Outdoor Nats at Thunder Valley

[HomeMadeSin]

I'm hyped on the AMA motocross stop at Thunder Valley, but there's no info on tickets($, when for sale, etc). :aj: I've never been to a National (or SX for that matter), so I'd hate to miss one within 30 miles o me casa.

Anyone know the scoop?

 

[bedell99]

I would say that by the beginning of the nationals we will know everything. That would be May. I have a feeling they are going to be a lot of people there. I'm guessing 15000-20000 people.

I know there will be a NM contingent coming up, we'll bring you guys some of VD's green chili stew :p

 

[HomeMadeSin]

hmmmmm, I could dig some chili. I don't know about supa hot chili in the summer though...

I did get to ride the track a couple of weeks ago...definately better than Watkins, IMHO. Going there again on Saturday.

I may be coming up that way Memorial day weekend, (wife wants to do the bolder Boulder) maybe we can get some DRNrs together at Lakewood or Berthoud?

 

[super rat]

I'm down.

 

[Ryone]

I'm definitely going to make it to this one. It'll be the first time I've ever seen a pro MX or SX event... not counting freestyle.

I live about an hour south of Denver in Colorado Springs. If I find out anything about tickets I'll let you know.

I'll meet you guys at either track over memorial weekend. Also I was at Lakewood this past weekend and they told me that parking would be at Bandimere and a shuttle would run people back and forth.

 

[HomeMadeSin]

I was there Sat and will be there again this Sat. Beats the hell outta Watkins.

Nothing new on the Nats. I'll inquire on Sat.

I was just at lakewood on Saturday, Still has a lot of work to do. I'm definetly down for a little DRN ride.

I'm down for any weekend DRN ride at Lakewood, too. I'm usually there a couple Sundays a month.

 

[super rat]

You still going to do the final H/S at berthoud, shig? I was all pumped to go this last Sunday but it got snowed out, I'll be there next weekend.

 

[Shig]

Hey Rat,
I was hoping to race yesterday, too. I had a feeling that it would be cancelled, so I went to Erie on Saturday instead. Where you gonna pit at the HS? Maybe we can get a DRN pit going.

 

[super rat]

Right on, I usually park down behind the gate, so my wife doesn't have to walk to far to pit for me. I don't show up until 10:30 or so, I'll save you a spot if I get there first.

 

[bedell99]

I think we can definetly get something together for a weekend coming up at either at watkins or lakewood. One of the centrally located tracks one weekend coming up. I know Paace/James and I will be down

[super rat]

I'd love to meet up with Pace and have him show me his penguin slapping skills, his parents must be very proud.

 

[pace]

I toss a mean seal. ;)

 

[super rat]

What happened Shig? I didn't see ya anywhere.

 

[Shig]

Sorry I missed ya, Rat. I got to work all weekend. I tried to PM you on friday, but it didn't go through. How did you do?

 

[super rat]

Oh, to bad it was a good race, track was good and the weather was ripping! I put a whooping on the boys in the VetB, LOL! Feels good to finally win one.

I hit the only big rock in all of Berthoud, like 15 minutes in, it made for a long day LOL!

 

[Shig]

Awesome, man! I knew you had it in you. That should move you up in the point standings, too. That peg looks fugly, though. You must be sportin a mean case of monkey butt after sitting for 2 hours.

 

[super rat]

Thanks Shig. Let me know if you're gonna ride this weekend, I'm gonna try to get down to Lakewood.

 

[Shig]

Hey Soop,
I'd like to ride Lakewood on Sunday, but there's a couple of inches of snow on the track right now. The weather report calls for more snow tomorrow, too. If the snow melts by Sunday, then I'll see you there.

 

[bedell99]

How awesome was riding on SUNDAY?? Got to love colorado, 30 degress on day and 70 the next.

[Shig]

Yeah, pretty cool huh, EB. Too bad the folks at Lakewood decided close up shop. The nerve of those guys to be closed on a beautiful Sunday! I imagine you went to Watkins? Erie was killer yesterday.
