Crow Hill...Saturday....10-20-07

[knobby]

Hitting up Crow Hill again on Saturday..10-20-07. Anyone here care to join in, and get dirty at a great track?
Southwick is also having a practice day on the 20th, and figure many will go there instead....maybe.

[Paul_E_D]

Dammit! I'm working MSF again. I'm thinking of hitting it up tomorrow though... not to steal your thread, but anyone think they can sneak up there?

[knobby]

After a little research, it seems there is a Transworld Mini race at Crow Hill on Sunday the 21st. That may make the 20th not a good day to be there. Now I'm thinking not to go on the 20th for that reason.
I'd be up for tomorrow Paul if I wasn't already signed up for Southwick this Sunday. Thread is yours Paul.

I don't think minis are allowed on the track on Sat. Check the Crow Hill web page. Sunday will be ALL minis only.

[Paul_E_D]

Looks like I'm not going tomorrow. May go flying instead...

Hmmm....thanks. I'll have to check into that one. I may just have a smile on my face after all....

[Kurlon]

I should be there sunday on my mini if anyone wants to bang bars with me.

I'm pre-reged in Fatboy and Senior classes for Sunday.

What about the 27th? Anyone up for riding then? Might be a little chilly, but it'd be a damn good time. (As long as the dirt isnt frozen by then).

[Paul_E_D]

Yeah, I'm in for the 27th.

[knobby]

I can't do the 27th, but I'm sure the dirt will be fine. Also decided to go to Southwick practice day on the 20th instead of Crow Hill. After racing Southwick yesterday, I want to go back. Alex..you should come if you can...

I -did- tell my lady that saturday was budgeted for moto time. Southwick seems pretty intimidating though. How far up is that compared to Crow Hill joe?

You mean in travel time? Southwick is just over the border in MA straight up RT10. Takes me one hour to get there from home in Cheshire. Much closer than Crow Hill.
I seems pretty intimidating for sure because it's a large track, and at first you may feel pretty slow on it because of it. But being large with many lines, and great dirt, you will learn a lot by the end of the day if you so choose. Go to Crow Hill after that, and you should notice a change in how you mentally, and physically attack that track. Besides...if you've never ridden on a track of national caliber, you gotta try it at least once. Come on up, and I'll show you some lines. That 520 will work fine....
My lady may try it once if the beginner class isn't too crowded for her. She's still learning, so she may not. We'll see.

[Awesome]

Flying? As in Pilot flying?

[Paul_E_D]

Yeah, I broke the 200 mile an hour mark while flying Tyler's Beechcraft twin! It was awesome. Not a hobby I'll ever have the money for though.

[Awesome]

have you tried jumping out at 13,000 yet? That's my new addiction.

If you guys head to Southwick, let me know. I haven't been there in years, would like to check it out. You'll be fine there Alex, hell I raced there when I was like 12 on a KX80. Ah, the memories.

[rebelpacket]

You could always try Ultralights Paul. My uncle builds and flies them. He uses old two-stroke snowmobile engines. Fits in a pickup/trailer. Easy to fly. Doesn't go 200mph though.



Joe, I'll PM you later. I may be able to swing Southwick this weekend. I won't be in anything other than beginner either, so if your fiancee needs someone to lap.... edit: Mark, I'll let you know. Your more than welcome to rip on the 520 too if you'd like.

[Paul_E_D]

I tried an ultralight once. It's a bit sensitive to wind, but I could see that being fun.

I also Jumped from 14,000ft once. THAT is a mind bender. I could definitely see how it'd be addictive.

[knobby]

Hey Alex....I'll be hitting up the beginner class as well. Yup...send me a PM on your status for sure.

[Paul_E_D]

Ay Chihauha! I fucked up reading my MSF schedule. I'm free THIS saturday and working NEXT saturday. Where's everybody riding on the 20th? Knobby, what's the 411 on riding at Southwick?

[typeone]

woah, just read this... i've never ridden Southwick but would love to. haven't attended a race there since the 500 smokers were running!

what are the details? i'd rock beginner with you guys too. sounds like a blast.

[knobby]

Details of anything to do with Southwick can be found
at their site: motocross338.org

But here's the dirt on this Saturday's dirt....

Southwick open practice..Saturday, Oct 20th. 9-5pm. $30. per person.
All levels(youth-expert) Last practice of season. Weather permitting.

Being an early riser, out of habit I will most likely be there by 8:00am myself in hopes to get a decent place to park, have time mellow, snak, and prep bikes. Hope to see some of you guys there....

[Paul_E_D]

Wow, Last time I was at Southwick, it ran counterclockwise. Is it an entirely different track now?

How bad is the sand? What percent of the course?
