alan_nc Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Group, Can we start talking about Mid-Ohio yet? I took a rock through a side case at Marion but have fixed that and am back riding. 95 degrees plus here in NC so I'm getting some heat conditioning while I'm at it. I came back from Marion and changed all the sections in the woods around my house. Made them tighter and put more challenges into each one. Sections there had 8 to 10 different things you had to do where Ocala and Devils Ridge had maybe 3 to 5. Marion had been laid out by Bob Ginder (I think) - anyone have any idea who is laying out Mid-Ohio. You might want to note that there is a discount for registering on-line prior to showing up (for the Mid-Ohio complex). I think you also have to pre-register with AHRMA for the Trials.

Alan When I rode Mid-Ohio, a couple of years back, Bob Ginder (and crew) laid it out as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 If Bob did lay out the sections ... he always makes them class apropiate and does a wonderfull job (imho)... Very rarely will anybody clean them all ! always out to make us better riders !!!! Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29r Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I plan on being there Thurs. to help clear the debris . Last year the back sections were blocked by fallen trees . It really is the best part and yes , Bob is a Master of Sectional Deviation ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_nc Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Group, Like you Scott, I plan on being at Mid-Ohio sometime before noon on Thursday. Plan to camp at the edge of the woods by the Trials area. Side note: I wasn't complaining about the sections at Marion. I was just noting that I needed to work harder and get some more practice in if I'm going to ride sections like that. Section One at Marion had stakes around two trees (one a left hander, one a right). I look at it, walked it, and said yea..... I can do that . Well I was wrong. 5'd it one time because I stalled, 3'd it the other times as I just couldn't make it through the tight turn. Several guys did clear it and I really think I could now that I have set up the same thing at home and practiced it 20 or 30 times. It really is surprising what you can do once you have tried it a couple of times. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29r Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Struggling to find time for the Cub , but will carry on .... I'll be sure to look ya' up Alan , I think we'll be Trackside ( by the showers ... ) Just a whisper...the Guru won't be in charge of set-up . Then who ?!!!!??

alan_nc Posted July 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Hummmmm...... Guess those of us that show up may have to do it ourselves - either that or 80 pre-registered folks are going to be pretty mad. I really do wish AHRMA would get it's act together. I have had a great time riding this year but it has been a bit dis-organized. Would be nice if we had just one person in charge of Trials. See everyone in about a week.

deano Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Scott: Just wanted to let you know that you did a great job as "unofficial trialsmaster" at Mid-Ohio this past weekend. It's too bad that AHRMA doesn't realize or recognize the work that went into putting this trials on in such a short amount of time and under adverse conditions. I personally enjoyed working with you and think we did a credible job considering the circumstances. Sorry I didn't get to see you after the trials were done. It was a long walk back from section 5. Just ask Randy. Cheers Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_nc Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Dean, Totally agree. The course was set up great. Weather made it a real challenge, but I think we all had a good time. If there was ever any doubt I proved once and for all that I'm not a mud rider. My next AHRMA outing will be Dickson. I sure wish we could get the ear of someone at AHRMA. We seem to be the red headed step children. We're still waiting on results to be posted from 2 months ago. I sent the Mid-Ohio results in on Sunday so I have no idea why they haven't been posted. If anyone sees a time/date/station when the film of the event will be shown please post it. See everyone in a couple of months. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
