i don't know about the typing? who drew the short straw on the way home?
RodneyR
Short straw? If you mean who drove us back,Tim(titainium tim on vbmx) was the designated driver.Porter was banged up a bit and Tim knows about the Datsun 510-610 stories of Jesus and me,so we were out!

Robbie that's too funny! Thankfully Mike gave him advil so after we got some food he was all good.
BS
Twas a fun night. I hope Porter is feeling alright. Can't remember a the last time I was in a full rack at a local.

I guess this should go in the Atwater thread but oh well
RodneyR
Porters good to go,he was at the track today then off to the gym.

I was at the bar watching football...then eating a burger. I guess that's why I was in fourth and he was in third.
RodneyR
BS I think we have the same trainer! Didn't get to meet you but next trip I'm racin. Full rack 40 on a 20!!
CA10
You know what I watched Kent Elliott today (Oak Creek BMX)....he looks ugly FAST on his 20"!! he beat Rick Lowry twice while the practice gate, ouch!

Do you think he should turn Vet Pro???

I asked him about his gear and say that his both tires look so fat @ 20x2.125 with 175/44/16!!! I'm look like blink.gif

i'm glad porter is ok i was a little worried about him. he went down pretty hard, i told him when i got there last night to watch out for that hole in the top of the last turn. it should be gone today. keith told me last night that they were going to fix it today.
Titanium Tim
How did I miss this forum and thread for so long. I need to look around the site more. See you guys next weekend in Atwater!
robbie stanford
hey tim if you see porter tell him that the hole in the last turn has been fixed a sign has now been placed on the turn. it says porter's patch laugh.gif

where at? 20'' only or cruisers too drinks.gif
nickdawghaters
Its in the early stages but Ill give you the early leak.

All girls clinic put on by Rodneys Favorite UCI-ABA-NBL all time greatest female. Will run 3 hours or so limited to the first 15-20 ladies and $30 with a goodie bag that will be well worth it.

29&under and 30&over Freestyle goon race where hopefully we get a turnout like last year, so funny watching guys who can flow a park like its nothing but on straight jumps and pedal power things got interesting LOL

Pro-Am, Im calling out DR, Oie, Hughes, Alexis, every Nor Cal duck that we call a Pro rider better be out there to dice it up for 125% payback and prizes. This will be where the promoter lays waste to the local talent. smile.gif

Dirt Comp! What? Yeah thats right, gonna groom up those jumps outside the second turn and get em running for a jam/comp style thing. This will be aimed at the younger groms because alot of the dirt comps these days are full blown huge courses, so I want to keep things tame as far as the course so that the lil guys and racers can get through and have a good time.

Sponsors- You wont believe the support Ive already gotten confirmation on but I can tell you for the $10 thats the events will cost you will almost be guaranteed something in return and a chance at some serious swag.

Location is ideally SC PAL Im giving the info to Mr Hughes tonight, he seemed 50/50 when I initially approached him with the idea and asked for more info which im providing tonight so fingers crossed we can have it there. If that falls through I have Livermore BMX in my back pocket but as always Ideally PAL is the facility since its so close to the majority of the local guys. Ill need help guys and more info soon and the flier will drop in a week.

BMX is BMX 24" 20" Hell you can race me on a 16" if you feel comfortable. I tossed it out to a few 4x MTB guys and said if they get 16 riders we can do a MTB event and do the same 125% payback system.

All proceeds if I even break even that is will go to Stay Strong Apparel AKA THE MURRAY FUND!
robbie stanford
keep us posted on whats going on drinks.gif
RodneyR
Nickdawg you mean all girls plus one ,right?? cool.gif
RodneyR
Robbie, bring the cruiser. Nickdawg events are real laid back on the "rules"of bmx. they are still real races but more to promote bmx and having fun.
robbie stanford
rodney keep me posted when it's going down if you need my cell # call cato
nickdawghaters
Got a general "ok" from Mr Hughes so PAL location is locked. Flier is 90% done and will drop this week just finalizing sponsors right now. Big names and little names all involved. Some heavy hitters Ive even heard are going to try and come out. Dirt jumps Im searching for a dependable builder right now, but sometimes if you want it done you gotta do it yourself kinda thing smile.gif Any questions?
RodneyR
Sounds like another Great" Nickdawg Presents "Event. biggrin.gif Better be bringin your A game nephew, those special guests you asked me about might be showin up!!! Roynuts on the Mic.?? Gonna be run what you brung open or 20s & 24-26s??
nickdawghaters
In typical fashion if enough 24" guys want to do a seperate class more than welcome to, if guys wanna run 24 or 26" bikes in the normal classes more than welcome to. The only classification that will be fairly concrete is racers in one rack freestylers in the other, but as always we can have 4race 4freestylers rounds and stuff for the hell of it. Pro-Am last year was a good watch and this year should be right on par again. Downtown afterparty is even in the works? Haha sponsors are lined up, super one off number plates will be distributed to Main Event guys in the freestyle round, and if youd like to order a plate for yourself in advance $15 will get you one and I promise you this plate will be a keeper. Gotta thank Rob @ www.johnsonbmx.com for helping out big time with the plates. Someone clue me in on how to post pics on here and ill load the flier...
nickdawghaters
Haha Rodney sent me a step by step how to and I still wasnt able to post the flier. Classic- www.dawginc.blogspot.com yeee click the image and itll blow up for you smile.gif
RodneyR
NOR*CAL WINS AGAIN!! Nick gave a top supersecret for your eyes only , sneek peek look at the winners plates tonite SO KOOL!! And they look better than the Redline Cup plates IMHO. GREAT job to Rob @ johnson bmx.!!!!
iceemike
norcal needs to win especially since it looks like the manteca track will be pouring cement for the starting hill tomorrow so we should be on for the north south cuo next month in manteca. Hope everyone shows up
RodneyR
iceemike , do you have a date or dates for the manteca races ??
nickdawghaters
I know guys in manteca have flat pedals sittin around waitin to ride!

Rodney- Sean Anderson had a good point in asking me if I can have a 30&over flats race that wasnt pro/am just all the guys like porter,you, etc. to have a good ol class. Im sure Dean would be up for it and Im sure like Thomas T would be psyked too. Im all for it of course and should be able to do something in the way of prizes so spread the word! www.sjbmx.com has a flier up and www.dawginc.blogspot.com also. Bad news I got word today that Napa is running another pro-am that weekend sad.gif Sucks cuz I tried to make mine not conflict at all, but what can ya do?
robbie stanford
i'm old school and new school i can ride flats or clipped in good2.gif
