ok....^ that part confused me:p

[bradley300]

i'd be up for it, anybody want a partner?

[dopeyferree]

Two riders per team; riders ride their own machines.

So you can have 2 machines for the race, is that correct?

[Shawn H]

Any contingincey's for the non Pro classes?

Just a plaque?

[komatsu kid]

oh no what are you thinking snowgasm?ROAD TRIP

[Shawn H]

Was thinking about it.

Brandon and I were maybe going to team up (Gt Thunder) but if its only for a trophy I can't justify coming from Wi for a
trophy>

No disrespect to the series or anything Just along way to go:(

[quadnice]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Remember what happened to us the last time we raced NC???:chinese:

Would be fun, I'd like to go to help drive (The truck) & pit for you guys!

[gump]

come on down.. this is one of our best tracks, and we get to tear it up before the bikes do... good time to go south for part of the winter..

[Bonnie Cook]

Okay - replies are coming!!!

~Each rider can race ONE machine. If one of the rider's machine tears up, then both riders can share machines. Each rider cannot have more than one quad.

~Pro and A Class pays $
Everyone else, both riders get a plaque and the rights to prove themselves again in February at the second 6 hour race.

Anything else you wanna ask boys????
Come on down to the dirty south!!!

[yamadooski]

Whats the weather like that time of the year?
Should I bring a snowmobile just in case it snows?

[Bonnie Cook]

Weather here now is 75 degrees!!!
But in early December - there is NO TELLING about NC weather!
NO SNOWMOBILES though.

Santo remembers what it is like to race at the Rockhouse in the snow though from an Interstate race in the Past!!!

THIS JUST IN....5:05PM 12/11/04 The team of Borich & Smiley have just WON the N.C. 6 hour race! Chris Borich still recovering from a broken collar bone rode his Honda 450r and Matt Smiley rode a Polaris Predator. I believe the Houston team got second...not sure on the rest of results,but I will post any if i get em. !

[Admin]

Mike Houston and Santo Derisi were running 2nd all day less than 30 seconds behind the leader, but a broken balljoint sent them back to finish 4th Place is what I heard.

It was an impressive turnout with 27 teams:eek:

[gump]

what a day !!! nasty and rough.. got towed in twice and still won our class, no body needs to mention only 2 in our class.. smiley and borich are wicked, santo and houston were giving em all they wanted till the ball joint issue... pics later i'm tired !!!!
