Memorial Weekend at Breezwood PICS PICS & Pics!!!

[Pappy]

What can I say, another insane weekend at www.breezewoodprovinggrounds.com !


Dan had the youth track hooked up....and Cody took advantage of the longer track and wasted no time in getting himself ready for monday race!

[Pappy]

wvspeedfreaks's son, Austin, was ripping it up on his Kasea

[Pappy]

The boy flat tore that track apart....and his quad:eek2:

Without washing it, I know a list of things that are broken.

1...every motormount

2...every fender mount

3...an airfilter full of water ...not sure if it hurt the engine, but it kept him from competeing in the second moto of the Open 125cc Pitbike MONEY CLASS:huh

[Pappy]

Ive got tons of pictures....


from saturdays riding, to the unbelievable show Tom Fink and Randy Lehr put on!!

And todays kickazz pitbike race....including Cody throwing the smack down on the Open class:devil:

[Pappy]

Today pitbike race went extremely well. A ton of riders showed up, and track owner Dan did everything he could to give them an event and track to want to return to.

There was not many mini quads, so Dan asked the Money class if they minded a kid racing with them on a quad...


Well, I think his exact words were..."I have a kid on a 90cc quad that is pretty sure he can whoop you all, do you mind if he races the money class":p

A lot of smirks and smiles happened when everyone chuckled and said sure...we will take the kids money:chinese:

I dont think they were smiling when he was battling them thru turn 1 for the lead:eek:

[quads14589]

hahah nice did cody win?

[Pappy]

Cody dove to the inside and was actual a wheel ahead and battling for the holeshot, but the pitbikes out accelerated him and he went into turn 2 in 3rd

[Pappy]

Cody was pushing hard...he wanted to be out front and was hanging right with the top 2 riders.

[Pappy]

The fans were pretty much SCREAMING at Cody when they saw this kid out there hanging with some damn good pitbike riders. Some of the teams there travel the country racing and believe me,...EVERYONE knew that this was a full blown knock down race unfolding before them

[Pappy]

Cody was blazing the corners and making time, and as the top 2 started fighting for position, Cody knew it was time to pressure them

[Pappy]

When a double or larger jump was there, Cody would sail them and in every turn he was gaining on them

[Pappy]

For 2 or 3 laps, they remained almost exactly in order, and they started checking out on the rest of the field

[Pappy]

The back sweeper would allow the faster bikes to pull, but Cody would hammer that much harder out jumping and out braking them to keep them in check!

[Pappy]

The bike riders were running hard, and started making small mistakes, and Cody knew it:devil:

[05_KFX]

lookin good Kenny hope to get out there with you guys soon and take a few laps

[Pappy]

A bobble on a double as the leaders made wheel contact was what cody needed to get in the hunt for the lead

pappy...my wife is impressed with cody...all she could say was wow!!! she wanted to know cody's age?

[Pappy]

After I snapped that last picture, Cody was on the leaders like white on rice. He was charging inside in every turn and even made a banzia attempt to pass over a table, with him and the bike riders wheel to wheel in the air!!!!!

A last stab at 2nd place had him and the #2 rider racing out of a corner but even though the charge was hard, the faster bike won the day and Cody would have to settle for 3rd place.

It was an awesome sight to watch this race, after the first lap there were cheers and screaming from everyone as this race was the absolute best one of the day!!

Thanks to all the bike riders who allowed Cody to jump in and race with you guys, and thank you even more for the great words you had to say about him and his riding!

[Pappy]

Cody is 12


They did have 2 other quads for a 90cc race, inwhich cody laid out an awesome run, hamming it up with look backs and some tricks over the big finish line tabletop. When he took the checkers for that moto, he pulled a killer arm pump that was caught on video and I will try and get it posted.

[miller821]

Thats sick:cool: Looks like he can really turn up the heat on the riders.

[Pappy]

A few riders went down hard, but thankfully noone was seriously injured

[Pappy]

Moto 2 wasnt nearly as good for anyone as the 1st


Before lining up, the bike riders chatted with Cody and checked out his pitbike with training wheels:p

[Pappy]

Bad starts had the class make 3 attempts at getting this moto underway.

