My good friend, racer and fabricator has built many race cars and buggys - Clint Newman 619-599-3650 if your in North County he just bought a machine shop behind Churchills bar in San Marcos and can do anything we would need.

First thing I'd do is unbolt those crash bars he just bolted on

Fixed it for you PMB! However for two up the SE seat is a bit lacking ...

Soo had this on my calender but last minute decision to fly back to Jersey for my bro's birthday. Get em Loren!!!

X2! - close enough

Bait or flat falls? I'm heading out next Tuesday on the Vendetta. There are Schools of YFT 4 miles wide coming up.

No dirt options to Palomar except Nate Harrison from the west, none from the east. Doans pond silted in after the fire and is gone as far as I know which recently was 3 years ago.

Meet at Kountry Kitchen in Ramona @ 8 for quick breakfast. Then head up 78 to Southerland Damn to Black Canyon (easy dirt road). Mesa Grande to Pine Hills to Boulder Creek (another easy dirt road) to Descanso. Slab it up old Hwy 80 through Pine Valley to Buckman Springs to Campo to watch Flat track races for an hour or so then off to Alpine Brewery for lunch. Then on your own, I'm slabing back to Ramona.

Actually I'm thinking we will hit Campo 11:30-12

Sondra, I'm guessing 11ish. Loren, hope you can make it! Stop by for breakfast if nothing else

Yup and yup!

Ummm yup! Thanks there Magellan

Uncle Champ, no not racing this but going to stop by and say hi to FT buddies. Not to be a snob or dis the efforts but this track is not really flat track suitable. Frank us a good guy but they cannot run knobby tired bikes with flat trackers. The DG surface dies not stand it to it. I so many races on a motor and tires and choose to use them elsewhere. Having said that I will ride the 950 over there to spectate and support. I'll post a ride ds rude up tomorrow

Cup holder for "drinks" and basket for everything else. Was a life saver for me.

Torn on the v-twin thing, narrower and more torque, although the newer parallel's are getting skinny. It better be 40 lbs less then an AT or capable of being made 40 less.

I never knew exactly where this happened but now from the map it looks to be just north of the Caselli memorial.

Picking up bits and pieces that 2 maybe 3 riders passed during the race. Not sure if these deaths were crash related or if the extreme heat was an issue. This year's course did not run along the Pacific and had a lot of inland sections combined with temps as high as 110-120 made for brutal conditions. Remember Dakar this year cancelled part of the race due to similar conditions. I'm sure SCORE will be at the center of debate over this course routing. Also an 8 year old spectator girl (possibly an American) was killed and mother injured about a mile from the start. Prayers for all those involved.

I'm running the 50+ class only this time. Not sure what Chris is running.

Oh and pretty sure they have a run what you brung knobby bike class for those of you wanting to have some fun!

Chris (ozzy) and I will be there representing SDAR This is a new track they built and they are bringing in experienced track graders to keep it together this time. It's also a slightly bigger track which was needed. Practice starts at 10:15 and I'm guessing heat races about noon. If you come on out stop by and say hi in the pits - #45E

Great trip, make sure you stop at Antlers Cafe and bar in Young. Also have a french dip made with Navajo bread at Tuuvi Cafe in Navajo Nation.

Sent!

I'm in! Me likey the one on the left - how do we do this?
