...also, is this race going to require the usual HORBA $5 day license?
Mike, if enough pros show up any chance of splitting them from the experts?
You missed an awesome mtnx course at Snowshoe. If only it wasn't so far away I'd go back just to ride it.

Sorry to hear about your bike....are you coming back for mayhem -Sept 10th-11??Peete said:
I was talking to my son about it but I doubt it. I spent @ $160 in gas this past weekend. And it looks like I'm going to take another pay cut here soon.Msisle Dad said:
But you never know, we've raced for Team Credit Card before.
Your boy did pretty good in the mtnx. There were some west coast heavy hitters in the JrX ranks. Peter looked like he started in the wrong gear and was nervous. He needs to learn to not get psyched out by the comp.
whats the deal with the DH Bike class.....any age separation or just one big class?
Hmm can ask mike tomorrow at work, thats a good question about age group on the big bikes.
thanks
Peete said:
Thanks, It's a good class, and our guys do not get the chance to race at that level enough. We may try for the Maxxis final.. Let us know if you are ever heading up our way...Charles
What is the entry fee for this race?
Me and formermtnboarder went out there today, it was fun stuff. We even had an audience of lots of scary looking old guys in child molester mobiles. The course is a little rough, but lots of fun. Im all for leaving it like it is, rough, rutty, and rocky, it is mountain biking after all. Oh yeah Mike, my favoritest, bestest, hadiest, youngest bike mechanic in the whole world, are you gonna be requiring people like me to put their derailers back on? Did I mention your the best...

no, i'm not going to cheat...i'm asking others to cheat for me...duh! 
Well that's just nice, Brandon. I was going to let my daughter race men's sport if no women show up.manimal said:i'm not sure what the fee is but i'll pay your race fee if you pull a tanya harding on the entire sport class so i can win :evil:
Just out of curiousity, could I race expert and DH bike class?
Any chance of a junior class, or a junior xpert? Im 15.
If not, I will probably race sport. If I go, that is!

You guys like dirt jumps? or wooden stunts?Peete said:

i'll try to be there mike, but i'll be getting off of work at 630am so i might pass out before 8. either way, i'll be out there this week and will bring the shovel to smooth out anything left from tomorrow.
Peter likes DJs and I'm more into DH stuff. I can fake my way through jumps if they aren't too vert.motomike said:
Not really into wooden stunts like teeters and skinnies but drops are cool.
Just bring doughnuts!manimal said:
good work mike, i went out there this afternoon and smoothed out the first berm and a few other minor areas. looks like we'll need a good hard rain before the new stuff is actually rideable though, it was like a dust bowl today.
in the worst case scenario, i'll load up a couple mobile toters, fill them with water and use that to wet and shape the berms and new hip.

We can take you guys out to Cone and maybe "Billy Wanes." If you guys like fishing we can check out a really cool fishing hole, but its mostly wooden stuff, but lots-o-fun. Did you get your bike fixed?Peete said:
