Vail Lake DH Race, November 8th

'08 DHRs are on sale right now. I believe you can get them for $1800 + tax.

 

Yes I will be out there very weekend until the race working on the course. Just picked up a bunch of blocks to make sure the berms are solid and fast so you can rail them. Call me and we can hookup thanks for helping!

 

yeah, but the cost of upgrading from my reign is the problem. I'd need a new fork, rear wheel, cranks, and the frame.

I could probably get away with a pre-06 DHR though. those have a 135mm rear end (and a 73mm BB I think)

Plus, I just paid 1800 for my complete reign, so it seems frivolous (especially when I can beat quite a few people with DHRs on ym reign )

 

I'm probably the last person that should be saying this, but please cease and desist from derailing the race thread boys...

 

You go Mr. IwannabeamodDownHillPhil! Just kidding of course, are you going to go out with Framekiller and I on Sunday, DHP?

 

Yes sir. Sunday I will be there. Working OT on saturday.

 

haha sorry about that. 8-[

so back on topic, what class are you guys going to race?

 

Myself and 2 friends are going to be racing and camping. Looks like it will be a fun event. I am going to do both the Super D and DH, unsure if my buddies will be doing both.

 

So we put in a long day today and made a lot pf progress on the DH course looking really sweet by go time it will be real fun. I want to thank Gary(Mudman), John, Bruce & Brian who came out and helped today breaking the backs on their days off! Thanks again.

 

good times! I can't wait for everything to be done, that place is going to be sweet!

 

Yea, FreerideCo, DownHillPhil and I went out there today and did a little work with Division 26 (Dale)... that place is going to be really, really fun when it's done. I'm am anxious to ride there for sure!

 

Thanks again for your help you guys can tumble & lay rocks with the best of them!

 

hey Dale what part of the track did you guys work on yesterday?

 

I talked to you already Gary, you haven't seen the part we worked on #-o

:wave: it's farther up in the run than you went.

We shored up the line on a 30' sloping turn that probably woulda gotten wrecked on race weekend otherwise.

 

ahh

I can't wait to seethe whole track! Too bad I can't race. #-o

 

I can't wait to rip down that course!

 

So, what's the word on the course? any notable obstacles? turns? rediculous 18 ft drops?

Also, more rocky chunk or single track? or a mix?

trying to decide whether to throw on my rock-proof tires for this, or stick with the blue groove/nevegal combo :-k (the rock proof route is about 4 lbs heavier though )

 

I will leave the Q&A to Dale, as I'm not sure what they want leaked.

I would imagine though that a Nevegal/BlueGroove would be fine.

 

you'll be fine with your current setup.

Just watch out for kids running wild on lifted Rhinos and golf carts with rims blasting Vanilla ice.

 

Dude...I saw a 16-ish year old white kid on a lifted blinged out golf kart blasting either KMK or some other crappy white rapper and he was wearing a total wigger outfit. :-k

I was torn between crying and laughing #-o
