Sandmountain TT Points 10/23

Mrs.Nightbreed · October 17, 2005, 09:00:33 AM

So who's racing on Sunday?

I hope to see a great turn out!

I will be running Womens and maybe a guys class (don't know which) and I have 1 Pee Wee Quad C (on a 50cc) and hopefully 1 Youth on a blaster.

It's racin time ladies and gents! Time to get your crap together and get on your "A" game!

LE450-RACER#77 · October 17, 2005, 11:09:52 PM

I will be there for sure.

400EX · October 18, 2005, 04:37:18 PM

they still going to race sunday with the hurricane that is comin??

Flea_Jumper · October 18, 2005, 07:18:22 PM

I will be there too? Ya right, I will bring the jet skis. I do believe this weekend is shot.

Mrs.Nightbreed · October 18, 2005, 07:22:22 PM

Maaaan, I didn't even here about this storm until this morning.

Maybe we will get lucky

LE450-RACER#77 · October 18, 2005, 09:51:25 PM

I didn't know about the storm until today when I signed on to the computer & it said FL was in path of hurricane.

THAT REALLY SUCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quad32x · October 18, 2005, 10:19:41 PM

Not looking good for this weekend.

LE450-RACER#77 · October 21, 2005, 05:09:37 PM

Ok I just sent an email to find out what was going to happen with the race this weekend so I will let everyone know as soon as I find out.

LE450-RACER#77 · October 21, 2005, 08:38:35 PM

So far it looks good for Sunday but they will let us know for sure tommorrow.

Mrs.Nightbreed · October 22, 2005, 12:27:42 PM

I was just looking at the site. It says gates at 10:30. How can we get 2 practices for each clas and 2 heats in by 4:30? The calender says the race is 10:30-4:30.

TBR · October 22, 2005, 12:50:42 PM

They may have only one round of practice. Last year they opened at 8:30. Remember each moto is only about 8 or 9 minutes long. It's fast tracking.

Mrs Nightbreed is that hubby of yours going to be brave enough to run open expert?

#78 and #86 are ready to do some TT racing. Is anybody else going to run open expert?

See you at the races
Dale

Mrs.Nightbreed · October 22, 2005, 01:10:29 PM

Mike isn't racing. We can't haul all 4 quads down there. It is more for the kids to get to race. I will run beginner though. My dad (gmann) is going to racce in beginner too. Mike is what he calls a "Professional Practicer"

He never races....

LE450-RACER#77 · October 22, 2005, 04:31:06 PM

So who is going to go tommorrow ?

TBR · October 22, 2005, 04:44:26 PM

Steve you know we will have two there. It seems like it has been a long summer break.

LE450-RACER#77 · October 22, 2005, 04:49:22 PM

Yes it has been along time.

Ride1Rob · October 22, 2005, 05:08:21 PM

Will probaby make it out tomorrow. I haven't rode my bike in a month

. She was in the shop for three weeks getting the swingarm replaced. Got it back thursday and and did some maintnance on it yesterday and today. Went to crank it today and NOTHING??? Checked all of my wiring and found that it's my cut on/off wiring. Have it rigged as of now so I can least get it crunk. Will see what happens tomorrow.

Flea_Jumper · October 22, 2005, 07:15:19 PM

Other than I think we will be rained out, my shoulder is still killing me from last weeks wreck. I hope it does rain so I can heal before the first race.

400EX · October 22, 2005, 07:25:10 PM

well i guess they're racing so i guess i'll be there.... i'm gonna run expert w/ the thackers.

Mrs.Nightbreed · October 23, 2005, 07:49:44 AM

Well. In big red letters on their site it says racing is still on but all I get is an answering machine when I call the number. So I guess we are leaving to go to breakfast in Bartow with my parents and we will be there.

Ride1Rob · October 23, 2005, 08:27:09 AM

The track should be fine. I'm about 20 mies away but we haven't ANY rain here the last couple of days

.

Nightbreed · October 23, 2005, 05:30:50 PM

What happened to every one ?

LE450-RACER#77 · October 23, 2005, 07:26:39 PM

So who was there & how did everyone do ?

Ride1Rob · October 23, 2005, 09:11:37 PM

I was wondering the same thing... I didn't come b/c I'm having issues w/ my bike. Rear seloniod (sp) gone bad and my rubber that goes into my rear brake caliper is somehow twice the size it's supposed to be. I have no rear brakes as of right now. How was the turnout today and what happened?

Sandmountainspeedway.com · October 23, 2005, 10:17:07 PM

Congratulations Nightbreed on a great run today.

