[tapper190]

I had a wonderful time at Otterlake! I met new board members that were awesome people to talk with, along with the other board members. The drive home was long and very snowy, but made it home safe and sound. The 350x got sick from the snowy weather and now has to go to the doctors either that or pulled something in the carb. trying to catch another 350x in the race Looking forward to next years race! I'll be running the modified non studded.

Hope everyone had a good time and had a safe trip home. If the weather cooperates I will make it next year. I woke up this morning to this. Had to snow blow a path to my wood pile. According to the scale we had between 10-11 inches in my driveway. Oh well it will be gone by Rose City.

Had a great time, it was well worth the short trip up there. Thank you Roger.
I don't have a lot of action shots because I tried the racing myself this time. I hope someone else got some action shots.

I just saw this little zinger I don't know who it belonged to, but it was pretty nice.

Sorry I couldn't make the trip.Know one to go with. Looked like a good time. 37 days till silver lake opens,maybe we can get a ride going up.The Rose City ride I will be at for sure.Glad you had a good time.Roger did you hold onto your title? Ross and Shannon how did you do I know Shannon took pics. Lets see them.

[RoscoW]

Pics will be coming wide-open.

Was a great time and had a lot of fun, I don't think I even officially finished the race , my trike got the front wheel stuck in a pile of snow and the rears were on clean ice couldn't even move, 4 or 5 spinouts didn't help my chances either . I'll let Shannon download the pics this evening.
Thanks Roger, I know you were busy trying to keep the events rolling and I'll admit it was the best run Ice race I've ever entered, (and the first ) Hope all went well


Ross..

[shannonw]

I had a great time, it was snowy, but I stayed warm enough...

I managed to finish my race, didn't spin out, didn't crash and even passed somebody! Considering I've never raced before... I think that is a great personal best!

Here are some of our pics, videos to follow in a bit too...

Ross told me I wasn't allowed to link to his race... but... I never listen.

200-450 Stock Unstudded race
Participants: ShannonW, Ditchmud, Tapper, Brett, 14riding(?), Bill's boy Dean and Scott's boy Liam. I think that was everyone we would have known...



A wider view of the end of the same race... it felt like I was going a lot faster than it looked on video...

[shannonw]

Hey Sean,

Yesterday all "wide open" did for me was make me go round and round in a much smaller circle.

That was fun too, but didnt' seem really effective in the whole grand scheme of things.

WHEW !!!!! Boy was I tired yesterday,I actually took the whole day Sunday offand did absolutley nothing but watch the NASCAR race.. 1st off I wanna say Thanks for all the help that everybody did for me ,I know it may have not seemed like alot but you guy's really helped me out even if it was the smallest thing,and a special thanks for the pic's and vid from Shannon and Ditchmudd,and to my flag guy's Ross ,Scott ,Eric,Bill,Dean and everybody else,Thank's.Did Tapper's wife take the video??One of the Big bummer's with running the event's that I do is that it really cut's into my socializing time,and man was I busy.I had some people asking me the stupidest question's ,wanting to know when they were gonna Drag Race and we were just starting the unstudded.I was told by one guy that I promised him I would clear his lane in the Drag's and then I staged him and he ended up with a 3rd,he proceeded to rip my arse and I was very polite and told him he was wrong and another guy in the Drag's wanted to Kick my Arse,I just laughed at that fella.LOL,Trikefest Drag's don't get heated up like this I was thinking to myself,but I'll still be doing Otter Lake next year,LOL..

It was great to see all my trike family out there,it was a ton of support not only for our trike's but for me also.Thanks again for all the help and for the support you guy's put up.Tapper I did'nt get to talk at you or your wife very much but my compliment's on the 350x ,it looked really good,and I did'nt really get to meet the other 350X rider,do I know him guy's?? Unveil that person,is he a new member?? I know one thing even putting this race back 2 week's did'nt make attendance much smaller,infact I think the ATV race's were the biggest so far.More trike's this year fo sure..You guy's ROCK !!!!!
