Ahh, sorry it took so long. I don't always check the Cannondale forum. I forgot my best camera, so I had to use the one from the store. It only holds 18 good pics. I e-mailed 2 home, which are on the page below. The rest are at the shop, I'll try to get them up tomarrow night.
I took about a million pics trying to getsomeone in the air, and only got one good one. It was of the guy who finished second, not sure about his name. Also posted is a picture of the track, It's combined from 2 shots.

Sorry guys, I garantee I'll have good photos of the February race, my dad will be there and he's the real photographer. I know quite a few of us can't wait for that race, for various reasons... I also plan to hit Monroe, LA on January 18, anyone else think they might go?

Sorry, http://www.geocities.com/trxr53/ax2.htm
The rest of the pics are not here yet, AOL must have ate them or something.
On a side note, some of the guys from the Arenacross are having a sort of grudge match tomarrow at Motocross 886 in Pontotoc. I plan to get a couple of shots from that.

I can't say I'm too sorry that the "big race" got postponed. One more weekend of rain and I might have a shot at winning the cash...
Where are the pics? I've e-mailed them 3 times, I don't know. I got a floppy disk, so I'll try to transfer them that way tomarrow. I'll get them up one of these days.

LOL, 2 stroke and 4 stroke. Considering we have no other 2 strokes, it seems a bit unfair. Maybe I can get liftkit to race the Blaster...
Seriously though, I won't be 100% on the 17th, so you have nothing to worry about. I also got a couple pics of Michael's race up, http://www.geocities.com/trxr53/ax2.htm

Airtime: I went from a 165 to a 175 to get it running just right. Also went from a 48 to a 55 pilot. I made some changes to the airbox at the same time, but the pipe is resonsibe for most of it. Once I get this thing dialed in we may have to do another drag race session...
I'm not going to be riding hard or jumping for a while yet. I've got a doctors appointment on Monday, so we'll see how that goes. Hopefully I can make it to Gordo with you guys next week, just to play around, see how I'm feeling and hopefully do some testing on the new ride if it gets here...
BTW, anyone know any codes for ATV Off-Road Fury 2? I send the last 3 hours playing it, it's tougher than the first one.
Patrick: We wish you the best, I'm sure you'll find out it's just something minor.

chris just anwsered me on the mini quad class. i think he is gonna do it. the 10th we will be at monster mountain again. besides i have bubbas quad tore down for a top end. gonna put a trinity big bore kit, pipe, different clutch springs and rollers and wheel spacers on it. that ought to perk it up. taking this weekend off to heal amd pm the moto. got some honey dos this weekend too. later
Posted by: markvette
the trinity big bore comes with a whole new cylinder so i wont need to bore. the place i'm getting all the parts from sells nothing but mini quad parts. the big bore kit from trinity is $ 199 but i have this guy talked down to $ 151. the pipe is the expensive part at $ 270. now that the minis have another track to race at ( flying colors ) i am excited about getting it back together. let me know what you think of the track. i told chris we would make it to the next one, he said that would give him time to advertise a mini quad class. talk to you later.

give them hell, remember you are representing all the dale riders.LOL w are looking forward to the next AX in starkville, kip and i talked about changing the gearing for the next one. this thing really shines on these long mx track so we probably need to gear it down for the small AX tracks. josh may be on the 03 by then, i have a couple good bites on the moto so it mat be sold by then later

aye all. At www.digitalproofs.com.......... this guy took pictures of the Gonzales AX, not sure if he did Starkville or not. Just click on photographs at the left and you'll find it. Try not to make to big of a deal of the handsome devil in the forth picture. Good looks has plagued me all my life, lol
No realy I think it's up to 500+ pictures now, possibly Starksville in there.
The 10th we'll be at flying colors for the kids mark. See if chris has the kids quad added on yet, be a goody for bubba. I won't be there but my wife is bringing the son down.

