Gomer, I'll be your teamate if you are interested.

One lap at a time seems do-able by then.

Hey Gomer I can't attend but can I send my Gate fee somewhere?

 

[High Lord Gomer]

Dave, yes! Ivan, see below...

I'm not sure if I'll be able to attend, yet (gotta check Ricky's travelling soccer schedule), but if I can't, I plan on sending some additional money along with some of the guys who are attending (Ivan?)

Sounds good to me.

Thanks for getting this up, Gomer... you didn't even need the blue pill... :)
We need the best turnout possible for this event. Tell your friends, get the info to your local dealers, spread the word... we will be very thankful.

Gomer,
I agree with Stumpy, thanks for posting this. Hopefully we'll get the majority of the southern spodes out of this race. Even if you don't "race" hopefully you'll come out to ride. It should be a good time and it's obviously for a great cause. Stumpy has been there a few times and said that it's fairly open and not extremely technical, so the casual trail rider should have a good time. That'd be me! :)

Click here for a post from a while back that details Mark's accident. He is making progress and his attitude is second to none. He was released from the hospital on the 25th of July and it's great to have him home again. :thumb:

From Mark, his family and his friends we want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers over the last several months and we hope to see you at the race.

Thanks,
Scott

Here's Mark at a race in Georgia this year.

 

[High Lord Gomer]

Oh my, notice he's riding Wardy style (no gloves)!

 

[bscottr]

Two things he can't stand: Gloves AND goggles! He usually has very nice blisters on his hands after a race and always a hole on the top side of left index finger from the clutch rubbing. He's tough! :worship:

 

[truespode]

Gomer, give Travis a call. Maybe he'd want to run this thing as well?

You and him can race my bike and I'll team up with Danny (if you can bring him)?

That way you and Travis can race for some positions and Danny and I can ride for fun. I may bring out the CR150F and use that around the course so Danny can ride just his bike solo and I don't ride over my head on the course.

I'm really jonesin for some riding if you can't tell.

Any of you Southeasterners who can, please print off some of the SE&TRA fliers, http://setra.org/pdf/BENEFIT race flyer.pdf, and take them to the local shops.

I got Street & Trail in Augusta and will hit the Columbia, SC shops today.
