sheerider1026 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 dam, i really didn't wanna take the cub to haspin.. but i guess i will.. lol.. J/K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
run Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) The jar is a good idea. Since its at Haspin I think we should do a drag shoot-out. If we get 20 people....20 bucks to enter 1/2 payout 1/2 to the benefit. I could get a shop in nashville to make a little throphy. For those of us with trail bikes we could do two laps around the orange course timed....same deal, I think Rhino would have that in the bag tho. Thats a real good idea too... We could have the regular "donation" jar for whatever people could spare, a drag shootout (20 entry, 1/2 payout 1/2 benefit) We could do timed drag for the seeding, I'll bring a big dry erase board and will make a braket. And then we could do the same thing around the course, but a little twist: everyone does a "timed" lap to set up the bracket, and then we'll seed them accordingly, and everyone does 2 times laps for the bracket. 20 to enter that on, 1/2 payout, 1/2 benefit. I can get a couple T-shirts made up: BansheeHQ 2009 "Quads for a cause" "Drag Shootout champion" ^^ Same for the trail. This could really be a badass day, and we could raise some real money. I'm extremely excited that you guys are on board here, absolutely amazing. I think this just shows that there are still GREAT people out there! With those two events, and whatever is thrown in the jar, I think It could be REALLY close to what I need (pending the turnout) Edited March 15, 2009 by IndianapolisBuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider1026 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 sounds great man.. good ideas guys!! so sounds like a day of drag racing to me.. thats a good idea also.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
run Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) sounds great man.. good ideas guys!! so sounds like a day of drag racing to me.. thats a good idea also.. Yea, there can also be trail riding and etc.....the drag shootout shouldnt take too long. 5-8 seconds per run...single elimination... Another Idea could be a "split the pot" with half going to the benefit and half to the winner...... So far: 1. "Donation Jar" 2. Drag Shootout ($20 entry, 1/2 to payout and 1/2 to benefit) 3. Orange Track Timed rund ($20 entry, 1/2 to payout and 1/2 to benefit) 4. Split the pot ($2 ticket, 1/2 to winner, 1/2 to benefit) I know people are bringing food and a grill...this should be an amazing outing This is the list for the trip, but some havent been on this topic 1. JasonsBanshee - committed to the cause 2. IndianapolisBuck - committed to the cause 3. MikeNick 4. AWR 5. RollinRhino 6. T_Shee - committed to the cause 7. Jugriggs - committed to the cause 8. 2 STROKIN' 9. dragbanshee - committed to the cause 10. Misssppelllleddd? 11. CB6979 12. sheerider1026 - committed to the cause 13. docjcwatson- possible commit if bike is done 14. blackedout96 - possible commit to the cause (pending schedule) Edited March 15, 2009 by IndianapolisBuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
run Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Also, anyone who donates/participates I will be taking your actual name and address down and you will get a formal thank you card from our family, and later in the year we will have another get together/ride and I will provide ALL the food and drinks for those people!! Myself, I am donating a pretty decent amount, but will wait til after this event so I can give it to them all at once. It's going to be a huge surprise for him. I had plans on trying to get him to attend the event, but my aunt says he has too much "pride" and would decline any type of help. So, what i'm going to do is have the event, and afterward deposit it straight into his "treatment account" and not tell him until they deduct it, then he can not decline. And to think my Banshee will still be in my garage after this is just simply awesome.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonsBanshee Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 We need to get donations. My Wife's uncle came down with cancer and we did a benefit dinner for him and raided $5,000 in one night. I will do my part in contacting places like Rocky Mountain ATV, FAST, HERR and who ever else to see about donating whatever they can. Then 100% of the proceeds could go to the cause.... Also, I will see if a Mod here can merge these two threads so we have one Haspin thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollinRhino Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Make it the MX track on bikes and your on. I'll only race a 125. I know my Banshee will get stomped on that drag track since it isn't all that quick yet. On a bike on an MX track I stand a much better chance.

Not 16 and 17....just want to make sure I have a clear calendar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonsBanshee Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 May 12th and 13th. Memorial Day weekend will be way too busy there so we went with the week before. Well, we got the threads merged so lets plan this benefit ride out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeDan Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 May 12th and 13th. Memorial Day weekend will be way too busy there so we went with the week before. Well, we got the threads merged so lets plan this benefit ride out! Ill put myself on the maybe list as well,opening a new buisness in about a week so i cant make any definate plans as of yet. I would love to come out for this benifit,my son was diagnosed with and beat cancer about a year and 1/2 ago. The guys from the HQ were awesome during this terrible time in my life,and i would love to be able to give something back. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Shee Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) man this all sounds really cool. sounds like i better start saving my money. if you really start pushing this drag shoot out you will raise some serious money and get a lot of badass bikes there Edited March 15, 2009 by T_Shee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
run Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I agree, I'm tempted to not even bring my banshee and strictly run the shootout, split the pot, and etc....it's going to be awesome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragbanshee Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hey Jason, how do we keep others off the tracks while we run? Are you going to be speaking to the owners about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
run Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hey Jason, how do we keep others off the tracks while we run? Are you going to be speaking to the owners about it? Yea, I was thinking that too....I'd like Jason to head everything up, sounds like he is good/familiar with this. I told my aunt about it, she is SO excited, she cried. I told her I dont know what the specific amount will be, but we're gonna do what we can for them. I am FOREVER in debt to banshee HQ!!!!!!! I think myself and Jason will head it all up. Once we finalize our plans and etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
