Thanks guys!
I really owe a big thanks to Jeff at the quad shop. I know he doesnt feel like he did much, but he took time out of his day to give me some advice on setup. It paid off!
AtvRulz - the 450 pulled VERY strong. I used the Blaze MAP at Jeff's recommendation. It put the traction on the ground and got me going in a straight line.
Derno, I'll try to get a pic of the screws, I threw away all the packaging. It made the biggest difference on the front tires because I could steer out of spins.
Thanks again guys. Glad you liked the story.

Great job Lap!
Thanks for not making me look like a bigger putz, I know your wife had some better pics of me pulling my cdale out of the snow bank. I had a great time, especially blowing by corey as he was doing 50mph donuts all over the track.
Looking forward to the WORCs races, I am sure we can put the cdales on the podium again! And I can't wait to read those write ups!

Hey Lap, I decided that I'm going to tape all my races this year and send them to you for the write up. That story puts a smile on my face every time I read it! (I'm up to 3 now) That is the best feeling winning that first race! Trust me, you'll be bench racing that one for a LONG time! Great job once again!

I wanted to ride in that race SOOOOOOOOO bad! And Washougal is only 15 minutes from my front door:cry: ! I took the wife and kid sledding at Grandma's house instead.

I have to say as his wife and photographer it was very excting to watch!! I think I was more excited then even he was! His riding was awesome that day!
He was running 8 minutes laps on his last 3 laps (when I remembered to time them) which is really good considering the weather conditions. Plus, he finished almost 4 minutes in front of 2nd place.
Paul you should know Joe wasn't being nice about which picture he posted of your crash. I missed the shot of you pulling on your grab bar. Oh, and running right back into the same burm. The good thing is the vision is permanently embedded in my memory. It was quite funny! I am still chuckling about it.
Great story as always babe!
