What can I say but WOW! This year we had a better
turn out, more give aways, cooler shirts, and a full on drag
facility! If you missed this event, you should start kicking
yourself right now.
Pete from
Got Sand?
was out there in full
force, when this guy sets up a vendors booth, he sets up a
compound! Pete helped us out with the t-shirts this year and
provided a nice place to mount our banner too. Thanks again
Pete!
Friday night was relatively peaceful,
the hill was quiet which made for some great friend to friend,
heads up racing. We decided to call it an early night, after all
Saturday was going to be a long long day!
Saturday morning came like the
thunder, people mobbing the registration table, signing up, buying
t-shirts, buying raffle tickets and getting ready to lay it all on
the line. The first event was the Show N Shine, we had everybody
line their bikes up according to make and turned our judges loose
on the line up. It was great to see so many different quads lined
up and their riders getting along.
Here are
the results:
Butt Ugliest overall – Mitch Duslak and
his LT500
Wildest overall – Rudy of RIS Designs
and his Banshee
Best Stock – Jarred higgens and his
400EX
Unfortunately we were not prepared for the variety
of bikes, so we had to rearrange the classes for the Show N Shine.
Next year will be different!
Next event was the Sand Drags, I think
this was the favorite of all the participants. We taped off a
section of the sandiest flats at Dumont, set up lights and POOF
instant dragstrip! Within minutes the lanes were packed with one
quad after the next making their passes.
Everybody was great, they were
safe and followed all of our instructions, THANKS! We didn’t
know how long it was going to take to run through all the
participants, luckily it went very smoothly and very quickly so
everybody got a chance to make several passes.
Here are the results:
After the tear down
of the drag strip, a little break for lunch and a ride around
Dumont with some of the other volunteers, we headed over to Comp
Hill to set up the lanes for the Hill Climbs. If you have never
been to Dumont, you cannot appreciate the sheer steepness of Comp
Hill, which we had to walk up to set up the track. Man were we
exhausted after that!
Once the lanes were
staked off, it was a mad dash of quads lining up to race. We
established the order and got under way with twin radar guns
clocking speeds within a 150 yard distance up Comp.
Here are the results:
Fastest LT500 – TIE between Keith Dewitt
and Tyler Zuech, 57MPHFastest Banshee – Russ Prescott,
51MPHFastest 250cc – Jason Phillips, 57MPH
Fastest 4 stroke – Danny Garcia,
46MPH
King of the Hill
– Jason Phillips with a 57MPH win overall on his 250R Fastest
on the hill Tyler Zuech with a 58MPH on his 500cc 3 wheeler
Time for a little embarrassment….
SLOWEST on the hill
Slowest LT500 – Mitch Duslak,
40MPH
Slowest Banshee – Justin Kinsey, 39MPH
(On a Banshee?)
Slowest 250cc – Bill Pingry,
42MPH
Slowest 4 stroke – Tony Minigen, 25MPH
(WOW!)
We finished up with
the hillclimbs and headed back to camp for a much needed break and
to tally up the scores. Unfortunately the printer at the drags had
some issues and we had to track speeds the old fashioned way. This
caused for some confusion, but we made due. While tallying up the
scores we had to modify the classes we had already established to
cover the entries that we had. We apologize for the confusion to
all participants.
We owe a big thank you to
all of the great sponsors who made this event possible. Please show
them your support by giving them your business whenever you
can.
