Rode out at ThunderValley. The track was total dog shit.

In fact, it's been pretty crappy for the last few months. They don't disk it at all when it snows, so it ends up with big mud bogs in a few spots (I've seen three bikes stuck in the last two weeks), and where it's not a total slop fest it's bone dry and pot holed. Good stuff... Even beyond that, the dumbasses do maintenance to the parts of the track that are just fine and leave the pot holes and mud as is (often times even watering the parts of the track that are impassable).

I saw your post. I don't see anything about your local track. It's a bummer your area is on fire, yet it has nothing to do with the current conversation.

Again, that sucks that it's on fire. Anybody could come in here and say something that puts hills on fire in a completely different perspective, but that doesn't matter. We're talking about where we rode. I talked about where I rode. He said his community was on fire. Bummer - now back on topic to where we rode.

Got up at 2:30 a.m. on Sunday & drove 350 miles to The Oatfield MX in Turlock for the Loretta's Area Qualifier. Took 3rd in Masters/O-50. Had to race against Rodney Smith (uh, guess who got 1st!?) & Emig was on the gate with us (shared the moot with 0-35).

Great track, nice facility and the folks at 2X run a pretty good race program, too.

That's funny, my friend rents a house from Rodney, says he is a damn cool dude. I remember back in the day (2001?) he was at my first race when I was on my little xr50. I still have a picture of me and him from that race sitting near the back of his Suzuki rig. I know he still practices at Argyll and Club moto during the week, I'll have to check it out once I'm out of school for the summer. I didn't realize he was still racing a lot, I thought he was just training riders.

Right on peely... I did the same!

I took the Demo 8 out yesterday and did 5 runs up in Tahoe! probably should have brought my 5 inch bike as it wasn't truly DH until Northstar opens in 2 weeks, but, there were some great drop offs with granite boulders to knock the dust off from last season!!!!

Our local golf course!!! The land has been sold and being levelled for appartment blocks so got in through the fence for an afternoon of ripping around, unfortunatley only on pitbikes but still a lot of fun.

I raced round 6 of the USRA desert Series...a hare and hound at Cherry Creek Utah.

2nd in Vet B (9th overall Cool . (I lost my class by 20 seconds...over a two hour, 80 mile, race.)

My brother won the B class overall. I'm pumped for him.

This is some footage from the first loop...when my camera lense wasn't completely covered in dust.
