I found out yesterday that the racing club I belong to lost a member on saturday when he crashed while racing a National event. He was married and had kids so I feel for his family. I didn't know him that well since I don't race anymore but did know him and he was a great person. He will be missed by many.

Rest in peace brother....

That sucks man.

I stopped racing in 2005 i think. My son and I covered the whole state of California and parts on Nevada for almost 15 years racing Cross Country/Hare Scrambles and a few MX races. We had a blast mostly regional District 36 events some national, he raced 80's then 125's and i raced a 250 in the Old Fart Class. Did a few Vintage Races also on a 76 cr 125 elsinore, those were some of my best finishes. Then my son found Girls and it all ended :-(

That's killer. I raced D37, MRAN and the SRA Grand Prix series for a while. I ran the San Felipe 250 race once and was a standby for a 250 Pro team for the 1000 a couple years ago before letting go of racing and riding dirt. AMA Vet 250 Expert here, you?
I will forever miss racing.

I'm still in my 30's but have been beat up enough over the years to feel like I'm in my 50's. I don't regret any of it though, you know?
Elsinores are great bikes and I used to have an Elsinore 250 that I used to ride around at the races if I wasn't racing.

I never got out of the Intermediate class, I had to make it to work on Monday :-) Some of the best times with my son I miss it too.

This is a Gran Prix at Hangtown MX in 2003.

Totally. My son was just getting into it when I stopped going out but he's got a nice collection of trophies from the kid events. I don't know how they did kid events in D36 but all they had to do was finish in D37 and they got a trophy and usually a shwag bag from a race sponsor. Little courses near signups usually.
I was self employed when I was really getting after it so didn't worry too much about going down. 250 2-strokes FTW!!!


EDIT: That's a cool pic btw. It didn't load at first so I didn't see it. I'll see if I can white out my numbers since they have my name and stuff and if I can, I'll put one up of mine.

(you mentioned being 8 years old when listen to that song, so I looked it up to see when it was made, then google-ified "songs of 1988" to see what was sharting back then.

I must have been nine then. I'm surpised I actually got that close, I'm bad with times.

About the dry ice hash. The 6 pounds of dry ice easily went though about nearly a pound of trim and was still there at the end. I got over 65 grams, for something around 17% extraction rate.

Thanks for the help everyone. Wish I could send some to you all.

EDIT: And bucket head... man I was just thinking about you yesterday my man. Good to see you around. I still remember the leaves on the SLH you grew that were as big as a basketball. Those things were epic. You been good???

I'm striking out on the race pics here for some reason but here's a pic of the last bike I had after a night race.

We changed PCs and all of our pics got put somewhere on this one but I'm having a hell of a time finding them.

That pic was taken at the end of a pretty long whoop section that had a bit of a mound at the end and it just kind of popped me up a bit. Not knowing what was on the other side, I was a little nervous hitting it in 4th but I was close behind the guy running 1st overall so I just went for it, LOL. I never did pass that guy but it's all good. We're close friends now and still hang out even though I don't race anymore.

I get up early these days so I'm off to bed. G'night 600!
