good pics J, kinda makes me glad I stayed home.

cold

[NEPA250R]

good pics, I think I was last off the starting line, but I ended up finishing 6th in Open B. I imagine the conditions will be similar for the next race.

[pead_24]

I ran 2 laps and had to quit because of the mud in my eyes, i could not even see. after the race me and my friend had to go to the ER to get our eyes flushed out. and we both have scratches in them.

[rap169]

ya muddy it was. I used 8 tear offs within 10 min. And dodnt finish becaue of a wreck i had with a tree.

[Derno24]

Jay sorry I didn't realize where you were going in the beginning of the race. Nice pics. By the way that Dale is the one Randy, Chad, and I are piloting at the GA 6hr event! Can you say 469cc Dale!

Anyone know which riders went off in the ambulance? There was 3 or 4 guys with eyes that were bleeding from getting mud in them and then rubbing them. :eek2:

OUCH:eek:

[blastinroost]

that was a pretty nasty dutchmen race but then again it's almost always a mudhole:macho

[03suzrider]

i race C-class had a really bad holeshot but i finished 1st and i even snapped my chain on the last lap...woot woot

pead how are your eyes coming along? :eek2:

i still got the patch on mine

[m250r]

they reallly need to do something with that track..for having three D6 races there...it shouldnt be a mudhole everytime you race there. i think i've been there three times and its been muddy every time. If it rains hard the day before the April 2nd race i dont even know if im going to go

[ex kid]

it's called a harescramble, not a cake walk.

That was from the crash, I dont think anyone went off in the ambulance from mud, imo I dont think the mud is a problem as long as u keep em closed hitting the bigger puddles and muddy sections.

[ex kid]

from what i hear, they have always been that way and not going to change. you can't really go dry the track out anyway?

[NEPA250R]

I think I'd rather race at the Dutchmen when it's muddy rather then when it's dusty anyway. One of the only dry races there last year was like racing in a sandstorm.
