I'm hoping they build the track at the same place as last year. We specifically got a room overlooking the track! smile.gif

Plan is to be there Sunday. Will keep an eye out for you and hubby again!!

So what happened on Saturday? I seen the #777 in the staging area, then we walked up and around to see the uphill section, watched a couple races, sat thru a couple grooming breaks, then seen the Doo Talk sled come off the line, went by twice..and that was it?? What broke? did you wipe out?? We couldn't hear nothing on the hill from the announcer.

Where did you guys park? We didn't get pit pass' but one of the guys let us walk in at the opening where the demo rides where, just past the tunnel, we walked up to the next gate where the staging area was and a Peak - n- peek guy was there, he wouldn't let us go any further.

Saturday was a great day to be at the races and just plain be outside.

Racing was good, but it seamed like rider / racer turn out from last yr was down. How was Sunday??

That #322 runs pretty good.

We thought the track was pretty good, at least it was pretty decent for watching, that first up hill section was long..!! You had to get up on the hill to really see most of the action. But the warm temps made the track slushy, and it just seemed like they'd run two class', then have a groomer break, run two more, groom......it kinda dragged on.

The Demo rides were cool, we basicaly rode everything they had there, except the two ups...LOL. the demo area was also taking a beating in the warm temps.

Talked to Form III (from Chaut. Lake Club) for quite bit...

Saturday's crowd was decent, but a few of the guys and that dealer that was there from Erie Pa, all thought that more would have shown up, but probably didn't think it was still going on with all the warm temps we have had.

A few pics from Saturday.....i took over 90 of them thru out the day, photobucket issuper slow for me, so i only uploaded a few.

The whoop section:



#777 in staging :



Me at the demo rides,,,beating up on the new ones....



Doo Talk on the down hill:

Great pictures! Those are views I didn't get to see. I pretty much stayed in the pits all weekend. I was waiting for a snowball (slushball!) to hit me! laugh.gif

#322 is Jesse James Bonaduce from Somerville, NJ. First year racing (right Jesse?), and he's doing awesome. He's 16. smile.gif

Dave was in the lead on that race (I forget which one it was), and had a pretty good lead. He was on the right side coming over the tabletop, and it kicked him off to the side. He took a hard fall. I am probably not explaining it very well, but I'm sure he will do a better job. smile.gif His back was hurting and his arms were chewed up but he's OK.

P.S. Our trailer was actually in the section by the start line, where all the mud was!
We were on the end right next to the road. smile.gif

Hey Drifthopper thanks for posting up some of your pics! Too bad we didn't get a chance to bump into you... I also have been so busy working on the sled getting it ready for this weekends race that there hasn't been a lot of time to reply to your question about what happened.

The sled was running well and had me out front till I took an excursion off of the table top.... bighair.gif huh.gif
Here is the play by play.... TgC_emoticon142.gif laugh.gif

Coming into the LH'r before the table top due to the WARM weather it was like riding through a swamp.... I powered through it but in the process I never got myself totally square with the table top before launching, as a result I took off center/left and it carried me off the left of the table.
As you know the chair lift was on the LH side of the table SO I had the decision to try and ride it out and save it, but also if I powered out of it the track could grab and catapult me into the chairlift so my decision a millisecond later was let the sled go.....
Unfortunately I still paid the price b/c it was not a soft landing by any means..... It took me a little before I could get myself to catch my breath and move... wacko.gif
Anyway all is well that ends well... back up and ready for more! thebee.gif right_on.gif
