They are called sedatives or as I like to call them the shiny green pills. MR HAPPY TIME....:devil:

Nice track a little tight for me, but oh well. A little side note the 4 stroke c class was more competative than the 4 stroke a. Only 2 guys had more laps than me. Hmmm does this mean I am fast. YEAH RIGHT:devil:

I have a softball sized bruise on my elbow from flying over the bars and onto the rocks.

HARLEN: Great pics man. The tree is an interesting angle, but how does such a fat man like yourself get that high up? I am thinking you had help gettin in that tree. :blah:

[Admin]

Sorry, to disappoint you Derno, but I climbed the tree all by myself! Also, I am just Big Boned, not fat:macho

The day I can't lap you anymore, will be the day I call myself fat!

[Derno24]

Don't worry Harlen that day is soon coming. Or the day I pull over to let you buy and stone ya.:devil: :D

[DaveEX7]

LOL! Harlen, you were doing as much racing as anyone else! Every time I seen you, you were "racing" from one end of the course to the other taking pictures!

The pictures do look great as always!
Thanks,
Tina

[Derno24]

Yeah I think Harlen should get some credit here he walked almost a full lap out there taking these pictures and was at the finish line laughing at me when I got there.

Rick (465Stroker)I hope you are feeling better. Also did you need stitches? My elbow is freakishly huge right now. I would say about the size of a softball. Also I wasn't sure how to post pics here, but on Cannondaleriders I have a cool pic of you that my wife took. Sorry Harlen, but I stole a couple of your pics too.

[Andy Lagzdins]

Harlen- great photos and commentary! The photos make for some great flashbacks from the race. It's nice to be able to run with great riders on a challenging track only a couple hours from home. I'm looking forward to riding at Rausch during the week soon if the weather holds out. Thanks for the pics and the props!

[465Stroker]

I am actually feeling really good. Naa - I think I may get away with just bandages. Kinda bummed that I pulled off now now that I saw Matt got second - I know I was pretty far out ahead even after the wreck... Oh well - Thanks for asking.

Nice to meet ya Andy!

[jlhughes750]

Andy, it was good to see a new face in the A class. we had a great turn out Sunday... it was nice to meet u. I was following u the entire first lap and a lil of the 2nd. On the first lap my buddy Mark Carman got crossed up and u and I sat waiting for him to free it up for about 10 seconds... I remember rolling in behind u and yelling, come on Mark!!!! U turned around and gave me a look as if to say, who's Mark??? It was fun....

later, J

[Derno24]

Rick you finished with 3rd place in 4 stroke A even with pulling off.

[ex kid]

it was an awsome track. great pictures harlen.

it seemed like they took out all the big uphills and really bad rock sections. i thought the layout was great and with the track being 6 miles everyone does more laps. the only thing they need to work on at rausch is the scoring. for some guys it took 2 second and for others it took 2 mins.

[blastinroost]

the pictures were awsome pretty good camera man
nice job

[Admin]

Thanks for all the comments!:D

[QuadJunkies]

AWESOME PICS HArlen!1 I really wish I could figure out how to get mine to turn out that good a quality, I just need more practice I guess.;) I liked the ones up in the trees!! Congrats to all the riders........

[400exvet]

Awesome pics and reporting Harlen. I 'll have to meet up with you someday. I am a born again racer after being gone for 12 years due to marriage and children. When I quit racing the 250X, the word Blackwater made everybody cringe. The guys racing now, never even heard of it! Quite a change in times. I raced a few district 7 races this year and was less than impressed. The turn out really blows. I race "B" or Vet and usually have less then 10 riders in each class, sometimes less than 5. I almost fell the hell over yesterday when I saw the turn out. I haven't seen a turn out like that since a GNCC in the early 90's. Anyway, you say you have other pics of people you don't know. I would like to see if you have any of a red 400 ex, DG bumper, #71 on front fender and back plate, red & black gear with grey Fox chest protector. I saw people taking pics throughout the track, I'm guessing you were one of them. I ended up 4th in the "B" class after wasting lots of time due to really stupid decisions. It looks like district 6 is the place to be if the turn out is even close to Sundays race. I really like going before the bikes. Do all district 6 races to that? That track was awesome.... I still hurt!... not too bad though! Does anyone know how to get the results of Sunday's race? thanks, Later, Doug

[Admin]

Thanks Doug,

District 6 is the place to race for a large turnout of very competitive racers.

