District 37 Racers and Curious Thread

So are you racing Pala GP?

D.

naw. the wife and I are getting ready to head to mexico for a little while....

Any of you locals doing Elsinore GP this weekend ?

I signed up forever ago..but being that I am closing escrow in under a week on a house and my fork seals blew out the other weekend I am having second thoughts of not racing it. But then I just watched the course preview video and am thinking I may show up and just line up in the back of my race and trail ride the thing. I mean I am all signed up and everything but hideously out of shape and havent really gone riding searous since June

I will be racing Sunday AM with the vintage bikes... last year there was one or two Sachs 125's that pretty much trail rode it.. I may hang back with them.

what to do what to do

I so want to be down there this weekend.. have fun! the video of the course makes me want to load up now !!

I am pretty sure I am gonna do it now.. Jeremy McGrath will be racing in my vintage class on a '73 Elsinore ... So one day I can tell people " hey i use to race with him"

It sucks that I didn't even know about Elsinore GP until this post ;( Looks like a great course.

you can still show up and race just make sure you sign up 2hrs before your class runs but it is expensive $$$

I pre reg'ed at like $75 a few months back

Or I may just go sit in the beer garden and talk about how cool I was the one time I raced the grand prix

ok D37 thread hijack over

woke up sick as hell today..didnt make it but saw this photo of some dude on a KLR going threw the mud jump :huh

That is the problem, he is going through instead of over :) Judging by the pictures and videos this was one epic course. Next year I'm doing it.

:huh

Who is racing this weekend at Pala GP? I'm heading out on Saturday night.

Took private motocross lesson on Monday, it turns out I was doing absolutely everything wrong. With my new skills and a little bit more confidence I could probably finish a place or two ahead of where I was last time. Picture from training:

Not me. I'm saving all my chits for next year. Maybe see you at jackrabbits?

and thats a freakin cool shot!

The sun was going down, there was smoke in the air from huge transformer fire nearby, and my friend who took this shot is pretty damn good. I love it!

so what was the class?!

One on one with Travis Preston. It was more valuable than I expected, it turns out I was doing pretty much everything wrong. We even practiced starts, I will be able to grab all holeshots from now on :)

So are you going to race dez or moto? Desert starts are dead engine and tricky to master.

My main goal is to get better as a rider. Now that I know some basics I could polish my skills. 10 years of bad habits will not be easy to get rid of though. I'm still down for a lesson or two from you.
