I will be there. Not sure what row, but I see that they cashed my check a few weeks ago so I guess I am in.... Do you have a rider list?
Nobody else attending the Tenn. Nat'l Enduro ? Looks like perfect riding conditions. 80% of rain Monday, 60% chance Friday. Little to no chance over the weekend. High of 61 degrees Saturday and 67 Sunday ! Perfect riding !!!
Finished Packing.... Leaving out about 3am. Westpoint, Tn got 2.75" of rain today ! Windy ( good drying conditions) tomorrow. 15-25mph. Still, I am glad I am on an early row. The Lil Husky is ready to go !
LOL, I have an original photo of Charles' Nieuport 17 on the wall of my house. It was given to me by his cousin.
OK here goes the Husky results. Morgan Moss 10th OA, 1st 250A Mandy Mastin 1st Womens JD Friebul 26th OA , 7th 250A Ben Smith 43th OA, 11th 250A Phil Whisenant 10th 45A Dwight Rudder 5th 50A Jay Hall 14th 50A Terry Cunningham 30th 50A (flat tire) Michel Jolley DNF Technical event. Wet and Slippery also. Bobbit 1st OA Mullins 2nd OA Buttrick 3rd OA
Was wondering what happened to TC. Saw he was running just up ahead of you in 1st section then dropped back like 10 spots in 2nd section and then done.
First section is usually my worse as I need a bit to loosen up. Section 4 I pulled over for Mullens an hit a small hidden log that defected me into a sapling, knocking my headlight off but not breaking it. It was still bolted but loose at bottom. I spent about a minute and a half putting it back on before continuing. It cost me a couple positions. Being on row 19 sucked as I had to pull over for at least 10 riders in most sections. I know it cost me time. I am glad I am on row 15 for the Arkansas Nat'l Enduro. I have former Husky Factory Rider Greg Davis on my row in Ark. He and I used to bang bars in the ISDT Qualilfiers on 125s. As for TC he had a flat tire. He came to me at the gas to borrow a 12mm allen so he could remove the front wheel. That has to be the crappest thing on the Husky. Having to use such a large allen wrench to remove the axle nut. They should have used a normal nut or at least supplied a special wrench to remove the allen nut. TC wanted to ride the last of the enduro for fun . I believe he did. TC is riding a TXC250 .
Dwight check the aftermarket suppliers for a hex head(male) "screw" replacement for the "allen" head (female). Some of the sponsors here have them, I have a red anodized Motosportz on on mine, also ZipTy has one with a magnet press fitted in so you can "stick it" onto your frame while doing work and not drop the thing on the ground, but its a 3/8 square wratchet fitting(not trail practical). http://www.ziptyracing.com/products/product_detail.aspx?id=MTc5NQ== My choice is this one, been on for a couple of years and although hammered its still hanging in there, http://www.motosportz.com/HVA-SS/axlenut_details.htm
Great to see Greg back and running strong. Last I saw him he did not look too good. He was on a YZ 125 at the Maine National enduro and he whailed his foot and toes real bad....darn near hacked them off through the boot. I was pitted right near him and helping the docs out when he was getting in the meat wagon and it did not look good. I helped pack his stuff up and load his truck and get keys to responsible party. Glad to see he is still cranikng and hopefully on a 125. He was the bomb back in the early 80's on Husky 125s and still likes 125's too (alas they are blue ones) Great to see one of my heroes (4X baby!) TC back on a Husky. So smooth and a pleasure to watch.
