The pictures came out great.  The trails look great too, so I guess Barber is now on the list for next year.

Met your Grandmom down there, Brian. Seemed like a very nice lady.

Those pictures are great!  Thanks for posting.  I've never "raced" with spectators before.  There were lots of cameras going off out there.  That was a lot of fun down there.  I had a blast this season in general. Can't wait to get my six days going so I can put my "cheater" bike away.  

Thanks again!

Geezus, Brian -  never looked at results. How fast were you a 250?!?

Nice pictures. Thanks. I have to figure out a way to get down there.  

Lou - I do dishes and take out the trash.  Got room? :)

Not fast enough. I got bad starts and had to work my way forward both motos. I went 4-3 for 4th in class, but in the second moto another 2 turns and I would have had 2nd which would have gotten me 4-2 for 2nd in class. Better starts and I would have had a shot at the win.

Brian you go very fast from what I saw.  I think you are lapping me in one of the pictures where 2 Penton's are in the frame at the same time.

74 250 Hare scramble
73 CMF 6day
68 6day V213

I do OK, but its all relative. That day there were several guys a good bit faster than me.

And thus one of the conundrums of AHRMA racing (or the AMA VGNC at mid-Ohio).  You ARE a fast guy Brian, but - at least in the Expert class - there can be a wide range of fast on any given day, depending on who shows up to race.  Same can be true in Intermediate, but usually not so "wide" a range of talent

BTW - is that Dwight Rudder on the Ossa SDR in the XC race? Cool.

I have beaten everyone in that race in the past except for 921 on the Kawasaki, he is a 33yr old ex pro from Louisiana. He had bike issues, so I beat him, but not in a straight up race.
