[Delaware152]

Don't bash the Mojave. That was my first race bike. There are a few people that remember. It would hang with a 250R

[jrspawn]

Hey, sorry bout that, got them mixed up. Wait a minute, i belive i once heard a story about someone else on this site that used to race a mojave, and he's pretty freakin fast. We all might be in more trouble ifthats the case:eek2:

1991 was part of my dirt bike racing erra. It was more like retro pink, purple, and green riding gear.

[FasterBlaster#4]

hey paul, nice to see you back on...how you feeling?

[Delaware152]

Paul...I think I still have a few sets in the garage. lol

[pgregg85]

I am feeling alot better. JT I think I threw my last two pair away a little over a year ago when I moved.

[jrspawn]

When do you think your gonna be able to get back out and ride paul?

justin

[pgregg85]

I think I might be able to ride in 2 or 3 weeks

[T.Hopp]

In case anyone in the Baltimore area is wondering. The Advanced Auto Parts in Chase (Carroll Island) has about 20 quarts of Mobile Red cap on the shelf. You guys may run something different but incase you did. $4.20 a quart.

[jrspawn]

Hey, just found out some of the qualifying spots in the GNC texas round today, they said it is a swamp there right now. But, Gil Attix qualified 4th in pro class, wich is awesome, im hoping for him to pull threw and get a podium, he had a lot of bad luck last year, hopefully he'll stay up top this year.

justin

[FasterBlaster#4]

Hey JRS you get your engine back yet....

Looks like more snow in the forcast boys :( Let me know how it falls over there on the shore, im not sure how much longer i can wait...

[#88yfz]

I heard there was around 8 A riders at budds today according to nick shupe.Some preety fast guys in the top 3 from what i understand.But more snow for this area this week.

[jrspawn]

Hey, finally got my engine back friday night, had my shocks sent out too, go them back saturday, and had the bike fired up saturday night, you dont know how good it was just to sit on that thing and kick for the first time again, i CANT wait to get it back on the track, the freakin engine feels tight. Ill see if i cant get some pics of it on here tomorrow night, with the makeover, all new fullbores, hood, handguards, bumper, and a bunch of other little add ones, its lookin pretty good i think. Ill be leaving not this wensday but next wensday for the florida GNC race, so im gonna have to find somewheres to get some seat time back on it and break it in this coming weekend.

So what happend up at Budds, How did nick do, was the track in decent shape?

[dcdent]

Shuppe DNF'd the second moto. I think I saw them towing his quad off the track. Track was really hard packed in the main lines and if you got out of line then you would get hung up on the berms. Other than that and the fact that half the track was cut out of the race it was in great shape. Pretty good turnout to.

[Delaware152]

88..Who were the fast guys there? It's not looking good for this weekend over there again. So far it's mostly rain over here so maybe Seaford will be open...you guys need to come over and ride if they are open.

[YLW400]

Hey, who is DCdent?

[dcdent]

#75 Quad C Henry Dent DC Firefighter

[chucked]

my buddy dave's 400ex (polished turd) and my beast 400ex. The one with fullbores is doctor rag's old 4 wheeler, (cleatusEX's brother)

[cletusEX]

Looking good man! Tell your buddy he did a good job with that thing.

well... it just LOOKS good, he doesnt take care of it... He's never cleaned the air filter, Its only been cleaned when I cleaned it (which was like twice) and its VERY muddy around here, so it wouldnt even start because it was so gunked up, and he would just think the plug was bad.... ok lets just put it at this, he's a dumbass...

Haha. Well it's a good thing he bought a 400ex. They are pretty indestructible.

[#88yfz]

I,m not really sure who the fast guys were some were from new york shupes dad told me.

[dcdent]

Licklighter was pretty fast, the top three were in a class of there own.

[#88yfz]

WOW some parts came into tonight::D Ian may have a brokem bone in his thumb but not the throttle side.

[D-7#61-450r]

It sounds like JT missed out on some milk money last weekend.

[dcdent]

I dont know if JT would of had anything for them or not. These guys were very fast.

[Delaware152]

Maybe they will be there again when I am there. I am sure it would be a good fun race.

[YLW400]

Has "DCDent" seen Delaware152 ride? :rolleyes: Evidently not......

[dcdent]

I've seen him ride plenty and I saw these guys ride. I don't think I said anything bad about no one, these guys were just head and shoulders above everyone else. I could be mistaken we'll have to wait and see.

