[QUOTE="2strok4fun, post: 1066489, member: 29753"] I got out there Saturday at about 10:30 and it was allready in the hi 80's. I spoted John's truck bed set up and a shiny KTM RFS next to a large rock that was used as a campfire spot. I pull up and attempt to level the trailer. I was flying the knucklehead flag and the trailer makes 2 attempts at rolling downhill. DOH! The afternoon is too hot to play ride so we sit and enjoy chips salsa and a cold beer under the shade awning. We spot Scar ride by with kids in tow. We later find his camp with Lori his better half hanging with friends of thiers that came out earlier. Tim informs us that Thumbs is going to make it out but when he spoke to him at noon, he was still in bed, I remember that "before marrige stuff". John and I head to the Luau and bring pork loin that had been in the smoker all afternoon. The Luau offered up some good grub, and we didnt need to mess the kitchen up. Tony showed up (I was beginning to think he wasnt going to make it). We sign up for the night race and go to prep for the ride. The night loop was a kick, not terribly challenging but it was fun. After we sat around the fire for a bit then headed to bed around midnight, seemed earlier but with the night run time got away. I must have slept great cause it seemed like minutes later it was time to get up. John made me some eggs for breakfast. Thanx again pit dad. I programmed in the route sheet knowing some of the quirks of the watchdog now but I still didnt verify correct, oh yeah, got to remove the 1st speed change the watchdog always leave in. After that mine is correct, but Tony and Tim are coming up wrong. Arent these the guys that helped me learn the watchdog?? I take off on a test of Johns new scoot. Nice, a KTM 250 4s with a big bore taking it to 350ish or somthing. Turns well, and I gave it the Jack Rabbit chase test, did well, I could get used to that. I got back to find I had a couple of minutes before our minute 9 start line. I finish getting my camel bak and goods ready and head to the line just as we are released. DOH! I look down to find I failed to flip my card over from using the backside lastnight. I rush up to the 2.9 to give me enough time to flip the card and re-use the tape. I liked the day course, got confused on when the break mileage was. It was just a little tough for the temps. We did manage to jam all 4 on our line into a check for zeros (sorry Tim if your leg got some wheel rash). I took a slow speed low side in the early part that smarted, when I removed my shoe lastnight, I thought I may have broken somthing in the foot, it has nice colors and is swollen, but not as bad today. As the speeds got faster I couldnt keep up the speed to the check at the waterfall (where I fell) and droped a minute, the cool water provided was nice tho. The trials tire still is a big plus in getting traction and allowing me to clear stuff better than expected, its downfall is in the fast whoop sections where it gets a little squirmy. Ill keep the trade concidering the bulk of what we ride. The Heli was awasmome! At one point it was shooting me but I was almost 2 minutes hot when Tony goes smokin by. After passing a possible I try unsucessfully to catch him to see if we can get some footage of us diceing it up. Oh well, guess it wont be used in "On Any Sunday III". Tony, without timekeeping was unwilling to push thru the whoops with the temps and called it quits after his camera appearance. Tim and I stuck it out, there were 5 finishers in amature and it looks like I took a 3rd place finish. I was tired on the drive home and bedtime came early but my aching foot woke me up a few times, but I dont think it will cause any future probs. All in all I give it :cool: [/QUOTE]
