I had a hectic weekend too. Tommy had his football jamboree on Sat. then we went to a crab feast at my dads. Hows things going with the new crib??? Lets try to hook up next weekend.

[seatec]

Think we are not goign to touch the NEW crib. to much money for not enough oo's and aaahhs. the land is nice but doesnt justify the price tag. Think we are staying put at Osborn PKWY. you should drop by. will pm address.

[checkster]

thanks

Makes no sense to be house poor. I have a bunch of friends that are in that boat. hey I saw David on Saturday with a new CFR250x in the back of his truck!

[seatec]

True that man.
Yeah, David bought himself a thumper "finally!". I told him over and over again that he would be happy and now that he has it he is a pig in sh$t. I think he is selling the kdx220 for like 3100 or something.

[Ericthered rdr]

Seatec....Man if my knees weren't as bad as they are and I had the cash to play with I would have one too. As light as I am I would fly on a 250. Honda built the ultimate trail bike ever in the CRF250x. Now they need to step up and make a 450x for the big boys. Hey I feel stood up...I stopped by last night but you weren't there. I think I past you about 7:45.

[Honda5]

Who knows where the cheapest place to buy a honda is? I got a friend looking for a new 250ex for his wife and he is looking for a cash and carry deal.
Eric still looking for you and the kids.
seatec just buy it now and pay for it later.my motto is
"don't let money stand in the way of your happiness"

[seatec]

Hey Eric. i was there dude. Did you ring the door bell? you didnt go to orley place did you? where did you pass me?

Dave: dont know where the cheapest place is. i am dumb and buy at Pete's Cycle and pay premium. Greg might know a good place

[checkster]

I bought my kids bike at planet honda in Wilmington, DE. Its about an 70 miles away but the guy was nice as can be and excellent to deal with! I have his card in my truck I will get you his name at lunchtime. I called in advance and bargained over the phone with the guy, (talked him down $300) went to pick it up at a prenegotiated price and when I got the he dickered some more and I walked out even 200 bucks cheaper than when I talked to him on the phone.......Id definately buy a bike there again.

P.s. I went to Petes and the fat *** in sales acted like his chicken salad sandwich was more important then selling a bike. Asked him a question and he gave me some smart *** answer so I told him to enjoy his sandwich cause it just cost him 3 grand and I walked out.........f*#K Petes........anyways im starting to rant.........But long story short, When Petes is the last dealer on earth I will start riding a skate board.

Tom

[seatec]

i hear about petes.

[checkster]

ok went out in my truck at lunch and couldnt find his business card but i still have the reciept from the bike.

planet honda
610-361-8001

ask for Vince. Tell him the guy that bought the KX65 sent you. Maybe it will save you a couple bucks, who knows.

I second that go to Rydersville, I bought my 450R there, they are good people, I believe Mike is the sales guy I dealt with.

[panteramatt]

Nick I am trying to talk the wife into that one. I think that is a two day event up there with a cookout on Sat.

[chucked]

Anyone going to MIR this weekend to watch the Fast By Gast Superbike Showdown Series I will be there sunday with my neighbor, owner of Team Machine, He will be on his brand new 2004 hayabusa, soon to be the fastest busa on the east coast.

[greghall]

I know somebody going down,the fastest on the east coast?he must be the man because I've seen stock wheel base busa's go low 8's a few years ago no wheelie bar!

Yeah I think they are having a HS Sat and on Sun. I would love to go up there and race Sat then race Sun, but i doubt that will happen. It would be awesome practice. Are you planning to hit Budds on the 12th? I think that will be a good time. It's always nice to go down there and not have to worry about rocks.

[jrspawn]

Hey Honda5, you ready for tomorrow? It should be a blast there.

justin

P.S. did you get your carrier fixed?

[panteramatt]

Could anyone answer any of my questions, or is this just for maryland riders?:D

I went there the other day to check things out on the way to my sons footballgame... it it was a dusty mutha and it hasn't rained since. I hope you have a good time I have BBQ duties today at a friends house.

[jrspawn]

Well, finnally got back home from the delmarva series race at seaford today, it was a blast!!!! Especially the second moto, i dont think ive ever had more fun in a race than that. delaware152 ended up first in A class, its amazing how fast he can go around that track, Honda5 ended up first for B, matt estep took first in vet, and i ended up first for C. To my knowledge i dont think anyone really wrecked or even had any problems today, it was a perfect day. If anyone can post somepics on here i might have a couple that are pretty good.

thank you

[checkster]

Thanks, It was a good time. Dusty as hell, but fun. Had a hard time getting the gist if everyone riding everywhere at once. I think I spend more time looking around to make sure it was going to hit anyone than paying attention to the riding.......oh well, there are a few nice jumps where you can get some air time.

[400exvet]

jrspawn, Dam you guys came home happy from Seaford huh? Do you guys ride at Blue Diamond? I remember reading in here a while ago about a group of guys that frequently rode there and it was better than last year for quads. Does the ATV section have more to it now? Actual trails? or just a big sandpit with a track and some jumps? Ask your buddy matt if he use to work at DuPont in Newark de. back in the early 90's.


