They threatened to disqualify Logan right of the rip because I didn't want to park in the next spot, that was a mud hole. The water ticket was a joke, $10 bucks to fill from a single garden hose. Had to drive out to the entrance to get the water ticket then all the way back up to the garden hose. Kid running it pocketed $20 from and rv two spots behind me that didn't know he needed a ticket. While the sprinter directly behind me, he was going to make pull out and go get a ticket then come back to the line. I sent Logan down on the pit bike to buy them a ticket. In the mean while the workers switch out. Logan comes back up with the ticket. The new worker threats to disqualify Logan because he isn't 16, as I hand the guy the water ticket. I tell the guy how he is going to get chewed out by the guy in the rv he gives me attitude like I pocketed the $20 bucks. I said good luck with it and drove away.The staff at Tomahawk is terrible.
We were there for an area qualifier last year and had to point out to an official and an AMA ref that a bike on the line in a Limited class had an aftermarket pipe and silencer. Tomahawk official said “he was aware” and AMA official said nothing. I figure they would pull him off the line, nope, let him race.
I spoke to another AMA official (there were two that day) after the race and he told me he would look into it. Nope, raced again in stock class.
Finally after my son and I both separately went to their office to complain and let them know we wouldn’t drop it, they DQ’d him.
Point is, doesn’t matter if he finished last or first, he could be involved in an incident with another rider and affect their qualifying score. Pretty sure he was a local rider there and had some kind of relationship with the track.
Most likely won’t ever go back. Facility was not all that great.
awesome for my friend Powers to get in
Yes they were. High point was an area and tomahawk was their regional.Was Tomahawk on the original regional schedule? Lets be honest, some tracks got regionals simply because of Covid19. Now all you hear on the news in the spike of Covid19 in the country. Let's all hope the governors in all these states don't shut everything down!
Dudes arms who was running the gas powered pole setter had to be jelly after running that thing. It was a hand held stamper that fit over the top of the pole. I knew I was glad it wasn't me running the thing all weekend.Prolly took all that gate fee cash right to Home Depot to get fence material.
Matt and Temp are great people. It's well deserved. He has worked hard on his riding and conditioning, and its paid off. Matt and I had the longest consecutive streaks of racing at least one race at dirt country until they did not have races this year. Would have been like 32 consecutive years for me, and 31 for Matt. Think we are the only two in District 11 to be going that many straight years without disruption.Matt was camped next to me and Davey Jones. Nice dude hung out with him all weekend. Of course now I'm not quite sure about him though since you said he was your friend! haha
He was another of several Vets telling me to switch to a 350......
As for the 350....yeah, he has told me that too. But he even bought a 450.
Pretty sure the new Rockstar model he has is a 450. Hell I could be wrong.??? He told me his bike was a 350 and said he loved it.
