[SGA]

Very good pics Pappy. You definatly have a knack for photography.:)

[spincr4hire]

[Pappy]

i do my best:devil: i geuss me riding the 50 thru the first turn paid off:eek:

[Taco]

Lol the only reason for me to race is I get cool pics to look at cause it sure isnt b/c of my great finishes:mad:

[Pappy]

another of wex300

[Pappy]

can you taste the mud yet:confused:

[Pappy]

this may be wingnut (wil cashion)

[Pappy]

it was hard to get decent woods coverage from where i was positioned. the dense foliage and bright sun combined to create a metering nightmare

[Pappy]

i thought this shot was pretty cool

[Pappy]

any lower and id be traction:p

[Pappy]

hey its that taco guy again:D

[Pappy]

the field sections are great for getting pics, without getting roosted either:p

[Pappy]

clean predator

[Pappy]

there were quite a few "R's" running at Steel Creek

[Pappy]

400ex's were still the most numerous

[Pappy]

and the 400ex's are still highly competitive in most classes

[Pappy]

after the first lap alot of the field spreads out

[Pappy]

the Z400 crowd was out in full force

[Pappy]

anudder R:macho

[Pappy]

plenty of raptors there also

[Pappy]

i wonder how he only managed to get 1/2 his quad roosted:p

[JDiablo]

keep um coming pappy....i liked that one pic with that lil wheelie:macho

[Pappy]

i wonder what the deal is with this riders bumper?

[Pappy]

this might be wyndzer.

[Pappy]

i think this is another shot of wingnut

[Pappy]

now doesnt that look fun:blah:

[Pappy]

the 450's were deffinatley getting the job done

[Pappy]

lots and lots of v-force's in gncc racing

[Pappy]

this was a cool corner for pictures.

[Pappy]

some riders used the open section to haul ***...others used it to relax sore arms and catch a breath

[Pappy]

another 450R throwing some roost

[Pappy]

the yfz pilot pulled over and rested for a second. he looked pretty damn beat

[Pappy]

id say by the summer break the 450R will take over its reign in gncc racing

[Pappy]

id love to take a v force for a few laps. they seem to be well suited to this style of riding

[Cody_300ex]

Awesome pics pappy!!!!!

[Pappy]

i liked the carbon v-force

[Pappy]

and the v force sounds pretty wicked with a set of pipes:p

[Pappy]

i like the really close in shots.

[JDiablo]

you have a pic of the vforce with the carbon when it was clean ?lol or nah

[Pappy]

i would have liked to have shot this corner when the pro's ran, but the sun was in a different spot and it would have been too dark

[Pappy]

this yellow YFZ looked real sweet

[Pappy]

the infamous Airdaddy putting his 450R to work:macho

That's me after my 20 minute pit stop, heading for the second lap only to make it 5 miles and my quad shut down:mad: :mad: I even forgot to put my chest protector back on.:huh

[Pappy]

it gets real crazy when 3 or 4 quads all want to be infront of one another:p

[Pappy]

hammerdown:macho

[Pappy]

He just got back from Bike Week and thought grips were for sissys and that he was going for a more radical bar position.

OR

He wrecked and lost his grip.

I'm with you man, i bet outta the 3 laps i completed, each lap i wasted 5 or 10 mins waiting for a freaking trail to clean out so you could get thru. some of those guys think you could just put put in first gear up those hills or something and then they messed it up for the rest of us :grr:

[Taco]

No prob man.;) I agree with ya there I wasn't afraid of any hills, but nearly everytime I went up after someone they stalled or hit nuetral and I lost momentum. I finally just let them get a little lead up the hill just in case. I look forward to meeting you off the track.:cool:

[jja125]

i was sitting at the bottom of one hill on my third and final lap watching about three people stuck half way up and stephanie parton blew by me and dodged all three of them on the way up so i just followed her line and got through it.......... and then thanked God she lapped me cause i don't think i could've done another lap. :D

my hands look just like the ones i saw on the pics earlier except my blisters all turned black overnight :eek2:

that track beat the crap outta me and my quad.

i was wondering the same thing

[CBRSLIDER]

Looks like a homemade tool kit. Nothing like having some tools out there at the 9.5 mile marker and your shifter is rattling off. Or you get something in your tire and can just stuff a plug in it instead of riding for half a lap with a flat.

Ray

[Hotdog]

Ray,

Are you going to Rausch Creek? There is around 7 or so that are racing in my group. Hope to see you there.

That's a six pack rack. I am thinking about doing the same thing
to carry an oxygen bottle and I.V.

[Karizz]

Great Pics Pappy, that was me in pic 2 and my buddy Jeff in pic 8 on your second batch of pics there....

[SGA]

Pic #6. Its a piece of 4" PVC pipe with a screw cap on each end, he has 2 of them mounted behind the bumper. Its a good idea to keep "get home" tools in. He prob rides in the middle of nowhere on his quad.

[jja125]

hey pappy i can't believe you didn't get any pics of me dodging the wooden stakes on the start line. i had to line up to the outside of them and now i don't even remember what i did. my only choice was to either cut to the inside of them or run right up the outside and then cut over, but i don't remember what happened. they really ought to pull them out after each class takes off.