[pgregg85]

I know who I would put my money on. I hope I am there if they come back as well. Extra competition is always welcome.

[Delaware152]

dcdent...No you didn't say anything bad. I like it when fast guys from other areas show...it makes things interesting. I think I can at least race with them I don't think they would leave me. It looked like the the fast locals were not there...85,88,76,46 and so on...and I heard Shupe was on his 400ex so he wasn't his normal self. I hope they come back when all the district 7 A is there and we can see what happens.

[YLW400]

yea, and I'll be drinking beer on the sidelines!:chinese:

[Delaware152]

You need to start riding and then race...points race in 3 weeks. It's time to start riding. Did you get your bike together?

[pgregg85]

Yea come on YLW400 get with the program.

[D-7#61-450r]

All I can say is drink up buddy!!!:D

[#88yfz]

sounds like it will be a big A class this year.

[Delaware152]

88...and one more in the vet.

[YLW400]

I missed your call last night Delaware.. I'll give you a ring on my one hour trip to school tonight! :mad:

[pgregg85]

I think we need to get Jeremy to create an atv anything goes class that has payout. That way most of us could run two classes.

[dcdent]

I definitly think you can race with them its that there really wasnt anyone else runnin with them last weekend

[Delaware152]

Hopefully it's not going to rain much tomorrow. I am planning on going to Seaford on Sunday....anybody else going? It is supposed to be nice...47 and sunny.

[#88yfz]

Finally building bike shocks came in today:D

[TWISTED]

Elkas?

[#88yfz]

Good guess long travel with linkage all the way around.

[jrspawn]

Hey Dealaware, Matt and i should be at seaford sunday, finally got my bike finished, so gotta break it in at seaford before we leave.

Justin

[FasterBlaster#4]

Hey Delware, i'll be up there tomorrow let me know if you guys get any rain, I cant wait to try out the new bike

[YLW400]

I am going to be ordering my clutch basket today, I miss it too much after seeing it yesterday.........

[YLW400]

Just ordered it, but Service Honda has to order it, so they said about a week..............

[Delaware152]

Get the salt and shovels it's going to snow a foot. lol It was good to see you but I didn't get to talk a lot...I was a little busy try to figure out what was wrong. I think dad and I are taking a road trip this weekend to get things straight.

[YLW400]

I hope not, I wanna ride again!! lol Yea it was good to see everyone, and be back around it again. Yea, you had a few things going on, I wasn't going to be over there buggin' you guys while you were doing your thing.. Just hope everything works out for you. That's what your dad said, I asked him if it was roadtrip time, and he said yea. Hopefully I'll be back in the scene here soon!!

[Delaware152]

I hope to be able to get one bike running right with a laptop. Pick up my race motor, fix one motor while we are there to bring back and leave one to be fixed. I don't know if it's something in the tranny or a crank bearing starting to go. I have to get things straight b/c racing is getting ready to start.

[YLW400]

All kinda of stuff goin' on! :D Hope everything gets back on track for ya for the season!!

[D-7#61-450r]

I like seeing everyone is waiting for parts just like me. I almost have everything now. And a trip to CT3 will complete the project.

[FasterBlaster#4]

Get to work boys...YLW400 will you be ready by sat.?

[YLW400]

no, cause they are saying a week, so that's next Monday.....

[FasterBlaster#4]

I think your scared...i know i would be, well if thats the case maybe you should find a bike for this weekend.

[YLW400]

Let me ride yours!:p :o :D

[FasterBlaster#4]

bring your gear, you know i dont mind...but there will be twist throttle on it by then i know your not down with the death grip

[Delaware152]

Looks like everybody is trying to go faster this year...that is what makes it fun. There was a kid at Seaford Sunday on a East Coast Yamaha. It looked identical to Gil's or Wimmer's...it was some young kid. I heard he was going to race some district and nationals...he looked like he was starting to get used to it by the end of the day.

[YLW400]

I'll still be riding POS 400 EX:o

Yea i heard about that kid, sounds like a nice bike but i think he needs to learn how to ride it. Im sure hes got a long way to go

[RTSE440]

We all gotta start out somewhere....some just have the good fortune to start out with deeper pockets ;)

[D-7#61-450r]

After spending that much money I hope he can afford to race. I thought maybe Trenga would be his quad builder this year.