Cody would battle them in the first turn and 2 of the 3 times came out with a bike tied for the holeshot

[Pappy]

This was expiernce that he needs...i did not care how he finished, but the chance to race with people as fast as he is was awesome.

[Pappy]

Our luck ran out after the 3rd lap on moto 2. We had our fingers crossed his quad would stay together but it didnt.

He was only able to do 2 laps for moto 2 before a chain took him out of the race.

I snapped this as the rider laid her down coming through a sweeper

[Pappy]

I will come back to more pitbike action later, I really want to get these shots of saturdays excitement up.


Randy Lehr.....having a chat with a bike rider over the 80 footer:huh

[Pappy]

Randy and tom Fink showed up saturday, with a group of riders also coming in with Fink. It was a blast watching these guys rip it up

[Pappy]

Well over 100 riders were there on Sunday, and the place was packed with good riding everywhere you looked

[Pappy]

Fink is a good hearted feller....always smiling and always hauling ***:p

[Pappy]

I love getting shots of riders with style, and Tom doesnt disappoint

[Pappy]

After getting used to the layout, the boys turned it up a notch

(Getting used to meant 1 lap):p

[Pappy]

Tom...send me your address again and I will mail out a cd of your pics

[Pappy]

I dont think i will ever grow tired of taking pictures of MX

[Pappy]

Fink working the bugs out

[Pappy]

Lehr....getting ready to drop the hammer some good old fashion play racin'

[Pappy]

Tom letting her rip through a corner

[Pappy]

When Lehr caught Fink....it was on!

[Pappy]

After a lap or two of them two going at it, just about everyone cleared the track and pulled over to watch

[Pappy]

Lehrs corner speed is insane. I actually have trouble getting good clear shots of this guy:D

[Pappy]

Cody watched every lap of those riders, and looks up to them like mentors.


Ofcourse he would rather spank them ...but I dont think Fink or Lehr would fit too good on a 90 anymore:D

[redracing88]

i wanna see some of mxjunkie!!

[quads14589]

yaaaaa!!:p

[Pappy]

Breezewoods owner, Dan Harris, climbed off the water truck and geared up to see how fast these young bucks are.

[Pappy]

Dan rode hard, but the power of the 450's and the skill of those boys were more then Dan could match on this day. No matter....seeing an owner of a place like this get out there and be active in our sport is incredible.

Hats off to ya Dan...you are running a kickazz'd track!

[Pappy]

I only got 1 pic of Josh.

I had to run a swing arm home and weld it up and missed most of the day's riding when he was there

[Pappy]

I did manage to get a shot of Shala kicking rocks on Codys quad:eek:

Seems these two have a little grudge match on the track:D

[Pappy]

And my brother found out how hard you have to ride to stay infront of Fink (even though Tom was not pushing him too hard:devil: )

Tom...you actually scared him enough that he cleared the 90 footer....it only took your bumper on his exhaust to get him to do it:devil:

[Pappy]

And I am pretty sure this was one of those....."Becareful or I will break my foot off in your rear end" speeches :cool: :blah:

[Pappy]

I have a crud load more pics....


but it is my turn in the shower and I am taking it:p

[Pappy]

Do you think he takes this serious enough:p

[outacontrol]

cant wait to see more, i was there all day sunday and loved it! thanks for snappin photos for us!

[JRP]

awsome pics pappy, it sucks i missed you up there. We got there at 10 on saturday morning and we left at 5. I was hoping you would of been there sometime before we left but i guess not. I had an awsome time and we are planning another trip up there for the weekend sometime soon. My dad enjoyed it and i loved it. Great facility and dan did a great job on watering the track and preparing everything out for us. Heres my fav pic of me my dad took.

[Pappy]

Sorry I missed ya JRP, I saw you as we pulled in, but by the time i had the family and hauler squared away you were rolling out.


Gncc Stock class rider Shawn was up and had a great time

[Pappy]

I saw several quads I knew from the site, but did not have the time to catch everyone:(

[redracing88]

i gotta ask how was your shower pappy?

