Proves one thing. Chest protectors are worth their weight in gold.

Ben’s was shattered in two places avoiding a crushed sternum.

He got back on the horse and finished. Way to go Kenda boy!

I'll agree to that! I bought one this year and I belive it saved me some pain after a turn over:o :)

What Ben is trying to do is remind us that October is National Fire Safety Month and that in the event you should flip your ATV while racing and might be on fire to drop and roll till the flames are out.

In the afternoon race, there was a young guy lined up in the third or fourth row(I think), on a red quad(cannondale??), w/ quadshop.com stickers on the side panels. He lined up,kinda away from the rest of the racers, taking the far outside line. He flipped in the first turn.. :(
Not much to go on, I know..but --- Who was that???
I was asking atvchik and popo "who is that" a good bit Sat(and at the PA race)..but I didn't ask who that particular fella was...

Thanks...Sher

Thanks...Sher Not sure who that could be, 3rd row was 4-stroke A and Rick and I are the only Dales in the class. 4th row was 250A so no Dales in that class.:confused:

Jeff - who is that that runs in the afternoon on a 400ex with a black hood and oversized clear tank? I saw him at Sparta and helped him load up his quad after he came in with a busted ball joint. He runs quadshop graphics? Maybe that's who it was...

I'll have to ask Tabatha(atvchcik), she may know his name. She was chatting with him a little when he was on the line. He may have been back further than what I am remembering ... it was a long day.... ;) ..but very entertaining!

Thanks anyhow...I was just wondering who he was. I'll figure it out..somehow.

It was BEN on the far outside on a Black Cannondale in the 4stk A class. He is the one that everyone is talking about doing the back flip in the turn.

Holy $hit I'm famous!!! SLB, that was yours truly on the outside about 100yards away from the rest of 4stkA....I got a good holeshot...but some ahole with no sense of direction decided I needed to take a good roll....I think I suffered as the doc put it yesterday...a mild concusion...I flipped over, got crushed, flipped out of the way, got my composure, started again (damn levers were turned down) rode a bit, got real sick, pulled off and puked...saw my chest protector was toast, had some kid take it back for me, rode almost a full lap before yakking again,hit too many trees feeling lightheaded, finally felt a bit better. Not a good day..got hit, got sick, rode like a girl(and not a fast one like traci, more like Rico or Jason) and still finished...lets just say I didn't think I would make it.

Hey Rick..and all you kenda haters....guess who was hooking up like a mug.....mua....nuff said.

See all you old technologists in my home turf next week:macho :macho

That's what my husband was just telling me too..but honestly, I swear the quad was all red. It was definitely a C.Dale though...
He was lined up, taking the far outside line..lined up away from the other racers. He was a young fella. I've never seen Ben .. so I don't know what he looks like. :( Seems real nice though..
SOO?? One and the same person then??
:confused
Sorry for the confusion!! I really am...
I'm gonna have to get all you racers straight next season..get my ducks in row as to who is who...

Saw a few wrecks that day that made me go..OUCH!!

Later..and thanks..

Sher...it is black, but the side panels,and headlight shrouds have red checkerd Quadshop graphics, looks red from the side. It was me, right side of the riders, way out by the ropes, I talked to ATVchik right before the race, she said I looked lonely out there...not really, just wanted to be seen!!!:D You have brown hair standing beside her at the ropes right?

Ben

Ok..now that I feel like a complete idiot...
:eek2:
Glad to get this straight tho!!

BEN!! Nice to "sorta" meet you..I was standing there w/ Tab at the start....
We had high hopes for your starting position..then you flipped....bummed us out. Not as much as it bummed you out I'm sure..

OK..I'm outta here b4 I really make a complete *** outta myself...

Ben

explains why I remembered it being red...Rob remembered the checkered graphics....
anyhow..yep, I have brown hair. That was me there beside Tab at the ropes. Rob(my husband) was right beside me, with his Wiseco swearshirt on. Go figure..the one time I didn't ask her "who's that".... that'll teach me..
