2017 spring pine lake

[George]

I have to thank Team Bumpkin. Thanks for a great race, Dave! I had a blast trading places with you. Brad, that was a pretty rough course. Thanks...I think.

[George]

That was my muffler. Thanks for picking it up Nick. I got it back from the Buffalo Gang.

Fine work Nick

[Nick O.]

Big thanks to everyone who makes this event happen. We had a blast hanging out with you guys!

Also thanks to my camera aid Shawn. Here's a little video of the hare scramble carnage; everyone put up a good fight and made for an entertaining event!

[JoeMeg]

Had a blast as usual. Great to see friends and do a little riding. A huge thank you to the Fischer family and crew for making this possible again! Your welcome,Jim. Looking forward to the fall gathering.

I would also like to thank pine lake for having us. My first time there it is a super nice and friendly place. Wish i could have spent more time there. Hopefully in the fall. Also thank drew for the starting fluid and tom for about
100 gallons of air to remount my tire. Got us into the night ride but ended short when it came off again. New tire already ordered but wheels are out of stock.

I would never just putted around the track and held up the guys who were actually racing just to be a spectator. I was respectful of the racers and took the back trails to watch the race

mudd ox was not running the Harescramble officially they where spectators

OMG So they were on the track with a machine as a spectator? Never heard of spectators allowed on a track with a machine of any kind in ANY venue. My how racing has changed. Are quads letting spectators on the track with their quads now? No wonder people might be reluctant to take 6 wheel racing seriously.

I gotta finish the race posting I got interrupted at the track while I was doing it but mudd ox was not running the Harescramble officially they where spectators Also I have a full box of plaques that I never got until Sunday after everyone left so I will give you a plaque the next event I see you at already packed in the camper thanks to everyone that showed up without you I have nothing to do

[ARGOJIM]

Drew I believe it may be that in our haste we forgot to register going from drivers meeting to parade lap to racing, there were plenty other machines out there, the pace of the afternoon/evening was good though I for one was distracted a few times and probably missed something.

I forgot to mention a thank you to Miss Mona as she handled the scoring of the scramble, oh and Joe for the refreshment post retirement.

[Don]

Thanks once again to Dave G, Bud and the whole crew at Pine Lake for a great time. We had a blast and it was good to see everyone again. I was once again a DNF in the hare scramble, but at least I DNFed with all my wheels.

[dave phelps]

Myself and the other 3 guys that came with had a blast again as expected!! Would like to thank ALL that are involved in keeping the pine lake races and trails going and maybe if I can avoid breaking all my toys I may even try the hare scramble next year. Egoperf thanks for the gut warming sassage,it was tasty but a tad warm for my innards. And Toys4me and Sonny for bringing me a few things and a complete machine for my Lil buddy that didn't get his chief done in time!! LOL. Bumpkin for the tranny adjustments to the max and to the guys that made sure I made it back to camp when my machine lost the left side steering
Thank you all
Dave and Friends

[amphibious drew]

I got a DNF as well, but was further down the trail than ArgoJim.

I'd like to thank the Thursday crew that helped me tinker with the Attex engine and swap Max IV trannys. At 9:58pm we fired up the IV and went for a great night ride after a few test turns in camp.

2017 pine lake hare scramble results




1st. Dave "The Country Bumpkin " Smith
2nd. George Morrish
3rd.Max Howick
4th . Sonny
5th Kate North
6th . Caden Ethel
Dnf. Don Kinyon
Dnf. Alex Howick

So, if we had my radiator fan figured out and the coolant hose didn't pop on the last lap, I could have possibly had 2nd or 3rd? I didn't know there was a "springer" in the race until it passed me, and then Don? . I honestly didn't expect to even get that far (ie only made 1 lap last Fall - little by little w/ the RIM). The hare scramble is becoming more and more fascinating to me. Thanks to (Michael?) for lending me a Max and glasses to run the parade lap with. We had a great time and appreciate everyone keeping this going in any form. Dad mostly still got to do his favorite thing for fathers day. The Sunday storms may have dampened the usual track racing anyway.

Speaking of, I wonder if Pine Lake have any flooding Sunday evening? I saw on the news Erie, PA had 3 inches of rain.

So MO was a DNF? How come it isn't listed in the standings? Anyone else not on the list? Heard it was a blast for 1st & 2nd.
