[jb500ex]

[Karizz]

Good, trailer is ready and Quad is loaded:D Should I get some clams and shrimp?:p

[jb500ex]

who would say no too that. you have too get the suburban also

[chad duvall]

Of course me and my crew, we only live about 45mins from the track(short cuts). Weathers been strange around here. So it could do just about what ever it wants over that way. I feel a little more prepared for this race than the last, I went to a district race on sat and a young boy there kept me on my toes. He was a very smart rider and was even in front of me for a couple laps. I really needed that and I look for this young kid to be a up and comer. I think he is in his late teens and runs the pro am class...669 was his number.
:D
See you all there!
Chad

[Pappy]

chad, we still cool ? i mean its ok if i tie a rope to your grab bar right:o :devil:




whoohooo :D

[BIGBLOCKBILL]

#669 is Adam McGill, he got me on Sunday at an outlaw XC. He will be someone to watch for in the future.Good to see you back Chad.

Me and Jeffy will be showing up friday night sometime..

I am dropping my trailer off Friday morning then heading to work. I just found out I have to stop by a job site that day. so that means I am heading almost 3 hours due West and the 3 hours back.

Rico can you guys stop in Maysville Ky and check on one of my superintendents for me? check and see how many block he has laid!!!!!!!!!!

[300exOH]

We're hoping to make the race. How's the parking situation there?

How's the parking situation there


Not real good!!!!!!!`

[300exOH]

Thanks. Should I be worried about bringing my car or will I need my truck?

[cdalejef]

A car will be ok unless it rains, its just that the parking area is small.

[300exOH]

Gotcha! In other words get there asap.:D Thanks.

I'll be there with the family as long as it isn't going to be a mudfest. My boy is getting excited after hearing my stories about the Wisp.

[300exOH]

he he That's right you like the mud.:devil: Unfortunately my Monte Carlo doesn't do as well as you in the slop.:eek2:

[cdalejef]

Just put on some Super Swampers and you'll be good to go. ;)

[300exOH]

LMAO. I guess I'll just have to find someone kind enough to pull us out of there. You never know when it'll rain in Ohio.

Nathan, I got Fri and Sat off so we are good to go, I'll be there all day.

And I'm sure Rico will help him out he's not making good enough progress. :devil: :eek2:

Scott I bet what you said is higher than what I said!!!!!! I am planing on droping off the trailer and then getting the heck outa dare. that way you will not have to save as many spots! i will show back up late evening problly.

[lt250r91]

For me the real question is which quad?
Honda
Cannondale
LastLast
:D

Still an easy answer.

LastLast doesn't have a gas tank (being replaced for free0
Cannondale is in pieces (maybe back together Thursday night)
Honda new and shiny and ready to go (hopefully the front bumper shows up in time).


One more thing guys, remember weather racer production does it or not. This race is in memory of a District 11 and GNCC pro rider Joey Kish. Who had the race of his life last year with his one and only podium finish that he was not allowed to enjoy do to not being a pro rider at the time. So lets all take a little time this weekend to say a little pray for him on the start line before we race just to let him know he will not be forgotten.

See you all at the race

Tom B

[humboldt hills]

Jay

[PF300ex]

[Prairiewrench]

I will be there along with Bob Fleege, we're bringing a couple of the guys from the FD Racing team along. One to run in the utility mod class and one on his yfz 450, not sure what class he plans to run in yet. This is the last race Tommy gets on my FST Prairie,,, after the race it comes home with me for a more relaxed life of sitting in the shop under a cover! LOL!!!!;)
You can't miss our trailer, it has 2 huge 12 Hours of ATV America on the sides!!!! If you have any questions about the 12 hour race you can stop by and talk with Bob or I!!!

[Wizard Racing]

All this talk about dust and mud. What is the track like, flat, hills,
ruts, fast, slow, etc. What can we expect ?

[Pappy]

i thought it was a cool track, except when i raced it the dust was too bad :( last year the mud took over:p

the course wasnt that hard as i remeber it, the conditions were the real test!

