Mike, just watch Pats latest video "how to crash" and you'll be fine

I think its a good idea to add, not much else happening yet that time of yr.

I'll be up Friday 9:00 ish

I'll be up Friday the 28th with my grandson, coming up even if I don't get my GG brakes sorted out so he can see an event, I'll bring brush clearing tools.

We will be meeting Friday at noon to arrow section, will probably stick around to 7 or 8. If anyone would like to come out and camp out, Chris will have room at his place to camp.

Pit area will be next to Burger King.

After walking the area last week I think this should be a really fun event with good sections for all classes included some sections to "show off" the champ class riders abilities.

Chris and I are meeting Thursday (tomorrow) to walk and get a preliminary plan for sections and go over some other details is any "Iowans" are available, stop by.

From my conversations with Chris, looks like all section marking will happen Friday evening with some touch up Saturday am. With it being a public area we can't set up too early.

Sounds like he has a good group of bodies to help out sat. too.

Welcome!

I'm sure Mr. Huber will chime in with the correct membership info for you....after that first step:

#2-Make sure you are riding a GasGas 

#3-Ask a lot of questions....there are no dumb questions

#4-Have fun!

The  KX500 on pgs 36-37 is cool to see.
Dave Pyle who did the bike build, developed the head light system (that was a $4000 set up) also developed a quick change rear wheel set up, for under 20 second rear wheel changes. Dave is my brothers, brother in law. Dave is a former trials rider, top rider from the early 80's, my brother marred his sister.....they meet when she was a checker at a national

In the early 90's there was an arrive and race program that brought over riders fro Japan to race the Baja 500 and 1000. The problem it created is they raced in the open class, and with starting positions determined by drawing and riders off at one minute intervals. the top riders didn't want to start behind these other riders and deal with the excess dust, they wanted to get out in clean air and stay there. So Team Green would enter the entire team that would be at the event into the drawing for start positions. It was $100 to get into the drawing(all paid by Kawi), then whichever name had the best starting position they would use as the rider of record. The rider of record had to either start the race or cross the finish line.
At the 92 Baja 1000 my brothers name was drawn as first bike off......so he started the 1000 that yr on Team Green's lead bike, ridding all of 100 yards before handing the bike off to Larry Roeseler.

When Dave was promoted into a management position, Roeselers contract stipulated that Dave was responsible for his race bike's prep work, so it became a "side job" for Dave.

After Danny Hamel's death in 95, Dave and several other left Kawi and went to work at TRD where he  is at today in the NASCAR engine program

Somewhere in my boxes of cool stuff I have one of Team Greens pit books with all there planning and logistics for the 1000 in 92. I will try to find it and bring it to Noels place in Sept for anyone who would like to check it out.

Noel, I might be up for a day of riding in August, 6th and 13th are best for me....I've been off the bike since Jeff's with sprained wrist and ankle. I will try to ride some the weekend before Baraboo and see how things feel. If I am okay to ride a day of practice in August would be helpful.

Paul usually rode first...while I was still walking the section, so I didn't get many of him. I have some clips of part of a section and I was trying to show as many full rides as I could, didn't really think about trying to show everyone, but I am a novice at this part, Johnson's are in the video Champ class.

I read Noels comment that we rode  sections 6, 7 and 8 better than he thought we would...and I interpret that as the sections will be tougher next time!

I already look forward to our fall return to Noels Vertical Challenge.

Expert class. I don't do as much editing as Johnson's and no background music. I will talk less next time, won't drool on the lens and I'll get some new gloves

Thanks again Mike! I had a great time, its good to get back on the bike again this yr.

I still can't believe how much you have there to ride, never boring. And yes conditions couldn't of been better.

I will be there Sunday, still thinking around 11:00?

68 days until I need to prep my bike
