  1. So this one time a Private Jet was flying from Texas to Carlsbad for a Christmas party. 36hr turnaround. I asked my buddy if he had an extra seat on the plane. Luckily for me he did. Notified Samplr, pick me up with quads loaded. I think I was riding my 350x at the time. We shot to Mother G....rode all day and night. Jumped back in the truck drove to the Carlsbad Airport. Slept like a baby all the way home. What a great day. Peace

    Seeing as moto racing is nowhere near as popular as it was 10-15 years ago, I'm guessing the prize money / sponsor dollars are way lower than they once were.   I'm curious if anyone can chime in on what the payouts are.  I did a quick check and couldn't find anything  . . .

     

    Supercross is where the money's at. They say Outdoors doesn't pay near the money Indoors does. That's why we've seen in these past few years people taking Supercross deals only. Reed / Stewart just to name a few. Majority of the racers would prefer to race SX only but the Factory Deal along with Sponsor deals makes them run the Outdoors too. And for some of us......Outdoors is so much more exhilarating. You get to open up your bike and feel the power! Peace 

  3. It's hard to realize a pro racer just riding around accepting whatever happens. If you've ever been on the gate, it's very difficult following anyone. For some reason we want to pass the guy in front of us. Similar to being on Interstate 5. Peace

    One thing I did when my kids were Very Young and I would take them riding is I would lead them out on a ride and then we would get to a point to stop and I would telll them You Lead us back to camp. I would say I am right behind you but lead us back to camp.In my opinion it taught them to look around and see other campers and landmarks etc. I always said if something happened on our ride they would know how too get back to camp. Just a few Years back some friends were camping with us and they just let their daughter ride in a circle around camp.I jumped on the moms dirt bike and said lets go for a ride. we were at JV and only rode to the lakebed no big deal but I stopped told her lead us back. she said I can't. I said yes you can I am right here. we got back she was so excited told her parents were she rode too and led back. They came up and questioned me for doing this I said they got to learn.The rest of the weekend she would ask me if we could go on rides and then lead back. No more circles around camp.

    Also yes I have done the same thing as LORD and bought race radio's for people and stuff to get people set up and sometimes Crap still happens that we don't Plan for.I am NOT gonna Judge the parents here as its not my job to do so and Hopefully they learned a lesson. I think emotions are High in this case because all of us know this could easily of gone very Bad and that would Hurt us all.Thank God the Boy was found and returned to His parents. Thank God a GOOD man is who found him. Thank God that all of US as an Off road community came together for even a short time to try to find this little boy.

     

    Great way to train the kids Trap. Peace

    Just an FYI....Don't wait until you're framed up to order windows and doors. Most manufacturers are 2 months out minimum. 

     

    We went to BMC Design Center in Fort Worth Wednesday. Picked out a couple different types of windows to get quoted. PELLA Windows and Doors just sent their quote over today. Yes, we're staying way ahead of the curve. Plumbing Fixtures have already been chosen. So have all the appliances. Garage Doors have to get ordered today because the Industry is going crazy with  "PRICE INCREASES" 

    The plumber brought out his Excavator yesterday to the site. Bringing his pipe today. Supposed to rain this weekend so he'll start trenching and laying the pipe Monday. Pretty Cool how that works. They set all the pipes, fill with water. City comes by for an inspection / pressure test etc..... Builder will leave water in pipes for the entire pour of the foundation and Frame of the house. Definitely want to catch any leaks before the concrete dry's.

    The attached photo is our Trash Pump. This dude pumps 330 gals a minute . It ROCKS. The creek rises all the way to our back property line when it Rains like crazy. Lake level rises. Guess how the pond got filled? Peace

  6. AC has the speed to dominate this year. I remember when Carmichael went to the Big Boy Class. He learned quickly.....I'll win if I stay off the ground. He only went fast enough to finish first. When Stewart arrived, he said, I ain't chasing this guy the rest of my life and did the smart thing, RETIRED! Peace
