Ric,
This looks like a great weekend, but I have to work Saturday.
Some of the other guys from ARX will probably show up.
Maybe next year, it looks like it is scheduled for 09/01-2/12, and I will make sure to get that Saturday off.
Have a great weekend and let us know how it goes.

 Guest of honor at The Marty Tripes vintage Days will be the "Flyin Hawaiian" Big John DeSoto. It will also be DeSoto's 64th birthday Luau Saturday night, bring your hawaiian shirt.
Lots of old pro's will be in attendance for the Carlsbad race track reunion.
 For a long weekend we are going back to the 1970's.. I for one am ready to to leave the present for a bit and go back to a time of no worries:-)

Ric, I am heading out to cruise the pits (are pit bikes allowed?)and will keep an eye open for you.

Hi Greg,The race info doesn't say No to anything.I like that.I would think a pit bike ridden responsibly would be fine-there is mini classes.I'm working on a deal to pick up another yz125d in so cal but if that doesn't happen i'll be bringing my sl70 and (if it fits)a mountain bike just in case.One of these days i've got to get a trailer.See ya there,
                        Ric
p.s.-last minute poor planning,etc.have made me miss a few of these but i won't miss this one.Have thurs. thru tues. off work so its a definite go[8D].This and Day in the Dirt-(Thanksgiving)will probably be  my last out of state races of the year,so hoping this one's Epic.

Not enough riding time this year to feel in shape, etc. so I am not planning on bringing out the Penton. I do have a 1971 Honda Trail 90 (plated)that is perfect for cruising the pits.

I went out to The Ranch and had a great time spectating and cruising the pits on my '71 Trail 90. Bruce McD was there on his Penton but I suspect that he had issues because he was not riding at his usual fast pace. There was a clean 72 Six Day for sale at $2,500 and another one in the pits but was not raced. Did not see Ric which was a disappointment but otherwise had a great time.

Hi Greg,I was there from Fri. Nite thru Sun. noon or so.Didn't bring my Penton which probably threw you off.Rode the Ktm150xc in the run what ya brung(last race of day-sat.)and yz125 d in Evol.1.(Race 6).Had a great time.Was pretty busy sat. with riding 2 classes and recovering.Neat track,great time!

Darn, I cruised the pits and was looking for either a Penton or a bike with number 86 on it. Anyway, glad you had a good time in that Arizona type heat...

Check it out - Racer X's  Simon Cudby has put up a film about the event.  Very, very cool.  His work is almost as good as Brian Kirby's stuff.
