NEEDT Pine lake

[Don]

Oh, yeah; the new track is great, even though I miss the off-camber turn, and Bud is still puffing his chest out over Two-stroke Mod.

[smudvapor]

Okay; I'll be first.

Great weekend!!!

Thanks, Little G, Bud, Shawn, Billy, and everybody else that made the NEEDT weekend work. The weather didn't completely cooperate, but it worked out and all the races happened, unlike another weekend we won't mention. Great to see everyone again: can't wait for Hamlin! I pledge that the Mighty Mouse will be there to chase Marc & Matt around once again.

Just a note: Dave G. doesn't get nearly the credit he deserves. He ran his butt off all weekend and made sure the ragtag group of amphib riders got to the starting line on time, straightened out half a dozen "misunderstandings", and kept things running as smooth as can be expected when there are 30-year-old machines and tempersmental drivers to deal with. Hat's off to you, Dave.



Don

I couldn't agree more. Dave does a great job for no other reason than to keep the sport alive and help the rest of us. I really appreciate everything he does.

On another note, thanks to everyone that helped to try to keep me on the track this weekend. I have been thinking about it and it may be time to take the A stock out back and put it out of its misery. I am looking forward to Hamlin but not sure what I am bringing yet. Stay tuned. Don, keep bringing those tools!!!

[Nick O.]

Dad and I are home and unloaded. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend. There's nothing like picking up vintage treasure on the way to the races, then spending the weekend relaxed under the awning. We even scored extra cookies at KFC!

Dave earned a trophy. He kept us from either waiting an hour at the starting line, or missing the race.

I'm still recovering from the whoopin' Mark gave me in his Hustler!

Even though team Bumpkin had a tough weekend, a blown engine in one Springer and a blown tranny in the other, we had a blast. Bud, Mike and crew did an outstanding job on the new track and everything ran smoothly. A special thanks to Bud for loaning me a transmission from his shop so we could still run and all the fellow racers who helped us get the machines back on the track. It is truly an honor to be part of this racing family.

[james gerber]

had a great time this weekend, ruff time on the track for me but it was sweet i like the new set up. nothing hurts too bad concidering
rolling three separate times. (thats racing on the edge)(sometimes you find yourself on the wrong edge)
congrats to Bud for beating me in 2 stroke mod he has been nipping at my heals for sometime now.
Also watch out for the new and up coming Derek Brinks, he seems to be finding his groove.
Great to see and hang with everyone!! sweet turn out!!

Thanks to all the fishers and staff, still the best in the business!! the new track is sweet and fast. AAA*
special thanks to everyone that rolled me back on my wheels, tried to get me going and or pushed me off the track
great job also to G. so nice to be able to count on someone to keep things in order.
PS. Bring back the water hole!!!
see yins in Hamlin.

[james gerber]

one more thanks goes out to Muddox for the hole shot award.

[jerseybigfoot]

Wow! What a track. love the new 6x6 friendly jumps. Maybe miss the bowl but not the Polish turn. Thanks Bud and Fisher clan for getting the track ready and working a great event. Thanks to David G for keeping the 6x6's on schedule and his behind the scenes efforts. Thanks Sean and NE EDT for giving us a the opportunity to show off our vintage style of ATV racing. Brad im glad the 550 I sold your dad came in handy and you had the opportunity to race on Sunday. Don, hopefully you can repair the "R" and the new pipe works out. I swear it sounds like my old Kawasaki with the pipe.

[Mike]

Sounds like everyone has positive things to say overall about the new track I look forward to seeing the videos of the 6x6's on it.

[LittleG]

Thank you gentleman but this is greatest family of lunatics I have ever had the pleasure of being associated with. Doing my thing for Bud to get you guys on the track when needed doesn't leave me a lot of time in the pits to help out like Brad said he pretty much knows my tool box and what I have but it is great to see everyone work together and help each other out as much as possible even though I didn't race I gotta admit its my 2nd day of recovery I am pretty much crippled yet but I am finally coherent enough to do this for anyone following these guys hear are the current point standings

Anyone that can come out to Hamlin Pa in September even just as spectators should do it cause looking at this points list its gonna be some serious racing with these guys going for there championships and they need all the support they can get I am really hoping that next year we can get a few more racers out here This sport is only going to be around as long as we have people to do it I got asked. Over the weekend by several people how come two years ago we had 28 machines on the line for one class and now we have 6 I said I don't know I understand people are busy or its too far for some races but the only answer I have is I don't know I can say though it is a shame that all these race machines that asked for more races never get to make it out and if its my fault if I am not getting information out in time please let me know I try to keep everything posted up to date but with a little luck I will see you guys in Hamlin

[ARGOJIM]

I'm planning on Hamlin as of now with the Turd for 4 stroke, next year I should be more active and hopefully make most of the NEEDT stuff with the Turd and something slightly more aggressive. Schedule conflicts seem to be an issue this year, hopefully others will be free next year.

So it's true....

I've been hearing all these rumors. That's great, Jim; see you at Hamlin.

[ARGOJIM]

Yeah, I'll be needing a Rookie Stripe next year so as to not get run over.

[Don]

Yeah, I'll be needing a Rookie Stripe next year so as to not get run over.

Just get one of these. 'Works for me, anyway.

[TravisW]

Aw, c'mon. That's no attitude to have. If I can get my Hustler race-ready before then AND convince my parents to make the trip, I plan on coming in with all six blazing a path to the front.

[Don]

No stats for "A"?