There wasn't much of a turn out. Trent got 1st on Pee Wee quad C!

He finished his 2nd moto and asked "Did I win? Did I win?" Daddy told him yes and he said "Do I get a trophy?" Daddy said yeah and he yelled "yeeesss"

I got 2nd in Beginner. gmann got 3rd. The #8 450R got 1st. I don't remember the 4th guy, he was on a Suzuki and didn't run the 2nd race. There were not enough Am guys to have their own class so some ran with Expert and 1 ran with beginner, but they got their points for their class. Powder Puff only had 1, I think she ended up riding w/ the youth. Each Pee Wee class had 2, so they ran together. I think there was 1 vet and he ran w/ expert. It was a short day today.

I don't know much about expert. I know Lyndon wrecked 1st moto and I think won the 2nd moto....

Overall it was slippery and muddy in practice and the 1st moto but it never even sprinkled and it stayed cloudy enough to keep the sun away!

Sandmountainspeedway.com · October 23, 2005, 10:29:05 PM

I didnt know that was your son I was right there when your husban got on the back that made my day

Mrs.Nightbreed · October 23, 2005, 10:33:07 PM

I think everyone he even remotely recognized had to close their eyes for him to show them the trophy

I thought he was going to burst! He was so excited

You should have heard him and the other little boy arguing over who was going to win that 2nd race! Me and the other mom both had to tell them to be nice when they were pulling out to the starting line!

We were chuckling that the biggest grudge match of the day was on the smallest quads

Sandmountainspeedway.com · October 23, 2005, 10:39:21 PM

I am glad they had fun. My brother in-law was at the start line and he said that one of those little guys (I think it was your son) said I am gonna beat all you guys and he made sure the bigger kids were listening too.

Mrs.Nightbreed · October 23, 2005, 10:42:31 PM

(parden the fence...my mom took it) That would be mine that said that. Here are the 2 speedracers!

man I'm tired

Sandmountainspeedway.com · October 23, 2005, 10:46:11 PM

I cant see the pics I would love to post them Email them to me from the web site

Mrs.Nightbreed · October 23, 2005, 10:52:06 PM

I fixed it. I also want to add that this was his first race ever! He is already bugging me about when the next one is

LE450-RACER#77 · October 23, 2005, 11:28:55 PM

Hey Mike & Melissa tell my little buddy that I said good job. Sorry I didn't go but I figured it would be nasty all day so I went out & woke up a little hung over.

Oh well I'll be ready for the next one.

1fastltr450 · October 24, 2005, 08:56:26 AM

LE done all that work to his bike and then scared to get it a little dirty hows he going to win the series if he dont go lol just messin with ya Steve

Flea_Jumper · October 24, 2005, 09:03:34 AM

Well I have to believe that most people thought that the weather was going to be an issue. I spoke with several of the guys who thought they would cancel the race. It would only make sense. No big deal there is always the next one.

Make sure you tell Trent that I said congrats. He is going to be a tiger when he gets older.

Ride1Rob · October 24, 2005, 01:09:48 PM

Yeah, I'm hoping that most felt like the race would be canceled. Something's up though b/c practices used to be nice and packed w/ quads. Lately it hasn't been from what I'm told $:-\$ . We'll see what happens on the next one.

Ride1Rob · October 24, 2005, 01:10:46 PM

BTW, congrats Melissa on you and your sons run

Well that is not the truth because we went out & practiced when the track was a mud hole & I sure haven't seen you on the tt track lately. By the way my bike doesn't get dirty when I'm running in the front. LMAO

1fastltr450 · October 24, 2005, 03:36:46 PM

I cant help it they changed the date of it so I have had to work every weekend of this races lol I will be back one of these days

400EX · October 24, 2005, 07:47:02 PM

i was there... ran in the expert ... i got 1st in the first moto and 2nd in the 2nd and got first overall. had a great time and hopefully there will be more people there the next race.

p.s. hey dale is lyndon doin alright?

TBR · October 25, 2005, 06:27:33 AM

congradulation on the win Eric. Lyndon is fine
Brandon needs a tranny overhaul so he can get back in the running.

I didn't really care for the new start line because it made every one be too close on that jump. I'm afraid there will be alot of accidents there but I guess we will see.

We will be looking forward to next race and maybe we can have a few more come out from hiding.
Dale

RTR_380/450R · October 27, 2005, 11:56:12 PM

Kick a man whiles he's down!! Why do you guys want me there anyway. It just dramatically lessens your chance of winning!

Quad32x · October 28, 2005, 12:11:10 AM
