Stimilon Race Class Choices

[rbrais]

Maaaaaybe 450 Hack and Old 30C. Having just raced Southwick, I'm thinking 2 classes may be more than I even want to do. Hell, 2 motos was more than I wanted to do last weekend.....

Last year I thought I would be in good shape for 2 classes, since I was running 5 miles a few times a week. Yea, NO! Kicked my fuckin' ass!

See what happens when you only ride once or twice a year? Hell, I have to replace my tires before the race because they have DRY ROT and the knobs are flaking off.

Signed up for Keepin it real and Old 30C, but probably just play with the 2-smokers so I don't have a heart attack. Drinkin beer over riding is more my style now that I'm no longer a kid.

[Paul_E_D]

KIR is 5 laps I believe, where old 30C is 4. I still need to sign up. And yea, you gotta do some seat time to make finishing 4 heats realistic.

Keepin It Real & ???????????

I did KIR & Never Ever last time and got beat up on in both. That was, to date, the only time I've been on a MX track in my life.

[Paul_E_D]

Are you old like the rest of us? If not, any of the "hack" classes will be fine.

You should be at crow hill ready to ride at 10am this saturday, and every saturday til the event!

["Dangerous" Dan K]

27.

Crow hill, huh? Maybe on the non-LRRS Saturdays. How much is it? My bank acct more or less belongs to roadracing during the summer.

Hey 6, got plans this Saturday?

[Paul_E_D]

30 bucks for all the riding you can handle...

["Dangerous" Dan K]

Nice. I'll see if I can work it out.

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

Nice. I'll see if I can work it out.

Let me know If you are gonna Make it. I will toss some 160 Takeoffs for 6 In the truck

["Dangerous" Dan K]

Nice. I'll keep you posted. My best bet of making it is probably convincing 6 to go, since I don't have a functioning truck to throw the dirty bike in.

[BMFR6]

And crashing there is like Making A hero Play in beach volleyball. Like falling on a beach.


Never ever and Old 30C for Me

Is that because you were staring down at the water???

["Dangerous" Dan K]

do iiiiiiit

Sure. lemme borrow your truck to get the bike there.

If I can arrange it w/ 6 I'll be there. We'll see. 6, where are ya?

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

I will never live that one down.

[BMFR6]

I will never live that one down.

never. based on your reaction you must have seen a shark in that puddle.

so 7/10 is the actual race day right? due to starting a new job and some other big news, i can't shell out the cash for a bike but i plan on coming up to watch.

Im workin in fucking londenderry about 4 ft from a BMX track and daydreaming nicely till somone called my name on a forum and woke me up...

I sold by dirtbike last week, remember?? and you would get hurt at crow hill, you lack wrist restraint, that is good for sandy southwick on a 125, bad for crow hill in the middle of race season.

That being said i could be convinced to go on the yz250 if i can find a sitter.

I know you sold the CR - I also know there's a YZ250 at your house.

If it's the kind of place I'm going to get hurt I'm all set though. I have no issues getting my rusty ass handed to me at southwick, I do have an issue fucking up my road race season playing on the dirty bike on an off weekend.

It's not that bad.

[6 Fingered Man]

It's not that bad.

You dont know dan... Any point avalible he holds the throttle pegged regardless of his lack of skill, you think he is "dangerous" on a race bike, you aint seen nuthin yet.

He crashes more than anything i have ever seen on a mx bike.

No offence but you know its true ddk.

["Dangerous" Dan K]

100% true. I love jumping dirty bikes, but I probably land 60% of my jumps. I just keep trying until I get it, then I start throwing in tricks (and as a result usually go back to crashing, and repeat the try until I get it cycle). A typical day in the pits for me I spend as much time on the ground and picking my bike up as I do riding.

[Paul_E_D]

This track is made of quilted mattresses. You'll be OK.

[BMFR6]

we're getting off topic. someone answer my question, the racing takes place on saturday for stimilon right?

[Paul_E_D]

right saturday the 10th. Be there!

[seth399]

I take it back, don't come. I don't want to land on you aha

[rbrais]

Now that I think of it....in Old 30C everyone is both old, and slow...just like me! Why would I want to ride in the K.I.R. with people like Tony Laruso and any amature and expert/pro that can get their hands on a 2-Stroke?

Plus it's only 4 laps instead of 5. Considering I'm good for almost 2 laps, I'll finish at least half the race!

[JustInMass]

never. based on your reaction you must have seen a shark in that puddle.

Mark - my bike is your for 1 race if you desire. I think we only get 1 practice, so I'll need to take it for that - but bring your stuff. I signed up for 3 - if you're spectating, it's yours