HEY YOU D-7 GUYS!!!!you getting ready for Budds on 9/12? You do see that we are all one more spot down since we didn't make Oakland? I am so out of shape from not racing since June I can barely stand it. I have been riding a very little bit on the R. I have been practicing starts a little and I must say, I feel more comfortable now with the kick start than I did on the EX. It just feels more natural to kick, let out the clutch and twist the throttle all at the same time. After the first couple of rides, I have not had any trouble starting the R at all:D See y'all at Budds:blah: Later!

[Ericthered rdr]

only two weeks till the racing starts back up! I can't wait. It is going to be nice running at budds with no damn rocks for a change.

[seatec]

Yeah, i really want to go but don't know if i can. Lotsa stuff going on.

[jrspawn]

Hey, we were definetly happy with the results of sunday, i think we all had smiles on our faces on the ride home. Myself, matt, and a few other guys are at blue diamond regulary, we have improved the track greatly. We are adding more jumps everytime we are out there, Plenty of tabletops, lots of doubles, soon to be whoops, and for anyone that likes to get serious air, we now have a 90ft. up hill triple, or you can just 40ft double it. Its definetly improved there. I might be there this thursday and probably sunday, if anyone else wants to go, just get a hold of me.

thank you
justin
jrspawn@aol.com

[cletusEX]

I can't wait till Budds. I think I might try and hit the Foot of the Mountain race this Sunday. And then Budds is the 12th, then Oakland on the 19th (I think), then it's the Mountaineer GNCC on the 25th. I think Sept. is going to be nice!:D I just hope the old EX can handle all of that. (I hope I can handle all of that)

Anyone else thinking of hiting FOTM? Doug what about you and Ronnie, I know you guys like that track?

[400exvet]

Nick, We'll definately be at Budds, maybe Oakland, definately WV GNCC and hopefully the remaining 2004 D-7 races and maybe some D-6. I see that Rausch Creek is having a D-6 race on Sep. 19th that was a hell of a turn out last year...I did well there! Since you'll have your D-6 card from Foot Of Mtn. you might as well use it up:D. I don't think we will be at Foot O Mtn this weekend... Ron is getting some work done on his 400, I don't think it will be done. Although we do like that course. I think if I spend one more weekend at home I should be good to go for the rest of the year:devil:. The wife will be glad to get rid of me;) .

We may end up at Blue Diamond on Sunday....jrspawn I'll be lookin for ya's. I have a dk blue Chevy 2500 4wd ext cab with Honda XC racing decals all over the back window.

What is he getting done to the 400? Motor? Us 400ex riders got to stick together with everyone running new 450R's.
:D

[400exvet]

No, just some minor maintenance....as far as I know:eek: unless.....he is having Andy sneek something in that motor and he isn't telling me. I guess I'll find out soon enough:D

Eric, have you ever been to Blue Diamond? It is great for the kids. This weekend they are having a carnival, fireworks, Monster trucks etc. The bad thing is the cost. Everyone needs a 50.00 annual Blue Diamond Card plus 25.00 for each time you ride. It's only about 30 minutes from Elkton. We might be there Sunday.

any of u guys ever had trouble with motor work from dirt first, i know a guy that claims they can never get his engine right, says they keep leaving out a bolt, or forget to tighten one up, stupid **** like that. Says one time, as soon as he started it, a bolt inside of the head shot through the top of the valve cover or something, the guy seemed a little shady though...

[YLW400]

Are you all racing MX at Budds????

[Delaware152]

I am. How does Seaford sound this weekend YLW400?

[seatec]

I havent heard a bad thing about Andy's shop.

Most people think when something blows up its somebodys fault stuff breaks,I do all my own work so I have nobody to blame but myself,Andy does good work,sometimes the crap he agrees to work on I would'nt even touch,everybody has there opinions.

[YLW400]

Someplace sounds good to me Delaware!!

[greghall]

I think I'm going to WV this weekend taking my bike see if I get my fire back after ripping it up on the R!

[jrspawn]

well it was a brand new 450r... I still think the guy was exaggerating his problems.

My bikes still in the shop, I just heard it should be almost done by this weekend (dont really know what that means)

[D-7#61-450r]

Hey ylw. I guess you plan on going to Budds on the 12th. I'll see you there. You missed some real battling in tomahawk the last race. It was nice for a change that we had only one C gate. Full of 20 riders,first moto.

[YLW400]

Yea, I'll be there #61...How did it go? Who won? Where the hell are we in points???..lol

[D-7#61-450r]

First moto was some new boy on a gray 400 ex,2nd 133,3rd 61,raptor mike in forth,a new boy #5 on a yfz fith.#5 beet us there last time
Second moto #5,#133, #61.
As you go into the woods just before the finish line on the last lap #87 and I got together and crashed pretty hard. Tomahawk chop. I got lucky only bruised up but 87 thinks he broke his collar bone.
As far as points go who Knows now. Jeremy said he would updated the points and the schedual (do to an added race)last week but have not seen anything on the web site yet.

[RTSE440]

Anybody ride Easton this weekend? I see on their website that they changed the tracks around.....Might try and get down there this comming weekend. May even get seatec on his quad:eek2: ...

