Just a side note, I spoke with Stu Thomsen and he won't be there, he doesn't know why they still listed his name in the press release, as he had told "one of the promoters" (his statement) that he couldn't make it, but he confirmed that he WON'T be able to make it that weekend.

Just in case anybody was hoping to see or meet him there, I just thought I'd pass it along

Thanks for the schedule, that answered the question for me. Im out.

3 hours of practice on Thur, nothing all day Friday and the 2.5 hours on Sat not really worth the drive and $ to stay in Mammoth for Wed-Sun.

 

I'm pretty sure there is Friday practice for Sport/Beginners too, TYPO?? Maybe not???Who knows??? - I'll be there for sure! I did not just go and roll down the hill in Fontana with 110+ temps not to race the finals in Mammoth :lol:

 

Has anyone emailed Donny and/or Mammoth to find out?????:?:

 

What!?!?

What is up with the racing on Sunday? Start it Thursday and get the racing done on Sat!

 

No can do bubba, we are racing Kamikazee and Mtn-x on Saturday!!!!!

 

According to Donny, it's a typo, there will be Sport/Beg practice on Friday from 11:30 - 2:30!:clap:

 

Thank you Denmo for contacting Donny and ALWAYS looking out for us :bang:

 

Cant make this. Its the time my mom always comes to visit from Seattle and Davens birthday day party is scheduled for the time shes here. Oh well.

 

I guess that trip healed you up. I guess I can try the Kamikazee without the snow drifts we delt with last time. going up in August to check it out!:beer:

 

^^^^^^^^^^ ----> You need to get a Road Bike !!!!!

 

Has nothing to do with it. I still Have my SS and thats what I planed to race there anyways.
