    we should have added some start practice to the drills on Sun. all three line up, count off and hammer it. would have been good for me

    ^^ you can still register at MX338, Friday 5/27 5-8pm or Saturday 5/28 630-8am

    all classes were still available on 5/22, so I doubt they filled up

    but shiiiett...practicing starts? there's technique to starting a bike besides revving the shit out of it, dumping the clutch, trying to gain traction to ride, and trying not to wheelie?

    It can be tough to go straight out of the gate and into a rut while shifting gears and trying not to hit the guys next to you... Starting in 2nd gear helps. It takes practice.

    6 fingers, I was just askin about you. Hope you can make it!

    Thanks Paul E, 99 percent that we will be up.

    I start the 450 in second, realy havent found a hell of a lot of uses for first in that bike unless im in the woods... The 250 could go 1st or second and bouth could go way wrong. Practice is defintly a good idea.. I tried launching the road race bike in second in the rain last LRRS round... Bad idea.

    Thumb is kinda fucked. Road mx 101 with it yesterday. I was clearing the big double wich is a sighn that it is healing but it's still kinda like riding one handed. I think i need surgery, but not before southwick.

    Are you going to be riding???

    6 Finger, hope to see you there! you were jammin' last year...

    yes, starts are tricky and worth practice. the pad is concrete at Southwick as well. worst you can do is launch too soon and get your wheel under the gate. you don't want to do that

    fucj...then Mr. Biggity, Kurlon, and Type1 - don't gate next to me in never ever.

    I am 90% sure that from me, there's going to be an uncontrollable power wheelie, flailing legs, the scream of a pinned/redlined 2-smoke, and a bike going left and right out of the gate while I'm bumping into neighboring bikes hoping to stay upright...then take them all out...and can't stay upright anyways after getting stuck in a rut.

    I say we all line up in the same gate, single file, fastest to slowest. That way, what could possibly go wrong?

    we will be called based on previous moto for your gate pick. the better you do the previous moto, the better your pick... although i dont remember how the very first moto gate pick works (?)

    and remember your practice ticket! that stupid ticket is easy to lose, you need it so tuck it somewhere you wont forget or lose. the nerves always make me blank and it sucks to jam back to the pit to find it.

    starts?
    My technique is to wait for everyone else to go, then I go.
    I usually pick up a couple of spots just due to attrition.

    What's the deal with the waiver? It says at the bottom it must be notarized if you are under 18...

    I don't remember if I sent dave a waiver, but I surely didn't have it notarized. I'm assuming I can just sign one at registration???

    t1: that is carnage! I'll try to practice sometime soon, and see how my starts fare...otherwise attrition method via single file is cool with me, haha

    Paul: did you get an email confirmation about them receiving your waiver? If not, then bring a notarized waiver with you per this email:

That means your slacker asses owe me not only a signed and notarized waiver when you check in but I am putting a beer tax on it for my staff who has to now hold your hand - 6 pack minimum. Oh, and I like Captain Morgan "
    but even then, I would even go sofar as to say you're not the only rider without a notarized waiver, and still hoping to ride this Saturday. So if you can, get a notarized waiver, but worst case scenario you can try to sign it in front of him and his team during the registration

    Exactly, If you are not good in Launching a dirtbike in 2nd,Don't There is going to be a Huge crash in turn 1 and turn 2. If you launch in first you will come into these Pile ups composed and ready to race.

    Waiver has to be notarized period. You'll have to wait till the day of to sign at registration now I think?

    Re: STIMILON 2011 !!! May 28/29 MX338

    Oh, and as a reminder for those who only ride once a year:

    Gas now contains ethanol, not MTBE. The red Sta-bil no longer works. You must buy either marine grade (blue/green) that is approved for ethanol or the new orange Sta-bil (or equivilant brand) that is approved for ethanol. Ethanol will eat rubber and cause gas turn to sludge in your carb if it is not treated.

    Just saw a fuel pick-up from a Stihl saw that was melted and had to be replaced. Not cool.

    That's what I picked up today from a small engine repair shop. The orange Sta-bil is formulated from that.

    He also sells little cans of raw gas (no ethanol). Good for winterizing snow-blowers and mowers. Some use it in their saws.