Also, the quads start before the bikes at all the tracks except the Foot of the Mountain.

I will look through my pictures and see if I can find the brown guy on a 400ex with a DG Bumper.

I will post the rest by Thursday Night.

naaa we need him for the DMAN!!!!!!!!!

[rowlrag]

:huh

[QuadMatt]

Harlen

First, Thank you for the great pics. I saw you when u started to climb that tree and thought "That guy is dedicated". I was wondering if you got any pics of me. I am on a red 400EX with some goofy mudflaps on the front fenders and black rims. You cant miss them. If you have any, please post one.

Second, Will the results be posted? Once things were "straightened out" with the results, I got 3rd in 4 ST B. Just wonder if that is still correct.

Overall, I had a great day. The track was kinda rough. I lost half of my rear fender by the end and almost lost my skidplate. It was holding on with one bolt. A guy parked next to me snapped his front spindle on a 250R. And I saw Stefanie Kenney with a broken swingarm.

Thanks again
Matt

[Admin]

I will look for your picture:D

[Admin]

Here is a Picture of you Matt!

[QuadMatt]

Thanks very much!!!

Results?

[QuadMatt]

Did you get any of the 4 St B Start? I totally wheelied off the line..

Matt

[brian]

anybody get any pics of the 4strkC start? i'm pretty sure i had the holeshot in that one.

[Derno24]

What were you riding???

[brian]

a yellow Z

[400exvet]

Hey any of you guys going to Foot of Mountain. in Neelyton Pa. this Sunday(11/16)? What kind of track is it there? Will I need traction and clearance(22x11 razr 2's) or speed(20x11 Razr's)? Is there jumps or strictly woods? I'm having this issue with my adjustable swingarm strut thingy. I like the rear being 3" lower especially with the big tires but if I jump it, the caliper hits the exhaust. I guess I'll set it set to drop the rear only 2" and see what that does. Later!

[RED121572]

Its kinda funny that Heather won her class on her blaster, cause she absolutely hates racing there.

[ex kid]

she said she didnt like to track because her blaster's pretty much setup for MX.

I was on my 250EX at that race. I had a bad start and was in last, then i passed the other dude and Heather and pulled about a 2 min. lead. about 1 mile before the checkpoint I got a flat and when i came out of the woods my pit crew was no where to be found so i took a DNF!

[ex kid]

shes a hell of a racer either way. i know that from the DMAN!!!

[DaveEX7]

Pit crew dessert ya did they?:D

[RED121572]

Heather is a nice girl. Over the fall, I dated a girl that races District 6 and runs the mod'ed B class.I got the chance to meet Stephanie, Stephs brother; John jr, his dad and Heather to name a few. Nice crew to be around with.

I thought it was amazing John won the mod'ed B class on his practically stock 400.

[RED121572]

EX, do you race at Pine Grove? The reason Im asking, I was there for the races in October. I was a pit bit*h. :D

[ex kid]

YEA THEY DESERTED ME AND IT COST ME!!:mad:
aaaa o well.



yea i should be at pine grove!

[naxbansheekid11]

hey can any of you guys give me some info on the set up mike lucas has on his banshee? I have a banshee and would like to know what kinda set up he has

[ex kid]

next time your at a D6 or a GNCC ask him. the only thing i know for sure is that he uses Custom Axis Shocks.

[naxbansheekid11]

Well I live in fl so it may be alittle hard to ask him

[ex kid]

they have a GNCC in flordia.

PM, JLHughes750, he knows him and most likeley whats done to the bike.

[Derno24]

This thread is still open? Joe shouldn't you be in school there buddy?:devil: :eek2:

[ex kid]

i am:devil:

[Derno24]

So that would explain why you are still in the 1st grade.....:D

[Kilabanshee]

Yeah harlen post when you going to be at the district 6 races because i know i wont be racing all of them... Derno man you really ripped it up at rausch cant wait till this up comming season!!

[Derno24]

Harlen may not be hitting many if any races in the district 6 this year. When I spoke to him last he stated he is really getting involved with this site and trying to do many new things.

[Kilabanshee]

Thats cool, Derno at dutchman where you not doing to hot like was something wrong with your quad or just your not to much of that mx sort of scene. I heard that rausch is soo much harder and yet you placed 4th awesome cant wait to be ripping up those tracks.

[Derno24]

I am more rocks and tight trails not mx, but I was messing with a twist throttle for the first time, and I lost my rear brakes.

