I thought it was Jim Ivey that took to photo of the bikes scattered on the hillside.  

Great pictures!  

I like the 3D moose head ones.  

I don't like cold water and sure don't care for swimming where man is not supposed to go.

Great to see them do well though!!!  

Won't be racing.  Busy week.  No time for bike maintenance.  I'll be out Saturday spectating and giving support.  Sunday? Ya, I'm married.  

I'll be there racing smashed pipe or not.  :lol: Can't wait for my first Dual Euro Scrambles.

I'll be there racing smashed pipe or not.  

Dunno yet.  Definately not racing.  Got a nice dinger to my pipe this weekend.  That's my excuse.  Might be there for support though.  

Thanks to all that helped fuell me in the pits!!!  Hal, Jerry, Shelby, Jeff.  Hope I didn't forget anyone.  Had a fun time.

Congrats to Kevin Sweet!!! Faster than stink.  

Way to go Brett and Kevin!  

I'll be there.  Hopefully I'll have my district numbers by this week.  

I would love to go, but have too many things to take care of this weekend.  

Entry fee was $38.  

FAST! FAST! FAST!

I think I used third gear one time on the first lap, then it was fourth and fifth the whole race.  My average speed (according to results) 39.2mph.  The race started on a dirt/asphalt rode and went straight for what seemed about three miles, then made a left and went down a fast quad track that did get whooped out a little toward the end of the race.  It was basically laid out in a square.  9 miles in length and two hour race.  It was a little on the fun side since I'd never done a race that fast, but wished it was a little more technical.

I did talk to Lou Peralta after the race and he said he'll be trying to change things up a bit for next months race.  He is limited on what terrain he can use.  The turn out was not that great.  Only about 50 riders, but I thought it was cool that Chris Blais came out and spanked us all.  I placed 17th overall in my first race as a novice.  That Bill Maxim guy can haul but!!  So does Dal Trubey!

He plans on having a few night races in the summer also.  Kind of cool.  There were finisher pins given out which I think was nice.  I really like the two hour race format better than the 45 min Big 6 GPs.  If he can get some better terrain, I'd be just like the old GPs.  My KX500 barely had a drop in it at the end of two hours.  Might need to think about refueling next time.  

Might as well bump yourself to Novice.  Same price and you get to ride more!!  Plus, I don't think the beginners go that much slower than the Novices.

Your right about that Erich.  Everytime I've raced it's been in Beg class and I finish towards the rear, but I don't feel comfortable racing another year in Beg class.  I sure don't crash nearly as much as I used too!