[jrspawn]

Hey, Dave from the landing accually invited a buddy of mine an myself to come down wensday night and thursday to put some input into the track from a quad perspective(i was extremely impressed with that) after walking it off wensday night, thursday we loaded up the quads to check out some of the changes, its turning out to be pretty sweet. We put in some kicker style step downs, changed some of the landings, and there's gonna be a new section called "pinned out", should be pretty sweet. It was awesome to go out there thursday and have it to ourselves really, i gotta say dave is a pretty cool guy, And he loves to see a quad get out there and rip it up, if anyone see's him anytime, ask him about "high speed harry" he was pretty impressed of what a buddy of mine could jump on a quad. I think ill definetly be riding at easton a lot more now, we kinda got screwed around with at blue diamond, started off there good and had a lot of stuff that we were told we could do there, but show up one day and they didnt want to do anthing else, so ill just ride somewheres else if thats how they want to treat someone just because we ride a quad.

thank you.
justin
jrspawn@aol.com

[RTSE440]

So did they change all the tracks, or just the main one? How is it safety wise...seatec and I are old and feeble:D ...we get hurt easy:( ...No "super hero" stuff for us. My main concern was any steep faced take-offs and landings with big open gaps...those are the helicopter ride out jumps I like to avoid. Glad to hear they got quad riders input...(as long as the quad riders aren't knocking off 90' triples like they're nothing :eek: ).....Thanks!!

[cletusEX]

All you xc racers out there. Who's showing up at Budds on the 12th? I'll be there along with my brother (DoctorRags), James (250RXCRider), and our other buddy Brian. Points seem to be semi close for a lot of us. It's been awhile since everyone on here should up and should be a good race.

[greghall]

No the Big Buck bass tourney is on the same day & Im on some big fish so I have a good chance to win some bucks!see you guys soon!

dude that sucks. i'm taking 17 credits and am only in class mon-thurs. i start at 9:30 on tues and thurs and at 12:00 on mon and wed. i end around 5 every day.

[jrspawn]

Hey the jumps arent too scary, the lips and take offs on most of the jumps at the landing are almost always pretty steep, as well as pretty steep landings, he tamed down some of the landings so they will be more forgiving. Some of the new kicker jumps in the back have very steep take offs, but are very simple and fun jumps, just make sure you chop out of the throttle at the right time. All this is on the intermidiate track( the big one) he also changed some stuff on the expert bike track, added a couple new jumps, thats also how m buddy got the nickname of "highspeed harry". Overall i just think its pretty cool that dave will listen to us quad guys.

:p :p :p you tell'm Greg....you forgot to add in there taking care of vehicles for you and all her family, house maintenance(grass,paint,new bathroom,kitchen etc), and not to mention fishing and racing time:confused: boy does that add up....
Greg, sorry to hear you will not be at Budd's...NOT:D jk hopefully, I can gain some points on ya;)

Nick, yea me and Ron will be there. I need to get an axle and get it in the R before Sunday. I trashed mine yesterday practicing on our woods loop. I was sorta out of control in one of the fast sections and just missed a tree with the front tire....but the rear tire sticks out past the nerf bar just a little bit:grr: the tree grabbed it spun it around and spit me right off into the trail and then rolled on me :eek: .....bent the bars, broke the clutch lever and bent the axle....I have a sore shoulder but nothing too bad. I have found an axle on E-bay for 75.00 and one on here in the sale section for 60.00 but I need to make sure they can get it to me in time. See ya Sunday!

[greghall]

The points are going away for me fast but I have enough dust collectors(tropheys) at home, my 4 big end of year ones are jambed in the closet wife broke alot of them ,so mybe i'll come out in a couble of weeks to wip up on you guys again:D

Bring it on!:p Sounds like it's going to be a fun time. And if we get this rain on Thursday like their talking about, there should be the typical mud holes at Budds. Hopefully we'll be in our new trailer (it's an '01 but new to us), 26' by 8' enclosed Haulmark.:D

Damn Doug it sounds like my weekend......I was chasing Nick around on a little woods track we have and I caught the front wheel on stump. Let's just say a took a short flight over the bars. A new tie rod later, thanks to Nicks brother who had an extra, and I am good to go. Budds will be a good time and I am looking forward to running with all you D-7 guys!

[greghall]

$6000.00 any takers?may want to sell may be in the market for a new house!You guys know what condition my R is in.I really don't need to sell it but for the $$$ I will,.maybe:D

[DoctorRags]

What's up ladies? Good to see most everyone will be making Budds'. Hopefully, your luck will be different by then and those damn trees will stop jumping out in front of you guys.

That sucks you may have to sell your quad, but I guess a new home might be a better investment. Good Luck with the 6 g's.

[400exvette]

I got a stock 450r axle for $60.00, being shipped to my house by Friday. I am a happy camper! Budds it is:macho Looks like it may be a little muddy:eek2: . That's O.K. ....I like mud! It slows all you other guys down so I can keep up. What the heck is up with the trees? both guys I was riding with hit some too....one needs two tie rods:eek: the other one was my old 400ex and it faired better than the rider. Later

Damn I might have a shot at a good finish on Sunday now:D

[greghall]

If you calm down & stay away from the trees you should do really good put together a good first lap & it will be hard for those guys to catch you, no bottle necks can really give you a good lead!Mica Hernery will proply win anyway that guy is really fast!I know you can get a good start!

I'm gonna print up some flyers and pass them around. Almost got a done deal to get his picture on some milk cartons too. Details on the candle light vigil will come soon.:D

LMMFAO.....I think Seatec is busy selling his house. When it is gone he wil have no excuses

Hey chris you don't need a kill switch at budds they have not checked yet for the HS guys.

