I see the fall 2017 Pine Lake 6x6 semiannual gathering is scheduled for October 20, 21, 22. Does anyone plan on attending?
-
I would like to go as I never been there before BUT everything I have is in Parts ! popcorn
-
Wedge, you have two months to turn the parts into awsome machines. ;D Surely your Amphicat will be ready by then. popcorn
-
That's True ! FINGERS CROSSED !!! popcorn

Thanks for posting the dates for anyone that can go. Trying to keep racing alive can be challenging, but they are trying to do their best.
Can't blame some people that don't want to make a 400-500 mile drive to get there.
We drove back 2 years in a row 2,000 miles ONE WAY with a 16 foot trailer & gas at over $4 a gallon & prepaid $$ to help pay for plaques & an ambulance to be present for 2 days the first time & same but a little more $$, for 3 days the second time so everyone could get on the track for test & tune, Heats & Finals. It didn't happen, no ambulance. We didn't start feeling better till we crossed the New Mexico border going home.
However, we hope they will continue to do their best to keep racing alive... always will. Pine Lake is a great track with great memories & there is nothing like the feeling you get when racing these things on a track & making new memories. Hope they have a GREAT turnout. :)
-
I heard you and Whipper did alot to get things going again, thank you. I hope everyone appreciates what you two have done. I was there for the June event this year and we ran the trails. The track was under construction so no racing. I believe you can see the new track layout on Pine Lake's Facebook page.
It would be nice if you could make a future event there.
-
I will be there can't wait ! And thank you whipper and Bridgett for bringing the racing back !
-
Myself and maybe a few others will be there. Don't have a racer built yet. Have an old 400 chief and a poly body for it that needs to get done but there's no way that's gonna happen by October as I've yet to build a roll bar for the trail machine yet!! This needs to be done by October so Egoperf and myself can play!!! 😬
😂😂
-
I'll be there along with some of the NJ crew.
-
All you guys are GREAT & we miss you. Thanks for the kind words. Now make some more memories. :)
-
Wouldn't want to miss seeing everyone, hangin' out and some great trail riding! I'll be there.
-
I'll be there.

It should be a great weekend. For those who haven't been on the new track: it's faster, smoother, and even more Amphib-friendly than the old route, but I do miss the bowl and the off-camber turn. Word is that the track will include a mud pit just for us on the October weekend. Looking forward to seeing everybody again.
Whipper & Bridget; you have to fly out here for one of these when you can. I know it's too far to drive and lug all the machines with you, so the Kinyons will put you each in a racer for at least a class or two. It's just not the same without you two!
-
Hey Don...good to see you here AND so many others. Hate to tell you, but I think you just might miss the bowl & the off-camber hill more than you know... someday. :) It was unique & made the Pine Lake track a little more challenging than flat tracking. Suppose it will be one of those special "memories" which are always good to think back on. ;) And then you can say "I was there when....". ;D
We're counting on you guys to keep the dream alive & thanks for offering a machine or 2. At my age, as long as I can get in it I can drive it, but I've gotten a little spoiled with our springers. ;D
I hope Whip or I can get a RACING thread started soon with the 2 years of videos that we took in 2009 & 2010, then you guys can add your carnage to it. ;D & Thanks for missing us as we've missed all of you.
-
Ok, Don has offered up a couple of machines and no commitments yet so it's time to sweeten the pot. You will need a place to stay - I have that covered. You can stay in our spare bedroom. We are local, about 20 minutes from Pine Lake. If you every thought about attending another Pine Lake event and seeing your 6x6 family and friends, do it while you are still able to. ;)
As you can see "NO" doesn't appear to be an acceptable answer. popcorn
If not this year it is something to consider for next year.
-
Good to see you DON !!
If someone can fill me in I want the Address for there so I can see what I am looking at if I can go ?
Maybe I can hit the Lottory and purchase Lewi's racer ? whistling

That offer is sooo sweet of you, ascaw. I have siblings that live in the burbs of Cleveland still, so flopping somewhere is never an issue. But thank you so much all the same. :)
Wedge, take a " ride up to country" on your bike. (Not the pink one). ::) hilarious You'll love it. Trees will be turning colors.( My favorite time of the year back east.) Think about it.
-
Sounds like an Idea for sure May have to check Hamlin out. Any info on that place ?
-
Go on the new east extreme dirt track webpage and click on track info it will give you the address

Thanks for the invite Don, do you have some Springers we don't know about? hilarious hilarious
It's not likely you'll ever see us there again. I've spent enough money at Pine Lake.
Remind Bud he owes Whipper & Bridget $1600.00
Don you we're there that Friday morning, we we're told the track would be open all day to play and test and tune.
And we paid Bud the $500 a day he needed for the ambulance. Plus a little extra and we paid for all our racing just like every body else
Well that didn't happen did it. In fact, when some of us even stated our cars, Buds dad drove over and told us to turn them off. And what happened on Saturday? Bud was nowhere to be found.
I tried to call Bud for 2 days Cell, home, and work#,nothing.
We did finally get to race Sun. With no ambulance.
I entered 3 classes, I think then we we're doing 7 laps.
That's 21 laps divided by $1600 @ $76.19 lap.
Plus over $800.plus to drive home. Gas was over $4.00 a gal then.
So that's the story, No Fake News.
But thanks again for all the kind words and hospitality.
We probably would have come every year, but not after this.
Don't worry about us go racing and have some fun.
Thanks again, all of you.

Man! I didn't know all that shenanigans was going on. Whipper and Bridget, how are you two doing?

Now you know why we've never come back.
Don't worry about us we're doing fine.
Go racing and have some fun.
We got it started again, it's up to you to keep it going.
Go catch some air. :) :)
-
I wish that those things never happened. I miss having you guys out this side off the country.
If you want to go to Hamlin, you know you have a place to stay and a racer to climb into. :D
-
Whipper and Bridget, I knew you were instrumental in getting racing going again. You did yeomans work and unfortunately got shafted in the process. I don't blame you for not returning, that is a bitter pill to swallow. Although I do not race my Max, I thank you for all you have done to bring the 6x6 community together. These machines and events are alot of fun. If I ever get out to your neck of the woods, or should I say desert, I will look you up so we can meet face to face. Again thank you for all you have done.
And keep posting those awesome pics and videos. I'm looking foward to some videos of that crazy guy jumping cars in a 6x6 (if you have any).
-
OK, so now you know that it was a little bit more than the drive. :) Like Whip said, what we helped get started, you need to keep going. And for crying out loud, make sure Jimmy gets his stuff for winning 2 classes in points a year ago. >:( I have a saying on my refrigerator that says "the meek will be taken advantage of unless they learn to speak up" . We haven't always heeded it ourselves & sometimes too much, but sometimes people can use some help..... ;) Right is right & wrong is still wrong.
So tighten those lug nuts, rofl pile on the duct tape, rofl & have a blast. NO DNF's!!!! Some of you have had enough practice at that. :-*
-
Well, I hope to give a good "beat down" at Hamlin. Hopefully JBF will make a wrong turn in Albuquerque.
