No offense Olson but what happened to that great new BLR ad?
Hackett, it sounds like the Outlaw Race this weekend was another barn burner.
Dave G: I was thinking that "model" actually had the offset Indy going on ...doesn't the one on the left look a little higher than the one on the right?

a class is doing stories with morals, and each child has to come up with said story...
little jane stands up, "my uncle john's hen laid 12 eggs but non of them hatched."
"very good says teacher, and the moral is"...
"don't count your chickens until they've hatched" says janey.
next up andrew. "my dad planted 12 apple trees, but the wind blew and they all fell down."
whats the moral? "its an ill wind that blows no good" says andrew.
then sam stands up. "my uncle billy was in the marines and one day the helicopter he was flying in was hit with a missile, everyone was killed but uncle billy. as the chopper fell burning to the ground he grabbed a machine gun, a bottle of whisky, a knife and a parachute and jumped out."
"as he's floating down he's wondering what to do so he drinks the whisky, and just as he's finished the bottle he sees a hundered enemy soldiers waiting on the ground for him. so he throws the empty bottle and that kills one, he then gets his gun and kills another 50 but then his bullets run out, so he grabs his knife cuts himself out the parachute and then stabs another 29 but then the blade snaps. luckily the empty bottle was by his foot so he smashes it and uses the broken end to kill another 15 but then the bottle gets stuck in a skull and he can't pull it out. as theres only 5 left he figures what the heck and strangles them."
"ok "said the teacher, "thats a rather unusual story and i can't quite see the moral?"
"its obvious innit" says billy, "don't mess with uncle billy when he's had a drink coz he's a violent f@cker!"

A farmer finds out his daughter is pregnant. In a rage he jumps in his pick up truck and drives to the next farm. He goes up and bangs on the front door like a man possessed.
Little Johnny answers the door.
"Where's that big brother Ben of yours?" demands the farmer.
"Well," says Johnny, "he and ma and pa went into town for a while."
"Do you know anything about your brother Ben getting my little girl pregnant?"
"Well," Johnny says, "I know Pa gets $50 for that big hog and $100 for the bull, but I don't know how much he gets for Ben."

Golds tein and Silverstein are sitting on the beach at West Palm. Silverstein says, "so, when did you retire?"
Goldstein replies, "when a fire destroyed my store, I took the insurance money and decided to call it quits. What about you?"
Silverstein says, "when a hurricane wiped me out, I took it as a sign and wanted to enjoy my golden years."
Goldstein thinks for a moment and then asks, "how do you start a hurricane?"

Thanks for the killer race Hackett & LCB. I aim to be as bonkers as y'all after the next couple of those. O'Shei you're a madman. Damn that was fun.

This farmer has about 200 hens, but no rooster and he wants chicks. So, he goes down the road to the next farmer and asks if he has a rooster which he would sell. The other farmer says, "Yeah, I've got this great rooster named Chuck. He'll service every chicken you got, no problem." Well, Chuck the rooster costs alot of money, but the farmer decides he'd be worth it.
So, he buys Chuck. The farmer takes Chuck home and sets him down in the barnyard, first, giving the rooster a pep talk, "Chuck, I want you to pace yourself now. You've got a lot of chickens to service here, and you cost me a lot of money. Consequently, I'll need you to do a good job. So, take your time and have some fun," the farmer said, with a chuckle.
Chuck seemed to understand, so the farmer points toward the hen house, and Chuck took off like a shot. - WHAM! - Chuck nails every hen in the hen house - three or four times, and the farmer is really shocked. After that the farmer hears a commotion in the duck pen, sure enough, Chuck is in there. Later, the farmer sees Chuck after a flock of geese, down by the lake.
Once again, - WHAM! - He gets all the geese.
By sunset he sees Chuck out in the fields chasing quail and pheasants. The farmer is distraught-worried that his expensive rooster won't even last 24 hours.
Sure enough, the farmer goes to bed and wakes up the next day to find Chuck dead as a doorknob - stone cold in the middle of the yard.
Buzzards are circling overhead. The farmer, saddened by the loss of such a colorful and expensive animal, shakes his head and says, "Oh Chuck, I told you to pace yourself. I tried to get you to slow down, now look what you've done to yourself."
Chuck opens one eye, nods toward the buzzards circling in the sky and says, "Shhhh, they're getting closer..."

RIP Hunter S. Thompson

Hey Man,
There's nothing like racin in the rain. Sounds like it was an awesome weekend. Go Big John! It's cool to see the New Mexico guys showing up. I gotta try to make it out in March.
Hackett, I dig the ad.
What do you call a tiny Puerto Rican? A Spec.
How do you get a nun pregnant? Dress her as an alter boy.
What do you call a black guy after he gets lip reduction surgery? Big lips.
Why can’t Stevie Wonder read? Because he’s black.
Why do chicks fake orgasms? Who cares?
Two explorers are captured by African Cannibals. They are tied up in the giant pot of water, heating up over a fire when one of the explorers starts laughing uncontrollably. The other guy says, “what’s so funny”? “I just pissed in the soup”.
What do you do if an elephant comes through your window? Swim.
A guy is hunting in the forest when he comes across a naked woman sitting on a tree stump. He asked her “are you game”? She answered “yes”, so he shot her.

