i was behind #13 on the 1st turn off the line and through the mx track then 2 passed me in a feild and bout 5 minutes later in the chase my clutch cable broke and i was screwd~ i was a real treat to ride home with after that~lol

[parkers30]

so it was the clutch cable for sure? that sucks

[XCRACER26]

I took the holeshot then not even a quarter of the way through the first set of woods i bent a tie rod and was struggling to keep it between the trees. then i fixed it. but on the 2nd lap bent it even worse and blew the tire off the beed. the worst race of my life that i completed, and i was shooting to catch the pros like i did in waukon.

At least you didn't break your frame in three spots 60 seconds into the race. After going through the scoring tent I pushed it to hard through the corner and with all the dust, I meet the fence post. Fence post won.

Jake you racing this weekend in Morrison?

[XCRACER26]

no im going to save my quad for oklahoma. are you going to get your frame fixed. what did you do anyways? did you fall off the bridge.

I'll be getting a new frame....that the nice part about owning a cannondale. People are always parting them out, so parts are relatively cheap.

The Oklahoma race isn't until the 19th, you can fix whatever you break by then.

jaywoodsrider you going to be there tomorrow?

[XCRACER26]

Try to tell my dad that oh well. I think i have proved how competitive i can be with the pros. I hope for a top 5 finsh next year. plus if i break my leg that wont heal, it could happen, me and this other guy are tied for first and i need too finish in front of him at oklahoma.

[jaywoodsrider]

Hey Gus, nice racing up in Morrison, good one for the last race of the season. Probably see ya at the banquet, if i'm not in canada.

I'll see you on the 10th at the banquet.

It was a fun last race. I was on Larry's butt after the 2nd lap, just no good spots to pass. I had to wait for him to make a mistake and it finally happened on the last lap.

Jake should be at the banquet, too.

BTW, Jake, you should do fine in the pro class next year.

[XCRACER26]

thanx. tinsley said he thought i was fast. that made me feel good inside. And curt demay is going too bike next year, cant belive it.

[dirtriderex]

whats going on here, Pat Lunde(sp?) said he may switch to bikes too:eek:

[mbiigambler]

I didn't hear Lunde was switching to bike, but it wouldn't surprise me. Did you hear he put his quad in the creek at the race?

Also Ryan Smith (the other Ryan Smith) mentioned he may ride bikes next year too.

[XCRACER26]

this is a bunch of crap. i was hoping to race these guys next year. I have heard demay say it was too expensive too race quad. They need to start riding honda then because i havent hardly spent any money on my quad except for gas. the entry fees are going to be the same mabey even more.:confused: :mad:

[dirtriderex]

Yeah, we can't afford to loose quad racers. Turnout is low compared to bikes

[RobZ_450R]

I am trying to persuade Lunde to stay in the quads. Notice that the guys with Yamahas are wanting to switch. Maybe they will have more fun if they race a Honda - he he. I will let you guys know that I will still be there next year. I am saying goodbye to the GNCCs.

You guys are right, we do need more quad riders to build up the numbers. So, I say to just persuade all of your friends to race the OMA. We may have more next year since there has been some magazine coverage.

Good luck to all at OK. I would go but I don't want to drive the 17hours one way & spend a buttload of cash on gas.

Later

[XCRACER26]

Hey rob how did you do in the 12 hours of america? did you say your quiting the GNCCs. why? from what I saw in the results you were in the top 15 a couple of times. I'm temped to start racing the gnccs.

[XCRACER26]

Yeah Zim, let us know how you did overall?


Jake the banquet is the 12/10/05 or 12/11/05...whichever of those dates is a Sunday. The banquet is in Fulton, IL at the bowling alley. There is suppose to be riding at the bike barn before the dinner. Dinner starts around 4:00 I believe.

[XCRACER26]

Thanks. My dad knew before I did this isn't right. but Zim what team were you on during the 12 hours?

[RobZ_450R]

You are correct. I am going to stop running the full GNCC series. I will run the close ones to home though. There are multiple reasons:
1. Too many people racing - lappers don't respect the faster riders & let them pass.
2. I am getting burnt out from driving FL, GA, SC, NC(2), NY. I would rather ride than drive.
3. If you don't have your crap ready at sign up you get yelled at.
4. Too many people = greater chance for more morons causing bottlenecks.
5. I want to do more rec riding.
6. Getting married on May 6th (preparation & long honeymoon:D)
7. I would have stopped racing altoghether if it wasn't for my bad a** sponsors helping me out.

Details on Banquet From Darcy:

Dec 10... Banquet Hall....Fulton, IL
Playdate 'til 3 pm... banquet hall opens @ 4.. banquet begins @ 5pm

12 Hours:
I raced with Todd Krupinski & Eric Lemley(Owner of Hillbilly Racing). Our team name was the Red Racers in the Industry Class. We finished 1st in class (Lapped 2nd place 8 times) & 7th overall. I think we should have ran pro & collected some cash since only 4 pro teams beat us & 2 A teams. The guys I ran with were right about the same speed as me - I did collect the fastest lap time of our team though.

[XCRACER26]

hey do what you want, just ride. how is the "OK" track. what is it like?