Greg you should not sell that quad man. I must say I am very happy with the one I have power is not an issue with mine all I need is suspension and that will come soon.

[seatec]

Hey! i am still around. Some people just have lives and need to take care of business instead of cruising around their own private woods loop!:devil:

Chris, ill call you soon to see what we are doing this weekend.

Budds? Come on it should be a good race.

[YLW400]

Who all is coming to Budds??????????? I'll be there Sunday!!

[cletusEX]

I'll be there with a few guys racing the HS. I usually like to watch some of the quad mx action. YLW what color and number is your bike? If I see you there I'll introduce myself.

[YLW400]

Cool man, I'll be on a white 400EX...number 187 with East Coast ATV stickers.. I'll be in a grey Z-71......chances are, I'll be over near the entrance somewhere..

[Delaware152]

I will be there. YLW400 will be if he get's out of bed on time

[Ericthered rdr]

JC we usually park over to the left when you come in the entrance. I will be in an old blue chevy pick up. What time do you start racing on Sun. I would like to see a couple of moto's. I am going to try to be there by 10am

[jrspawn]

Hey, ill be at budds sunday, cant wait for it.

justin
jrspawn@aol.com

[YLW400]

I am usually in the center somewhere Eric.. It's hard to tell what time we start racing...Depends on what moto we are..


Delaware, did you get that other motor straightened out?

[D-7#61-450r]

What a large c gate we might have this weekend JC. I hear delaware might have a little bit of added A riders as well. It will be a very interesting weekend indeed if the rumors are true.

[Ericthered rdr]

Well we had a great day for racing yesterday but I had a bad day of racing! My CDI cam loose and hit my chain... the rest is history. MY first DNF:mad:
I ordered a new CDI but the harness might be a bit of trouble. Oh well chit happens. It was still good to get out and see all the D-7 boys again and my cousin had a blast. I am not going to Oakland this coming weekend if I can't get a harness in time.

[seatec]

Sorry to hear about your DNF.
Chris, Dave and i had a good time at Easton. the new track is pretty nice.

[RTSE440]

Eric....tough break on the DNF. At least you didn't get hurt!! Easton was pretty nice...Good to see slim...ah Seatec riding a track again. He was like the energizer bunny out there. Way more energy than me:D . Dave was trying not to make us look too bad....thanks Dave. I still would like to ride that Honda sometime...never rode a quad that was ..ahem..50" wide before. Would love to compare it to a stock width machine.

[kwatts400]

Is anyone going to be at Budds Creek on the 25th-26th of Sept?

[D-7#61-450r]

What for? The MX race is at seaford that weekend.

[blockhondab18c5]

I was wondering if anybody ever rides at Patuxent in Crofton anymore.I've heard nobody can ride back there anymore but then heard recently that you can.

[seatec]

You didnt do so bad yourelf RSTE440 for a guy recovering from a wrist injury and being a little under the weather. We had a good time and the video footage looks pretty cool. will compil;e and sho you soon. waiting on my new laptop.

[400exvette]

Hey all! I had a blast at Budds on Sunday :D . The first race on the 450r and I was quite surprised and happy. I got a decent holeshot and stayed out of trouble the whole race. Although, I did sort of run out of steam towards the end. Dan, Brian and myself were within 30 seconds of each other the whole race....sometimes as close as 5 seconds:eek: and only a few more seconds from the leader. Bummer to hear about your CDI thingie Eric....and Nick......I hope you are calmed down by now:p . I don't want to sound like a know it all, but I would suggest you try a twist throttle. Years ago, I had the same trouble you did and I eventually switched. It didn't take long to get use to it either! I am in O.K. shape for riding and I rode a KRaptor a couple weekends ago with a thumb throttle and after only a few short minutes, I could barely push the throttle :( .

Is anyone going to Oakland? Does anyone know for sure that they do run the quads first and at what time? It is a slim chance that I will go........ but, if all the planets align correctly and they really do run the quads early enough that I could get home in time to take the camper down to the beach then???????maybe

[Needa450]

Hey fellow Maryland riders,

Jeeze I just found this post and I read about 10 pages and then I clicked last and it said 97.:eek2:

So anyone been/going to Tomahawk MX? I ussauly go when I get a ride, or do not have any work to do. Im only 15 so riding at tracks is few and far between for me, but I have been to TMX 2 times so far and I met "pappy" 's brother up there and a bunch of his riding friends. If anyone rode up there on 9/12 let me know cause I probally saw you. I was riding the only black Raptor there, and I had black Hipers. I was also recording and got a wreck of some guy on a black 250R and I gave his friend the tape so he could make copy of it.

Anyways, just saying I had a great time up there and would like to go again, im willing to tag along, or maybe will plan something and I will try to find a ride up there.

Also im wanting to go to Budds creek and The landing MX but how much is it to ride? TMX is only 25 bucks and its from 10 to 5 on weekends. I heard The landing MX is something like 40 bucks to ride.:huh

O ya, I will post some pictures around next tuesday of TMX and riding up there.

[seatec]

Landing is about 33 bux

Doug,

Provided it is not raining to hard I think our normal crowd will be there. The quads do start at 11:00 and the I believe they have a website....www.topendproductions.com.

