Post by: Donn Nay on April 10, 2013, 10:56:27 am: My plans are "in flux" right now. Not sure when I will be there but for sure no later than Sunday morning about 8:00. Sandy - if I cannot make it until then can you grab a pit stall for us on Saturday? I'll call you Friday if I'm not coming for the weekend.

Post by: Bob Johnson - D37 Rep on April 10, 2013, 03:13:08 pm: Donn
I am still trying to make it for Sunday only
Do you have the pit stuff, i was wondering if you need it for the enduro ?
If not I will bring back as much as I can fit in Our Nissan Xterra (NO easy up for sure), but I have one.
If I can't make it out Sunday, can Julian/Gumby take the pit stuff ? since they should be at Vikings as well ?

Thanks
Let Me know ASAP.

OH CRAP! Nobody to play (er I mean party) with tomorrow night! Looks like I'm going out tomorrow afternoon, work's calmed down enough to escape and I need to see a couple people this weekend out there anyway.

So, who has the pit stuff and is it needed for the Enduro ??
Title: Re: So Cal National
Post by: Donn Nay on April 15, 2013, 07:26:07 am: Sandy has the pit stuff and will be at Vikings, not needed for next weekend's enduro
Title: Re: So Cal National
Post by: Brian MacKenzie - VP on April 15, 2013, 09:24:52 am: Another change in plans, Quagmire and I will not be at Vikings so I will bring the pit stuff to TWMC this weekend. If someone could take it south to hand off for
Vikings it would be great.

Post by: Donn Nay on April 16, 2013, 07:29:13 am: Sandy broke a front brake line right off the start, figured 90 So Cal miles with only a rear brake was NOT a good idea.

Quagmire (a story for another time) aka Jason was running decent, passed "Hippy" Brian at second gas before the third loop, was making a one stop race but the hill leading out onto the third loop got him, as it did many racers. Seems Jason bit off a bit too much last weekend. His weekend started when he parted company from Sandy in Barstow on his street bike and went to run his leg of the Baker to Vegas Challenge relay; he ran 6 miles in the desert, then rode the bike to camp late that evening. When he came back to the pits he was "done" and close to exhaustion. Some water and wet rags got him cooled off but no finish.

Gumby kicked butt again. Finished 3rd ammie and first in 250, that's two wins in a row!

Hippy Brian ended up first Ammie Vet!

KJ had a good one loop ride at 4th

Vince Balsitis said he had fun, sure good to see him out racing again. He took the one loop option so shows as DNF right now, but will be fixed.

Pit duty was handled by yours truly plus Terry and Cynthia Hollister and Julian Gamount.

For spectators we had a visit from Darryl Moore and Dave Springer, thanks for coming out and supporting our racers.

No injuries, no retreivals, all in all a GREAT day.

How is your toe Gumby?
He got checked out and apparently a few toes are smashed and severly bruised but not broken. He is still planning on TWMC enduro this weekend
