ETSU May 20th and June 3rd

[ztlh13]

I will have the timing equipment to do qualies and then we will seat everybody into a series of motos. The course is unchanged from last fall and won't be changed until mid-summer, so there will not be any problems with storms unless they are hitting on Saturday.
Format: Practice anytime you like. Run qualify at 5 pm. Start motos ASAP. Keep all alcoholic beverages out of sight of parking area(Dry campus).

The usual suspects can find lodging at my house anyone else can camp in the yard! My yard is less than a 1/4 mile from the track. Make reservations promptly oh and no swearing if my kids are out!!!!:mumble:

[profro]

I'll be there!



To get bumped at the earliest possible time. I suck.

No, he's wearing regular adults shorts (Dolphins, I think :think: ). But to him they fit like capris.

Hey Terry,
Are you running the campus DH course as well, or is this just MTX?

[profro]

Bring that little SX of yours and ride the MTX. :nopity:

Probably be two man, and no $$ unless someone wants to put some on the side. Motos will be seated randomly. The qualifying is really just to get some practice, but the top three will not be placed in the same moto.

The DH is always open and the ETSU guys are actually trying to build something new around the slalom course. Be gentle they are learning! Winner does get bragging rights which is better than $$!!!

[Jeremy R]

I am Captain Freebird.:)

[frznnomad]

yo profro if they wont let you my crew will take you in with that rockin mullet lol. im so jealous

[AirAddict]

dang, I wish I had a "crew" :wonky2:


We are not really frznnomad's "crew". If anything, he is part of our "crew" or our regular riding group. Actually, he's not really part of our regular riding group anymore because he moved 4 hours away :rolleyes:


Nevertheless, we'll be at this race.

[bizutch]

[tomvan72]

How do you spell mystery?

[bizutch]

How do you spell mystery?
Can you use it in a sentence please?
It is a mystery what Tom does all day at his job.

Mystery: m-y-s-t-e-r-y...mystery.:oink:

[ztlh13]

Yeah I think Tom has more internet time than all of us, except maybe Butch. Just what the h$ll do you do all day?

[bizutch]

mortgage finance, commercial and residential...I starve.

[stubby]

ill b there!

[sneakysnake]

come on, i know somebody can tell me what the course is like

[stubby]

starts off with a short peddaling section then a sharp turn onto a bridge you get one pedal stroke in then you go of the drop to flat, someone said 6ft but i dont remember, then if you do the drop and dont take the detour, its all really flowy, a open section with some rocks you can launch off, some braking bumps, then some little hills up and down then you come down go off a drop then you turn to the right go up around a tree and then go back down and hit the rockgarden, the course is very fun, just look out for those trees, and dont take any of the detours, especialy around the bridge, the rockgardn is hella cool. but yeah the dh is totally tits, i would ride it on either a 4x or dh bike, just make sure your 4x can hold up to the rockgardn and drop, or you could take the detours and pedal your arse off. up to you.
sorry i cant describe stuff for crap.

[sneakysnake]

sweet, thats enough description for me. thanks

[jet]

I will be there. For sure. And by the way; I don't do shiote at work. I'm an inspector. I'm always wore out at the end of the day though. Too much walking around my plant looking for parts and other crizzapp.

And yes, I know I'm not the Tom you guys were talking about.

[Murphy's Law]

does NO ONE have pics of these courses????

[Peete]

I have some of the dual course from a couple of years ago. But I hear it's changed up some.
Tom, do I need to bring my pop-up again?

[stubby]

the dual course is fun, starts up in the woods on a hill w a fastspeed run, then turn and a few hundered feed hit a little roller double and then a huge tabeltop jump, then a washy berm and a jump and a hip jump thing then a washy berm and then the rythm section tipe thing then jump and corner then a big jump and then pedal to the final big jump. I think. thats how i remember it.

[downhill66]

so im guesing their is a dh course, i heard their wasent?? i gues they where wrong

[stubby]

yeah the dh course is fun!

[stubby]

so the race is on the 20th now? help?

[Tattooo]

Where is this at?

MTX, or is there a chance of a DS or some maybe light DH?

[stubby]

o ok i see the title i am retarted.