[Kilabanshee]

Thats right didnot you end up finding them at the end of the race???? I just got my new fenders and iam going to east coast to bye an aftermarket seat latch because the stock one is a pain in the arse. Derno you will be at d-man february 8th wont you..

[YZROOSTINYA]

hopefully my quad will be in one peice by the 8th. I need to teach killa' a few things about the woods.

I have sign up for AMA and District 6 by then though

[Derno24]

I'll be at the dutchman on the 8th. I'll be running the Z though. My rebuild took a detour waiting on parts. They'll be in by the next race, but not in time to set-up for this race.

YZ: you know you can register for both at the event. There may be a line, but it can be done.

[RED121572]

Deron, what class do you run?

[Kilabanshee]

I think derno will be running c-class maybe b depending on how comfortable he is. Palmer what are you gonna be running b class??? Ill show you up in the woods Cause you remember when i raced you in freeland and you almost **** urself. Quad is almost done runing to east coast today to get the left over shioot i need. See ya all at d-man!!

[RED121572]

I was at Pine Grove for one race in Sept and most of them in Oct.

Who is the guy that races the A class, pilots that red 2 stroke, hes got a summit front bumper and seems to always be in first place by 30 seconds....and he wins?

[Kilabanshee]

Jason hughes??? that would be jlhughes in here i dunno if thats the same guy ur thinking about.

[RED121572]

The name Jason kinda rings a bell. Seemed like hes always out front, followed by a couple YZF's and the guy on the predator that wears mostly black.

[Derno24]

I am starting the season in C. The guy who wins all the races was running a YZF and his name is Chris Borich. He has an R too, but I don't think he ran it there at all. I know he ran a Z400 for a while and then the YZF. Ex Kid or JL would know better on the A class stuff.

[ex kid]

red R with summit bumper is Wes Stone. he runs open A at nationals

black pred- is todd rotherlem,he runs 250 A at nationals. somtimes you see him ona white R

there are a few YFZ's now, i know Matt Lawerence is runnin one of them.

Hughes silver R or YFZ

Hertz's on the red Cdale or silver R's

Borich YFZ

Sean Nighlender(sp) YFZ or silver R

Krachen-Z400

Harlen-Z400

[YZROOSTINYA]

killa, my clutch was slippimg.

Ummm humm palmer thats what they all say..... John if you end up racing district 6 what class are you gonna be running??? Derno Your gonna be staying in c class for awhile arenot you?? I had alot of fun racing with you because we where neck and neck for quite a while... At the race ill call you on your cell soo we can meet up and talk before hand.

[YZROOSTINYA]

you have to start out in the lowest class. you only move up if you have the points.

I just ordered
shocks(rebuilt mine)
38 mm carb port
new rims and tires all around
fixed my clutch
fixing exhaust

and some other stuff I forget about. It should be done in 2 weeks or so.

Killa - when we race you will know it, cause you wont see me:eek2:

[YZROOSTINYA]

also i run 22's you run 20's

besides, you'll probably put on another 20 lbs and grow 6 inches by feb:huh

[Kilabanshee]

Yeah most likely Iam 6,3 now almost taller then my brother mark.. Iam going on atken diet soo i can wrestle 185 and just smoke people iam undefeated now in 210 and heavy soo in 185 i would just own. I just rejetted my carb threw in a 152, got a new filter, shock wears, them works shocks i bought, new seat latch, fenders a few small things palmer ill race you in freeland anytime and you should see me at climbs now Iam almost as good or better then kaschak.. Palmer the highest class you can start at is b class you dont have to run c first. My friend greg with the banshee started in 2 stroke b soo iam pretty sure you can start in b class unless you wanna race with me in c class. But look at when you raced me how much more stuff you had done to your quad; you have porting and all that insh and i just have a 416 with a cam. Wait till i get my porting and fcr39milli carb Hah:devil:

[YZROOSTINYA]

i will prob race c to get the hang of it.

steve beats me too. everyone elses quad i build is faster than mine?

he hAS 20'S TOO.

I RAN 20'S FoR ABOUT 1 HOUR ONE DAY. IT WAS POINTLESS. SPINning till 4th.

I will have a 22/20 set up so i will try them when they are all mounted.

[Kilabanshee]

Palmer my frist race at dutchman i was in first in c class for liek the whole time till i hit this tire that took me out pretty bad. Race b class I bet you will do as well or better then me there cause you have alot more riding experiance and the track is one of the easyest tracks to follow.
