a bunch of races and every time i keep telling everyone it's for sale but i keep fixing it, we'll get it right one of these times and then all of them will be wishing we were still broke down.

[1 bad dakota]
