Thanks for the support guys. Cdrookie and I look forward to giving you a bunch of reports like this. We might even try to win a few too.

Here is a shot of the trophy. Heavy bugger, but I don't quiet see the resemblance this guy looks like he is riding a utility quad.

Hey that is a really nice trophy!Some of ours they will have a motorcycle on top.(they dont like it when I break it off and give it to a kid!)

I don't blame you. Think they could buy a trophy with a quad on it?

Oh by the way I have an old pic of Dutchman Drive that cdrookie is talking about.

Way to go guys, congrats to the both of you. What do ya say we put the Dales 1-2-3 at the next race. Even if it means running 3 wide the whole race so no one can pass... I'll even let you two take 1st and 2nd since I've been the bad racer lately.

Way to go!!!

hey cd rookie....i had a flat but there is no way that could've been me holding you up. you were way out in front of me and i only did 6 laps and never even saw the white flag. I had a good start and on like the fourth turn derno passed me on the inside. I was running in the top five i believe until we got to the bottom section where those 3 big straight aways are. In the tight turn b4 the last one i went into that tree and quite a few guys got around me there. Then i got going again and could see my buddy out in front so i was pushing trying to catch him and i did in that area you call dutchman drive. But he hit that ditch wrong and it sent him into one of those mac tires bending a tie rod and he was out for the day. I kept charging trying to catch everyone but after i went through the barrels starting the second lap i noticed i had no back brakes at all. I'm not in shape enough to be grabbing my front brake lever all the time so after about 3 or 4 turns my right arm started pumping up. That pretty much ended my race there...i couldnt push it into the turns like i wanted, and i was having to slow down way early for everything...but i continued on hoping mabe a lot of people broke down or something. However...everytime i heard a bike behind me i moved over and waved him by...no sence in holding everyone else up. Then on about the 3rd lap i tangled with a tree and went over the bars...luckily someone was standing there to give me a hand..and on the next lap i got stuck in the mud in the first turn after the start. I tried running 20's this race (stupid) and they wouldn't go through the ruts the way i wanted. and on the last couple laps i had a flat tire that i was fighting with....but that wasn't me battling with cdrookie....i came in 9th and he came in 5th.

No it wasn't you. This guy was riding right with cdrookie almost the whole last 2 laps. So unless you were riding with a dale for 2 laps. Besides I think Bryan is just mad at me beating him and less at the other quad:p :w:

Had to get one in there...

Now that I know you guys are throwing in race reports, I'll have to go and read the other Dutchman thread!! Where in PA is the Dutchman? What's their schedule? Do they have a site with all the info?