-JP

[250RXCrider]

Well I just talked to a buddy of mine and checked out the D-7 website and the HS race in Oakland has been cancelled.

[seatec]

hey Eric, wanna ride at sugar hill? bring your trailer because i want to bring both the Grizzly and the yfz so Matthew can ride.

[YLW400]

speaking of D-7.....this updating of the points is downright ridicolous...............starting to piss me off, and I haven't even raced in a month..But it would still be nice to see where I am at......

[Ericthered rdr]

Mabey Sunday morning early. Tommy needs some seat time on his new quad before his race up at FOTM. Hey you still need that painting done? I can do it on Wed. of next week.

[Pappy]

hope we can hook up sunday

[400exvet]

hey (250rxcrider) James....I would like to take you up on your offer and use your stock 450r rear shock. I am sending mine to GT Thunder to get their rebuild and XC link. Could you bring it to the GNCC in WV next weekend? I think I will be taking my mud tires for that race. We'll try to hook up with you guys out there. We are leaving Friday afternoon and staying at the comfort inn in Summersville. I have your cell #. Did you have any problems at Budds? tear anything up? later, Doug

Hey no problem on the rear shock, just remind me next week. The 450 ran well at Budds, I got a rough start, I think I need to get a little more agressive on the start. Budds is a fun race, but I like a Hs that is a little more technical and not so wide open. I have a tough time holding it wide open on those trails.

[cletusEX]

Sucks about Oakland but at least everyone should have enough time to get ready for WV. Doug, I think I might try a twist throttle over the winter. I don't really wanna switch now with all the races coming up. And yeah I've calmed down.:p I apolize for the language and all. I know your family was all right there. I was just looking forward to a good race. I had a decent start and was doing well and then to have my thumb and arm pretty much take me out of the race, was a little frustrating. I still have a lot to learn about racing. Anyways see you all in WV.

[Ericthered rdr]

Are you up for mud bogging???? I am not sure if I want to deal with all the mud tommorrow. I might go and see what it looks like.

BTW I bought a new Kasea 50 for Tommy and that litttle thing rocks. Now he just needs some seat time.

Who all is racing at FOTM. I am taking the kids agian. Should be fun.:D

[RUTHLESS]

CAN ANYONE GIVE ME DETAILED DIRECTIONS TO FOTM ON 10/3
IF NOT CAN I FOLLOW SOMEONE UP FROM THE BALTIMORE AREA?
THANKS

[400exvet]

It's in Neelyton, Pa. ...take PA turnpike to exit 13, 522 North, right 641 East,right Decorum road, 1 mile on left. If I remember correctly, the exit number has been changed recently?????so your map may call it a different exit but you'll see the rt. 522 and Decorum road is very hard to see. It looks like a lane between two houses. Great track, tight woods, lots of rocks and some mud. Make sure you have skids and they are bolted extra tight with lock washers!!!!! Someone else may be able to give you better directions....We leave out of North East and go up through Lancaster, but from Balt. you would go 83 to get to turnpike I think?

[Ericthered rdr]

Ruthless it is very easy to get there. 83 north to Harrisburg, get on PA turnpike west. Then follow the other directions from there. I should be at the MD/PA line about 6:30 am on 83 I want to try to get there by 8am because my kids are racing too.

Doug you bringing the family for this one too? I might be able to convince my wife to come if she knows other wives are going to be there.

Seatec are you gonna make this race bud?????

[Delaware152]

YLW400...You going to make it to the Seaford race this weekend?

[YLW400]

Heck if I know...I am a bum...lol I tried calling you back the othern ight, but you didn't answer.... I may come down with a cooler full of beer and watch you all race :p

[seatec]

Heck if I know...I am a bum

NO need to state the obvious here. :devil:

[YLW400]

:blah: is it that obvious Seatec?????

[Delaware152]

Watch us race...you need to race. I think you would do well. There were around 12 in the C. A local kid on a stock 400ex won the overall...stock a-arms and front shocks. lol I am not sure of his name but I have saw him there practicing quite a bit. It was obvious that he knew the track.

[seatec]

nah not that obvious. J/K

[YLW400]

I'll tell you what...If I get beat by the kid with the stock bike, I will quit racing.....

Seatec.....:blah:

[Delaware152]

I had a stock 400...pipe, tires and all...you remember. lol

[YLW400]

Yea, but I passed you :o :blah:

[pgregg85]

Whats up JC, if you dont wipe the dust of of that thing and race coors light isnt going to sponsor you again next year.

[jrspawn]

Well, if you do come down sunday with a cooler, i might have to check in with you, odds are ill just be spectating this weekend.

justin
jrspawn@aol.com

[YLW400]

Why only spectating this weekend?

[jrspawn]

Well, my front shocks are blown, or you could say they are fine, they just like 10 inches of sag in them:D And somhow from getting tangled up on this past sunday i broke a front brake line. Would anyone happen to know if a set of +3 250r brake lines would work with my +3 z400 front end, im pretty sure it will, just want to check. And i also want to take the time to go over the whole quad good, i've managed to find 5 new cracks in the frame and subframe just briefly lookin over it, so i need to get them fixed to. So i figured i would probably just watch this weekend, but you never know, i might go out and play a little out there.

justin
jrspawn@aol.com

[Delaware152]

The lines should work ok.

