Yeah, can't say I'm regretting my decision at this point. Hope Davo isn't too bummed about the turn of events though.

It's never cool to have Stimilon rained out, but he made his money back on pre-entries.

Here are a few photos in no particular order:

Hi Gino!


Some of the group:


Paul off by himself, but note the rain in the picture. It either was raining or raining harder while we were there:


What the track looked like:


Yup....that is not supposed to be across the track. This caused them to stop the race and restart.


Clinton:


Biggity.....such a good effort!


Squirrel!!


Joel.....one of the many victims of the mud...


Hey Paul....what are you doing out there?


Sometimes you just need a hand...


This kind of sums it up...


Umm yeah....powerwashing of what?!?


Thanks guys for a good time despite the weather!

Hey Clinton, that tickles!

[Paul_E_D]

BTW, Kerry, I'm clearly doing a nack nack out there...

[typeone]

great pics, Kerry! thanks for posting

[Paul_E_D]

You look so intense working that thing...

[typeone]

VERY focused, with a delicate touch.

[jerseygirl]

Oh is that what that is Paul? I am still learning about this dirt stuff

VERY focused, with a delicate touch.

I appreciate the delicate touch Clinton! Wish I would have gotten more pictures of you!

[nt650hawk]

is it if a friend is washing your junk down?

[Paul_E_D]

is it if a friend is washing your junk down?

It's OK if it's in a threeway...

[typeone]

appreciate the delicate touch Clinton! Wish I would have gotten more pictures of you!

my outriggers wouldn't have fit in frame anyway

is it if a friend is washing your junk down?

don't worry, i'm not pressing charges...

By looking at the pics, you guys need to stand up mor

[typeone]

we should have skipped practicing sand at Pauls place and all drove up to Nunavut to practice in deep snow!

[Pittenger5]

I wouldnt have made it more than about 30 feet, but man, I think that 30 feet woulda been AWESOME.

Easy for you to say. lol. These were outrigger conditions for 99% of the riders there. If you stood up, it was a matter of yards before you went down!

[typeone]

wish we were doing it all over again this weekend

[shawnalan]

ill pass on those conditions again anytime soon. Ride 50ft face plant in mud. repeat.

[typeone]

takes practice to conquer that shit!

wish i was smart enough to stay sober Sat and ride Sun. they were cleaning up a few sections in the AM.

[shawnalan]

Yea, i almost came back. Tim was sending me updates.

[rbrais]

Reminds me of one time when we went to Diamond Back. I waited for my friend to get out of work and we made it there around 1:00am. Supposed to crash in our friend's camper, but they were all asleep by then, so we slept in the truck and listened to it pour.

Come morning it was a complete slop-fest. I looked at the track and said "nope". My friend was stubborn and decided he wasn't going all that way to not ride. He crashed 4 times in his first practice lap. Was too tired to continue, so he bailed out half-way throught the first lap. (He crashed next to a hole in the fence.) I waited for like 10 minutes for him to cross the finish....then found him back at the truck. LOL

After the first few practice sessions, they called the races off.

[typeone]

^ yup. it was that kinda weekend. after two crashes my arms were toast! brain no worky either. the toughest sections for me were the downhills and cavity gullies. so hard to nut up and bomb those ruts. haven't ridden in slop like that in a long, long time.

the best was watching Daniel ask Ralph (track honcho) if we were going to run the short course... "Why?" with a super straight face is all he got in return... twice

[rbrais]

Eh...Stimilon is more about the booze than the bikes, anyway.
