6x6 Racing at Ashtabula, Ohio June 18-20, 2010

[Mike]

not sure if either of us will be racing this year. Beth goes in for an MRI on Thursday for what they suspect is a torn rotator cuf, and i broke my ankle yesterday afternoon. we will still be there and the trailer will have every machine we can cram on it... not sure if either of us will be up for racing, but we should be good to go for trail riding, and BSing

That sucks. I wish the best for the both of you. You have got to stop riding so hard at CAW.

That's a bummer Brian! Did you break it at CAW?

Glad you're both still coming.

i knew that ride yesterday would raise the enthusiasm level a notch. Are you planning to race the new machine or the Attex this year? New machine looks great!

"Bigfoot" Note - Whipper talked to Bud this morning & for anyone that was wondering, KIDS 10 & UNDER are FREE, again.

10 and under are free!!!

Looking forward to meeting you Jeff. What are you riding?

[Mike]

Hi Jeff, it's good to see another attendee! You and your family will have a blast. You do not need any registration for your six wheeler. I'm not sure on kids whether or not they are free this year. Worst case would be $35 for the whole weekend for your son as a spectator. I would plan to pay that and then if he gets in free then that's even better.

Hi all. This is our first trip to the races and need to know a little more information......If we are camping all weekend do we have to pay for my 10 year old son? He is not going to race just come watch.....
If we are coming from PA do we need to have Ohio registration forte 6 weeler?

There is no registration required for any AATV.

It's Sunday, June 6th. We are leaving North Carolina in 11 days heading to Ashtabula! After the fun of riding yesterday, the excitement level in our house just jumped up! My new toy ran great and I can't wait to get to Ohio and ride some more with ya'll!
See you in 11 days (and counting)!

Well, I got 12 more pounds off the Spider today. I got my new battery. It weighs 8 ounces & has 325 cranking amps. Bridget & I are calling it , the Pocket Battery. I don't even have to mount it, it's so light. It can just hang from the cables.

Whipper

OK, this battery is bigger than your little one,.....but smaller than your big one! I think i said that right.. No side mounted bracket...saving weight. Got to keep up with you rocket sleders.

It was only in the 80s on the Island today but a bit humid. Not a bad day for the Fifth Grade Field Day. :-)

I planned on wearing a Nomex jumpsuit in the races and I bought one for George too but now I'm worried it'll hot enough to cook us on the inside.

[Model Citizen]

Hey East Coast. Been watching the weather reports, but it's hard to get a feel for what the weather has been like in your neck of the woods. (Dry, rainy, humid beyond belief bad hair day?) We'll be loading the trailer this weekend & we're looking at 110+ degrees. I know, I know, it's a dry heat.

While most of the hardware is as ready as it's going to be for race day, I decided to try to clean the machines up at least a little bit before they get run into, smashed, rolled and/or set ablaze at some point over the weekend. The acetone rub down on the ABS bodies works well, and a little rubbing compound and wax on the old girls really goes a long way.
So much so, that a purdy li'l bug stopped by to give me a pat on the back. No, it wasn't JP....





Thought it looked quite a bit like the sticker on Bridget's skid plate. Sorry little dude; no nectar in there. Just 91 octane and synthetic oil....

My guess is that it was probably looking at it's reflection in the shinny yellow ABS plastic.
