7/10-11 Squilchucker DH Roll Call/bitch fest :o)

[RhinofromWA]

Hey everyone!

How about that infamous Wenatchee venue we all like to talk about?

Picnic tables....

Spools of Death....

Finish line curb...err I mean jump. :)

Who is going?!

I am, most likely.

PS- Looks like online registration is up so this is the time to save $10 off that entry fee to put towards a beer or 12 depending on how yuppie you are about your beer. ;)

I had no idea they were having a bitchfest in conjunction with the race.....I'M IN!!!!! :thumb: :D

[freeridekid]

I'm pretty sure I'm going, no holidays on this one, right? :rolleyes:

[toughguymagee]

I heard a nasty rumor about the Forrest Service not allowing DH racing on the upper woods section. If this is the case, then I will not go. If it is in fact a rumor, then I will be there. I think it will be a good little warm up for ID.

[evilbob]

I will be there and Evil Jr. should be healthy again. He wants to go. :thumb: :evil:

Sould we just contact Wendy to find out the status of the rumor?

[MUTOLI]

I am going....don't know if the husband is...he may be on call that weekend. Count me in though! Hopefully the course isn't as crappy as everyone has made it sound....what is the spool? :confused:

No not yet, that makes to much sense. We need time to get all worked up, get everybody complaining. Jeez if we call and get a strait answer up front we can't complain and might have to go ride for something to do.

Kinda like a spool you would find in a batchelor's apt as a coffee table. :D One used to hold line/cable/etc.

There is a spool they turn on its side (so it can rool) and bury it in the ground and put a board as wide as the inside of the spool to launch off of. :) I enjoy it when it isn't like hitting a wall (to steep) like last year. The year before they buried it lower and the angle was more resonable. It is usually down after the parking lot. twoards teh bottom before the last bit of woods.

I think I'll send her an email today and see the deal is.....Hrm I wonder why they would close the top? Fire danger? Spotted owl sighting?

[oly]

Im so there.

Rumors? What are those? It would be nice to get a scoop. I'd ask the forum, but last time i asked about the the status of a WIM trail it turned into a shouting match and dont care to have another one start. See if wendy will answer you...... ill be there regardless of what the course is like.

Just imagine how early we will get home if they dont run the top.....

[evilbob]

Just imagine how early we will get home if they dont run the top.....

Hhhmmmm...........shuttles are quick there...........last year was a 2 run format............maybe with no top section we can have a three run format........just as long as there are picnic tables on the course.........
:cool:

[Snacks]

We are using the exact same courses as last year....the forest service will only allow that....they will not allow new anything this year. So, fear not about the upper section of the downhill!

Thanks snacks. Now ask if they are going to have more than 1 functional shuttle truck, and if they are gonna build a real finish line jump.....

Last year I shuttled the guys up to the top in our truck. Gino said it was okay as long as the trucks full :thumb:

so you bringing the trailer then?

[bibs]

Im going for sure..I will be at this one rain or shine!

[NateH]

I'll be there for sure. You know I was just thinking about the course and i decided that this year they should make the feild into the "picnic table section" after the first picnic table jump they could put another one with like 4 tables but take the middle two out so it would be like a 25' picnic table gap. Then as long as we are on the subject they could put some more picnic table together and make a rock garden on top. Then they could put some picnic tables with cinderblocks under one side somewhere and make a picnic table berm. All of those should be forest service legit and besides seeming like some sort of observed trials course they would actualy be pretty darn fun. Lets here some more do-able picnic table ideas.

[Mike.rider]

ill be there from the 13thtill the 19th for sure were camping there and if i can find a ride over all be racing

[mplutodh1]

I SWEAR I AM GOING! the gang at the shop will just have to do without me for a weekend, I am GOING!

[oly]

How about a full loop made of picnic tables? And for MMike, make a flaming hoop out of them at the finish line jump....

[Snacks]

so you bringing the trailer then?

Nope. You I can fit 8 in the back of the truck.

[DHRacer]

Thanks Snacks, for posting the update on the course... i heard last night, through Rocky, that the FS was going to let us use the Upper section since the race was already on the calendar and that there really wasn't any time to come up with a new option.

However, next year will be interesting as it's not looking like we'll get to use the east side of the park (side that lodge and upper section of the DH course is on). I know Rocky and several other local riders are working with the FS (or shall i say, TRYING to work with the FS) to come up with some viable options for a new course.

[crash13]

i'll be there. and hopefully i'll be well enough to race this one.

[rainbow_smoke]

me and allsk8sno will be attending- WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :D

[Ice Bullit]

I will see depending on wheather we get something to replace our van or not, we might get a truck :) and that would be dope... It all depends on what is happening I guess :rolleyes:

Also is that course as dusty as Chellan? If so I will bring a dust mask this time around :D

[oly]

How have you guys been sicne the accident? Everything ok? Any luck finding the tool who did it?

Course is dusty. I dont think quite as bad as chelan, but since its hot and dry i'd be prepared.

[toughguymagee]

GB and I will be at the race. Looking forward to seeing all of the :monkey: 's out there.
