Ross I have a set of tire's all studded up and ready to go for ya.i think you'll need to use my axle spacer's also,which is no problem.I have a '85 oem 350X tire all studded up also.I ain't gonna need them with running the big Rde this year.let me know..Gag I have tecate tire's but nothing studded yet..

[shannonw]

OK folks, here's the deal. If you call the Comfort Inn in Davison
Phone: (810) 658-2700. Tell the person that you are a AAA member and you'll get 10% off (that is their standard group rate) you don't need to provide a AAA number for the discount. The gal I talked to said they still had lots of room and would be able to put us all together. So I guess we should mention that when we register as well. I'll make our booking tonight so you can tell her you want to be near Ross Woodhouse if that works for you.

If the weekend is pushed back to the 21st due to weather we have until 4:00pm on the day of arrival to cancel or change the booking with no penalties. The weekend of the 21st has a few bookings but is not busy per say.

How does that work?

Roger,

I may just take you up on that. Whaddya want for 'em? I got a bitchin' set of trail pros I could swap you. They're on ugly steel rims and everything.

Seriously... what would you want for them? Are they mounted or would I have to swap rubber at the race? Is it all 3 or just the rears?

[seantrx250r]

Don't think I can make it I will be getting back from red rock the week before and I don't think they have a class for non studded golf carts that's the only thing that I could ride the 250r chain ate the case. Sorry have go wait till spring to go on a ride

[Gag_Halfront]

Wow! That blows. I was hoping to see you put a whuppin' on Big Country.

[seantrx250r]

Is he going up what's he riding

[Gag_Halfront]

He wants to go. His banshee isn't back together yet, though. I recon we'll find something for him to ride. Maybe Dumb Dave's 'shee. Maybe my 350x if we can't find anything else to put him on.

[Gag_Halfront]

What does that mean, exactly? Does that mean you're not coming? Does it mean he's not coming? Does it mean we're going to have a hog roast soon?

Enquiring minds want to know!

[Itrike]

Sorry to hear youre not going to make it John. But thats just one less Big Red I have to keep behind me LOL.
You might have to get 3 hogs!!! how many folks showed up to Rogers last year??
Shoot I could eat 3 myself , and I'm a little guy!
I'm sure there will be a bunch of pics so you can see what you missed.

[Gag_Halfront]

Man... Last night the secret ingredient on Iron Chef America was bacon. Now you're talking about a freezer full of pork and making brauts...

Damn... now I'm hungry and want to fire up my smoker.

We'll miss you at the race, John. I'll tell the Battle Trike that it won that race by forfeit because your big red was scared to run against it. That should give it the confidence it needs to tear up those other ute trikes.


Edit:

PS: I'll trade you a keg or two of Gagster's home brew (style of your choice) for some pork to throw in my smoker.

If I've ever heard a good excuse before for something this is it!

I'm gonna have to write this one down.

What it means is I can spend a little money and have one heck of a good time with all of you Feb. 7th.
or
Spend a little money and my time and process 2 hogs and have in the freezer for pork all year.
On Feb 7th. we will get 10 - 12 hogs (2 for me) and spend that Saturday and Sunday gutting and skinning and hang in the cooler till the following weekend and then spend 2 days processing meats.
Hams will be sent to the local smoker. Towards the end of Feburary we will make up our brauts.
I put 65 packages of 4 brauts per package in the freezer alone last year.
Last years price per pound when all said and done was 1.45 per pound.
That includes smoker cost, our wrapping paper, seasoning - every thing.
I will furnish brauts for a lunch for everybody at Sandpuppys ride this year.

Well what's a person too doo John,prioroties do come 1st and with the price of meat at the local grocery store ,I'd be doing the same thing if I had the set-up going like you told me.Just make sure you tell the son-in-law that next year the begining of Feb.ain't gonna work for ya and the hog's are gonna have a little more fat on 'em..But you will be missed for sure,I can gaurentee..

As a little update on the race's ,I had to actually make a few more classes,nothing major -but since it's looking like a huge attendance not only from the trike community but the quad's also,I included a modified class.Basically had to do it.Now the question is : What is Modified?? Well just to make it easy on myself basically,even if you have a bone stock machine with nothing done to it at all except for a pipe/muffler ,whelp your now in the Modified class.I actually was gonna word it as an improved class but modified is what I came up with.It's not gonna be a big deal at all actually-in fact it open's it all up to where I'll be able to hand out 15 more trophie's if all the classes have at least 3 rider's.Sooo basically it's just a way of making it easier on me,and if you want to you can run your stocker in the mod class also but you'd have to sign up again.

It's getting alot closer,I hope all is coming together for everybody..Thing's are looking good as far as the BS I gotta do ,actually I love putting on these event's and seeing all you guy's. I talked too the committee chair yesterday and discussed doing an interview with the local radio station's and have'nt heard back on that yet,but the flyer's are coming out in the next day or so,so that's my next project.

Another thing we hashed over was the track this year.Last year the track was 150' foot by 300' with pretty hard cornering on the short track and 450 x150' on the big track with the same tight corner's.This year motorcycle's are running also so I apted to go with a 300' x 300' radius with well rounded corner's so it's user friendly for the bike's and the ATV's.The track's well maintained believe me,there will be at least 2 quad's ready to plow when I say ,and I'm gonna mix the bike's with the ATV classes also..I don't know if i said anything but the proceed's of the event go directly to the Otter Lake Firework's which will be Sat .night and ther will be at least 1 big bon fire so were good to go.Im also bringing my webber grille so all ya need is some dog's and burger's..

One thing I do need is at least 1 more pop-up canopy like the one's I have,if anybody's got one they can bring.I'm setting up a tent with some of my machine's and what not ,plus for warming up in but I'm thinking more canopy's.
On a side note Gag you said something earlier about some Tecate wheel's and tire's..Drop me a PM on that..I have some nice
I'll update the new reg.form on here when I get a minute but it's really no biggie at all.So what are ya's all thinking any question's,issue's- whatever let me know..

[Itrike]

I have one of those canopy's like youres , I'll bring it along. With John out now I still need to puy some details togather with who I'm trekking up there with but I am 99% sure I'm going. Tried to talk lopes into bringing his sx up , but I think he is scared

[Gag_Halfront]

Lopez is afraid of the Battle Trike!

I don't blame him.

[sandpuppi101]

Sound's good on the canopy Itrike and Gag I dropped you a PM which I'm sure you got..Not much more info to drop in.Oh' I did talk too my buddy that bought Derrick Adams 450 and he's studding it up and bringing my 600 up too me out of storage so I mite run the 600 in the open class studded to defend my title anyway's.It depend's though,I know I have to redo the head on the old girl she was smoking pretty bad the last time I ran her..We'll have too see on that though..
