Rock Shox Golden State Downhill #2 @ Woodward West

DenMo...I do know of some of my S.D. homies that will be there as well......I guess they just don't post here?

 

Who might they be????

 

Krispy, Gare, K-Dog (I think), my buddy Mike D. from Murrietta (he was my "bike runner" a few times at Fontucky), maybe a few others like Took and maybe B-Hawk......

 

you can put me down as a probably. I won't be sure until I actually have an arrangement for somewhere to stay though

 

I was going to do just that before we got the room together, I was going to bring a cot, lock the bike in teh bed of the truck, ans sleep next to the truck.

 

if you sleep in your car there with your bike being on the back, do you have to worry about your bike pedaling itself off in the middle of the night? im thinking of removing all my seats in my car and roughin it. anyone else plan on sleeping outside the place?

 

If you have never been there it is kind of in the middle of no where. You have a way better chance of loosing you bike spending the night at fontana.

 

Kind of in the middle of no where its in the middle of no where. Thats why there is a State Prison out there.:lol::lol:

Seriously I would be more worried about deer's and elk. Last year at Sept race we say quite a few deer and one BIG Elk.

 

so am i able to literally park out side of the park or the parking lot (assuming there is one) and just chill?

 

Here was the set up at the last 3 races. Im guessing it will be this way this time also.

EDIT:Good timing mfogo

 

Last year you could only park up top at the starting area if you were staying at the hotel. You could camp in the dirt area by the finish/shuttle pickup.

 

That looks like a short track, how many minutes is the run ?

 

The actual track curves more then the picture. But it is a very short course. At the last race the wining pro was 3:04 and sport was around 3:16 to 3:50. And those might be the combines times.
I didnt race so i wasnt concerned about times. Didnt pay much attention, other than Garrick Anderson beat EC and Garrick hasnt races in years. It was great. GO G-UNIT

With the new track (4x??) at the bottom there is less room to camp.

 

So do we bring out plates from the Winter series, or will we get those paper plates?

 

Bring your SRC membership plate. The SRC membership is for the whole year, its not a winter series thing.

 

I have my room at the lodge up if anyone wants it. its for friday and saturday night. Ill be staying somewhere else, I'll be up there midday friday, it's great having all next week off.

 

Woodward questions:

Are there any Restaurants in the area ?

What are the dirt conditions, hard pack, loose, rocky ----> recommended tire ?

 

the dirt will be hardpack striaght aways and blown out soft turns.... don't worry about rocks... i"ll be rolling 2.5 big earls......

as far as restaurants..... i know there is one steak house down the road but I dont know about anything else.......

 

Maxxis Minion front and High Roller rear, both 2.5!

There are plenty of restaurants in town! We usually go to this great Mexican place on Saturday night.