Yes how I do know about those honey doos, lol.
We will be at Flying colors tomorrow and Avondale sunday, just practicing. Need to get the rust broke off the boy some. Some of his mid-air acrobatics last week put fear in my wifes hart. Figured I would get him some practice sessions in to get him back in shape. Not to mention I have been dieing to ride the Avondale track again.
I've done plenty of bore kits to the XR-80 and 100, pretty much the same motor as the TRX-90. They work out real well. Only problem I have run into with the mini motor jobs is getting jets for the carb to re-jet. The feller at sudco.com (for all carb needs if ya didn't know) Told me that the mini carbs on honda's were just made for honda for those machines, no jets are offered. If you run into this problem I have real nice jet drill sets I'll loan ya to tune it if you need. Although harry is usually very good to send jets with his kits. How ever just let me know if ya need them.
Another problem with the mini's is finding a machine shop that can machine bores under 2". wesleeve.com does all mine. I believe it's $42, wich includes return shipping. He's real good and garrantees the work done and back in the mail same day recieved. Not a bad feller at all.

I want to see some pictures also. I wonder where Ed has been hiding out.

Oh yeah. The big grudge matchup. It was rained out Sunday. Rescheduled for Sunday November 17
What started this grudge??
"Michael didn't qualify?.......I didn't figure he would."
"Some were saying that Patrick didn't run the Main in fear of being put to shame by the large amount of 400EXs that were there."
It's on at MX886!!!.....LMAO!!

Eddie,
I was afraid you would say that.
Hmmmmmmmmmm......Maybe I will divide it into two classes....two stroke and four stroke??...LOL
So...Now we have....
Me
Michael
Eddie
reconbasher
liftkit
The Red 400EX that ran the Pro class
2 of the Z400s that ran the Am class
2 400EXs that ran the Am class
That's 10 riders.......a full gate......A prequel to February's AX for sure.

airtime,
I'm afraid I wont be making any Gordo trips anytime soon..........or any other riding trip for that matter.
I have some health complications that have come about and my riding is done for awhile. I don't know know for how long, but at least until January. Depending on the outcome, I could be done for good as far as racing goes, but will remain a mainstay at the track regardless.
The Pontotoc AX Grudge race has been cancelled. I hope to take it up at the next AX in Starkville in February, but only if I'm able to.
Patrick

mark, my R motor should be in this week, if so, me and poolguy will be at monster mountain sat. for practice and hopefully race sunday. i'll be in the gutter for missing the old timers football game, but i've been wanting to ride onster mountain for awhile anyway. i guess i'll have to race in the international pro 2 stroke class since my amateur cannondale bike still has no shocks. maybe i can hook up with the captain!! you going to monster mrp?
Posted by: airtimehocutt
go gettem patrick, gotta stand by my fellow dale ride. i would love to go, but i gotta work this weekend called pep yesterday, my shocks should ship next monday (which means i will call monday and tell them my shocks were supposed to ship today and maybe they'll ship tuesday). anyway, ed be carefull at the track, make sure your healed up, i would hate to injure my self and be out for another 6 weeks because i did not wait an extra week before riding. all that jumping will put a lot of stress on your leg. by the way, have you tried the pipe out yet, i bet your gonna love it. remember you will have to rejet. also, poolguys motor blew last week at gordo, al. the rod wrist pin bearing broke and ruined the whole top end (cylinder/head,ect.....). i think he is going to send it to eddie sanders racing. gotta have a new sleeve, plus he's going to have the whole motor tore down and gone thruogh. anyone heard anything about eddie sanders racing? one more thing, i got my R motor in last thursday. got it back in but have not finished it up yet. not looking forward to the break in proceedure. maybe next weekend i will have the black bull ready and my R too! cain't wait. maybe yaw can come to gordo with us.

I just checked it out gaff and sad to say it out of 532 pictures on the there isnt one picture in it of starkville. I guess we will all have to wait on eddie to post the ones he has.
Posted by: reconbasher
ed........me and liftkit(Trent) are going to be at the monroe,LA track on the 18th of january. Oh yeah the address you gave doont work for some reason.

Hey Mark, any word on when our next Fernwood race will be?
Posted by: MOTOWN
I know everwhere I've called said that they might race jet skies this weekend. The only place that I know of that is racing is Hammond and I don't trust Ricky to let quads ride yet. So I guess I'm gonna lay low this weekend too. But for Rockhill on the 23 I'll be there, I kinnda in better shape now just hope I can get somewhere to pratice next week.

Airtime, ESR is a great company and they know their chit! Eddie Sanders specializes in R motors only. There a lil pricey, but good.