[Pappy]

Randy was only able to get 5 or 6 laps in before his swing arm finally busted. Im not sure how much time he has on it....way more then enough thats for sure:p Luckily, I took it home and welded her up and he was back to flyin high in no time

[Pappy]

there wasnt much hot water left:grr:

[Pappy]

randy and Hondaracer31

[Pappy]

I bet if Randy did 1 lap...then he did atleast 80 without hardly a break in the afternoon.

[Pappy]

I wish he could catch a break or two....

he has what it takes to run in the GNC Pro class, infact he beat Dunk and Brown a few weeks back at Sleepy Hollow.

[Pappy]

I wish I could have snapped more pics saturday giys...I am sorry

[Pappy]

One of the riders who came with Fink had quad issues:( It was good to see him smiling....most folks would have been mad but he was cool.

[Pappy]

I sure know I am sunburnt:p It was HOT!

[Pappy]

I went and found some shade as Lehr and Fink continued to rip it up

[Pappy]

When I am at this spot, I use a tree between me and the riders....


good thing too, as this banshee rider bobbled the landing and sailed off track heading for the tree's!!!!

[Pappy]

The dust cleared quickly revealing a problem:eek:

[Pappy]

I snapped one more picture before Pappy power lifted that big dude and his quad off his leg:D

Thankfully he was fine

OMG!!

that looks like it hurt a bit :eek2:

[Pappy]

I had suggested a few changes to Dan a few weeks ago regarding the youth track, and he jumped right in and made this one killer track for the kids.

He would love to have more youth quads out there on Fathers Day for the night race!

[Pappy]

The Fathers day race will be another pitbike race, and mini quads will be allowed again. The track is awesome, doubles, tables berms ....but forgiving for even the youngest riders.

Austin was clearing almost everything!

[Pappy]

Austin clearing one of the new table tops

[Pappy]

Cody wants to know why there are not more youth quads out here racing....he thinks maybe your scared:devil: :blah:

[Pappy]

Sunday evening, alot of the riders had settled down and the fast guys were about ready to hit the track for an all out battle:chinese:

[Pappy]

Lehr and Fink are friends....and I knew this would be a clean kickazz play race that was sure to get everyone in the stands to watch

[Pappy]

Lehr was on the upper track when Fink came out

[Pappy]

Tom had followed Randy earlier in the day and had picked up a few of Randys tricks to get around this track

[Pappy]

I could see Randy up on the other track as Tom had put in about 3 laps. He came down and had no sooner taken his helmet off noticed that Tom was flat pounding the track....


The helmet was back on and he pulled down to wait for Tom

[Pappy]

People started running to the grandstands to get a birdseye view of these two competitors tear Breezewood a new one:D

[Pappy]

Fink was faster this time out, but Lehr will not give up and this turned into one heck of a race!

[Pappy]

Lap after lap, Lehr would check Fink and Fink would block or pull out infront of Lehr

[Pappy]

Over every jump, through each turn....it was a battle

[Pappy]

I looked up in the stands at Randys dad...he just smiled and winked:devil:

[Pappy]

Randy made a charge but couldnt make it stick

[Pappy]

It started getting intense to say the least

[Pappy]

Fink and Lehr charged to the 65 footer and Fink looked back to check Lehr....but Randy wasnt there:eek:

[JRP]

Originally posted by Pappy

damn that is a sick picture. the battle looks intense. man i wish i could of stayed for sunday to rip it up with those guys

[Pappy]

Randy had taken the smaller table that is an option at this track, thereby setting him up to get a better run at the corner, which he did taking the lead over Tom!

[Pappy]

The next few laps Tom was on Randys grab bar, then I think Tom had had enough. I have no idea how Lehr rode as much and as fast as he did there. he went on to do 5 or 6 more laps alone before calling it a day.

Randy and Tom...thanks for the oppertunity to watch you guys kick it!

[Pappy]

I think this is "outtacontrol" here on the site. He can atest to the onslaught these guys laid down

[Pappy]

I actually used Randy as a teaser when Cody was hurting today. Cody's hands were covered in blisters from 3 days of hard riding, and he was almost in tears gearing up for the first moto today. I asked him if Randy would quit.....he slid his gloves on without a further word:cool:

[Pappy]

I hope you all decide to make Breezewood a regular stop on your ride schedule, I know Dan and everyone else enjoyed you all being there!