[FasterBlaster#4]

Trenga is still a huge part, eastcoast and trenga kinda work hand in hand and share a lot of business. I got a pretty good deal and trenga agreed that this was well worth it. my pockets are no deeper than anyone elses, i just have my priorities strait ;)

[D-7#61-450r]

That awsome. Glad to hear your not playing with power wheels no more. Did you use your dirt wheels pic in your sales prop?lol

[YLW400]

:o Here we go

[Delaware152]

That power wheels must have had a big battery b/c I saw it out front quite a bit. I am sure he can put the extra 250cc to good use.

[YLW400]

I think it'll be an interesting year..:chinese:

[jrspawn]

Yeah, definetly gonna be an interesting year. I think im also going to try to attend all of the dis.7 races myself along with the nationals. I was gonna do the delmarva series again like last year, but after seeing no future at all in it for quads, and the attitude put towards us from them, i rather not give them any of my money. So hopefully all go's well in Florida this weekend, and ill be at Budds the following weekend, cant wait for this race season to kick off!

Justin

[cletusEX]

Man I'm glad I race XC, you mx guys seem to always be at each other.:blah:

[pgregg85]

full gates in every quad class would be nice to see

[YLW400]

Aint it fun Cletus?!! :D lol

I'm not even trying to hit all of the D-7 races, just a few when I feel like it .

Good luck to all of you guys heading to Florida!

[D-7#61-450r]

This is the only way to keep everyone coming to the races. If JC and I hadn't talked so much smack last year he probally would not have even come to Budds. Now I hope he comes to let the air out of Andrew's tires. So we have a chance.

[YLW400]

:p You do it one weekend, and i'll do it the next weekend...lol

[seatec]

Why do you figure is it that there a lots of folx doing Xc but only a relative few do MX? I think because MX is more intimidating. Maybe it's only my perception but it seems like more people get hurt in MX racing because some do (because of peer pressure) what they are not ready to do. I for one am a little leary of getting landed on by some rookie who doesnt know what he is doing.
Am i way off with these assumptions.

[D-7#61-450r]

Sounds like a plan JC.:devious:

Seatec peer pressure is a b@tch. You just race to your limits and you will be fine. as far as being jumped on if your worried about that most guys will already be in front of you if your not jumping, unless your ridding a Hummer.

[YLW400]

Seatec, the tracks in D-7 are pretty laid back...As far as getting landed on, that's going to be pretty hard to do. You can see over 99% of the jumps in the district..............hold on, I better shut up. I forgot about these other tracks being incorporated into the district...

maybe he should just move on to A class like Shoupe.:D Then JC and I can just have battles again.

[Delaware152]

That sounds good to me.

[pgregg85]

We would like to offer a warm welcome to anyone that would like to better themselves by advancing to the next level. The way it looks you can always go back.

[Ericthered rdr]

So when is the next race? I want to see you guys in action. I never got to catch any of the MX races last year. I might run at Budds just for a place to ride. I wont be competing just going at a fun pace. (not that I was fast before)

[#88yfz]

Everybody going to budds on the 20th,even you JC!I will be struggling to get the quad finished but i should be able to manage need some kind of points and practice.

[Delaware152]

88...I know how you feel about having something together. I don't have anything running now. Hopefully after Saturday I will have something together.

[#88yfz]

del152 i have the parts just need to get it together and tuned in thats the way it goes sometimes oh well once its together i'll have time to ride.

[Delaware152]

I hope I am getting all my bad luck over before racing starts. Hopefully by next weekend I will have two bikes running. It doesn't look like I am going to be able to ride this weekend...weather is questionable at best.

[D-7#61-450r]

it looks like mud or not I'll be riding somewhere.

[Delaware152]

No mud riding for me. I will stay home first. I am staying in shape by pushing my daughter around the house on her power wheels...look out in four years.

[D-7#61-450r]

I have got a couple new parts to dail in so I have no choice. It sucks to have to ride a freshly PC quad in the mud.

[#88yfz]

I can't believe your riding that new bike in the mud:bandit:

[Delaware152]

I guess that is the best way to break it in. Does the rest of your crew have things ready? I just hope the weather is good on the 20th so we can all have fun and race on a dry track.

[D-7#61-450r]

Actually I wish It would rain all next weekend just so I had another week to get ready.

[D-7#61-450r]

power wheels are done. look at the determination in his eyes.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/atvmafia61/Dsc00555.jpg

[Delaware152]

You had all winter it's time to race. It doesn't matter when the first race is you always need more time to get everything ready...at least that is how I am.

