So Why would your "buddy" Bob want to join a club with you as a member??

Probably because SGary and I are members as well as a bunch of other cool people  :P

Unfortunately Russ, Brian, me and the wives will all be in Arvin Saturday for a surprise 60th birthday party for an old 4 Aces buddy. Russ said they may get up early Sunday and trek out to the race though.

So is somebody willing to go to Shamrocks camp and pick up my trophy. Those guys are unreliable and I really don't want them to lose it before I get back to the desert.

We will be out Friday afternoon. Within walking distance of the pits if we are first out there.

It looks like there will be an alternate pit for those doing 3 loops. We will not be coming into the main pit after the 2nd loop. The alternate pit is 5 miles N on Besemer. Hopefully everyone who is doing 3 loops bike can do 50+ miles otherwise we will need someone to man the alternate.

We should have enough people there to handle it. I am pit captain for this one so I will make sure it is taken care of.

I should be out Sunday for the race, I can help man an additional pit if needed.
I am "flying with one wing" since I have a ruptured biceps tendon.
NO surgery required since you have 2 of those tendons and its common among 60+ people who are "active".
If you need a 2nd pit, try to use a gas can with only enough fuel to safely make it back to home check  ;)
But I will be there to help as needed.

Just noticed on the flyer that for 1 dollar you can buy your way in as a prospective member to DMC!
You can't buy your way into the Viewfinders!  ;D

I thought that has something to do with their insurance or something, they do it every year. Is it optional?

No 1 dollar of your entry goes towards that. It is either an insurance thing or you can't sue yourself thing.

I think this is more of the idea! Probably one more road block for the attorneys to drive thru!!!

Now that you say it, I think I remember a DMC member telling me that story, not a bad idea actually.

So, how did it go ??
Obviously I did not make it out, Had everything packed and ready to go, woke up about 4:15 AM and my arm was throbbing big time, took some more Vicodin, but no luck there. Woke up about 5:30 and decided I wasn't going to make it. Hoping to make it to work tommorrow, but not even sure about that.
Hope all is well with our riders

Everyone made it back safe. James blew a clutch. Gumby jammed his thumb. Jason finished. I beleive terry had a problem with his bike.. JJ finished. I believe Travis finished. I think thats all of us that manned up and road that monster of a course.

It was brutal.I had nothing but problems and sat around for a hour with a broke chain until some cool racer gave me his spare masterlink.I think i finished but not sure because i think i missed a check.It was brutal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Jason for a strong 2nd place finish!Something to be proud of on a tough race like this.Thanks for the pit support Viewies!

Congrats to everyone who finished this beast of a course... heard it was one of the gnarliest DMC races in years.. and that's saying something!  Good seeing so many Viewies out this weekend  :-*

Yeah,It was pure coincidence though.I had a brand new chain,clean,lubed and adjusted properly with masterlink installed correctly and it came off.

I could not believe the irony of it at the time.

On the other hand,you told me the the national wouldnt be too bad!!!The enduro was a euro scramble compared to this.See you at Four Aces.

Last year was easy.  The new sanctioning body is try to prove something I think.
