Round Eleven - Yadkinville

[Bonnie Cook]

The weather was perfect, the track was great, and the riders were ready for a battle.


Thanks for all those that showed up. It is closing in on the end of the season. Hope everyone is ready for the last race and some Championship battles. The banquet is going to be December 16th in Shelby, NC. Check out the mid east website for information. Plus, we are going on a Mid East familiy cruise. If you plan on attending, please call Bonnie soon, we have to have a deposit paid at the Fallston race, plus you need to get a passport. If this goes well, we were planning on doing another cruise next year, maybe during the Christmas break for kids at school so we can take a longer one!
Hope everyone is excited about the end of the year!

Pictures coming next....

The cruise is a neat idea...seems like a good way to get to know our "racing family" away from the track. If it is planned for next year we may be able to plan ahead to do it. Are we going to be having any winter races or team races before next season starts? THANKS FOR ALL YOU AND THE MIDEAST CREW DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wingnut]

Hi Everyone! This is Will's girlfriend. The winter race idea sounds great and I know a lot of people would love to get out there and show what their made of before the season starts back! Winter races have my vote and I know they have Will's too.:D

[Bonnie Cook]

[angelon400ex]

You already make me proud..Not too many people ride a quad ten or eleven times in their life and take up racing..just don't go smoking the Predator! You might hurt its feelings so bad it quits running:eek2:

[gump]

the door is still open for ya to ride my quad. i'm supposed to be in the kymco open with mike and kevin.. but i'm holding out, i won't do it unless i get a factory ride from kymco for next year....:D

[lonewarrior]

yea i may have a surprize for yall but i have to get the go ahead from the team captain Mr Holeshot

[angelon400ex]

No offense to the warrior because I rode one for three years and created a lot of awesome memories but they aren't the plushest setups in the world and you ride the wheels off it, Lonewarrior...you deserve a Mideast Sponsored ride :D We all want to see what you can do with an extra sweet ride!

[lonewarrior]

thanks for the nice commets lol the warrior is quite difficult to handle from time to time lol after every race i have to weld or try to make run before the next race

[angelon400ex]

I know I used to say my Warrior rode me, instead of me riding it. And I have no idea how I survived days and days of riding Brown Mtn on it. Crazy as it may sound I think what it took to ride it improved my skills. So, if you get "sponsored" for Fallston you should have a blast!

[lonewarrior]

Shoot i just love being out there no matter if im on a warrior or a sweet ride lol and i bet id prolly do worse on another quad but its all about fun!

[angelon400ex]

That attitude makes the best racer anyway!:D Besides we sure aren't doing it for the big bucks! I know I've heard many say it is time to quit when it isn't fun anymore. I just keep having fun though.
