Anyone riding the OMA Winter Nationals at Coal Creek this weekend (Jan 16-17)?

http://www.omawinternationals.com/

It's supposed to warm up (from teens to 30's/40's)....[url=posting.php?mode=post&f=3#]:cool:[/url]

looks interesting... I'm so over this cold weather.. I hope to do alot of offroad riding like I did a couple years ago this year..

I'm running in the 2pm race Saturday:dirtbike: , and may go back sunday if I can still walk LOL

If you want any pit support, let me know - I'm going to go over and watch and while I'm there I could help out if you want.

I'm really interested in finding out what the route is. Python and I have ridden there a couple of times and I'm curious how tough the competition course is compared to what we "normally" ride![url=posting.php?mode=reply&f=3&t=849#]:dunno:[/url]


...and good luck with BOTH days!

I'M IN A WHITE SPRINTER VAN WITH GNCC STICKERS ALL OVER THE BACK WINDOWS

Sorry for the caps lol, stop by an say hello

Good times had by all today

Big kudos the John (smokeinzx10) on his 1st place, Wayne on 2nd place

Mike S. (KTM200) started the race with a flat front and still finished 12th overall "sheese" Oh and he got the holeshot too.

My first race in the "B" class 9th of 12 not to good, 13th overall about 25 to30 riders Total, I was having a off day got 3rd off the line

I did 3 laps on a short track only 5.3 miles a lap, the pros got 4 laps I think

really tight and tech trails, some of it was not very fun riding, lots of tree limbs trying to poke holes in ya, one down hill that would make Chuck Norris crap his diper, I took a header on it the 2nd lap scart me some, lots of slick off angle logs one of them got me good, plenty of vines hanging in the trail hope they were not "P Ive" , I was really happy to be running a trails tire today lots of very slick roots, and all up or down hill, not very many rocks , a few places with sheet ice that kicked a lot of butts LOL

1st pict Mikes cold weather homemade gear from the Badlanta cold team race at social circle, GA

2nd Mike doing field repairs with lots of help

3rd John and Wayne having their moment of fame LOL

4th our parking row, parking was great all sawdust and right on the starting line

Gonna decide in the morning weather to race Sunday afternoon depends on how sore I am, and how much rain we get...........

"a few places with sheet ice that kicked a lot of butts LOL" haha, I have that on video, I will see if I can grab that part out and post it up. Looking at it on video, it sure didn't look as bad as I remember it to be, that one scared me a little. This is the overall results. Here is a little clip of the ice mishap. For some reason when I use windows movie maker I lose sound, but that is probably better because there was a few undesirable words while this was happening.

Looks like a great time.. Thanks for posting the pics and sharing!!

Rockbreaker, sorry I missed you. I went through the pits about 11 am, but that may have been too early given the later start time. Sounds like the trail was challenging to ride fast (or even slow!).

Some good picts