[Pappy]

And it made my day to have such great talent to grab pics of

[450robot]

hahaha, i need to convince my lil' sis to start riding quads!

i missed out this weekend because we had to go see her dance recidal (which i dont mind at all)

but i think it would be cool if she were ripping up the track, and not the dance floor for once haha

[Mxjunkie]

Just wanted to thank you and your brother for helping me with my lil chain mishap!

And for spoiling me by letting me ride the yfz.. I know see the light lol.. :o

Cant wait for the next ride. I think I'll have a more mx friendly set up this time. Maybe I'll come out and ride with the faster guys on a banchit :p

[TheFontMaster]

Awsome pics. Looks like you guys had an awsome time there. Congrats to Cody on the 3rd place in the mini bike race.

[Pappy]

Some of the pitbikes there were insane. i learned alot chatting with them

[Pappy]

The competition was tight in alot of the classes

[Pappy]

I think alot of bike guys learned a bit about how serious quads can be today;)

[Pappy]

Some of the riders really aired out them bikes

[outacontrol]

i can defintly attest to the speed of randy and tom, i now know what the lappers feel like when ricky and bubba blow past them. i swear randy never let off the throttle around that track. his corner speed was unreal! sure made it fun to watch. Great photos!

[Pappy]

My youngest son Ryan did good, he was the only one in his class to not drop his bike:p

[Pappy]

I think alot of the people there had never seen a mini quad like codys...or one riden like he rides:D

[Pappy]

i do know alot of the bike riders came over and shook his hand after the first moto...they couldnt believe it:p

[Pappy]

Id love to see an even bigger turn out for the Fathers Day race. The track will be fully lighted....I may have to do codys frame in some wild colors to make it sparkle under the lights:cool:

[Pappy]

Im a bit scared thata fter that show....they wont let him back in the money race:p

[Pappy]

I do know I have to 100% disassemble it and rebuild it before then

[outacontrol]

is the guy on the site that ended up in the pond when lehr blew past him??:eek2:

[YFZ133]

Great pictures as always Kenny.We had a great time at Breezewood this weekend.I met quite a few people from the site which is always fun.Unfortunately,we had to leave before the racing was done yesterday but what I did see was awesome.I will have a few pics to post this evening hopefully.

[Pappy]

The camping areas stayed packed all weekend

[Pappy]

Amanda wanted me to climb up there to get some pic....

aint no way:p

[Pappy]

The camping areas are really shaping up and make for a nice place to get away fom the action

[Pappy]

Austin will be ripping once his dad turns him loose to do the doubles....the track is almost the perfect place to teach the young one's safley

[Pappy]

Austin was having a ton of fun clearing one of the new tables

[Pappy]

Shawn getting laps in

[Pappy]

Tom hammering the big downhill

[Pappy]

Haha! Notice the front end is down from the last ride? Dan sent me a quick e-mail telling me why I was having trouble keeping the front end down on this jump.

For those interested...basically I wasn't carrying enough speed out of the turn to clear the jump so I was still building up speed all the way to the end of the lip just so I would clear the jump..basically I was jumping under too much power. Now, I down shift to 3rd before going into the turn and carry way more speed coming out of the turn so I can just maintain speed. This then sets me up for the tabletop by the bleachers so I can easily clear it now too. Before, I was wasting time down shifting before the bleacher tabletop. Sometime I would downshift in the air before landing but too often I was too busy trying to get the front-end down to worry about downshifting. Thanks again Dan!

For those dads and moms who are only watching the kids ride, I can only encourage you to get on a bike or quad. I didn't start riding until I was 36. My only previous experience was on a Yamaha 80 enduro bike for the 3 summer months between 7th and 8th grades. I've only been riding on a track since October (spent 5 years trail riding only). Even Connie is doing great. After only several months of riding on a track, she is clearing everything on the Kid's track so we moved to the Upper Track. She is clearing several of those tabletop jumps too.

[cb450r]

Very cool pics. Pappy:D That's pretty awesome that the little man hung on with the 2 wheelers, Tough break with the chain though.
Keep it up guys!

