Roll Call : DW '02 Please!

[YZDezertGuy]

Alrite guys... Looks like ya'll have picked a good date! I will be up and riding by then. I've just got a few questions being that this will be our first DirtWeek ever.

I dont really know anyone from here... I dont post to often but I check up everyday. Will I be a total outcast or what?? Also, a couple buddies might want to come with, must they be dirtrider.net members also? Are there any fees to get in or whatnot? I want to come prepared!

From hearing all the talk about this one week on this board it sounds awesome. I dont want to miss it. Plus I'll just tell the folks that it'll be a great experience/gift for my 18th b-day which is Sept. 24th! WOOHOO!

Thanks everyone, can't wait!

only a two hour drive this time. i'll be there.

 

[trivial]

I will be there if there is some non MX stuff...and room for fat lazy riders.

 

[Old CR goat]

Wife says I have to go this year. Something about being reminded twice a week for the past 7 months "Hey baby, did I tell you that Dirtweek is probably in OK next year/ this year" :)

 

[Jaybird]

yzdesertguy....I found my experience to be close to a family reunion....you may not remember or recognize everyone, but you know you are related somehow!

trivial, Don't fret one bit...the list of us slow spodes far exceeds the list of fastguys....now the list of "fatguys" is another story! (largest list :))

Me, Nic, Chris, and Moma Bird (Sharon) will be there.

I think some of you in-the-clique folks with all the connections should help us get some top notch Mag exposure this year. Didn't (cough) MXA give us a mention last year?

Bite your tounge Mister! It was RacerX. Wallenburg would have been there if he didn't have to go to a bike show in Italy. Maybe this year? Maybe we can talk Mr. Cooper into getting some people to come out :think:

I would imagine that this WILL happen. I'm working on some local TV coverage.
Trivial, there is plenty of NON-MX riding at CL. 10/1-10/5 is a must do date on your calender.

i was kinda hoping that there would be more mx stuff...and i'm a fat, lazy rider. :D

 

[oldguy]

I cover (literrally) all the categories- slow, very slow, fat, non MX, Non-woods, oldbike, fastkid, like to eat, and BS. I had the best time in years last year. I even had a ball in the woods and more fun on the MX track.

 

[OldMaiconut]

I will be there with my wife and daughter Katie. Never been to Cooperland, hopefully they have a vintage freindly track that I can wring the Maicos out on.

 

[VintageDirt]

OldMaiconut, that's a good idea. If I get my CZ together, once and for all, I'll bring it along too. I just replaced the front hub with one from eBay. Now, I think, all I need to do is find some petcocks or a whole new gas tank.

Heck, might as well throw the SherpaT on the truck too. Well, that is, if I can formulate a fool proof plan for getting to dirt week. Hmmm?

I'd suggest a truck VD, carrying all those bikes on your back could be a tiny bit strenuous ;)

roughly 19 hours from here to Stillwater according to mapquest, 941 miles. A little bit of coffee and two rest stops and I should be good to make the drive :)

 

[Okiewan]

They tell me the MX track is really nice... no doubles/triples, but huge tables... a National type track, not SX. Sounds like my kinda place :)

Fat and slow? Yup, I fit in that category.

Now that does sound fool proof :confused:

 

[FLYIN_KAW]

Ya hucker and I talk about this week all the time.
Wish it were october already.
26 hours for us non-stop, full of coffee.
should be a blast finally meeting the faces and personalities to all these threads.
Man I'm glad I bought that old dirty KDX, and found this site.
But i'll be selling it today maybe. Now that I have my KX.
See you all there :cool:

Hey does anyone know how much and how to pay?????

 

[smb_racing]

I paid through paypal last year, I think okiewan shall set up something similar this year.

 

[Okiewan]

As soon as we get all the costs together, I'll put up the registration form, yes, by paypal or snail mail.

 

[Hogwylde]

If it's at Casey this year again, I'll be there for sure. If it's at the other place (oklahoma??)......well, we'll see if it works out or not.

 

[YZDezertGuy]

Can anyone post briefly what the costs are? Maybe just a guesstimated number. Folks like me need to start saving ASAP! : )~

 

[Okiewan]

Last year it was $20 for 1 day, $10 for each additional, 5 days max (Tuesday-Saturday). People can show-up as early as Monday (if you want to lend a hand, that's the day) and leave as late as Sunday.

If we can reduce the cost this year, we will.

 

[Thump]

I am in for sure. I think I will meet you there again Okie. LOL

 

[380EXCman]

I will be there.... No doubt... Hopefully we can have a good showing from some of us Northwesterner's. Its gonna be a blast.

 

[Zoomer]

I sure plan on making it.
Hey On Any sunday, I have a cyl and 2 pistons for a 98 400, mic out with in specs. (yes they are used.) Mine is now a 444! :p SET OF RINGS, AND YOUR HALF WAY THERE!

 

[gospeedracer]

You can count on me and TTRGuy being there. :)

Yea, riiiight. LOL... between you and Wendy, you guys cleaned-up on the drawings last year!

Well, what we lack in talent we have to make up in luck! :D
Actually Dirt Week is the only place I've ever won anything.

But seriously, it's the people that really make this event great!

I'm really looking forward to going again this year.
