Jl: Nothing like having a pro show the kid how to make a post. Our exadmin won't be racing he said his bike is down for the season. Hopefully he will come again and take pictures. That was cool.

EXKID: Give me a call and I will explain and see what you want to do.

wow, i never knew there was a mx track south of Rausch Creek. do they have a website. would really love to ride in that race. is it D7 or D6? im D7 bu wouldnt mind paying for extra D6. AMA race?
Not to many jumps i hope cause im a rooky mx'er.

They run MX's races there, but this is a harescramble this sunday. I am not sure about a web site for them, but www.amadistrict6.com should have a link if there is one. The jumps for this weekend aren't that bad. I am not a good jumper and I kinda like the jumps on this track. The race is Dist 6, but dist. 7 people race there too. I don't think there is an extra charge unless you want to go into the points race for the season.

Anyone know what happened to Chris Borich. I saw his quad going back to the trailer with a dented bumper and no Chris. This would have been on the 2nd lap.

Today was horrible for me.

Blaster2000 I pmed you.

Joe Sorry about the rims I was aggravated and left early. I didn't even realize I forgot to give you the rims until I was almost home.

there were alot of crashes yesterday. right on the first turn in my class 4 guys got tangled up and then the leader hit the first ditch next to the double and went down really hard. i ran a my blaster today instead of the honda. it worked well considering i only had about an hour of riding time on it. our class battled all day and myself and two other riders got caught behind a 4 stroke B rider who would not move the entire first lap and wich let the leader of our class get ahead. i think finished 3rd in 0-230 i had to leave pretty quick after the race for a party.

ron i saw u at your truck when i was riding over to the line. ill get the wheels somtime. did you guys manage to get any pictures?

any word on chris borich?

J what place did u end up?

Chris Borich is OK, but badly bruised, battered, and stitched up.

Chris hit a patch of ice at the end of a straight away and he went sideways. The tires grabbed and flipped the quad and threw chris to the ground. Luckily the quad missed him and flipped several times doing fair amount of damage.

Chris landed on his elbows and a rock took a chunck out of his arm which required stitches. He also was bruised up pretty good, and he actually was extremely lucky that he didn't get hurt worse.

He should be good to go in a few days.

I am glad to hear it wasn't that serious. As far as the track. I watched the first 2 laps and then called it a day. A lot of people were pulling off for one reason or another. There weren't alot of crashes, but about 1/3 of each class was already gone.

Chris went down pretty hard, probably one of the fastest parts of the track.. first lap it was ok cause of all the dirt on the track, then on lap 2 its was glazed over from all the traffic. He was leading so he was the first to hit it at speed on lap 2. I hit it and thought my tire came off the bead, it did not look slippery at all...

Needless to say, i hope Chris is feeling better soon, maybe he'll get on here and give us an update????

Side Note: Backwards at the Dman rules, but we need more room at the start, move us back farther or something...running the track backwards is cool but the starts are dangerous that way...

I had to stop and do some filter maintnence after 2 laps, but i got back out and finished 5th overall. there were 17 A racers all together, we all started on the same line..:eek:

running the track backwards was weird on the first two laps for me but then i got the hang of it and it was pretty cool. the ice on the straight-a-way by the creek was no good. i just didnt like the jumps backwards and the back straights were whooped out from going the other way on previous races.

as far as crashes, i saw alot of wood taken out of the trees as well as alot of track markers taken out like tires and rope. you need good throttle,brake and clutch control on a track like that.

anyone have any good battles? alot of my class ran together until the 3rd lap.

THE START WAS A FREAKIN CATTLE SHOOT!

J do u know if i got third? i had to go.

Hey guys this is Chris Thanks for asking how I'm doin. I'm doin pretty good. No broken bones just a hole in my arm that needed stitches. In a couple days I'll be back on the quad. Thanks again:)