I was in the pond Sunday afternoon but I am guessing someone else must have been too because nobody was around me when I went over the hill. I spun out on the turn near the two steel tanks. One thing about trail riding is it gives you plenty of experience for handling the terrain if you ever go off course. ;)

I stayed far out of the way of Fink and Lehr. I was hoping to see these guys busting some tricks but they were way too busy just being fast. I would love to watch Dan, Fink, and Lehr all line up on equivalent quads. I was just glad everyone recognized the show that was being put on and got off the track to watch and not create any bottlenecks.

Once again, Pappy got some great shots and did a great job capturing the excitement in each of his captions.

/Jon

[outacontrol]

yeah it was cool to watch them go at it. Randy was telling us a little while ago he beat Jason Dunkelberger at a track over in east pa. i believe it after seein him ride. last time i was at the track i liked the amatuer track, but this time i really liked the expert one, a lot more flowing and bigger jumps. That uphill section was getting brutal by sunday night with the ruts forming! When is the next big trip planned for BPG?

[Mxjunkie]

That hill was interesting on the banshee lol...

I'd go into the bowl turn 2nd or 3rd wfo then just hammer up the hill, the front end would come up and the back end would swap from side to side it was fun as hell :devil:

[mike_repine]

Just wanted to say thanks to Dan, Amanda, Mike and the rest of the Breeeewood crew for all the hard work they put in to making this weekend such a blast! The tracks were in awesome shape as usual and all of the events they hosted were great fun to watch. As for Lehr and Fink, all I can say is, MAN THOSE GUYS CAN HAUL!! Definately motivational watching them tear it up! Pappy, thanks for all the great pics. It was nice to finally meet the man behind the camera. Take care everyone...

[Pappy]

The next big event at Breezewood is during the Fathers Day weekend. The usual riding will take place, but saturday night, big stadium lights will turn the youth track into an outdoor night time pitbike race!

[Pappy]

I made another thread about a member of this site and of Breezewood who died friday getting ready to come to breezewood this weekend.

For those that knew him, his name was Jody Crum. He loved breezewood and couldnt say enough good things about the facility, the riders and ofcourse Dan and Amanda.

Keep him in your thoughts and prayers, he will be missed.

[mole97]

awesome pic's..:cool: wish I coulda been there,but I was there for the first time the previous week and like everyone knows the place definatly rocks!!! fathers day the next one and wouldn't you know it that's the weekend I rented a house in atlantic city :mad: guess I'll have to make the next one after that again. I definatly would like to ride with all you guy's as I'm on this site EVERYDAY so i feel like I kinda know everyone in a way:ermm: It took me almost 6and 1/2 hrs to get there so it's a pretty far ride to say the least. but to ride at a place like this it's worth it. just bought a new trx and I'm hoping to have er all hooked up by time i get there again. and to you quad2extreme I also didn't start riding quad's till I was 35(always had sportsbikes) and everytime i ride it takes till the next ride to get the smile off my face...cyas at breezewood :macho

[Pappy]

mole97.....

July 4th is the next big event after Fathers Day....


I think thats another reason I like breezewood. They always have something going on. Not too mention volleyball, horseshoes, good food and drinks when ya need them, showers to get the grime off, they really do go out of thier way to try and make everyone feel at home.

[mole97]

PAPPY.. great I'll be there, but does that mean that weekend,saturday,sunday,and monday? or tuesday itself also cause the 4th is tuesday? whatever and whenever I'll be there if if i have to come alone:macho

[cool 300ex]

Nice pics man! I couldn't make it out there so i went to PVR and watched.

[Yfz450dan]

Sweet pics Pappy once again! I wish i could of made this ride.:( but i will be at the next!:D

[eastside 400]

fink your crazy, (this is chris) i wish i could of been there but broken wrist in a cast is hard to ride with, ha. ill have to get up there next time since im out of B class points i got nothing to worry about missing races, hopefully ill move to A when i come back, and is walton's bike ever running

[Pappy]

id like to be there if Lehr....Fink and his crew....Paul Gregg...JT ...and a few others were looking to have some serious practice:chinese: Im not sure the track is wide enough for alot of passing, but it would make for one killer afternoon....and video and pictures that would make me go insane:p

[Pappy]

I know Cody picked up some things from watching Randy and Tom....