[D-7#61-450r]

Hey JC you seem pretty confident about beeting a stock 400, How about a stock 450. This is your home field and I was very supprized that you were a no show. The boy who won c is #21 Chris Tenney. The quad is actually a 440 with stock suspension.

[kwatts400]

I think I am going riding up in the coalhills in PA this Sunday with a friend of mine and Butch from B & B Enterprises. It will be interesting to see both of his creations in action. His newest is a 250r with a Ninja 636 engine :eek2: .

[Honda5]

Del 152 your wife is calling you , it's your turn to change your daughters diaper.!!!!!!!
I talked to her monday and she said you two didn't get much sleep!

[YLW400]

I've beaten stock 450's too, I don't see the problem:D

[jrspawn]

Man jc, everyone is just hating on our little 400cc bikes arent they?

:D

justin
jrspawn@aol.com

[YLW400]

That they are....but call me crazy, I see little 400's consistently winning "C" class:o :D

[Delaware152]

YLW400 is so fast I didn't even see him Sunday!!!

[YLW400]

:o Oh, but I was there!

[Delaware152]

BTW..The points were posted and you are still 4th. You could get at least 3rd if you went to some races.lol

[YLW400]

Was the before this past Sunday?

[Delaware152]

It was b/f last weekend but I don't think 5th was there either and 2nd is done for the year I think.

[YLW400]

If I feel energetic I'll make it...lol

[D-7#61-450r]

Yeah I have JC to thank for giving me second this year. I was planning on a hard battle for it but, well you know. 3rd is just about in anyone's hands. The guy in third is out, JC is in 4th , Raptor Mike in 5th. One or 2 races could make 3rd place. Budds will be fast this coming weekend especially with it being our 4th weekend in a row for racing.
I can definitly say that I do like seafords track. Alot of jumps but all are pretty safe.

[YLW400]

Merry Christmas early...Don't say I never gave you anything:D

[D-7#61-450r]

Well I'll take that gift. I was going to take it even if you were there.:blah:

[Ericthered rdr]

Oh and the smack is being talked up in the MX world. I guess it is time for the XC smack to start flying too. So who is going to FOTM? Don't make me go up there and whoop up on the D-6 boys all on my own:devil:
Doug you brining the kiddo to race? I will be there by 8am to get my boys ready.

[YLW400]

:p

[Honda5]

YLW400 a man of few words.

Nick......did you start working on your bike yet?

[400exvet]

Eric, I will not be bringing the family to FOM. Just me and Ron. Im not in to talking smack....sorry.
Nick, yea that was a good finish for Ron, what really sucks is that he could have finished even better if he didn't stop for gas on lap 2. We thought he was going to do 4 laps and didn't want to chance it on gas. He missed the fourth lap by only a couple minutes due to the pros making such smokin laps! I think he will soon be getting an oversize tank:D .
See you guys Sunday....bring your mud gear it looks like it will be a little messy. I picked up a set of those big elephant ear things that go over your hand guards, just in case;)

[YLW400]

My brother has a brand new clarke 5.5 gal tank for a 400 ex. He had one on his old 400 and it had a leak so he sent it back to clarke and they sent him a brand new one. it has been sitting in our parents garage for months. I'm sure he'll give him a good deal. See you guys at FOTM.

And no James I haven't started working on my bike.:D I have the jets and rear bearings. Just have to swap them in and mount up some tires and I'll be ready to go.

[outacontrol31]

holy crap this has to have the record for the biggest thread ever!!!, well i made my contribution. is there any that are actaully bigger, cause i dont' think there is

[Delaware152]

61..Don't make YLW400 mad!!! He may show up and want to race and that could be bad for you. This is getting good I hope both of you are in the same gate!!!

Happt B day JC. you dont look a hair over 40. :eek2: :devil:

I thought you said you were going straight to "A" class. J/K:D

I don't think we'd be much competition:( . Think they would let us ride in the 5 and under class? We might get a top three there.:p

I hope the same 187 i raced against last year shows up at budds creek this weekend and takes his postion in the points. Also we can end all this smack talking.I recommend a little side bet before the race$$$$ if you know what i mean.The weather down here is supposed to be perfect 68-70 degree high.Hope to see every one there.

[Honda5]

Happy Birthday Ylw! Tell your wife she needs to let you race this weekend. Wouldn't be a good birthday if you couldn't! No wonder we get along so good, Dave and my birthday are in Sept. too!

Beck

[D-7#61-450r]

Well JC we have got a good one going. If you are a no show again I hate to see the results on this thread. Between JT and 88 this is really getting deep.
JT this egging on might work 187 just might show up.

The only question left is will Del. clan show up. Because Fredericksburg will be there.

[jrspawn]

Well, ill be there sunday, ill see if i can get two clean motos for the first time at budds. Anyone know if they are running the track the same way as last race? Or is it reversed?

I'm just glad all us XC boys can get along.:p Is everyone planning on racing FOTM?

[YLW400]

Yo' Gary, what's up? :D Man they are baggin' on me in here dude, help me out! From the looks of it, I'll be there.

Beck, thanks alot for the Happy B-day! When are your and Daves?

My money is on YLW400...us Delaware boys stick together!!

