Congrats on the win and the points lead!!!! I'll tell u what I know, Owens 400ex won't run..... He's been ridin a loaner from ECATV that a close friend of mine owns... The owner don't want it raced no mo in the D6's....... the YFZ Owen ran is now sold to someone else......... so Rookie, it looks like u might be all set!!
. My disapointing day:( ......... got an easy holeshot, made a few changes to the intake and suspension, specifically for this track and WOW what a difference... It was really opening up on the straights and I was nailing the MX sections like a MXer!!! After about 4 laps of leading McClure I was able to pull over 30 seconds on him!!!!!!! I was feelin comfy!!!!new diet was keepin me hack free!!!!no more hurlin for me!! The wife and kids were there, that was inspiring!!!! After 2 laps of my wife telling me to "chill out your walking away with it" I started hearing the dreaded sound of teeth being torn off of my c-shaft sprocket!!!!!!
I had such a huge lead, i tried to keep riding it a maybe I could pull off a second. Well the sprocket was smoking, there were sparks flying, and I feared the worst, a broken case, or a smoked C-shaft!!!:confused: so I pulled it over and sat.............................................................................
............................................................. very bumbed......:cry:
POINTS my worst nightmare happened, McClure won and I got last!!!!! that brings him within 5 points of me for the D6 points... Now I must go to and win Foot O Mnt. and the next 2 dutchmans!!!!!!!! or I will not accomplish my goal of 3rd overall!!!!!!!!!!:deal:

speaking of lappers....... Maybe EXkid or his dad can back me on this one.... on lap 6 i had already lapped up to at least 5th in the C class, this was one of the fastest Dman tracks ever...what I mean by that is the berms and grooves were tacky and the corner speed was faster than previuos weeks!!!!!! When the sprocket broke it took 2 minutes for the eventual leader to catch me and then i rode around putting, for 2 laps before the next A class guy caught up then I pulled it in!!! I was definetly on track to catch/lap u Rook!!!!! But I broke and u didn't, so shame on me!!!! Next time at the Dman, your mine!!!!

yaaaa it was fast.
i don't understand your post J? please explain then maybe i can back you up.
hows come i can't post a race report without someone talking trash anymore? a lapper to me is someone slowing me down, it's just a general or slang term i use. you have a better word for them? slower riders? more typing involved there. wait, i got it! i'm gonna call the slower racers i come up on EXKIDS! ya,that sounds good. don't disrespect me on my race report and where did i ever say i was so extremely fast? but i will say i'm faster than you.
J you will never see me at the dutchman! they held us up after the b class, i think, for a few extra minutes. not sure why, so you guys had a huge head start! i think i might catch you on the 7th!:w:
