[QUOTE="Okiewan, post: 170039, member: 16119"] Thanks to everyone who participated... the events were great! We will do something about the sandbaggers next year :) , 60 signed-up for the MX Class, 9 for the A/B, LOL! 43 riders lined-up for the Bikes With Lights Class. We had to run 2 qualifier heats of 30 C riders, taking the top 20 from each to fill the gates with a 40 rider field. Great Racin’! For those who didn’t make the main… there’s always next year. Thanks again to [b]OT[/b] for calling the races, I hope everyone could hear him, good stuff! C Rider [b]Ryan Evans[/b] gained a half lap lead early on (A/B for you next year!), but from there back, the racing was tight, scoring this moto was big time nerve racking! A few laps in, [b]Jeff Allen[/b] clipped the rear of another bike, causing one “exciting” face-plant in the fast, first turn sweeper. After an Ambulance ride to a local hospital and an IV for dehydration (they actually brought him BACK to the track!), he checked-out fine, but sore. [b]SPECIAL THANKS to member “FireMedic530” [/b] for the assist in several get-offs (including [b]Bswift’s[/b] endo in the whoops and a separated shoulder in the woods (not sure who that was, and the sweep after the Night Time Poker Run) during DirtWeek, we all REALLY appreciate the fact that you “brought work” to the event and helped out in such a big way! You are the man Tim. From all of us, thank you. The local fast guy [b]TJ (Travis Shaeffer)[/b] had [b]Billywho[/b] wondering "Who is this guy!!??" as they ran tight for the entire [b]A/B Moto[/b]. Billy had the helmet cam on, got some great race video while it lasted (1 lap)... living up to his new nick-name (BusterWho), the cam came off his helmet and just about strangled him... :confused:, made for some interesting video :eek:, I cringed seeing my new cam flapping in the breeze. Speaking of “cringe”, [b]Thump[/b] was handed a nice surprise after the A/B moto (Billy was riding Thumps 420), the smell of antifreeze and oil all over BillyWho’s boots proved evidence of a grenaded Thumper, causing Thump to miss the C Class Main, after scoring a respectable Third in his qualifier. While the helmet cam did in fact fall off Billly’s helmet, it was recording when he pulled into the pits, needless to say Thumps reaction to the dead YZ can’t be posted here, LOL…. Sorry David, next year bud. In the [b]40 rider “Bikes With Lights”[/b] moto, [b]Offroadr[/b] repeated his starting line biff of last year and again was the last out of the gate... last year when the gates fell, he found that acceleration in [b]neutral[/b] just won't cut it. this year he learned that jumping the gate causes the gate to go vertical :) ... he worked his way thru the pack and had an epic battle with [b]Jeff Fredette[/b], finally succumbing to [b]MR. ISDE[/b], to finish off of the podium in 5th. Needless to say, some of these guys should have been in the A/B class running against the MX’ers, this class was flying! I guess woods guys can go fast after all :) The [b]Women’s A&B Class MX[/b] Organized by [b]Pokie[/b] was a complete BLAST to watch!!! (I tried to enter, they kicked me out). Of note was the dramatic increase in speed “[b]gospeedracer[/b]” showed this year; the first gear-only-rider of last year was getting around FAST on her new KTM! The speed was there, but [b]Stacy[/b] and local racer [b]Joslyn[/b] got around her for first and second in the A Class, while [b]Scooter[/b] had me shakin’ in my boots taking the top step on the podium for first in the B Class… Believe me when I say this, she went sooooo much faster than I’ve ever seen her, I thought someone else was wearing her gear! The battle for first and second was a back and forth affair between [b]Scooter[/b] and [b]Cycledelic[/b], neither giving ground. [b]SideShow Sal[/b] collected the third place trophy. The Poker runs ran like clockwork this year! (Scooter says we need to remind billywho to pull Thump's joker before the scoring begins next year). After the great debacle of last year, we put some serious thought into this years, led by my sister [b]Crispy[/b]. Multiple check points and a longer course laid-out by Offroadr & Mully made the event flow smoothly. The night time poker run is always a blast (even if you are only scoring ); seeing all 43 of those bikes (most with “real” lights, some with some crazy inventions strapped-on) cutting thru the woods and flying thru the GP track valley is something to see! The hoots and hollers as the riders came by the check points indicates fun was had by all. The rolling [b]Knick-Knack by MikeB was memorable![/b] [b]Oldguy and Patman[/b] will supply the summary for the Jr. MX and [b]Offroadr/Mully[/b] will provide the Team HS commentary as I wasn’t able to see these two events. I’ve got to admit that once the competitive events were over, I felt relieved… there were no major injuries, the races all went smoothly, providing the spectators with some great action. Thanks to everyone that helped plan it, run it and score it. DirtWeek '01 Official Results: Team Hare Scramble 1) T. Rose / Brandon Freeman 2) D. Beckwell / W. Graham 3) FireMedic 530 / R.