[cdalejef]

Just a normal tack with easy MX track thrown in. Some hills but nothing major. That is unless it rains :macho

it's not all that hilly
it's not all that rock
it's not all that open
it's not all that tight
it doesn't get that rutted.
has a really good MX track

pretty fun track not hard at all.

limited parking

[Karizz]

I'm getting Excited ...looking forward to this race!

[coorsinmyc-bak]

raining here today,15 miles north of track.not bad rain,hopefully enough to keep the dust down.

no rain dance at this race:mad: maybe a small shower dance or something:p

[cdalejef]

some people kick me for thinking this BUT I did think the track held up extremely well last year even with all the rain. the darn tree branches that were covered in mud were not fun hanging in yout face. and the fact that it continued to rain during the race provided a mud mist coming off your tires. But the track didn't rut out too ungodly impassable!!!!

I don't care if it rains or not I am just ready to race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[PF300ex]

I have raced a few haresrambles this year and would like a class that my 300ex would do okay in.

[cdalejef]

it will be ok in most classes, I say first year racer, one of the C classes or if your really good then the Sport class.

[Lil - Braff]

Me and Dad will be there. Also bringing a few of my friends along. Jeff start dancing b/c I want it to pour!!!

PF300ex did you come down and race one of the SOCCS races like you were talking about? if so how did you do?

[brian-250]

Man I felt for you atv riders last year. I had a spot on the corner of the track to spectate. Right after you came out on the track you made a hard left before the fence. On the first lap it seemed like 50% of you ended up in the fence. It was raining cows and horses your entire race. A big thumbs up to anyone who finished that race.
As for the ruts, they showed on sunday something fierce. To this day I have never ridden a course that had ruts that deep. Some spots you could see where the footpegs made there groove 1-2 feet below the surface. But the worse part was the mud was getting Tacky so when you put your feet out to get through the ruts they picked up all the mud you could imagine. It was like ridding with concrete blocks strapped to your feet. It was my first time placing at a GNCC so I loved it. I am not that fast but I was not giving up like everyone else. It paid off.
A couple guys from the club let some atv guys beside us talk them out of racing that day. They still regret it.
Thats my first Penton story and because of the extreme conditions i will never forget it.

[cdalejef]

That was one of my top 5 favorite races of all times!
Jay, if you think those ruts were bad......go race the Moose Run in IL next year. It took me 5 hours to complete 3 9 mile laps! Remind me next time not to take an XR400 :eek2:

Yeah I was there at humbolt hills on june 6th. I ended up crashing on my third lap and had to quit after that but it was a fun course to run.

[atvchik]

What's the diff between First year racer and First year racer 2?
Is that just because there are so many of them they have two rows?

[FORDMOTO]

Will be there pitting for my Quad riders and then for the Mini and Bike races as well. Have not missed a NHS or GNCC at this track since 1990 (wife and I went there for our honeymoon for NHS in November of that year) Jeff and Howard do a great job and maybe the weather will cooperate. Really have a good safe MX track there that will surely be part of the loop. My wife Becky will be out in the woods radioing to me so give her a shout as you fly by (her cast will be off Friday so she can cheer as usual)

[rowlrag]

I hope mother nature gets PISZED OFF:cuss:

She's that crazy lady always covered in mud directing everyone around bottle necks,mud holes... hooting and hollaring pointing out kickers etc.

She has saved me at least twice and please tell her THANK YOU.

[Smokey]

PAPPY WILL YOU SAVE ME A PLACE TO PARK

[Admin]

Cool, Ralph13 will be making the trip! Sorry, I couldn't talk last nite, I had to get my frame welded back together for the race. This will be the last race for this quad, and I am building two new ones for the last couple of races since I won't have time to be fixing things between races with the baby just being born in the Fall.

[Foxrage]

Anyone know what time i should get there in the morning? I want to be there before everyone goes to the gates. Thanks

[Admin]

Most AM races start lining up at 9:30AM and the PM race begins around 1PM
