USA Trials Reviews & Previews

There was an interesting article on RoadRacing Worlds web site yesterday afternoon regarding Alice Sexton, AHRMA's Communications Director

A new video from a trial last week in AZ. We actually had some mud and water.

Group, Started a new thread as things get lost/or change the meaning of old threads. Specific to Tony's latest Blog comments: Good comments all from someone who has "walked the walk". On the difficulty of Loops. We have commented on making them more rider friendly... Something we haven't mentioned is making them more spectator friendly. Wouldn't we all be happier if family/friends on some little pit bike could ride out and watch us "clear" a section. It was mentioned that this (the AHRMA Trials Series) was a national championship. Well maybe, but with the distance between events you are going to have to be self employed, retired, unemployed or have a very understa…

A video from this weekends trial in AZ.

As I understand it we are getting to ride on the other side of the property for this one! Who will be the last place expert????? Will Mike come out of hunting season to beat me???? Will Biff come in costume??? (you bet your a$$) Will it snow? Can Brockaway figure out a way to not use those roley poley rocks??? Can zippy go a whole loop with out texting his wife? Can we get Cap and Keener to move up? Will I break another shift lever? Will Mitchell bend his knees? Will my exhaust catch on fire? (probably) So many questions. Only time will tell... Come on out to Vermontville and check out all of the suspense and action!!!!! Season closer!!!! Very easy loop for those who …

Day 3 of the AHRMA Casper Spectacular is now up on my "blog" for those following this rivetting sequel of "Old men in a parade on old machines"...... well we did have some youngsters too! Tony

The Central regionals starts this weekend with the 35th annual Quarry Cup at Trenton Mo. I have heard that it is the longest existing 2 day in the U.S. 35 yrs straight without a miss Does anyone know any different? Ive attended in 1978 2005 2006 2007 and now 2008. A real good event and in what i think is a very nice a nice gesture they are giving a $25 per vehicle rebate to all out of towners. It doesnt cover all the extra gas cost but it helps, thanks MATT guys. This event in recent years has aways recieved rain but this year forecast is sunny and 20 percent.
