spoin39 Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I had a great time with all of you, we need to do it more often, we rode and worked on quads all day, not mine of course!LOL I taked fixitrod into climbing a pretty big hill, even though his quad wasn't running quite right, and broke forgot to use his brakes coming down a hill into a deep bowl, yep, a nice fat endo throwing him over the bars luckily, he was fine except a bruised ego. We let'em eat on the dragstrip for awhile, different winner almost every time. Went riding in the woods where I ate alot of Mrmatt's roost(not bad, needed some salt though!) and had a all around good time! I even called in sick so we could ride more together. I had a blast with all of you, great people! I unfortunately have to go to work now, funny, I feel much better! Hope to see all of you soon!

mrmatt Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Yes, definately a good time. Gumby where were you at? Man, I wish I would have climbed that hill. I'll definately get up it in the next few weeks. Seeing you guys riding around w/out fenders was the final push that I needed to cut mine off. I got out the cutting wheel as soon as I finished washing it. Next time I'll bring the salt shaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoin39 Posted April 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 What hours do you work matt? If it gets nice out in the next few days I'll stop by on the bike. I of course am cursed on the 3-11 shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmatt Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 6:30 - 3 (or 4 or 5 or whenever I get done) M-F. If the garage door is up when you go by, you should definately stop. If the door is closed, then I am probably not home or I'm busy with the wife and don't want any vistors . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broke Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 You guys just couldn't keep that to yourselves, huh? Well...I guess the truth hurts. The more I think about it, somebody may have dug that hole while I was up top. The trip was great, we'll have to try it again soon. I have a bid in on a set of bigger balls on Ebay. We'll have to wait and see how that goes. Might have to try out Haspin Acres too. Later broke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the badlands a few years ago and saw the dragstrip,but was closed and covered with sand in some areas.Did they make a new one or open it up.just seemed like the drag strip was never used when I was there.

mrmatt Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 We were racing in a field in the back of the park. You get there by heading South from the parking lot on the paved road, then turn left at the Y. Then follow that road all of the way to the back of the park. Past where the steel tubes go under the road. After you pass the tubes, the field is up on the right. The field was off limits and covered with grass up until about a year ago when people started racing in it. Once the racing started, the grass didn't last but a couple of weeks. Now it is totally bare. I have heard of another dragstrip there, that must be what you are talking about, but I don't know where it is (was).

scotts96fast Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 The old dragstrip was on the west end,Not far from the motorcross track(which was not all that great).....worn down....I'm thinking of the black top strip at least it looked like one....The black top changed into a strait like of sand whoops at the time.

I took most every race i was in xcept for that time i thought i was in 2nd and launched in 3rd , by the time i got it in the powerband there was too much catching up to do . Could have done better with a little less tire pressure though, but oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 (edited) I had a great time. It's always good to meet great people and riding with them. My jetting was way shitty since it's the first hard ride since Dumont but I still had a great time... .except the torn tendons in my foot..lol. I did end up at the doctors office the next day. My foot slipped between the nerf net and the frame on a bad landing. I got dragged a little and my fat ass was twisting my ankle...lmao. Oh, spoin and Banchetta would have a blast riding together. Both crazier than hell. Edited April 27, 2004 by fixitrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoin39 Posted April 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 It was great to finally meet you rod, i wish your quad was running better that day. We need to do Silver Lake! I am in when ever you guy's wanna go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 It'll get better. I just need to find time to get that jetting right. Once I get it it will be fine. I have not had it jetted just right since I've had it... at least for indiana. I had it really close at dumont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
