The Slappy Racing Team, consisting of Rick Wade (epo member), Rob Hollinger (Epo member, board name: Chummin), Dan Berg (Fabricator for Sandcars Unlimited), Gene Foster (Just a guy who digs Slappy), and Dan Tron (GD.com member and brother of samplr), put on a show for everybody at Barona Oaks this past Sunday. Check out the pictures below, and check the stats on how the team did.

Dan Berg--Pro Class--Finished 1-1 for first overall
Rick Wade--48 and over Expert Class--Finished 2-1 for first overall.
Dan Tron--48 and over Novice Class--Finished 5-4 for fourth overall.
Gene Foster--48 and over Novice Class--Finished 4-5 for fifth overall.
Chummin--28 and over Beginner Class--Finished 11-10 for 10th overall.

These guys did great, and the racing was close, except for the Pro Class in which Dan Berg kicked the s*** out of everybody. The guy is one of the smoothest and stylish riders you could ever watch. And, to top it off, he's a big boy, exceeding the 230 lbs mark.

Check out the pics below.

This is the infamous "bump" where Dan Tron almost knocked his own team mate, Gene Foster, off the track. It was accidental. It got heated after this race, and words were exchanged. Level heads prevailed and things are ok. It was for the race lead too.Click to view attachment
Here's a shot of Chummin. He is wearing the red vest because he is still on probation. He can't score points untill he finishes 4 motos. He is now officially a member after this weekend.

Here's a couple shots of Dan Berg. The guy is so smooth, it almost looks like he's going slow; I can tell you he's not. He lapped the entire field. The guy is a former Honda Factory Rider from the good ol days. It's good to have him on the Slappy Racing Team.

Here's a picture of Dan Tron. He's looking real smooth, and getting faster every weekend, and will soon be winning the Novice Class. Click to view attachment
Here's a shot of Gene Foster, who swapped places with Dan Tron in both motos. These two bumped and Gene was heated after the race. But that's racing, and apologies were given.

And here is the toughest rider out of the bunch, Rick Wade. His first lap is just as fast as his last. He battled with the top four in both motos, and ended up winning the last moto to take the over all with a 2-1 score

This race was bitchen; battled to the end, and they swapped positions constantly.

It was a great day for the Slappy Racing Team. A good job well done.

We are soon going to be having our own race gear, and the colors of the logo, red, white, blue, and black with be the colors of our gear. Give these guys props everybody, they are out there doing it. (I will be soon once I'm healed.)

Xtion

Man Sorry I going to miss out of the race on the 5th I'll be there in spirit guys

First time I ever saw a flying fish, so that's what they look like...

That's some great air you're getting Chummly...

If you think that is Chummin, I have some land to sell you

Fish Fly???

You mean "Fish Fry"

Peace

Thats NOT ME... Uh.. I wish - but I cant fly.. I flap my arms real hard - but cant seem to get off the ground yet..

how did august 5th go?

Not sure. I wasnt able to get up to Comp Edge. I know Rick and possibly Dan went - but have yet to hear results.

Where is Barona Oaks located? I have never been to that track before & from the pics looks like a cool place to ride at.

It's by Ramona, CA. East of Poway and North east of San Diego.

Oh OK. I will have to try it out then. How many tracks do they have?

I was out there a couple of times before I got my bike, but I think they have one track for big bikes and one track for kids. Someone will chime in that knows more. The times I saw the track it looked good but I haven't been to any others to compare it to.

One main track and a mini track.
its a fun track - but small compaired to the other tracks up north.

The chEFF after his first moto in years. At the National in Milville, Minnee-Soda. Peace

someone ask dan if hes ever gonna give the 89 atk 250 back. or just say hi from a fellow scr guy.

Awesome results!!! Way to represent!!! My boys raced there in March or April in the NoFearMx Tour. My younger boy took 2nd overall in the 85 class, and my older boy had a heckuva weekend, getting knocked out Saturday in the first moto on the triple before the whoops section, and then trying to come back on Sunday, with lots of duct tape on the bike, but it just wouldn't hold together Barona is a great track, love the layout, and the vibe from all the people involved down there.

When are we going to rent the track and have a GD.COM Race day???????
Lets see how many people would be interested in something like this, what do ya say???
