Summer Bummer Saturday
What
does Cabbage and hot sauce have in common? Well absolutely nothing…but
I was having a hard time
figuring out a way to start the story (very late mind you) for the romp with
the nudies at the Summer Bummer
Saturday event. Sometimes just starting to type helps get my mind going…….
Ha, romp with the nudies..that is
funny!
This years event found the trace (three) amigos all lined up to ride together
in Gus, Dean-o-Bravo and myself along
with newish recruit Smoothie Schomberg. Man this was going to be a good time
for sure. Feeling a bit saucy we
decided to throw all caution to the wind and travel the fat road thru Shy-Town.
As it turned out we were able to zip
thru the mess that those crazy FIB’s call home and even improved our
fuel mileage on the trip down. How did we do
that…we’ll simply by lightening our wallets by $742.03 worth
of toll money spent…geezz come on guys.. enough
with the tolls already! Landing at the beautiful Aurora Sun Resort we quickly
found a nice parking spot to set up the
Team P&G/Moose/Powermadd/Protect/Polisport/MP Powersports/Endruo Pilot
race rig. Whopper Jr (the artist
formerly know as Bobby Kau JR) and Bob “my kid is a Harescramble rider” Kau
were south bound and wanted to
park by us as well so we saved them a spot. With plans to have a block party
that eve it would be nice to be parked
together….my good buddy Jeff Freddette had saved us spots but we did
not see him in time and jacked him by not
taking advantage of his staked out area (sorry buddy…we really do appreciate
it!).
All settled in we eased on up to sign up. Smoothie, the tactical/operations
manager for P&G
Offroad/Moose/Powermadd/Protect/Polisport/MP Powersports/Endruo Pilot’s
team had us all signed up already so
the hot row assignments were all ready to go for us! Today’s trail
menu included 5 laps on a closed course, this
course would prove to be a nice mixture of tight flowing trails, tight trails,
naked people, some mud holes, a stuck
GQ Burquist, some more nudies and a couple of logs. All in all good trail.
Thanks to the club for all the hard work!
The day was fun and all parties got their monies worth that is for sure.
Gus and I would battle back and forth with
Dean in his wisdom sitting back and using his locomotive style of riding
(he just keeps going and going) watching it
all. Whopper JR is getting fast…too fast. Soon we will not let him
ride with us as we cannot damage our fragile ego’s
(no just kidding but he is getting fast). Smoothie on the other hand is learning
first hand that the speed at which you
ride is equal to the amount of time you have to spend on prepping your bike.
He lost his brakes on the second lap
and helped in the pits. Scores below for all the guilty parties:
Name Class Class Place Scores final points
Pete AA 9th 0 0 0 0 2 0 2 0 3 0 16 23
Gus 250A 4th 1 0 1 0 3 0 3 0 3 0 15 26
Dean Op A 3rd 1 0 0 0 3 0 3 0 4 1 17 29
Whop 250b 2nd 3 0 4 0 2 0 3 0 3 cut off 15
Smo DNF
So that was the short of the short and the way that it played out score wise.
The big news of the day was our buddy
Ryan Mossy Oak snagging the Grand Champion award and showing everybody that
he still hauls the mail!
Congrats little buddy, next stop 2 beer town for you! Another overall winner
award goes to Swiss Family
Robinson…he drank the most beer, looked at the most Bares and just
narrowly beat out Bob Kau for the overall in
that dept. Nice work mister!
The racing all done it was time gather around the Team P&G/Moose Racing
/Powermadd/Protect/Polisport/MP
Powersports/Endruo Pilot’s rig for our Block party. If you have not
been to one you should hit the next one. We
have these get together’s at two day events where everybody brings
a dish to pass and eats way to much food. It is
truly what riding a dirtbike embodies to me. Good times and good friends!
So with that, this Team P&G/Moose Racing/Powermadd/Protect/Polisport/MP
Powersports/Endruo Pilot’s rider is
going to sign off. Hope you picked up on the subtle sponsor plugs!
Here’s dirt in your eyes,

Speedy Pete
