DuQuoin Arenacross

[300ex_#387]

Just wondered if anyone was going to be racing or watching at DuQuoin on the 25th.

Ya, Ill be the one spoon-feeding you the dirt

[300ex_#387]

Hah, we will see about that one....Tony said it is gonna be a big turnout for this race.

[SidewaysSam]

Ya, last race usually is the biggest one. Plus I believe it is a Loretta Lynn's Qualifier

[kyleschonert]

Sam, youve got it all wrong, im gonna be spoon feeding you the dirt with my 330. ;) .lol. See ya there man.

[SidewaysSam]

If I remember correct, I believe that I ate your dirt for only one lap the last time, then the rest was all about feeding it to you, big guy.:)

If you have a Benton, IL phonebook, I think they would be in it. Either Jason, Jarod, or Rick

[kyleschonert]

great job last night sam. And you sure did luck out by not getting a ticket. lol.

[froggy97]

Jeff this Paul Throgmorton i have their phone numbers i can call them for you if you need something

[SidewaysSam]

Haha thanks, you must have done pretty good too, getting a top 5 with the big dogs. I guess I had just a little too much speed left in me on the way home, but got lucky once again. I thought that the track and racers were good quality this time, even though it was about 4 hours behind schedule. And kyle, I will be in Kentucky on the weekend of the banquet, only like 20 minutes from the banquet, so i could pick up your trophy if youre not going to be there.

Hey Sam, we think my frame got bent when my shock came apart. I guess what happened is when I hit that step up it must have come apart then, and then I hit the step down with no shock at all thats why it put a couple good dents in my swingarm, and my frame is a little crooked too. Sucks I was running right behind you too.

[SidewaysSam]

We got it all on tape...It looked like it started going down after the triple type jump on the stand side. Then when you did the step up it was all the way down and you went ahead and hit the step down, looks pertty funny, but looked like it hurt. Then in the background you limped on around to the pits. I think you were in 5th and hadnt even completed half a lap yet. Hope the frame isnt too bad, I cant believe that it held off all night and decided to go during the finals, what a bummer.
Ill bring the tape to you sometime to get it copied.

[300ex_#387]

I took another good look at it, and my airbox has a few good chunks missing. I'm gonna talk to Nick Kochers dad about making me an aluminum one so I can put my battery in there too. On the swingarm the tabs where the shock mounts to the bottom are completely flat from the spring hitting them. I will be ready for the first booneville race though.

[300ex_#387]

Frame isnt bent. I took my seat and airbox off and when my swingarm hit my airbox it made the airbox move the right side of my seat up a little and it made it look like it was bent.

[SidewaysSam]

we walked the track during another long red flag after you left, I wondered what all those little black plastic pieces were doing over by the step up step down... but we didnt find any shock parts. Did you get them all?

[300ex_#387]

Nope Im missing the rubber bushing, and the little plate that the spring goes on that connects to the bottom mount. Im sure I can get that ordered or get one of another shock though.