[#88yfz]

J.C. glad to see your coming back after all i have seen you in front of me before on the gas.I also heard you had a harley now thats cool but don't forget about the dirt. As far as betting 152 Iwould say its an even heads up match this weekend, i think there will be other riders to contend with in there class for them also. Del 152 you should give cliff a call the doctor says he can come back i'm trying to talk him into it.

See ya'll sunday



P.S. That means you to 187!!!

[D-7#61-450r]

"My money is on YLW400...us Delaware boys stick together!!":o

Hope so JT, JC has left the Del. seen lookin thin lately.

Do you actually think we have givin 187 enuff grief to make him finally make a return to budds?

[jrspawn]

Hey, well the delaware scene has a few more riders, myself and a couple other guys will be there, JT i think matts gonna go into A class this time, we've been egging him on:D Hopefully it will turn out to be a good day for all us delaware guys.

justin

[D-7#61-450r]

Thats cool Justin what class do you run? and what # are you?

Terry

[Ericthered rdr]

I will be at FOTM by 8:30 am tommorrow. Hope to see everyone there.

[jrspawn]

Hey, i run the C class, im #22. Ill be there on a yellow Z with a gibson front end. Hopefully the weather will hold out on us for a good day of racing.

justin

[#88yfz]

187 and 61 great battle this weekend just as i suspected a good even battle. You guys desrtoyed the whole class in the second moto.Great race hope to see it again.

[YLW400]

Yes, I would have to agree...both going 1 and 1 for two motos.. Couldn't of been much of a closer race that's for sure....Good to see you guys again, I thought you may of forgotten who I was since I haven't been there in so long! :o :D

[Ericthered rdr]

Sounds like the MX boys had some fun this weekend!
I had a good time up at FOM. My boys both got second place trophies but dad came home empty handed. I had a slow first two laps and tried to catch back up the rest of the race and could only finish 4th. That was the rockiest slipperiest course. I can only imagine what my skids look like.
Nick how did that video you were shooting turn out? I tried to give you some action to shoot but I was not doing as well as hoped. Well it was good to see everyone again> Hope every body had as much fun as me.

[D-7#61-450r]

JC I hope you have as much roost to clean from the second moto as I do the first. What a great race that was yesterday. Nice to see you haven't slowed down any in your weeks off.
Well till next time great race.

Eric,

I just watched the video and Nick got some good footage, it looks like you were 2nd on the start.

-JP

[YLW400]

Yea,I think I am still picking it from different areas of my body :huh lol It was a good race, I just need to work on my stamina a little more it seems.. Ol number 5 was still talking a little poo after the second moto, did you hear that? "One more lap and i would of had both of you guys"

Hey it was good meeting you up there. Sorry I couldn't offer more of a challenge, but battery problems had me stuck till half way point. Still ripped off 3 laps.

[D-7#61-450r]

Yeah I heard #5 But I heard you the whole race. That was alot more truthfull than him needing only 1 more lap. 88 said we smoked the whole field. I have never ran that fast around budds. Now looks like the time to start running that fast B class is only 2 races away.

[jrspawn]

i gotta give both you guys credit(JC and #61) in the first moto you guys walked away from the rest of us, I got scored as 4th inthe first moto, but i could have sworn i passed #88 right before the white flag before the finish line hill. Once again budds bit me though, i guess i kinda fried my CDI box in the second moto, it kept shutting off and leaning out on power. If anyone isnt going to tomahawk, Blue diamond is having the delmarva series there, and we are gonna be racing on the Big dirtbike track( the one we were told a quad could never handle) So i think it would be pretty cool if we could get a good group together a show the little 2 wheel boys up, i know most of you guys are going to the dist 7 race, but like i said anyone who isnt, should definetly come out and play up to blue diamond.

Derno,

Were you on a blue C-Dale? I believe it may have been you trying to jump start it on line. It was fun racing up in D-6 territory, but that FOTM track is rough as hell.

-JP

[checkster]

Its looking like my son and I and a friend are going to try out the landing this sunday for the first time. anybody else heading down that way? Figured we would check it out before it gets to cold. see is i can hit a couple good jumps on the shee.

anybody? anybody?

check

[#88yfz]

Hey you guys the only thing #5 would have got ya'll was dinner. 187 if your not at tomahawk hope to see you at buddscreek again on october 24.Well 61 you don't have a choice your riding with me to tomahawk lol.I think jrspawn has me confused with #88 in c class.I'm #88 in b class moving to a class to eat roost.
I know what 152 has in store for me if i can ever get close enough to him in the other guys in the class.

Yup that was me. Battery took a dump. So took a while, but I got her going.

[YLW400]

Yea, I guess I am moving up a class next year to eat some roost as well...On my outdated 400EX..lol Can't wait :p

[Delaware152]

YLW400..You still planning on Seaford this weekend? I guess next year I will be moving to vet class!! My dad will like that...I can race 2 classes and get my old fat *** in shape.lol

[YLW400]

I'll be there!

[#88yfz]

I checked out the points update i see you moved into third and claimed your spot after this weekend good job. Looks like you will just have to show up at budds the 24.

[YLW400]

Wow, they finally updated them?? lol Thanks Gary.

Delaware, I may have to work this weekend, I should know more on Saturday though, I'll give you a call..

[D-7#61-450r]

187
If you want to claim third place your going to have to show up to Budds on the 24th. Gary and some of the other boys want a grudge match up there. They want 133,61,187,5 and maybe a few other fast boys in the same moto. If it happens we will have one hell of a show.

