If I get the Indianola mud washed of my no-start Warrior and get it fixed so it starts then I'll go to Iowa.......... nobody really laughs out loud when I ride so I'll keep trying to show up. :)

I'm not at home (St Charles, MO) but if I was I would say Finger Lakes. Been a few years since I was there.

Lorreta's is the biggest race of the year shouldn't be a hard decision. Still trying to put my body back together from South Carolina. Doc says I shouldn't be walking around but walkin and racin are to different things.

Alright thanks for the heads up on the tires. I am going to race C 22-28yrs old. I want to race in the morning so I can watch the pros duke it out! A copule people say C is slow but with the way I have rode the last two races on my 450R I need all the help I can get. I am just flat out gettin pancaked lately. I dont know if it is the stock suspension or my obesity:D that has made me so slow. I tell you what that YFZ with Axis on it is hard to beat. I like the Honda's reliablity but dang I am slow on it! Later Shep good to hear from you again!!! See Ya, Josh

I'll do my best to get a lot of pictures. I was just wondering what size to set the camera on so they will fit on here. I can resize them latter, but think it would be easier to just take them at a smaller size. Either way i will get them posted on here.

Don't go below 1024x768....Buy more memory sticks/cards..they are cheap..I can get over 150 high quality pictures on a 256mb memory card doing 1280x1024. I have extra memory cards too.

You can never take enough pictures/videos.

I just checked the forecast for the races. You poor guys going to Columbia, MO better bring your mud and rain gear. It's gonna rain until about 2 in the morning. Tow ropes and shovels would be recommended. Iowa is supposed to get some rain off and on hopefully not too much. And Loretta is right in the line of really strong storms tonite. Tie yourself and your quads down.

Let's go racing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're staying at the Days Inn we should be there around 9 but will probably stop at the track first and drop off the trailer. Johnny is down pcing right now so we'll be sure and bring the bike frame.

I went by the track today. It will be muddy. It had a lot of standing water from what I could see from the road. I live about 13 mile from the track pretty much stopped rain here. Probaly about 1/4 to1/2 in. of rain. It will be slick. They will not cancul. If they do it will be because the creeks are out of banks which it doesn't look it now.

Just got back. Race was fun to watch, but would have been better racing. I hate watching other people have all the fun. Well I have about 55 random pictures from the race, I will be posting them on here sometime in the next few days.


5 more weeks! the doc says

It all depends on the promoter on the work average. I think that all that you have to do is work the day of the race to get a work average. It is a big can of worms on what is a work average.

Considering what the area looked like a week or two ago they did a fantastic job preparing the course. Unfortunately if you were unware of what conditions were like before unleashing the dozier it is hard to appreciate the work that was done !! What a great race I consider Finger Lakes to be my backyard and it totally exceded any expectations I had for the race. The only problems I saw which are difficult to control in such a highly used area are the number of people using alternate routes off course. If you are running down pavement and everyone else is in the mud it seems to me you were off course!!!
