yes great weekend at pine lake, great to see everyone. thanks to bud and bill for still having us.
hair scramble and drag races were a blast. Nice to see all the new youth getting quality time
on six or eight wheels to keep this hobby/sport growing strong. Happy Fathers Day to the Dads!!

Matt offered to bring the tires to me at the the Geneva race Bridget.
The hold up is more my fault than Matts but things should be all taken
care of by July's pine lake event. So Sure hope so too

Thanks to David, bud and Billy for allowing us to attend this event yet again. The track is coming along with a new configuration, trails were great and the harescramble set up by Brad was also great. Not to awful much carnage out there but some victims none the less (me included), everyone looked to have a great time after entering the trail. Drag racing was a blast with a couple of machines standing out.

Thanks to the Griffins and the Wozcniaks for their hospitality as always. Limited time as usual allowed for not enough visiting with all the attendees, good thing they are all friends and understand.


Wishing Mike a speedy & full recovery.

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.

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.

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.

[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

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.

[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.

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

[Model Citizen]

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.
