Is this going to happen again?  When?

I spoke with Noel at Baraboo and he said yes, but no date set yet.
We need to have a WOTA meeting prior th the Sanction Meeting Nov 8th to set 2009 Schedules.
Is Jim Altemus going to represent WOTA at the meeting?
Dave Schigoda has agreed to replace me as the D 16 Trials Referee for 2009.  :'(
If there is a problem with that, let me know ASAP.

Yes we need to get on this to set a date   ,Jorge remind me which  date is the least good.  this year our harvest will be  a bit delayed but we need to keep it in Oct. for a slightly better shot at decent weather.   Lets  get some feed back  about potentially Oct 25th???????????

There's a NITRO event at Wapello, IA, on the 26th.  Might that affect attendance if you go with the 25th?  Maybe the weekend before, Oct 18, would be better?  No NITRO event that weekend. 

I'm out of town the weekend of the 18th.
The 25th works for me.

25th is good for me. Gives me more practice time!
I probably can make the sanction meeting too.

So is the 25th a solid date?  Can I post it on the home page? 

I  talked with Mark Doll  and we  talked about the 26th  because my wife is in Devils Lake Saturdy  and Phil  is planning on a Green Bay Pitbike race Saturday so we were hoping Sunday would be ok with most riders , doubting  too many will travel to Iowa,  N*-oel

The 26th is good for me. Give me even more practice time! Is Wild bills mystery chile surprise on the menu?

D*-an  post it for the 26 th   we will try the Sunday date.   also mention we may run a 6 lap endurocross race  after the trials. 

Jim,Jim   you dont need an extra day to practice you need and extra day to secure  a decent motorbike.  I have  several good choices =if you want to stay with a low output horsepower bike  that you seem to relish, I have a 2001, 290 that is sort of soft ,or go with an 09 125 and put a 200 kit on for  about $7000   if you are ready for a bike that can spin the rear wheel and have some fun on the loop. Philbrick has an 05 ,290  or Craigs 07 ,290 for $4700 or Pats comp only 08 for $5200  probably( need to ask Ryan)  /    The EX  could cosist of a trials bike only class and then a MX/EX only class  maybe a prize or maybe pool cash or maybe give a lousy bottle of beer like the bozos in Minnesota .But since we arent charging $150 for rider/minder maybe 1/2  a can of beer is more appropriate.

Is the endurocross open for people who aren't riding the trial?  I know someone who maybe interested.

Yes  ,but there wont be  a lot of free riding space available while the trials is going on( I dont like the noise  and risk) so as long as they understand it is not  a fre for all funpark bring them out.  It is not an AMA  event or even  a WOTA sanctioned ride  so we will have releases to sign and go at it.  Gate trial from 12 to 3  then EX at 3;30     Pizza by 4;30

   Also  of some interest ++=++there is  a fair chance I will have a 2009 3.2 4t  Sherco here for  short demo rides!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oooo!

Sounds like a busy afternoon. Why don't we have the WOTA meeting at 10:00 am and then spend the rest of the day having fun?
I know that the meeting is not on anyone's fun to do list, but we need to get thigs going for 2009.
We need dates for the events because the sanction meeting is the 8th of November.
What does the endurocross course consist of?
I'm thinking I might bring my 83 Husky Enduro to race.

 The meeting first is  actually a good idea  as long as people agree. It is a bit far for Dolls to get here so that could be a problem.I know they have gotten here on the late side before ,could  have something to do with milking cows.  Our EX  has rocks logs dirt and tires  like the real ones  one problem is the course  was made  for practice so it has a  fair amount of single line stuff  ,not many places to pass ,aand  it might be  too much to tape off whole course to keep schlubs from cutting the course  .  Anyway its  just for kicks or sh!ts and giggles (if your Kirschner)   he likes to  say that a lot.   RYP did come through with some free swag  like hats ,socks, and such.   

I was with the Mark Doll yesterday and he is planning to be at Elkhorn by 10:30 or a little later.
We should plan to have the meeting as soon as he get's there.

Noel, confirm that this will fit your schedule for the day and I'll update the home page. 

Do these times work?

10:30 : WOTA Annual Meeting (in the garage?)
11:45 : Gate Trials riders meeting
12:00 - 3:30 : Gate Trials
  4:00 - 5:00  : EnduroCross
  5:00 - 6:00  : Food at the farm in the garage

Looks  OK  to Me  Hare  go 4 it    If  weather is good we may hust convene out in woods I plan to park the Hobbi there again to have a toilet available.  We can decide where to meet once  our group has assembled.

Was curious, how did Pat do @ Octobertest?

He had 1 point each day .   The only other entries in EX hibition were 2 Mizell  s   Pat rode  the 4 stroke on Sunday and was giving a thumbs up  . I did  get mine so rides may be had for 5 $ s for 5 minutes unless you bought a Sherco from me.   Hopefully the snow comes late or light  ,Sundays forecast is far less nice than we enjoyed last weekend for the Lois Bean field races.   Oh well  we will have the Hobbi out ther with the heater on and maybe an all dAY fire to huddle around if it is nasty .  i am not going overboard with the layout knowing the traction will likely be nil  ,.

Noel where im @ theres already snow just gettin in a little session @ loveland and the basin, broke my collarbone 3 weeks ago will start ridn soon hope to c ya Rick

Noel, $5 for 5 min?  Are you kidding?  That's a four stroke Sherco not a Montesa. LOL  :D
Hey, I bought a Sherco from a guy that picked it up from you.  Does that count?  ;)
See ya Sunday.

Yes probably   on both accounts

  I set  THE course last night and I felt good about it until we got another shot of rain last night ,I will probably get some pine shavings for the uphills .Also with only 4 sections and most likely less than 20 riders I think we can be done in just a couple of hours, it is supposed to be sunny and very windy so maybe running the EX 1 st would also dry things a bit  but with all the leaves on the ground it will maybe not dry much.  I also might consider a modified gate rule where for maybe 2 of the 4 attempts we could allow a single dab???  or?   

Thanks to those who came out  the riding was actually very good.  we canned the EX partly because Phil was still missing a usable clutch finger and Pats 200 has no spark.   We are still up for people coming out and riding as long as the snow stays away give a call 2627234773  also  have some nice 290  s 4 sale/
