I am putting alot of effort into making this dual event how they should be.
I have seen alot of BS efforts put in on dual slalom in the past like it is a sideshow.
But, it always draws the biggest crowds and the lowest payout. Hopefully everyone will
make the effort to come out and support the race. The Pro payout will be 150%
So if alot of people show there will be several Hundy on the line for some top notch racing!
Hope to see yah there - If yah ain't sceered? Hahahahahhahahaahhaha (My evil Halloween Laugh)
Costumes are welcomed! Even if it is a belated Halloweeny!

Just park your car around the side and walk up....

 

[Metal Dude]

Awesome - Bwaahahahahaaa
More like dueling banjos and rednecks hiding in the woods with crossbows.

Squeeel like a pig boy - Squeal like a pig

You shor do got a preddy mouf boy

 

[mattmatt86]

I've got a good bit of Alligator horns left over I could throw in.

 

[Metal Dude]

cool looks like we could use a couple kids prizes.

where did you guys get all the gator horns? was this some collegiate prank
where you guys stole all the Florida teams horns from there bikes at a race?

 

[Metal Dude]

Yah Butch you nailed it - cause this course is PSHYCO!

 

[Metal Dude]

Wow! Got out to session some on Sunday with about 8 or 9 others to enjoy breaking in the course.
Pretty dang fun! It was a little soft so the riding broke it in right.
After watching a couple guys at a time on the course, wow, it looks awesome.
Got some gates (poles) to manipulate slightly that should make lanes dead even by race day.
2 guys were hittin everything on bmx bikes- One a twenty and one was a cruiser dude jammin' and jumpin'
- The triple was devirginized, as well as the new line out of the gulley.
Guys were doin' all different options, jumping, manuals, jump to manuals, etc.
It will be a shame to miss this one. I think from the responses given from the riders today,
It would be worth a loonnng drive just to ride here. But, to miss jammin' with a good group here and bust'n out
some great cash and prizes to make it worth the drive! Shiute Maann, Yawl outa cum see us now!

P.S. We discussed how this course has good big bike potential... little pedaling, flowy, pumpy then theres the rock garden...

WE WANT TO SEE A BIG BIKE CLASS!!! SO GUYS WITH 6-7 EVEN 8" BIKES CAN HAVE A GOOD TIME RACING THIS ONE
DON'T MISS IT CAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A LITTLE BIKE! WE WILL THROW YOU IN A 6" TRAVEL PLUS CLASS!

I brought them from our shop, we had a ton in storage and my boss said we could have them all. I've got close to 15 still, I'll bring them. I'm also gonna bring both my bikes and make a game time decision on which to ride.

 

[Flowtec]

yeah, Chuck, dang-awn fun indeed. Clint and i hit it saturday. too bad we didn't have yesterday to hit it, i can only imagine how much faster it was yesterday than saturday. although slightly damp/slow in spots, it was still pretty damn sick. yes, the race should be off the hook.

chuck put a killer course together fo sho. yeah, chuck, i too could see a big bike doing aight on the course, especially when it's bone dry.

a "no justice" pic from the top:

tables near the beginning:

I forgot my camera and everyone couldn't stop riding long enough to get some shots.
Looked like you guys got a good bit of runs down the hill. See yah Saturday

 

[Flowtec]

[Metal Dude]

Pretty much ends on the lander to the last roller to tapered landing thing...
the one about 10yrds after step up out of gulley.

 

[GORE809]

hey is there gonna be someone out at the race callin out sandbaggers, i know at the clemson race there was some BAD sandbaggin

 

[Peete]

FYI, the track is DH bike friendly.

I'm bringing mine. Chucks says we get at least 4 and we can make a DH bike class.

Who's in?

Count me in. I was going to use my DH bike regardless.

 

[GORE809]

is the address for those who have to mapquest everything 100 bates road or like 1000 bates road?

 

[Metal Dude]

Try 101 Bates Rd.

 

[GORE809]

thanks man, im lookin to make my way out i am gonna tyr to see if my brother alex is gonna show

 

[Metal Dude]

His punk ass better show!!

Yeah I think I may have a solution for the sandbaggers....
I will run it by everyone at the race but, I am not aware when that
happens at other races that much, I am usually just worried about me
but,
maybe say if you sign up for Novice and your qualifying time ends up in
the top 50% of a higher class - then seems like you should certainly belong
in that class. Of course there would be no penalty for qualifying slow for a respective class.
So I guess you could try to sandbag the qualifyer, but, that
would be risky business since it may plot you against the other fastest guy first rounds.

 

[GORE809]

yeah i hope he comes i got to call him today, but yeah noticed that pretty bad in clemson, cause like the top 3 seemed to be smoking pro times

 

[mattmatt86]

If I can get a fork that has some rebound adjustment for my slalom bike I'll be riding that, otherwise I'll prolly be on my DH sled.

 

[Peete]

I talked to Alex yesterday, he'll be there.

 

[GORE809]

yeash i had to call his too busy self to ask

 

[Metal Dude]

It's On at 1pm saturday....
