thanks to mountain trail riders association

would like to thank every one that help put on the race sunday! all went pretty good for your first race .i rode atv, a class, the atv turn out was small, but looked like a good turn out for the bikes. i know it must be a big undertaking to put some thing like this on. us qaud guys had to wait a little bit longer to race but that was no big deal. dust was bad ! but thats part of it. coures was rough and rocky. i broke a front left spindle about a mile in . had to get towed out after race. i know you expect us to finsh under our own power , but things happen out there. with that said , you realy need to make a good tow rig out of one of your 4x4s.some way of liftin the front of a qaud off the ground. also saw you where havin problems making sure every one singed in at the gate, my suggestion is to move gate sign in to top of the hill, and give arm bands to every one in attendance. and would be nice to race hour and a half , as you saw jordan philips went another lap . tryin to get as much time out there as we can. but other than that me and all my friends had a great time ! please dont let the small atv turn out detur you guys from leting us race again. when will the next races be ? i can start puting the word out. thanks again to every one ! give a shout out to all my buddies that came to race, chris bailey, atthony bailey, trebor smoke, chris roberts , travis thronburg, we always have fun as long as we on qauds! thanx!

thanks again to everyone that helped out. there was alot more work that went on behind the scene than anyone can imagine. it took a lot of time to lay the track out, set up starting/ scoring lines, running all over the place to get all the supplies then going back again to get last minute items we forgot. I should mention that all of the help/labor was done completely by club members volunteer effort. Other than all of our help almost getting over heated everything went pretty good. also thanks for the compliments.

Thanks for putting on a good race guys. I know it must have been hard to get everything together for the first but you all done good. I would however like to make a couple of suggestions. The main thing is to write riders numbers down instead of the hole punch method. Writing down is much quicker as a rider than waiting to get a hole punched. Second schedule the races around Gncc and Mid-east races because more people will come if its not on those race dates. Also run an hour and a half. I accidently done a 3rd lap but thats ok.

The track was well marked, probably the best of any track i have ever ran. Overall is was fun and you guys done well for the first race out!
