Krandall, If I have fun with it I may go again 2 weeks after the 27th, If nothing else check out the track a different weekend for entertainment, its somewhat close for you 

[Krandall]

yeah, I told the woman about it. Let me know how it goes on the 27th. If all goes well. I'll have to check it out.

[Bert]

My buddy plans on being my pit man    Guess he gets the camera & can open my bottled water

[Krandall]

 

That's to funny!

What time do you plan on getting there Saturday?

I have a few things going on, I see trials start @ 9Am. I'd like to watch a few at least. and I don't think it's TO far from my apartment.

[Bert]

I got juiced up on Sat night & somehow  convinced myself my buddy needs to be the jockey since he's 145 lb's.  He has sunday open this weekend so were heading up sunday in the am.  My buddy has a Artic Cat 700 4x4 & I may try to convince him to race his quad so I can race mine.    "Duh" (Homer Simpson)

I guess we'll be there by 8:30 sunday morning & everything is wrapped up by around 5pm.  Finals will start around noon.  As of now I'm the pitman with camera & bottled water 

[Krandall]

sweet, I'll check it out @ noon distance/drive time and talk to the woman, I'd love to see you throw down a few runs and meet ya!

[Bert]

Sounds good, you racing the Scion or Coronet? 

[Krandall]

I'll bring the scion. 

[Bert]

Time trials start @ 9am today & the forecast is 51 degrees ....brrrr  with a high of 70.  Should be a nice day at the track followed up by a bike ride

My buddy is driving today since I beleived a lighter jockey would be the ticket.  In the last couple of days he's been practicing his runs & will knock out some runs this morning before we leave.  He was shifting late & I did some runs to show him how I ride & he was thinking I was crazy for shifting so soon.  I was able to get into 5th much sooner than him.  He needs more time practicing starts, when the front end comes up I think he gets a little nervous   

[Bert]

WE didn't pass tech inspection this morning.  Quad needs a 1/8 aluminum chain guard covering the top & sides.

We watched some time trials & decided to go ride Appleton & had fun.

[Krandall]

That's crazy. For what purpose do they require something like  that?

I'm glad you guys had fun anyways @ Appleton!

[Bert]

The chain guard can be .060 steel or 1/8 aluminum.  Not sure if I have the proper tools to fab a steel chain guard  I don't own a TIG or know how to use one so...
I have to enlist the help of some friends & see if this chain guard will be a reality in 2 weeks.  As of now I'm not getting my hopes up, all I can say is we'll see.....

[Krandall]

could you just get some basic specs measured up and take it to a weld shop? shouldn't be to much.

[Bert]

Well most of the guys I know would be willing to work for beer. So if they have time after 5pm everything should work out  Being the busy fall harvest season here I can't speak for my friends time. Otherwise I'd ask nicely & walla

[FoundArealQuad]

I could have one made for you this weekend. Aluminum or steel just let me know what you want.