[D-7#61-450r]

Its amazing how fast time goes when your building a quad. I'll be there ready or not. Same as all of the Mafia.:devious:

[Delaware152]

I have a good picture to show you when I see you. She was 6 months old holding on to the handlebars sitting on it by herself with her THOR outfit on. She is a natural...you better start preparing him for when he gets beat by a girl. lol

[#88yfz]

I need time too!!Please snow and rain.lolCT3 is helping me out to get ready though.
Del152 i have a fast girl to:macho

[Delaware152]

If Seaford is open this weekend and it's dry you guys should come over here. Last weekend it was a little dusty. I'll let you guys know.

[D-7#61-450r]

Kids are great ain't they. Little things like that make you proud to be a dad. If I can turn his hatefulness into determination he will be ready for anyone.

[Delaware152]

Unless you have a child you have no idea how it feels. The funny thing was she would't smile for nothing. I said it was her "race face"

[D-7#61-450r]

one night next week I'll be at CT3 for a little while. You know tune up time. Hope it don't turn into last saturday putting in your timing chain.

[#88yfz]

I will be at CT3 as much time is needed to get my bike on the roll and hopefully some mid week practicing, don't want to be completely stiff on the quad.
DEL152 your daughter cutting any teeth yet!

[Delaware152]

88...Mid week practicing is not allowed. No teeth yet...my luck she will probably start next Friday and I won't get any sleep all weekend. lol

[D-7#61-450r]

88 you better start prayin for teeth.J/K JT:D

There are usually about the same amount of quads that show up for a D-7 mx race that show up for a D-7 xc race. I don't know what a GNC is like but there usually are close to 400 people at a GNCC. As far as getting hurt you can do that anywhere if your riding over your head.

[#88yfz]

Come on teeth they have waited long enough.lol
Mid week practice is very necessary this year.
GNC mx is agood 500 plus riders at every event.

DEL152 you coming to virginia for the district races this year?
I suspect you will be in a pro-am class at the nationals at budds this year right!

[D-7#61-450r]

smart man #4. I hope that JT has to work hard for his money this year. A few new quads and contenders to deal with.

[FasterBlaster#4]

I think i might have the perfect bike for all you guys with kids...Its a battery powerd Blaster ;) . Let me know if your intrested. Just be aware,on this bike your kids have a good chance of beating you...what do you think D-7...you've seen her run. Start the little guy of right. :D

[D-7#61-450r]

G thanks man. But he already has a ninja power wheels. You'll probally see him on it at Budds this year. Fresh gears in the rearend but a little traction problem not that that slows him down any. Just like some kid last year you would never know he was under powered.

[cletusEX]

We're all loaded up and pulling out for the Georgia GNCC. Should be there around 8 or 9 tomorrow morning. Wish us luck fellas!:)

[YLW400]

Tear it up Cletus!!!!


Hey Fasterblaster....remember last night when I told you my part was in got the quad? Well, it was some streetbike videos I had ordered, and someone thought it was my part...so , the basket is not here.....

[cletusEX]

Finally home after a 10 hour trip. The race was fun but I am in no shape to be out there for 2 1/2 hours.:p My brother got 6th in c 22-28 (37th overall), our buddy Brian got 7th in c 29-34 (65th overall), I ended up 27th in c 22-28. Both the quads and riders made it home safe so all in all it was a good trip. Looking forward to NC.

Andy got 8th in Pro and 9th overall
Mike Kyte got 4th in 4 Stroke A

[400exvette]

thanks for the update Nick. Congrats to you all for just being there and finishing. We'll see y'all at N.C. and then at Budds the following day.......right? :D Way to go Dan and Brian, those morning C classes aren't always full of C riders. I think there are alot of B and maybe better riders in there just so they can race the morning and then watch the pros. I'm gonna go check your times on the GNCC site and check out the old man's class and dream that I was there:p.

Nick, did you get your new suspension set up and did you get your twist on? Did you get the GTThunder rear and fronts reworked?

[cletusEX]

Yeah I put the new suspension on, but I didn't have time to set it up. I have to play with it a little. It helped a lot but still isn't like Elka. I'm sure once I get it dialed in it will be nice or if I can scrounge up a grand I'll put elka fronts on. So far I have been all right with the thumb throttle. It is a lot easier pull than my 400 was. I didn't have any problems with it yesterday and I was on the gas a lot. (everyone else was just on the gas a lot more:p ) As NC gets closer we'll have to talk and make sure we pit together. And I'm up for hitting Budds on the 3rd. That is the VCHSS race and it usually consists of the flat track and the mx track.