[YLW400]

I'll be there.. Sounds good to me

[D-7#61-450r]

Ya'll should have gone to tomahawk to watch Paul do the 90' table top. It was one heck of a sight. I wish I had my camera to get a pic.

Was he clearing the whole thing? I ride up there quite a bit and only have seen a few guys on bikes do it. Did they change the track to get a better run at it? That's pretty bad*****!

[#88yfz]

187 did you and 152 practice at seaford this weekend?I didn't get to see P.GREG jump it but i heard it was sick.Thats the downfall of B class you don't get to watch Aclass.I think it would be great to see the top riders in c class battle it out at the end of the year race!!! Your all fast. Jones even showed up at tomahawk he's thinking about coming back to vet class.See ya at buddscreek.

I guess it depends on what everyone else is doing. How did the I razors work?

[cletusEX]

Awesome. They are my new favorite tire. There were a lot of people having trouble on the hills and slick spots in Ohio but I didn't have any problems getting traction.

I know Brian isn't going this weekend but I'm gonna try and talk Dan into going. He's gotta if he wants to stay ahead of Doug.:D

[400exvet]

I'm pretty sure we will be going to Oakland. I think I'll be leaving Sat. night and staying in the van. Ron & the pit crew will be leaving Sat. morning and camping out there somewhere. Anyone know of any campgrounds close to the track? Dan, you better show up!! I do my best (i.e. most reckless, out of control) riding trying to stay in front of you.
James, Eric and Nick....you guys have a nice little battle going also!
Anyone have directions to the track? Later!

[YLW400]

Paul is clearing the 90ftr???:eek2: He ain't right! And Jones is back in the mix!?!?! Yo' Gary, I think J went to Seaford, but i had to work :( I am heading to Easton this weekend though..

[pgregg85]

It would be nice if someone got a pic of it. Cleatus, they didnt change the track, it is still the same short run out of the corner. JC you missed some good racing.

[YLW400]

Paul, you aint right...lol Are you the only one to do it on a quad?

[pgregg85]

So far Im the only one, Im sure others will attempt it now. Ill bring the video to Budds in two weeks so you can see it.

[Pappy]

i would have gladly been there.....but i was feeling a little better and spent the weekend filling my wood bins for winter.

you rascals could have come help cut and split and stack:devil:

[D-7#61-450r]

Pappy I'm glad to see you had the hatchet in effect this weekend. You helped to keep it away from tomahawk mx. Only one of our group got the Tomahawk chop this weekend. A broken axel is much better than broken bones. It was nice to come home from tomahawk injury free.

[#88yfz]

Bring the video to budds i'm sure everybody would like to see that a couple times. Everybody said it was sick looking.Ian was behind and saw it and said it was raw,good job representing fot the quad guys.I think some pictures should be posted of that.

Doug you can camp at the track or at the state parks nearby. I believe that the directions are on the D-7 message board. I won't be going. I think I finished off my shoulder last week puting on my sweatshirt my arm popped out of socket and has been very week since. I am going to let this one heal until Tomahawk. Good luck up there. That is on tight track!

BTW Paul you need to get your head checked.......90 footer:eek2: Next thing we will see you in the H-bomb flics!!!

[400exvet]

where was everyone? weather was perfect.....wet from 2 days of rain, 40 degrees and 40 mph winds. I was doing O.K. (top 3)until about half way through the 4th lap...hit one of many trees and broke the left wrist:eek2:. Finished the lap but couldn't do another. George and Micah were there...I think Micah got 1st or 2nd. George got a flat and only finished 2 laps. So, I think Micah wrapped up first for the season and the battle for second will be between George and Dan at Budds. I may be there to watch with Ron which is trying to stay in third in the vet class. I think I'll be out of commision for 6-8 weeks:( . Some time to get more goodies on the "R":D later

[seatec]

Sorry to hear about your wrist.

[Ericthered rdr]

Doug that sucks!!! That is one of the reasons I didn't go. It is a tight course and easy to get hurt there. I am nursing a sore shoulder and didn't want to take any chances. Where did you get your wrist fixed? Did you drive all the way home before you went to the hospital? Well good luck with your recovery. I hope it wasn't your dominant hand..... you might get a little lonely:blah: :devil:

[400exvet]

thanks seatec! hope all is well with you also.
I didn't get it all the way fixed yet.
Yea I drove part of the way and waited till I got close to home to go to the Emerg. room. Of course, the Dr. there just said yes there are broken bones in there. They put a temporary cast thing on it and said to call the orthopedic specialist today to get it fixed right:confused: It feels O.K. but the swelling is looking pretty ugly:grr:

Ahh I understand. I am awfully busy too. Tommy has football, Kacie is in cheerleading, Danny is in soccer, Amanda is on the swim and soon to be ski teams.... so I know how valuable time is. Hey just buy her a quad and and I am sure you will get to go riding one day.

Doug sorry to hear about your wrist and I hope you have a speedy recovery. I had to much going on this weekend and was unable to make it up, but the normal crowd will be at Budds. I need a good race at Budds to try to break into the top 10, I believe Nick has a few points on me. Hey if your right hand works well, we are always looking for someone to run the video camera :D

Catch you later,