Still, feels good to be tooled up. Reckon as I'll leave the podium to the writhing-ankled belly-dancing uber-babes and multi-skilled wonderboys.

It was a long day...
I want to start out here by giving HUGE props to Tiger Williams who ran Lynn Kramers' awesome timing system ALL DAY LONG and figured out the placings at the end of the race in record time! Thanks Tiger!!
Also HUGE PROPS to "The GodFather of Contemporary Slalom" - Mark McCree for keeping everyone in line and ready to go at the start- Thanks man, you RULE!!
Here's how it went down; We set the course at 10 am.
I took a practice run; then it rained...
McCree and Hollien headed back to the hotel; can you blame them?
Being the responsible race promoter and organizer, I smoked a cigar
in the front of the van with legendary downhill speedboarder Jimmy Flindt.
While we both pondered the rains' longevity. About 40 minutes later the rain stopped but the road remained WET. So, we decided to move some of the cones in on the dry pavement so we could start this bad boy. Right about when we were done; it rained AGAIN!
Enter John O'Shei. Maniac? DumbAss? Hardcore? Heuvos GRANDE? Maybe a mix of all 4...He took one look at that course and pushed in hard all out from the top in the rain on a wet course and bombed the whole hill CLEAN. S-I-C-K.
We were all in disbelief. This feat definitely raised the "NUTSACK FACTOR" about 10 notches. We HAD to run the course just to get a time. You never know...
Then the rain stopped; and the course was dry in about an hour. During this time we ran and ran and ran those cones and that course balls out in a tuck from top to bottom. I was stoked on clocking a 33.5 on my first timed run. By the time 2 o'clock rolled around the number one spot had been passed from Chicken to Maysey, to Kosick, to Brunson and O'Shei and back 3- 4 times over in the 29, 28, 27, and sub 27 when O'Shei hit a 26.32 and it looked like that was going to be it. We all had another run through the roster but O'Shei was unbeatable at that point in the game.
All in all, an amazing day of high speed racing at it's finest.
Huge thanks to all the Speed boarder guys who showed up to give the race an extra element of GNAR: Jimmy Flindt, The Rogers Brothers, Will Brunson everyone else who made this event a huge success!!
Who ever missed this race - REALLY MISSED IT. The final results follow:
1st - O'Shei 26.32
2nd - Maysey 26.48
3rd - Kosick 26.62
4th - Chicken 26.94
5th - Brunson 27.64
6th - Budro 27.72

A guy walks into a restaurant in his shirt sleeves. The maitre' d informs him the establishment requires a coat and tie.
The guy goes back to his car to put on his coat but can't find anything to go around his neck except some jumper cables. So he ties them on and goes back inside.
The honcho in charge takes one look and says, "well, ok, but don't go startin' anything!"

Little Johnny watched his daddy's car pass by the school playground and go into the woods. Curious, he followed the car and saw Daddy and Aunt Jane in a passionate embrace.
Little Johnny found this so exciting that he could not contain himself as he ran home and started to tell his mother, "Mommy, I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane........"
At this point Mommy cut him off and said, "Johnny, this is such an interesting story, suppose you save the rest of it for supper time. I want to see the look on Daddy's face when you tell it tonight."
At the dinner table, Mommy asked little Johnny to tell his story. Johnny start ed his story, "I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane and Daddy started doing the same thing that Mommy and Uncle Bill used to do when Daddy was in the Army."
Moral: Sometimes you need to listen to the whole story before you interrupt.

A girl walks up to the express lane at the grocery store and starts putting her items on the conveyor. A carton of milk, a box of cereal, a tin of coffee and a bag of cookies. The man ahead of her in line looks at her purchases, then at her, and exclaims in a slighly drunken slur, "Well, I guess you must be single". She repies, "Why yes, but how could you tell that? From looking at my groceries?" "No", he says, "Cause you're ugly!"

McCree, Hollien, Tiger and I just had dinner
and are kicking it smoking fat cigars...
For those racing tomorrow; get there early.
The race will start at 12 Noon sharp.
The course will be mostly Super GS; not many
sharp turns, just a nice fast line- Makeable
even in the rain or on a wet surface.
Full paddage is recommended especially a Helmet
and wrist guards with gloves.
Olson will be bringing his Porsche design military
issue custom goggles complete with wind shield wiper
blades.
I of course will be looking busy while praying to the rain gods
for a dry race window.
McCree will be starting each racer in order of the racers list.
This means NO WAITING IN LINE for your shot at a timed run.
Make sure you know who is in front of you and who goes after you
in the line up.
oLsOn will show up about 3AM from LA ready to Rock and Roll...
The course will be open from 12 Noon to 2 PM. Maybe 3 depending upon the
wheather, and or if everyone has had enough by 2 O'clock- We will take a group
conscience at 2...
There will be a one cone penalty. Hit one cone, your good. No time added. Hit two cones- Start footbraking, your run is a DQ.
Tiger was injured attempting a Mute 720 snowboarding in Mammoth last week, so he will be our official timer.
Who will show? Who will win? Who will place? Who will slam? Who will lead the point standings after the 2nd BLR, LCB, RADIKAL, PPS KHIRO OUTLAW?
Only time will tell...
