Practice Day at Thunderbowl: Dec. 27

[stgsali]

Alrighty then, there has been some talk of trying to get a bunch of people together for a practice day the Sunday after Christmas, December 27; at least on the motorcycle section. Practice would cost $10. Depending on what time people show, you could practice from noon till dark. I know I am going to make a show just to ride and test a couple of things.
For those of you that can, it would be opportunity to ride and do some bench racing. I know family takes precedence over anything else during the holidays, but you could talk them into coming out and experiencing first hand what your hobby is. Who knows, maybe you could let them ride and get them involved in it.
If there are enough people that want to do this, I will see if we can get the gate opened earlier.

Nate, Ben and I are planning to make it. I  don't know of anyone else that might. Who knows, maybe Scrawny, Ward and anyone you might know. I'm trying to talk an old motocrosser into coming down and riding for the day. We'll see what happens.

[supervcycle]

so far it's just me. ward needs to send out a mass email to see who else is comming to make it worth while. i'll show up anyway. just hope they(thunderbowl people) don't get pissed if only three guys show up!

Alrighty then, girls and boys, the head honcho at Thunderbowl said the gates will be open at 10 am. Says the posse is welcome and to come on out for a fun filled day!
So let's go have some fun!!

Another update: Kyle Spradlin, Doug Howard and Al Weinberg are going to be showing up. Matt Sibbick, Kurt Brady will be there too. If it all goes as planned maybe we can have a practice race or two. John Rourke, CJ and sandbagger have spoken up. I think CJ and sanbagger may be the only 2 quads. heh heh heh Ben and I will be there to have some fun too. So if you have a little free time and a new "toy" now is the time to come out and shake it down. First SDTA race is going to be here sooner than you think!

[Huffman Racing]

Me myself and I will be there also.

So far, the weather sites I have looked at, there may be some drizzle but is supposed to mostly cloudy. Temps. should be upper 50's to lower 60's. Right now the radar shows no rain at the track. There is still going to be someone at the track rain or shine.

Thanks, loading up in a few and heading that way..

Today was a good day for practice. The most rain we got was a few drops here and there. Nothing that made for bad riding.

There were even 20 bikes with a quad thrown in for good measure. It looked like a small race nite.

There were only a couple of get-offs. Dakota did a high-side coming out of 4 landing on his maximus gluttomus (his tush). I think the brain damage is minimal. Tim did a low-side going into 3. Hurt pride. We even had an impromptu race between Kurt Brady, Kyle Spradlin, Doug Howard and Matt Sibbick. It was pretty close between Kurt, Kyle and Doug for 3 laps. Then exiting 4 Kyle saved a high side but bruised soft areas that hit the seat.

There was talk among those of us there about doing another practice event like this. If you would like to do some more, let me know here or pm me. you can also email me at stgsali@bellsouth.net. I will do what I can to put it together.
