[spincr4hire]

Rico, you da man, that was some rough stuff

[Arctic Cat Dad]

Thanks for the great coverage! Way to go Harlen! Good job! Way to go Borich and Jenks. I would have liked to seen Jenks win on his home track,but 3rd is awesome. To finish up front at Summersville is good it is rock heaven there.

I didn't think it was too bad. I felt great thru the entire race and can't wait to go back and get the #1 plaque.

I blew out my steering stabilizer on the first lap which sucked since I'm used to riding with one. Now I feel the pain of the stock class.

What happened to you???

stabilizer shot, stem/stem bushings shot, & something else going on with the front end...I was fighting it in every turn.

[DaveSP]

Yokley Finished 16th.

Matt Smiley and William Yokley were hung up on the hillclimb in the 1st lap, and then William buried his Z in the mud on the 2nd Lap which took several minutes to get out, so he headed into the pits the next lap to make some suspension adjustments and used the remaining two laps for testing purposes for the Wisp.

[Predator38]

what happened to Smiley then...he was 4th on the third lap wasnt he????? Thanx for the info and great coverage.....:)

[Klotz Director]

I spoke to Brandon Ballance, who had been battling for fourth with Smiley all of the race. He said Smiley got in a bad wreck towards the end that allowed Brandon to take the fourth position for good. Still, awesome race for both riders.

home:(

my health problems have been keeping close to the homestead so we planned a birthday party for cody saturday. i could have attended if i wanted but truthfully if i spend 1 day being active it takes 4 to get back on my feet. i geuss soon ill be seeing doctor:p

i wish i could have been there. i ride harlen so hard then i go and miss an excellent finish:( anyone have audio of him calling me a pudpuller on the poduim:o

congrats again to everyone no matter how ya finished. that area can be brutal on man and machine:)

[brndnbllnc]

Once Smiley and I got going after our not so good 1st lap start, we had our own battle that started around lap 3. He and I swapped from 4th to 5th for about two laps with Rice coming into have some fun of his own, passing me by taking a better line in the woods. I regained the 5th place position over Rice in an open field during the 3rd lap and caught Smiley while he was pitting for fuel. Had a great race going until he found himself going over the bars after hitting one of the drainage dips on a very fast section of the track. I was close enough behind that I could not stop in time. Luckily he fell to the left rolling and his quad to the right flipping over and over. I made sure to miss Smiley on the ground, but while his quad was on its way back down from flipping into the air, one of the tires struck me across my right shoulder nearly knocking me from my Yamaha. I hung on with one hand, pulling myself back onto the seat and stopped to check on him. He gave a thumbs up letting me know he was ok, so I caught my breath and took off. Finished 4th, about 1 min. 20 sec. behind Jenks.
Nikki, find a way to change your "user name"! Email Harlen...he can do it. Sorry guys. She can be a bit untamable @ times. :D See everyone @ Maryland. Thanks.

[jdwxv3]

I like it when the pros get on here and talk about there race! Awesome!! Brandon you need to try to get more pros on these forums!! Congrats on the finish, Keep it up!

[Admin]

Great to hear from you Brandon, it was awesome watching you and Matt battle out there while I chased you too around the track, and I could tell that Matt was really hurting from his hard dismount when he headed back into the pits.

I know exactly where Matt wrecked because Stephanie Parton almost bit it in the same spot and I was only a few feet behind her and had to lock it up to avoid colliding with her which almost caused me to wreck as I nosed dived into the ditch.

I thought it was an awesome track, and I can't wait till the WISP
:macho because these tracks are technical, rocky, and fast which is right up my alley.

All this talk of Stabilizers??? What are they for anyway, but added weight:eek: lol

Great Race, Rico:D Its about time you put that Lonestar axle to the test

did the 3 hidden stabilizers get the job done on the stock quad:confused:D

what about the 673 super gorilla engine:confused:

you have my respect...anyone who can do that well on a stock pos suki might do ok on a real race quad:eek: :blah:

[Klotz Director]

Why did half my riders almost get taken out this weekend! You guys (and gal) really know how to give a sponsor a heart-attack! Everyone had an outstanding race and we couldn't be prouder.
Be sure to purchase your 2006 Bill Ballance edition YFZ450. It's the one with the Klotz logo underneath the big number 1!

LMFAO

It's at home in the garage with riding gear hanging off of it... I"m running the stocker now....:mad:

Not having a stabilizer after your use to having one for 4 years, sucks getting used to.

Great race Harlen, now that I don't have a stabilizer on my quad it qualifies for the stock class I think... Watch out I"m coming for ya....:eek:

[gump]

good job rico, and harlen !!!!

A step in the right direction, but the 416 kit, exhaust, and Elka Linkage would be against the rules, but it would be great to see how you would fair in the class.

Maybe, Laz, could buy a new quad for you to race in the Stock class at the Wisp and have a site showdown(Twin) :macho

[Jamie@Cardiostack]

That sounds like fun, i would love to see Rico come and run with the stock class! Nice Race Harlan, it was good to ride with you for a while!

I saw you there rico and harlen, I was the kid working with Hiper next to the Maxxis truck, hopefully we got all of your hipers fixed and ready to go, anyone who didnt just give them a call :macho congrats to both of you

Thanks for the compliment, and Yes it would be fun. I had the chance to race with Jamie Bougher for a little bit this weekend which was fun.

Of course, Fly Gear, but the color doesn't need to match:D

Nikkiann..glad to have you on the site and in brandons corner. i just watched the GNCC coverage on OLN (Lorettas) and saw Brandon state he needed to prove himself and make his own name. Brandon, you have a ton of fans and you will get to where you want to be. Dont sweat nothing and be your own rider:macho :D (kicking bill in the shins before the race isnt an option:devil: )

Tell Jenny that I will be sending her my contract ripped into tiny little pieces unless she amends that statement to be "Brandon is hot, but not as hot as Johnny" :macho

:blah:

[jdwxv3]

I like your new signature Jonny G. I have one bugging me right now about my 450R shock price. By the way I sold them for $10 less than that price.

Anyway back the the thread! :D

You'll have to answer to me about the contract, but I'm sure everyone here agrees there's Brandon hot...and then there's Johnny Hot! Burn it up, baby!