[Ericthered rdr]

Hey Nick good job and glad everyone made it home safe. I will see you all on the 3rd

[seatec]

anybody get to ride this weekend?

[D-7#61-450r]

Hey man, I see you have been doing good. Yeah I'm runnin B this year. I've been busy trying to get this quad together, last minute problems will get you. I'll be there this weekend ready or not. You'll be able to tell it's me I'll have duct tape holding my arms to the bars to hold on.:D

[jrspawn]

Well, im finallyback from the FLorida GNC race. Wow, it was crazy. By the second practice on friday, it was already like racing on concrete. The track is all lime based dirt, so the hole weekend it was packed, probably would have gotten better traction with TT tires:eek2: At the end of the second practice on friday i had a pretty bad crash, instead of having it in 4th gear on a downhill style double, i somehow had it in fifth and was pinned towards the jump, not until i was in the air did i realyze this. i was also downsloped very badly and couldnt get it back with panic reving. Ended up being smashed down under the quad then rolled a few times. Got some pretty nasty bruises, cuts, and a chipped tooth. but no broken bones. I satout the final practice friday, then on saturday on went out for 4 stroke C, i got last gate pick on the very outside and got pushed out pretty bad on the start, ended up qualifying 8th. In the main on Sunday i got last gate pick agian and accually got out in the tope half, but on the second lap my bike began to overheat for some reason, i was able to baby it threw the race and finish only pushing it on some of the jumps tokeep from being dead last, i believe i ended up 14th in that moto. The weekend was a blast though. Seeing John Natalie pull over a 20 second lead on the class in moto 1 was unreal. Cant wait forthe next national.

[YLW400]

Did you al lget any pics Justin? It sounds like you had fun at the very least!! Hope you aren't too busted up too badly!!

[seatec]

Glad you are in one piece (sort of) and had a good time.

[pgregg85]

Seatec, come on out to budds Sunday. It should be a very exciting day of racing after a long winter of trash talk on here.

[seatec]

Paul, i really want to check it out and walk the course and see in how much trouble i can get riding on that track. lol

[YLW400]

No Seatec, you won't get into any trouble out there, it's alot of fun though.... pretty tame actually.....:ermm:

[jrspawn]

Hey, im hoping to have some pics tonight on here, got a few good air shots there, there was a pretty decent size double right in the front that made for good pics. Hopefully ill be able to look into why it overheated and fix that, im wanting to hit budds up this weekend.

Justin

[trxbill450r]

hey paul will u be able to race this weekend at budds because of your collar bone or w/e???? I went to the landing mx last saturday and talked to the guy who bought dustin wimmers old yfz and he said u guys were going to go to seaford and ride the next day, but then i got confused cause i wasnt sure if u were still out or not

[pgregg85]

I am going to race at budds Sunday. Seaford this past weekend was my first day back riding since I reijured my shoulder.

[trxbill450r]

o ok how was seaford sunday. The landing was in really good shape except for a few wet spots other than that it was nice. Man it did get a little windy though. i felt it blow me around in the air a bit. Paul will u be at budds this weekend for the points race sunday?

[D-7#61-450r]

By the looks of things there are going to be about 40 plus c riders at Budds this weekend. I predict 3 motos of C. I'm glad I get to watch them battle this year.
Paul glad to here your up and riding again. The mafia has been busy this week, alot of time at CT3.

[cletusEX]

Anyone up for Tomahawk this weekend? They had a race this past Sunday so the mx track is probably in decent shape. I have to get in shape so I'm probably going to try and get out both Saturday and Sunday.

[pgregg85]

Cletus I might go to Tomahawk on Saturday for some practice.

[400exvet]

Nick, we may be heading up to Tomahawk Sunday! Of course, if the weather holds out:D . We need some seat time to get ready for the Steele Creek GNCC. Its still just too wet around here to get any good riding in. Our practice track is in a wet swampy area that is now just a freekin mess:( . I don't think I'm going back to the New Jersey pit/swamp either. I'm gonna go freekin nuts if I don't get some good riding/racing in soon :blah: . I even thought about racing the MX at Budds this weekend but that may be too much, too quick?????? later

Yeah we'll see what the weather does. The woods track at Tomahawk stays pretty dry. I also was thinking about racing Budds on Sunday but thought better of it with the GNCC season starting up. I would hate to get hurt and have to sit out the season.

