I think Matt and I will be out Sunday morning. Matt was accepted at U.C. Channel Islands and there is an open house Saturday that he wants to attend so that dictates Sunday only.

I asked Cactus for the same thing awhile ago. If someone can get the dimensions I'll have Kevin do a drawing in AutoCad.

the boards are 20" X 4', all od. i will get the holes for you tonight. the washers are 1 1/2".

Charlie, if Brian doesn't want a third set you can have mine.
Can somebody confirm if there is going to be a meeting so I know if I am showing up on Saturday or not.

Can you draw me a simple sketch? Better yet if Cactus brings them this weekend I'll measure them but someone remind me, he brought them out to Prospectors but is was so windy we didn't take them out of his car. Once sketched I'll have them drafted up.
-
Aaron I will take it, it will save me some time. Thank you.
We will not be out this weekend something came up at the lake but it looks like the next 4 to 5 weeks are going to be full of racing from Dist 37, USDR and DITD.
Good luck to all this weekend see you all a Dirt Diggers we will be out sunday morning.

I'm not going out until Sunday morning, Julian usually goes out on Sat. morning, hopefully he will this weekend, otherwise we'll get what we can on Sunday.

I know Julian isn?t on the board much, if at all, so I?ll post a report from yesterday. Had a small turnout:
John ?Gumby? Gamout
Steve ?Bishop? Vachon
Mike ?Big Bear? Hastings
Pete ?Mr. Nice Guy? Modina
Aaron ?Jump Start? Price
Matt ?Flat Matt II? Nay
Pit:
Julian Gamout
Eric LeMoine
Betty Vachon
Weather was just about perfect, could have used a bit more of a breeze at the start to blow the dust but the temperature was great, high 70?s to mid 80?s but warm in the sun. Big Bear came though the pits first, well up in the experts and looking strong. Matt was first Ammie in for us, running strong and with air in both tires! Pete came in next with Aaron not far behind. The novices came in with Bishop leading Gumby by a fair amount.
Big Bear pretty much held his position, finishing third 250 old guy. Matt came in toward the top of the Ammie finishers, about seventh 250, but with air in both tires, as Julian said he?s shaken the gorilla off his back, first finish of the year. Aaron and Pete had a little dice going early in the loop but Pete ran out of poop and waved Aaron on. I think Pete got third in class as well, not sure how Aaron did. The long wait then started for our novices. Steve made it across about mid pack or so, but no Gumby. We waited and waited then finally got word that he was having problems and was at a road crossing getting fluids and would take a DNF and come in on the road. We packed up the finish and went back to camp to await his arrival. After waiting some time and monitoring the radio we were fearful that Gumby was lost, no sighting by sweep, check seven or R3 so we sent a couple trucks back to the finish and R3 to start the process, low and behold Gumby was at the finish! Not sure if he came in on the course or just rode over to the finish looking for us. In the meantime yours truly was dealing with a low rear tire on the Chevy (thanks Big Bear for noticing!) and with the help of everyone?s air tanks and 12v compressors was able to get enough air into the tire to make it to Lucerne (still is holding this morning).
So all went well, great course I heard and the second loop was a tough one, ?relentless? was Julian and Matt?s comment and could have used better marking, many got lost. No major injuries from any of the racers was nice to hear and no mechanical issues for the Viewies.
Thanks Julian, Betty and Eric for a great pit.
-
You guys did a great job in the pits. Would have been a perfect race if not for the flat front tire and the endless miles of crossgrain. Still a good time with some good people.
-
i would like to thank all the viewies for staying and waiting for Gumby to finally show up, I really appreciate the support