I asked him what he learned...he said "Hold it WFO":p

[Pappy]

The fellers at 2upracing have a ton of video....but not sure when they will host clips or if it will be available for sale.

Id kill for a dvd of the first moto

www.myspace/2upracing

[Pappy]

The kids would run down and watch the big guys....then come back and do thier own thing

[Pappy]

Im not sure I can handle when Cody reaches this point:p

[Pappy]

What......did you all think I was done posting pics:devil:

[Pappy]

Randy sure makes that stock engine sing!

[YFZ133]

PAPPY I MUST SAY U HAVE SOME OF THE BEST PICS / CAPTIONS , MAN I SIT HERE LAUGHING MY *** OFF! UR THE BEST ! CHRIS ITS GREAT TO HERE FROM YA , BEEN WONDERING HOW U WERE! GOTTA GET UR NUMBER!

[Pappy]

Ryan (KTM) made me proud, he may have taken 3rd in a 3 man race, but he rode his little heart out

[Pappy]

Ahhhhh.....here is reason #1 why the second moto took 3 try's to get started:p


Hey starter dude(Blue gear) GET OFF THE TRACK WHEN THE RACE STARTS:p

Cody looked over at me and was like WTF!!!!

[Pappy]

Bad start....hammer down ....lets see if them 2 wheela's wanna do some rubbin':devil:

[Pappy]

Take the inside and use that clutch

[Pappy]

I can see in the fullsize pics looks of surprise when cody ripped threw the pack:D

[Pappy]

My bad...this is one of moto 2's starts gone wrong.

The poor feller pulling the starting bungee actually had it snap on him and he fell down into the water pit:p

[Pappy]

Start #2 .....I am pretty sure hooking a rope to the front of a bike and having a quad yank it around is what anyone intended:chinese:

[Pappy]

The bike rider was about to be on the loosing end of this tug of war

[Pappy]

Cody said all he saw was the line go tight and he tried steering off track so he didnt plow the guy

Luckily the rider wasnt sent over the bars

I have a few pics from the weekend as well.I will post them as soon as Kenny is done with his series.Since he is posting Cody's race I will put this one up now though.This is right before moto 1.Cody is the man!

[wvspeedfreak]

Ok,just a couple more.Sorry for the quality of the pictures.These were taken on my 35mm and saved on a cd.The prints look good but they aren't the best once transfered to the disc and the computer.Oh well,here they are :)

Dan harris airing it out.

[wvspeedfreak]

Austin hitting a tabletop.

[wvspeedfreak]

The next couple are of Mxjunkie.

[wvspeedfreak]

:)

[wvspeedfreak]

I didn't get this guy's name but I think he is a friend of mxjunkie.

[Codeman]

I had a blast at Breezewood Proving Grounds. It is one of my favorite tracks to go practice and ride. It was really fun racing the pitbikes and other 90 quad riders. The pitbike race gave me expierence on passing and battling with others.

The first moto was awesome, I got a great start and the top two riders and I pulled ahead and were cruising. The second moto sucked, I really wanted to go for a win infront of everyone, but mechanical issues took me out. I will be sure to settle the score at the next race if they will allow me back in to race with them.

I really like the new youth track, they offer a little bit more of a challenge. The two new tabletops are really fun.

Randy and Fink were fast and exciting to watch. They definatley have skill and talent.

See everyone soon!

Cody

[wvspeedfreak]

This is Ryan getting some air on his KTM.

[wvspeedfreak]

Here is a pic for the "when pitbikes go bad" files.

[wvspeedfreak]

I have more pics of the big quads and some good ones of the Fink/Lehr show.I will get them up later on.I'll leave you with one of Cody on the finish line tabletop.