[#88yfz]

Might be there still building bike alot to go yet,lots of late nights.

[YLW400]

Got my clutch basket in the mail the other day.. Now I just need to get off of my fat, lazy keister and put it in :o

[Delaware152]

YLW...it's time to start riding. Get the 400 ready. I finally have three bikes that run...one is not complete but it does run. I just have to switch some parts around. Hopefully the weather holds out. I am looking forward to this weekend.

[YLW400]

Just let me borrow one yours! :D :devil: :blah:

[Delaware152]

I don't know if you can handle the C-Dale...it's not a 400ex.

[YLW400]

POS :o :D

[Delaware152]

It was when you saw me last but it's good now. I can't wait to try the new motor. I think you would be scared of it now.

[YLW400]

Scary is good!:D

[400exvet]

I am down with Tomahawk this Sunday...lets go!

Lettttts GO! :macho . We will definately be there, bright and early Sunday morning. Unless it rains really hard. Ron just did a bunch of work to his quad so he will be adjusting and tightening throughout the day. I haven't done crap to mine so I will be pretending that Iam adjusting stuff but really I am catching my breath and resting so I can appear to be in shape :D and hanging with you young pups. We'll probably bring a grill and some dogs and burgers for some mid day snacking.

[cletusEX]

Looks like a go for Tomahawk tomorrow. Pappy said the track is in awesome shape so any of you mxer's not racing budds should come out to Tomahawk.

[YLW400]

How did Budds' go this weekend?

The results are up on Budds Creek website.

[YLW400]

Wow, they weren't playin' around! That was quick!

[pgregg85]

JC are you ready to dust the cob webbs off the 400 this weekend

[YFZdave450]

any1 goin riding this weekend.. i was thinkin bout easton or seaford or maybe just goin to a friends track and riding. itll have to be satrurday cause my mom fliped when i asked if we could go riding on sunday she was like bla bla ur goin to church.. lol

[pgregg85]

If Seaford is open I am going there on Sunday. I might ride somewhere on Saturday as well.

[YLW400]

Man, I'm heading back to WV this weekend to do the Easter thing, I won't be able to this weekend. But I'll be back out there soon !!:D

[pgregg85]

Its going to come down to us dragging you out of the house isn't it.

[MarylandATVcom]

see rule #5

[D-7#61-450r]

JC I sure could have used your company this weekend. Out of shape B riders last place battle. I did get to push a east coast atv off the track, but that killed my weekend.
Did everyone notice that probally a 1/3 of riders at budds were on quads. They had 18 motos schedualed and only raced 12. The quad motos were all pretty filled to.

[MarylandATVcom]

see rule 5

[pgregg85]

Is anyone going to ride this weekend?

[Delaware152]

Paul...If it doesn't rain much today and tonight I may go to Easton on Saturday. The weather doesn't look good but looks even worse for Sunday. It's looks like this could be my only option.

[YFZdave450]

im tryin to go down to easton 2morrow too.. i havent been there in a long time and maybe see what the expert tracks like

[pgregg85]

Do you think eaton will be good enough to ride at with all this rain we have been getting?

[YLW400]

Ahhh, what's a little mud goina hurt? :o :D

[Delaware152]

I will try to call or check it out tonight. I was hoping the rain would miss today but it has already started. Maybe it won't amount to much today.

YLW400...I don't mind a little mud but I don't want "The Landing Contrete" on my bike.

[YLW400]

Yea, it's spitting here too..

you need a sandblaster to get that stuff off!!

[pgregg85]

I don't want to pay $75 to ride in the mud at Eaton.

[Pappy]

i rode over to tomahawk to check conditions, muddy:p

[pgregg85]

Pappy I was up in the Martinsburg area yesterday checking on a job and everything was a swamp. Did it look possible for Tomahawk to even be open?

[Pappy]

lol..my brother is working the gate as we speak:p

there was about 20 riders there at last check. muddy but not the worst conditions ive seen folks ride.

[#88yfz]

anybody riding anywhere or is just to muddy.

[Delaware152]

88..Can't tell you know you are racing against me. lol It doesn't look good for tomorrow...supposed to rain all day. I was hoping it would wait until late in the day so I could ride at Middleford.

