Ill be there for sure but I am not sure if Factory John is going to make it as I think that he is still in the states picking up a new race engine. He said the last one didn't have enough bottom!!!!!!!!:gob:

You all still do the full race- your combined scores are added at the end and the team with the lowest total wins.

probably 4 and around 25k

no- the discount only applies to trailrides- we have more expenses with races.

I'll be there. Engine had to come from the UK though. Got so much bottom it makes yours look small.

That was a tough ride, 25km of corners & roots :), pretty ugly for me only got in 2 laps, my excuse is losing the right brake lever 1/2 way through the 1st lap & 3 instances of looking down & missing a change of course, not the best excuses but hey anything will do with a result like that.
Oh for the record some of the coolest tracks I've ridden, especially that hill climb near the pits that was sweet, especially with the spectators to push you a bit !!!!.

Let me see, XL250's CR250's, RM250's, were the bikes ofthe day.

Oh those were the days.

There were some tired bodies coming thru' lap scoring with an hour to go- shame it rained all day- at least the kids had fine weather.
No complaining though- everyone seemed to enjoy it.
