Jason, thanks for the invite! As always, saying and doing the right thing, promoting in a positive light, absolutely nothing derogatory directed your way (the other big bad wolf, calling tracks n riders "clowns", I'd like him to step to the plate on this). This weekend the boys are going to Put-In-Bay for a reunion with the ex and her family on Saturday. As I stated earlier, Aidy has a sprained ankle we will test on Friday at Amherst Meadowlarks, and Sunday sounds like OIR. My offer still stands, the OMAs 3 most talented 17 and younger from your Battle last weekend and any 14 year old and younger vs Ryan/Adam/Michael and Aidy, Ohio residents, neutral track, transponders, add up their times, and pocket some cash!! I say we each throw in $1000-$10000 for our groups, more than double the pro purse at Chilli (I believe it was $4000) and I'm giving you a huge pool of riders to choose from (odds are aginst us!!!!). I had a long Island or 2 when I sent that text last night, but this morning my kids said let's race their best! Aug 1st we are heading to Budds Creek and Aug 2nd either Budds again or Tomahawk on way home. Personally, I'd much rather pay to have the kids ride, get tired, get home to do some things than stay at a race all day. The only races we attended this year were 2 or 3 at Meadowlarks, which, as you know, is where the boys grew up. I also saw the threads on the number of race participants etc. Again, the "clown" thing.........there are some great tracks in Ohio, and we hit as many as often as we can (3/4 a week). A few weeks ago I asked BrairCliff on Pit Racer if he would hold a later practice on that Sunday, because we were planning on going there and rain, rain, rain. We support all tracks, no bias, but again the "clown" comment, regardless of what track or riders it was directed at, Meadowlarks has been in existence for 60? years, love it or hate it, it has survived every storm. About a mile north of Meadowlarks is Lake Erie, fish don't ride, so we draw zero riders from the north. For a track owner to bash another track and their riders is crappy. If I'm told I'm offended or sensitive to that comment, I have one statement, please bring the best 3 17 and younger and 1 14 and younger from your "clique" (organization), we can wait for Looooooretas to pass and I will line up our 4 "clowns" from our clique (just some god ole boys) and the boys will do what this site was intended for.........to ride and race!!!! In a previous post someone said they were at Smith yesterday, please stop by and say hi! My son was on the Yam (X cuz hes too lazy to order numbers) , my youngest is (/ also too lazy) on a Yam, lol, just 2 good ole boys (cue the dukes of Hazzard). Thanks for listening!!! Im bored with myself now, I imagine you are too!!!