[#88yfz]

Yeah rainy and muddy down here to looks like i'll have to miss day this week to practice.Need the the practice still tired and rusty.

[Delaware152]

I was lucky today. The rain held off and I was able to ride at Seaford. There was hardly anybody there so there were only two classes. The bad thing with that is you ride for 15 minutes sit for 15 and back again. I wasn't going to ride but Donald Lysinger came down so I had a very fast target. lol

[#88yfz]

I wasn't to lucky just running around with easter eggs this weekend.But should practice this week!U heading to va this weekend?

[Delaware152]

That's the plan. Probaly going to do vet this weekend also

[TWISTED]

Where is the race in Va this weekend??

[Delaware152]

Southfork

[trxbill450r]

anyone know how the track is setup

[#88yfz]

The track is kind of sand and quad friendly whoops and a couple doubles

[FasterBlaster#4]

i take it no one is heading to georgia this week? Im heading down thurs. If anyone is going let me know. Good luck to everyone heading to VA this weekend. Delaware, take it easy in Vet class, i dont want you getting into anything that may be over your head.:D

[YLW400]

You gotten in any seat time Blaster? Give me a call tonight if you aren't doing anything....

[jrspawn]

Hey blaster, did you make it down to the Florida GNC? Im not gonna be able to make the georgia race, but ill be back for virginia and the rest. Im thinking about hitting easton up saturday and going back for the race on sunday there.

Justin

[#88yfz]

I wont have Paul and JT holding my hand this time. :D Any how, i will try to keep you guys posted and let you know whats going on with the Big Boys, and let me know what goes on in VA.

JC tried to call last 2 nights but i think its been little past your bed time. Give me a ring Tomarrow night.

[pgregg85]

Sorry to hear about the KFX being gone.:( You should pick up a nice 4x4. They are awesome for just cruising around and some of the newer ones still have some ***** for when you wanna drop the hammer. Or just wait a few years and then pick up another sport quad. By then there should be some nice new quads out. Anyways, I still hope to see you at some of the races. The kids still going to race?

[journeyman]

Just wanted to say hi to everyone....Just fond this site today and was suprised at all the post in the Maryland thread...I live in cambridge.Just bought a nwe 05 400EX about a month ago...havent done much to it yet but got some plans in the works..I see people posting about the landing in easton...I didnt even know there was a place to ride over there...can someone give me some details???thanks alot and ill definatly be back!

[Ericthered rdr]

Nick I might be at the Tomahawk team race on the 10th and yes the boys will be racing. I will still be around at the races:macho

Journeyman welcome to the board. Easton is an awsome MX track. They have tracks from mild to holy chit!

[cletusEX]

Originally posted by Ericthered rdr

A streetbike would be sweet but with all the idiot drivers out there a quad would be a lot safer. Good luck with whatever you get. By the way what offset are those hiper fronts? My brother might be interested if they are 4+1.

Anyways we are pulling out for the Nc GNCC race shortly. Should be a good but muddy time. Then we are hitting the Budds HS on Sunday. Monday morning is gonna suck.:p Wish us luck!

[FasterBlaster#4]

Finally made it down to good old Echoconnee about 15hrs later. I couldnt wait to get out there and practice but come figure we got 4 inches of rain today. NO PRACTICE! sucks i know but it looks like tomarrow is going to be much better and the races must go on! Pulling into the pits we got stuck twice with a F350Turbo desil, ( that should give you an idea of how bad it is right now) The track is all sand and everyone says it will be in great shape, i guess well see. :confused:

Eric i read your post about quad or street bike, I had a '03 ZX6-R. Street bikes are def. fun and they seem more practicle, much cheaper plus you can ride them everyday. I ended up totaling mine thurday of last week. I was very lucky but what ever you choose make sure your careful, lot of idiots out there.

Any how, i will let you guys know whats going on as long as i can find an internet connection.

[Ericthered rdr]

my crotch roket days are over!!!!! I had a GSXR750 back in the early 90's. If I get a streetbike it is gonna be a Hog. I am still gonna get a quad but if I do it will most likely be a ute. Who knows I might show up at the next race with a new Suzzie 450 when they come out.;)

[YLW400]

Congrats to Faster for taking 2nd this weekend in open C class at the national!!:muscle:

[cletusEX]

All you mx guys would have loved Budds HS Sunday. It was a 20 lap mx race. The woods were "too muddy for quads", so Beasley had us do 20 laps on the mx track.