[Mxjunkie]

Thanks for the pics! :macho :D

Thanks for the great pics, and all the nice comments.
Especially a big "THANK YOU" for saving the day and welding Randy's swing arm up so that he could ride. Even though Randy did get to ride Kevin's quad while we were fixing the swing arm, it's not the same when it's not his quad. Randy loves to ride and it shows when he's out on the track tearing it up.
Randy had a great time and we are sure to come back again and will bring lots of other riders. Breezewood is a great track and when we pulled into the driveway the sign said "We Love Quads"
I don't think that I ever saw a welcome like that anywhere else that we've been before. We need more places like this that actually want quads, instead of treating us quads like second class like some of the other tracks that I won't mention.
Dan
Great track. Thank You, your wife and the crew at your track. If you continue to treat the riders as good as you do the track will be the best around. I will spread the good word and will tell everyone to go to Breezewood.
Thanks everyone
Chuck Lehr (Randy's dad ):)

[cletusEX]

Awesome pics everyone. I was up there Sunday with my brother. I wasn't riding (both the quad and I weren't in the best shape after a XC race the day before). I still had an awesome time watching, it amazes me to watch some of those guys tear up an mx track. It's also nice to see those kids out there pushing it to the limits. Gives you an idea of where this sport is going and I hope to still be racing when these kids get on full size machines and hand me my butt!:p

[Pappy]

I found out tonight that at the series of screwed up starts for teh 2nd moto, a few adults were running thier YAP's on the sidelines. These were members of a team there racing, and they were refering to Cody as a little M'fer and what not.

I chuckeled when I heard it....the wife did not. Cody simply smiled and asked me if his quad will be ready for the Fathers Day race:chinese:

It's a little different when you own the business. The works gotta be done.

[Pappy]

Some more pics.....


Randy ripping it up

[Pappy]

Its a safe bet that randy and cody did the most laps :p

Poor codys hands look like raw meat.....:D No pain...no gain

[Pappy]

the 2 pics above and the next few are randys 2nd and later laps around the track. I saw him do 1 warm up lap:p

Chuck....the operation to have fear removed when he was born was a success:devil:

[JRP]

yea i rode untill my gloves were sticking to my open blisters and i had to tear off my gloves. Hurt like a *****. haha, i am still finding pieces of my gloves in my hand

[Pappy]

Tom didnt waste anytime busting all the jumps either

[Pappy]

when tom and randy went by this rider....I am pretty sure his *** sucked in a good portion of his seat:scary:

[Pappy]

Tom hammering the corner

[Pappy]

The new layout on the youth track has a small double coming out of a corner. I watched cody hit hard a few times, then he started preloading the suspension to hit the downside.

[Pappy]

My niece Madison learning the ropes

Ryan and Austin

Setting up for the corner

[Pappy]

I reckon we will start stories so folks will talk about yall 20 years from now.....


I once saw randy hit a jump and knock on the door of a cessna and wave at the pilot:devil:

[Pappy]

Ross...i hope I got that name right. ill check your girlfriends scrapbook:devil: :blah:

[Pappy]

Just remember...you roost the camera guy ...i will get you back:D

[Pappy]

randy roosted me, so I stopped photoshopping all his pics. Here is randy jumping without me adding all the hiegth and distance:blah:

[Pappy]

Dan checking to see if he put air in his tires:eek:

[quad2xtreme]

Sounds like quite a few got hand blisters this weekend. I was just looking at the Kevlar Anti-Blister glove liners. Anyone used these? A guy is selling them on e-bay for $7 plus $3 for shipping.

/Jon

[KH426]

I have a hole bag of them, I will give you a set the next time i'm up (next weekend) I have the ATV RIDERS stickers and banner on my trailer.

[Pappy]

Kevin, let me know when I need to order more of them.




The kid on the older suki made a great pass to take the lead in his race

[Pappy]

I think pitbike and youth quads could be huge at this facility.....

[Pappy]

Here is the shot where cody dove to the inside trying to take the lead in the first moto.....

sorry the pic is blurry, between Dan and i we couldnt hold still or settle down watching this battle:p

[Pappy]

I still dont have my voice back from screaming:p

We have about half a bag in the trailer and more at work I think.

[Pappy]

and man do the built bikes haul!

[Pappy]

This rider in the 90 quad class did excellent. He is only 7 and rips!

[Pappy]

I was proud of all the kids, they all are winners in my book!


I had one parent tell me they did not bring thier sons quad because they figured he would get beat. DO NOT LET THIS BE YOU!

