mike, ....is there access to running water out there? maybe at the picnic shelter? the forcast isn't calling for rain for a while so here's my plan.

1) if there is a spiggot we can use, hook up a bunch of hoses and wet the course down

2) if there is a spiggot, put several mobile toters in my truck and fill them up, drive onto track and disperse water from the bed of the truck

3) see if the fire department would be willing to hose it down. (the occasionally have to purge the water in their trucks) i'm going to get with my local FD guys that i hang out with on duty and see if they can call some of their winston buddies and hook it up :D

4) wait 'till it rains

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?
Cone and The Billy sound good. Thanks for the fishing offer. It's going to be nothing but riding and drinking for me that weekend.

Yes, they sent out a new swing arm. I haven't had a chance to try it out on the dirt yet.

uh...the "fishing" reference was a code word for -hush,hush freeride location- because it's at a particular lake....so when we ride there we go on "fishing trips". i know...pretty corny, but at least it keeps the name from popping up too much on the net and the place getting overcrowded.

I wasn't sure if it was some creepy gay thing or what. Funny thing is the first time I was asked about going fishing I asked JeffD if he knew. He used to spend alot of his younger days around Peidmont Park which is a big gay/lesbo hangout/body fluid exchange area in Atlanta.

Yes, we will be up for some fishing :thumb:

I will be at hobby tomorrow watering everything down. If anyone can make it in the afternoon to ride it and try to pack it down, that would be great. Oh yeah pray for some rain.

Is a parent needed to be at the race to sign any registration forms?
Yes, but if you pm me we may be able to fax or e-mail you form for your parents to sign. The weather looks great for sunday, high of 78. Now if we could just get some rain. :mumble: I'm tired of hosing down the course.

I am having enough trouble getting the $37 to race. Maybe if somebody would buy my gas powered rc car for $200 shipped.
If it helps the Dual is $27, I'm still trying to find out about the one day license price(if any) for NORBA.

Crap, I just found out Katie has something she can't get out of on Sunday. That really sucks because she was so looking forward to this race.
She's already decide to drop some of her extracuricular activities next year to get back into racing.
A family who races together...ah...I can't think of a good ending.

That's OK, Jr. and I will be there.

Anyone going fishing saturday afternoon?

Well it says $27 for the race + $5 for late fee + $5 for one day lisence = $37. :mumble:

Sorry I must have been shoveling in the sun too long yesterday. I forgot about the late fee. Hopefully I will know about the one day fee today if NORBA calls us back.

Ya the berms were ridable now, the hip table whatever it is tho is gona be tricky after the 4 pack, you get done witht eh 4 then blammo that hips in the way :P
yeah it's pretty quick. I gotta decide what to do about the jump after the hip. I think it needs to be pushed back a couple of feet(shorter gap).

You got it. We were casing it by a couple of feet or so.

I think that if the table/hip were made into more of a hip then the step-down thingie would be more do-able. All youd have to do is make it so the face of the hip thing is directly facing the 4pack, so youd really have to hip it, cause now you almost havta swoop left then right to hit it at all

I moved the jump after the hip/table back about 2 feet so it should be easier. Then I got bit on the foot by some dudes pit bull. It bit through my shoe but luckily didn't break the skin. I'll put some water on the jump in the morning and pack it down.

I sense a story behind the dog bite. Do we need to bring pit bull repellent(baseball bat) to the race or was it just a scorned homo sicking his dog on you?
