6th in Motocross A/Pro Sport at Budds yesterday and 7th in MX Lites A./Pro Sport (Guess you got your bike fixed!). Those guys were freaking flying...
Track was pretty brutal as it is with a high turnout at Budds. Morning practice was frozen mud bermshots. I heard Saturday was miserable with cold and rain.
I missed qualifying in 40+ by one spot. Pretty much deserved it for riding like a spode. Rang my bell early in the day so I was a little "off." My head still hurts...Carlo Coen won it with a big fat #1 on his plate.

The problem with my bike was a combination of two things, 1 somehow the gas station had a gas/diesel mix up so I had a little bit of diesel mixed in, and I lost a bolt on the intake boot from the carb to the cylinder so I was sucking in all kinds of air. Once we got those straightened out it ran really good. I don't have a 450 so I raced my 250f in the 450 class which was actually not as bad as I thought it would be.
The track was horrible. I understand that they got alot of rain, but sunday morning it wasn't muddy he scraped all the crap off which was good but if he ran the disk around one time it would have been awesome, instead it was slick hardpack everywhere with no ruts... Then in the middle of the Motocross A/Prosport moto he starts pushing the mud on the track! I can around one lap on the downhill after the start it was dry and rock hard... the next lap there was 6 inches of mud on it!
But besides that it was good.
If you send your 9th in 40+ in they will definitely accept it for the regional, I wouldn't sweat that one.
I think I got four laps in every moto. Memory a little fuzzy as I said! I don't remember any laps getting trimmed. Course first lap is only half a lap with the finish line where it is.
Stryker is crazy fast and all those kids impress me. Hucking those jumps in those track conditions is gnarly. Dan Corbin is awesome to watch on the two stroke- launching off Henry Hill about ninety feet down that thing.

Yeah, the track was pretty challenging. Traction was scarce on the two-stroke. If you weren't in a rut through a corner forget it. And Budds loves to surprise you with mud halfway through a moto.
The uphill approaching the double after the camelback was intense. Basically trying to gain speed on an uphill whoop section...were you hitting that stuff on the right side or what?
Secondly, was there any protests in the B classes. With just 10 minutes of research, it looks to me that 2 of the top five (Lites B Mod) had or have a RPV of 15+. One was just below 14.7, legal and another has RPV 15 with just 2 events (legal as well).
Just curious.
I was staying way left and wheelying(sp?) through them. Towards the end of the motos when there wasn't anyone right behind me I started going to the left, but I never wanted to give up the inside to anyone.

I won't be doing any other regions, I can't take off work to get to more than one regional.
As for the laps everyone did 4 except for the A classes which did 6. They did not shorten any motos, at least on sunday.
Anyone wanna loan me a YZ450 for the regional?

Not sure if you are talking about Jonny Wasco, but that kid is blazing fast. I saw him in the B class qualifiers last year too and I thought he qualified for the LL final. How he is not an Expert rider yet is beyond me.
are you sure about sunny? i heard different. there is another kid from D3 as well. check it out:

I would say there were at least 6 riders in the B class that should have been in the A but the AMA backed down on the advancements or something, I didn't really read up on it. Maybe someone else can clarify, but apparently none of the guys broke the rules.