Get involved with your kid....dont make him or her a loser because of your fear!

[Pappy]

Cody took a friend of his to the track this weekend. he had never riden a bike and by saturday we had him clearing everything on the youth track!


I snapped this pic of cody last night as he took off the rear wheel to fix a flat.....just so his buddy could go with us again:D

[Pappy]

my other niece Tori.....we gave her the dirty face award:D

[WhiteYFZ]

GO CODY!!
GO CODY!!

Tel lhim i said hi, and that he is a really GOOD rider.. and i cant wait to meet you guys

[Pappy]

And be sure to keep an eye on www.breezewoodprovinggrounds.com for updates and upcoming events.

The Fathers Day Pitbike Race should be awesome. Ride all day, watch these nutz race all night! Or if you have a set....join them!!!

They say pitbike racers have to carry alot of attitude to make up for racing a pitbike.....


Well, can you hang or will you just read about the next race like your doing this one:bandit:

I'll have them here somewhere if you ask next time your here.

We'll keep our eye's out for any wheel caps, hate to think someone would of took it.

[dan harris]

I'd like to thank all the riders who came out to celebrate their memorial day weekend with us at the Proving Grounds. I'd also like to thank Pappy and Kevin for all their help, both in advertising the events and in being here getting things ready. Thanks to all the people who helped out to make the pit bike races such a success: the starting line guy - Dan, also known as hip hop. thanks to Jamie who was lining the racers up at the staging area, Kevin Hill for Lining 'em up at the start. Big Jon Kelly who worked the whole back half of the track with the flag. All the kids who sold raffle tickets, everyone else who flagged, helped fallen riders, picked up rocks etc...

The Games on Saturday were awesome and would not of been if it weren't for the generous donations from RIDERSVILLE CYCLES in Berkley Spring West Virginia, SHANANDOAH HONDA of Winchester VA, and JUNIATA RECREATION of Bedford PA. And a special thanks to all the volunteers who helped out to make the games flow smoothly.

I have to thank my entire staff who are also my great friends and family. This weekend was a great success and alot of fun for everyone. Everyone that visits the park comments on the atmosphere here and that comes from the friendly staff and all the great riders and members that pitch in to make every weekend a great riding adventure. I look forward to riding with everyone again soon.

Yeah that's it. I'm starting to think maybe I should leave the girlfriend at home when Pappy's gonna be around :eek2:

P.S. It looks like your niece Tori fits right in at the track... lmao.

[Pappy]

lol....introduce her to the gang next trip up, i didnt even know she was there:p


and yes, tori ate enough dirt to qualify as a roost eater:p

[Pappy]

Dan....

let me know if you need a starting gate built. I will get started on it. Poor "Hip Hop" had to be sore, I bet he was sunburnt to all get out, and he pulled that bungee enough I know his arms were wore out:p


I missed the games on saturday....but saw a bunch of haybales. Did anyone get any pics?

Thanks Dan.I would like to think nobody would do that but it was on there Sunday(there are pics of my truck sitting next to the track and it's on there)and it was gone Monday and the truck hadn't been moved.At least they left my wheels on :D

[dan harris]

Really sorry to hear that, I like to trust everyone and think the best. I know I sent alot of guys into my open garage this weekend to borrow parts off of my pit bikes and to use my tools. When I checked Tuesday all my parts were returned and as far as I could tell all my tools were there. I like to think were all a close community and would not do anything to intentionally hurt one another. Thats the reason I'm so generous in lending out tools and parts and whatever anyone needs while they are here.

.............at the same time if we ever caught anyone stealing from us or our riders, well they would quickly find out why this place is called the "Proving Grounds". I definately will not tolerate any bad apples in the bunch trying to spoil our fun.

Sorry about your cap, If anyone may have seen anything that might help find out who or what happened I'd appreciate it.

[wvspeedfreak]

Dan,you run an awesome place up there and we really appreciate the effort you put into keeping BPG the most awesome park in the area.The last 2 times we have been there Nikki has gone out of her way to accomodate us and we don't take it for granted.Austin absolutely loves riding the kids track and really enjoyed the changes you made to it.We will be seeing you guys at least every other weekend for riding/camping.Thanks.
