I knew you were a lovey mushy guy!!!!!
Tony Olivario from CJ had a haro Juinor whole bike for WAY cheap(100).. IM me if you need his number.
OK, It looks like a go.. The dog has some sort of infection in her colon and we were given anti-botics for it. Didn’t break the bank either so this weekend is a go…
When can we set up our tents? And where? Only been to EHT once and that was at the double race 2 weeks ago.
Thanks alot to everyone for the well wished for the dog.

Just got some bad news… Don’t know yet if we will be able to go… We noticed our dog loosing wieght in tha last week and since have noticed he bowel movements are not good.. We explained what we are seeing to the Vet adn we have an appointment tomorrow.. She thinks it is very very serious.. Sound like something they need to do surgery on.. If thats the case then no national for me for sure, and not to many rcaes for a month or so.. will keep everyone informed..
Keep talking and you’ll see the air mattress get pulled outa the closet and blown up .. I aint no kid anymore. 27 is killin me…LOL
Got my tent and stuff allready to go.. The base has all the gear for rent. Very cheap. I spent 46 bucks for EVERYTHING I needed for 3 days of camping. Tent, Cooler, Lantern, Stove, Cots, everything.. Now just need to fill the cooler’s, 1 with beer and the other with food, and some more beer.
Dave PBR????? Dirty and cheap.

He said “the more I lose, the faster I get.” I thought it was one of the best comments ever made about moving up, racing, and life in general.

Tidey, FWIW, not to rehash another thread, but I took my kids there last year and my 8yr old (7 at the time) raced and got smoked. It was pathetic, he hated that track until we went back at the end of the summer for the state championship where he did ok. But you know what? It was a learning experience for him. He certainly doesnt have the highest self esteem, and it was tough love at its finest. I felt bad for him. You know your situation, but I think it is a great experience for a kid, even if they do get smoked. My sons name is Colin. He will be on the bright orange Haro. Look us up if you are there. Your son sounds alot like mine.

I will be down there Friday night for sure… Still looking into SatUrday and Sunday… $90 to for a learning experience is hard for me to swallow. I want him to race but at the same time dont want him to get all mad and want to give up..
Dave, you gonna Race??? I am taking the Gack down there but just for looks… Son MIGHT race??? Dont know if I like the whole 3-4 year Rookie’s in his class.. I dont think he will have a chance..

Doctor’s orders: no racing this weekend – significant rib strain from digger at CJ two weeks ago. A rain out would not upset me!
But – as of now – I am racing the National – possibly against doctor’s orders. (wife not too happy either)
Only the First come back counts Craig!! Ribs will heal after the nationals.
And correct me if I am wrong your son got 2 first and NO move up points (because he didn’t beat anyone his age) That system stinks!!!
This is true!!! He got thirds point wise. He was just happy as hell to get that HUGE throphy they had left over from Veterans Day. His Jaw dropped when he saw how big that thing was.

I in now way was bashing your son!! To me 2 or 3 years in a Rookie class is crazy. I think the NBL has to totally change thier whole thinkin about this. I now am looking forward to going back to ABA. If you weren’t expert you didn’t get shit. I think any kid who has clip peddles shoudn’t be in ROOKIE.. ABA you get these kids who have their Walmart bike and rock the Novice class, move up to Intermediate, then when they have thier confidence build up thier parents spring for maybe a race bike.
New NBL Rookie’s never even have a chance to build up that confidence.
My son got 2 first place trophy’s last week since he was the only 8 year old, I didn’t have the heart to tell him why he got first.Prime example.. This last weekend my son goes down to EHT for the double race. He is the only 8 Rookie. So they bump him up to 9 rookie. These 2 other kids in 9 rookie has clip pedals and 1000 dolar bikes. I ask them how long they ahve been racing. Both of them said alittle over 3 years!!!!!! One of them was #1 Regional, He then proceeds to tell me that he is waiting until after the National He will go up to NOVICE!!!! The kid was fast but after the last corner just sat down and let the other kids pass him for the wins. Come on now parents, this is absurd! My son is just begining and only raced 3 times. He has gotten faster each race but nowhere what he will have with 3 years of expierence that these kids have. I raced in ABA like some of you and they went by AGE!!! If you were a 9 Intermidate there was no-way you were wining the state title for 9 year olds.. My son would be proud to be a 8 NOVICE. He would never, nor would I ever condone him to sandbag a race so he couldn’t go up.