[ztlh13]

Everyone remember that this is a friendly competition that will broken down into an Expert and Sport class. There will be dual with qualifying, but with BMX motos meaning everyone will get at least 3 race runs before the semi-finals. The four racers with the most points will race head to head for the title and the best trophy ever (some junk from my house).

The DH trails are always open and we will time runs there as well. Mostly for bragging rights but I should be able to find more junk for the champion.

Directions: Take I-26 to Johnson City, TN. Take exit 31 and turn left (either direction) and approx 1 mile on left will be Southwest Ave (ETSU Campus). At four way take left (Still Southwest Ave) and then take the first left. At the end of the road is the physical plant recieving warehouse. Park there and the slalom is on the left.

Thanks Terry.
That is good news.
I don't give a hoot about prizes, but timed runs are always fun.
Break out the paper plate number plates and lets race.:)

that's the spirit man.

but i do have a hilarious image in my head, of him rummaging through his garage looking to clean out unwanted crap under the guise of "gathering up prizes".

yard sale, hinton style.

2nd place, Expert Men - a broken weedeater. :)

[Tattooo]

Think it would be worth the drive from the Beach here in Virginia? You TN Kids do know how to party, so maybe...

[Peete]

Considering what is available for you to ride in Va. beach, yes.

[bizutch]

3rd Place Expert Men - Rear swingarm of Yeti DH9..."slightly" used.

[Tattooo]

I will see what can be done within the budget then when I get back.

[ztlh13]

Actually, I have the DH-8 swingarm up for grabs.

[Murphy's Law]

so whats the story with this illigitimate race you guys got going on may 20th.... got any pics of the course? is it hardtail friendly? you racing mtx, ds, or dh? whats the deal.... i'm bored out of my mind waiting for my 303 and need to fill the voids (massanutten, US Open, Sugar) in my DH Race schedule. give me some info. and pics!!!!

[profro]

Yeah, bring your hardtail. The DS course is a lot of fun and totally competitive on a HT. The DH course is rideable on one, but some sections will slow you down a bit. It will be fun.

[Tattooo]

I'll be there if I can find someone to watch my dogs.

Anyone suggest somewhere to throw up my tent?

And what's the show, race Saturday? So can I come in for practice on Friday?

[Tattooo]

One more thing:

Is my demo9 gonna be too much gun for this show on the DH?

[stubby]

no ur demo will b good for the rock garden and the drop to flat .

[Tattooo]

Killer. Anywhere to pitch my tent? Oh yea, and anywhere I can put my tent to sleep?

[stubby]

w tents i heard it was a dont ask dont tell, and etsu is a dry campus too.

[dhbuilder]

Anyone suggest somewhere to throw up my tent?


this i gotta see.

[Tattooo]

See what?
Fat kid with a tent.
Nothing to see here.

[Tattooo]

Race Saturday at 5pm? I am still stuck in Norfolk due to my wife's crap, so I might be able to get out tomorrow real early and drive like hell.

Is there anything on Sunday?

[ztlh13]

We got some rain last night, but the course drains really well and the sky looks like it is going to clear. Should be fine for a late afternoon race! The DH will be a little greasy at first, but should get better by the time we do runs.

[sbstianfreeride]

hey can u call stubby on his phone because hes there and he doesnt see nayone, so hes calling me to see on ridemonkey if any plans have changed for the race. (704) 607 3516

[Tattooo]

We ended up staying here, just too hard to get out for a Saturday race right now. Work plus family stuff just makes that a killer for an 8 hour drive.

[profro]

Turn out was low, but it was still a lot of fun. We each did 3 timed runs. Andrew Parson won the DH. I don't remember his fastest time, but a 1:38 sticks in my head. No prizes, though Andrew really had his eye on that broken weedeater. My fastest was a 1:41 and I think stubby got a 2:09. There were two other guys that ran the DH as well, but I don't remember their times. The course was muddy and real slick. The dual course was way too muddy to run, so we called. I believe either Andrew or Terry would have won that as well.

Good pics man; I wish I didn't have to work today.

I would have been there and cleaned up! The weedeater would have been mine!

I did find that I lost a bolt for my suspension linkage though. Can't get a new one 'til Monday.

See you guys sooon!!!!

[stubby]

actually i think i had the dual on lock down:rofl: hahah great course man shame about the weather.