[YLW400]

20 laps?????????????????? I would of died after lap 4 :o

[Delaware152]

That's the only way I could possibly finish decent at a harescramble. lol I am sure the mx track was in good shape. lol Could you even make it up all the hills?

[cletusEX]

Originally posted by Delaware152

Actually the track was in great shape. He had bulldozed it in the morning after the rain. They cut out two hills in the back and ran you along the tree line instead. I was pulling 2nd and 3rd gear up all the hills. I would have rather been in the woods, 20 laps on a mx track is kinda boring in my opinion.

[D-7#61-450r]

we should have let the woods boys go to southfork and us to budds. what a way to get ready for the nats.
Congrats to Faster you sandbagger! you better run B class at budds.:D

[FasterBlaster#4]

Dont you worry D-7. . .

[400exvet]

hey Nick, Did you read about the weather they had in N.C. on Sat. night? Glad we left when we did huh!
I found some pics of the Budds fiasco on Sunday. (http://www.photoreflect.com/scripts/prsm.dll?EventFrame?event=04DE003Z).
I actually had a good time, of course placing well always helps that :D . We'll have to race a couple of MX's this year just for something different. It was fun running the 20 laps on the MX track...... quite painfull too. Especially, after the GNCC on Saturday. I hurt the worst yesterday evening when I was trying to clean everything up. We had a good time overall for the weekend even with all the rain, wind and mud:D . I was going to ***** about the lack of district 7 support at the Budd's race on their web site, but they don't have a forum anymore (imagine that!). I think the VHSS crew did well with the circumstances they were dealt. The track thing was completely out of their control. We probably aren't going to the S.C. GNCC, so good luck! Good racing with you guys again! Tell Brian I still feel bad about running into him...it was completely unintentional and the side of his axle that broke is not the side I hit :devil:

[cletusEX]

Yeah I was looking for somewhere to ask D-7 why no one showed up. Just goes to show you that D-7 is a joke. I don't even know who are rep. is anymore. Oh well I still had fun.(I'm glad I decided to race.) Glad I was in C class you guys up there in B are ruthless.:p Just kidding man, we were just joking with ya about bumping. Everyone bumps a little. It was just funny how Brian's wheel fell off.:D My brother and I love giving people $hit, so don't take anything we say serious. The next D-7 race is at the end of the month so maybe we'll see ya there.

[DoctorRags]

Well I didn't find anyone in particular to yell at, but I send an email to two people from District 7. I'll see if I get any response. I basically told them the points are wrong on their website, Budds Creek was a "disgrace" (that was the word used) and the points are all messed up b/c VCHSS didn't know how to count to 20. They had lappers ahead of people on the results.

We'll see what happens.

[armoks]

Man I wish I would have made it to Budd's on sun i didn't think they were going to run anything because of the high water we had in southern MD:mad:

[D-7#61-450r]

You going to danville for the nat. Nick Shoupe and I are going. Just wondering who else is. I know alot of people are backing out.

[YFZdave450]

we were thinkin about goin to nationals at danville but we came to realize that we want my first national to be at budds. also any1 who knos who i am or has seen me ride.. should i run B or C class. also what classe(s) are u runnin in nationals?

[FasterBlaster#4]

i'll be there big guy, i will catch up with you guys early next week, maybe we can come up with a game plan

[jrspawn]

Hey, I'll be there in virginia also, along with matt, jay, and nick. When is everyone else heading out to go down there? I think we are just gonna head out thursday night after work. You heading down Paul?

Justin

[pgregg85]

No, I am not going. I am not ready for the nationals yet. I can't even last two motos at a local race. I am going to practice and save it for the budds national.

[#88yfz]

I'm one of the guys backing out to stay around here and practice and wait for buddscreek.Like paul i'm not ready for the nationals myself need more time on the quad.
Yfz dave u run b in the districts run b at the nationals and 16-24 class u will learn and get faster.

Oh yeah d7#61 see ya at practice be ready to get pushed!!!!!!!!!!

[MarylandATVcom]

This Sunday there is a 3 hour- 2 man Team race at Tomahawk. Has anyone ever run this Event before? I dont see a whole lot of info on it? How are the Quad classes broke down? Track lay out? Etc. Etc. Any info would be great! Im thinking about running it? ~coop
