Julian and Gumby have the pit stuff, sans an easy up so you should be good to go. I didn't check the clean rag supply and I think it's getting low so maybe you could pick up a bag of white towels to throw in. Dale will reimburse you. Also had some problems with some of the dump spouts leaking a bit. I'll work on getting new gaskets but won't have them by this weekend.

Post by: Bob Johnson - D37 Rep on April 20, 2009, 11:54:37 am: So I "ASSume" Julian and Gumby will be there with the pit stuff??
If not, thats OK.
We have an "Easy Up" (not official club colors) and have plenty of towells/rags. I know about the leaking spouts, so I will check them before we splash fuel on someone.

Yea, Gumby said he wants to do the national so they should be there, not sure Friday or Sat. Maybe Gumby will chime in.

Post by: Bob Johnson - D37 Rep on April 27, 2009, 12:34:33 pm: Well Gumby, JJ and SGary made it out alive!!
48 mile first loop with an alternate gas stop, fortunatly neither of them needed the Alt Gas stop or things might have been interesting with a small pit crew.
Nice weekend, a little wind, but not too bad.

Post by: Gumby on April 27, 2009, 06:11:42 pm: i heard JJ got 3rd in class and 19th ammi. I dont know how Gary did exactly.

My dad said i came into the pits about 10 min behind 3rd in class and i ended up catching him shortly into the second loop and came in 3rd in class and 22nd novice

Way to go you guys. Tough race and you did well, we're proud of you!

Post by: Bob Johnson - D37 Rep on April 28, 2009, 11:35:10 am: The quick work by the Pit Crew surely helped ::)
They rode well and deserve the credit for doing a great job.
Heard over the radio, lots of riders broke down and many had flats and a few injuries, so just finishing 2 loops is a major accomplishment. _.._

Post by: Donn Nay on April 28, 2009, 01:22:36 pm: From reports on the district board it was a very tough but fun race. Good to see the clubs stepping up and getting dreative with some of the courses.
