Loco, dead engine, on the bike. All AMA National rules will be enforced. If you REALLY wanted to, however, we'll let you straddle the front tire. Two years ago we had a LeMans style start, it was hilarious. A lot of guys crashed in the slippery grass while trying to run to there bikes. Can't do it in a National though.
Jimicarl, I think you need to quit that night job cleaning the booth curtains at the porn shop.
Just checked the 5 day forecast, it looks like its gonna be a dry one :) I'm getting pumped, does anyone know how long it will take to get to the race from Portland?
Endo... you guys did one heck of a job on that race. ;) Thank you so very much for giving me the best weekend of the year! :aj: It was great meeting ALL of you guys and gals from ETRA. I can't wait to schmooze with you again. Next year won't come soon enough.
So I was sitting in the Portland airport last night drinking a cold one looking out the window watching the rain come down refleckting on the days event and thinking of how dusty it was just hrs ago and I came to a conclushion as I ordered another beer, that someday I'll come back to race here again.
Thanks Etra for putting on a great event, I can't wait to see the coverage that ESPN2 got (motoworld maybe?) I had a great time and think it was run well.
One quick story: On the first lap I was going down a steep wooded hill, the kind that you squeeze your but cheaks on and at the bottom you came out buy a paved road for about 20 yards and the shoot back to the left going up an off camber wooded hill. Well I missed the left and before I new it I was in the middle of the paved road thinking i cant believe i just did that!!!! I flew over the drop off clipped the ditch and was doing a stoppy on my front wheel, Just Like A Real Pro (LOL). You guys had everything marked well I just blew by the turn>>>>
You have been Funkified Wheelie! Thanks a mil for making the show, results will be posted on www.etra.net shortly. Anyone who finished that race in one piece is a good rider. Thanks again dirtyd. I'll start a new post this evening.
