Cheap Bastids

[TheIglu]

Alright gentlemen, who is bringing what?

Big-D, you still have the power thingy? I think I have your safety wire pliers. That, or mine reproduced. That would explain the stainless steel semen.

Daviid, are you coming up? Will your bike leak oil in Darrell's trailer? Will we need to fix it with a hammer?

Pete, what time are you coming up, Saturday morning? How many practices will you be missing by wandering the pits chatting?


I'll be bringing the usual. My truck, pitbike, ice-box and grill/cooler. 5 Gallon fuel jug, SOME tools (not all like usual, they walk away).

Extension cord/power strip. I recommend you guys bring one also, things were getting tight last year.

Big-D, can I call dibsies on having an under-EZ-EX? I'll bring Schlitz....

[Honclfibr]

Yup, I've got the power thingy. As for safety wire pliers, I never owned a set so yours must have reproduced.

I'm planning on heading up friday morning/afternoon and trying to catch the friday practice session, we'll see how that works out though.

Clayton you're more than welcome under my EZ-Up. I got the Express II from harbor freight and I also got the four wall kit, so if anyone else wanted to buy an EZ-up we could combine them and do a double wide open front configuration.

Bought some additional hand tools and some extension cords this year, other than that and the air compressor I'll pretty much have the same shit I did last year.

Joel, are you gonna have the husky back in one piece in time for April?

[TheIglu]

I may try to head up early too. We'll see.

[daviid]

ill be there friday. i may be groggy due to nonstop driving thursday. im pretty sure we can have the ex leak oil in darralls trailer. if u want to bring hammers thats coool. i was thinking of stealing a jack hammer. the SV wont need nuffin but fuels. also my trailer is wired for power. just need to do some finishing touches to it. i have like 12 power outlets in there as well. not sure what else ill have with me.

[OreoGaborio]

I'll be there at 8am dull. Plan on missing 0 practices. If the pliers aren't honkie's then they might be mine... been lookin for those for months.

[vintage ex race]

Does anyone no if you go up on Thursday for test and tune if you can stay and camp in the pits Thursday night. I was thinking of doing this and maybe corner working Friday for penguin, Possibly catching late Friday practice?

[OreoGaborio]

Holy crap, we've got a new teammate on Cheap Bastid Racing? Is he taking over for Michael "No Show" Hansberry? I better update the website

Saxman would know that for sure, he usually heads up early to get some fast-people testing in.

I'm contemplating doing the same. Ya know, minus the fast part.

Though not officially a CheapBastid member I appreciate the thought Darrell.

I am still not sure on whether or not I will be racing for the first weekend. The bike might be together but I may have some other things that would keep me from racing. Who knows!

That being said. If any of the CheapBastids were interested in using the EZ up type canopy that I have for the first weekend they are more than welcome to. Just need to get in touch with me and figure out a good time to grab it from me.

Regardless of whether or not I wind up at the track for the first weekend I hope every one has a great and safe time.

Joel

[OreoGaborio]

Hope to see ya up there, Joel! Good luck gettin things sorted

Guys, if you want that second EZ-up, Joel's not too far from me. I could easily swing by & pick it up

[TheIglu]

I may try to buy one of the Harbor Frieght thingy-doo's. We'll see.

I'm new to this cheapbastid thing...some kind of group of racers who run cheap bikes? Saw the sticker on Pete's EX500 at VIR. I'm a cheapbastid, but don't have a cheap bike...so I probably don't fit in. However, I may ask Pete to introduce me to you cheapbastids in a couple of weeks. I'm planning on being up Friday also. When does the open practice start? I've only run Penguin afternoon sessions before, so not clear on the sign-up. I assume I just register for the practice when I arrive.

Cheap Bastid Racing for the "official" (and severely outdated ) info

we're by no means an "exclusive club" Just a few friends that race EX's & felt like "teaming up". Joel's kinda involved, too... same with Brent & Lis when they come up.... and the Low-down guys... and Oxx... and Hawk Nation... it's one big happy family.

[TheIglu]

We are the stupidest people on the track. Ask KB about riding an EX fast.

[Pittenger5]

Ive spent countless hours this winter trying to make my EX fast(er). I dont think stupidest people on the track is a cheap bastid exclusive.

[OreoGaborio]

it's not about making the EX faster, it's about making the rider faster... That's the whole point behind PTwins. Everyone's got a slow bike!

[Pittenger5]

But I suck, I need to make the bike faster.

[OreoGaborio]

Put some pedals on it & start pedaling.

[daviid]

pedals help alot!

[Pittenger5]

Ehh I bought some new Shox and will Flintstone that thing off the start. That should drop my lap times.

[legalspeed]

Yes, you may camp overnight thur-fri, I think Penguin is starting Monday, so you will see peeps camping all week.

Welcome and have fun!

[SVRACER01]

Joel can i race you bike if you arent?

If it came down to never riding on the track again or riding an ex on the track to get on the track I would choose never riding on the track. That was the scariest fuckin thing I have ever done. My Superhawk wallows through the turn, but the EX bellows. Riding and ex is like riding a BOLOGNA SANGWICH.

You guys that can rip 20 summthings on an ex are not right and, my hat is off to you. You really do in fact have a screw loose!!

KB

[OreoGaborio]

that right there is sig worthy

[Pittenger5]

w00h00! I can ride 20 somethings! I must be crazy! Course, its only a 29, so maybe Im just half a turn loose
