Who's going?

I never went before but I'll be in the area and figured I'd check it out on Sunday.

http://www.nepsnotrails.org/

I need details. Is this a radar run on grass/water or what? I race for the EWA and will be there if water is involved...

I believe it's a radar run on grass and then they also have a watercross. They don't list the watercross on the website due to insurance reasons but they are having one. You could probably contact one of the individuals on the website for more details.

Sorry I don't know more but I've never gone before and this will be the first year that I'm checking it out.

Awesome. I'm going to give someone a call about it later today. Hopefully I'll be allowed to oval...

Might be heading that way !

I should be there Sunday. I talked to someone who used to be the VP of the club and he sounded very nice..

I've been a member of the club since 1980. They are all a good group of people. I don't know many personally since I live a couple of hours away but everyone I have dealt with have been great. We'll be vacationig nearby so we'll be there Sunday!

anyone know any details???? classes? and most important what time does it start?

Yo.....just got back from the 'Grass Drag Radar Run and Water Cross' event!

I'm here to tell you that the Land Owner and the Club busted their ballz and knockers to show all a good time.
My 4 year old Grandson said there were 5 sleds that sunk before the awards were presented.
The Land Owner was the solo recovery unit on the 'water hole'......he had the longest freekin' rope I have ever seen on an ATV. The man did 'a Hell of a job'...........I believe he got some real nasty 'Grass/Hay Burns' running a rig on the grass track that started to drift and he went for the save.......only to loose the upper and lower dermis of his right leg. Man....that about grass rash!! Yikes!! If I'm incorrect on the driver of this sled ..?....help me out here!

There is talk that there is going to be another event held around the 24th of August. Best to watch the web site for the date.
We took a ton of video and still pictures. We will post some as soon as they are down loaded and the video is edited. I will make a video and send it to the Club and a 'sailor that was running a new F6 CAT THAT DID NOT LIKE WATER'.

For sure the 'The Hole in Wall Gang' will be coming to the next months event.
KUDOS to the LAND OWNER and CLUB!!!!! Thanks for keeping our sport alive!!!
Thankz!
Godspeed

I had a great time on the pond. Looking forward to going back. A bunch of awesome people for sure!

Ok........What I got from the P and VP was that the next event will be on the 24th of August rather than the 17th do to 'somebody being out of town'. I'm sure that is safe to say.....keep posted to the web site to be sure. YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS fun event. If you bring a sled or just watch....?...better to be riding....but....the whole family will enjoy the action and excitement.

We arrived there this past Sunday just about noon and the 'early birds' were already running the grass and getting 'gunned' unofficially. There were a few wide 'normal' ski stance modern sleds on the 'pond' doing straight line in and run about 150 yds or so and straight out to a slight grade on the other side of the pond. Then they would return the same way, except for a sailor on new F6 Cat that didn't like water and the skipper claimed he was attacked and sunk by 3 killer Carp! He claimed he woke the first one up....pizzed the 2nd on off and the 3rd one kicked his azz!!!

It was about 1330 and the Club started running the 'Oldie/vintage' sleds on the grass. It appeared you got two 'gunned runs' and they took your best or average time. The modern sleds followed with the same 2 run regiment.
After that the modern sleds ran the pond and that portion was not 'gunned'.............This water cross was for the guyz that had the ballz and the gals with knockers up that wanted to run on the water.
There was a 'young buck' on a polaris with a narrow ski stance set up for water who did one 'hell of a job' doing CC ovals.
His sidekick ran the straight line once and got a bad start or that band of killer carp got him on his return and sank. The land owner was 'sole recovery' on a Quad and was on 'the stick' as soon as a sled was under. He did an awesome job keeping things moving.
The owner of the Water Polaris got the machine rolled and drip dried and was out there on his 'twin pipes' but got robbed and sunk due to a broken throttle cable. Again the 'land owner' was there to get him out and over to the riders area to spin dry. For what it is worth...After 5 sleds went under I did not see any fuel or oil slics on the water surface.
The Club had GOOD food and bevs at a very reasonable cost. They had 4 trophies they presented 1 for the slowest oldie, 1 for the fastest oldie, 1 for the fastest modern sled on grass and one for the 'Big Splash'......this guy was on a 'Big Doo' making his return trip on the pond ...NO HANDS... and an attempt to THROTTLE WITH HIS TOES on his right foot?? That got him the 'Big Slash' Honorable mention.
All in all this was a no stress fun event. It was not an anal event ......all who attended had a great time. If this keeps up and we can have more events like this, we maybe able to get HSC to eliminate
I would sure like to see the Club try and hold some late winter 900ft Hill Climbs at 1, 2 , 3 , 4 , or 5 of our local resorts!!! Now that would round out the 360 ! Yes?
Kudos to The Club, cooks, ticket sellers, pickers, helpers, LAND OWNER and all who attended and made this all possible.
Godspeed,

Great write up. I was the young buck on the Polaris doing ovals. I have a lot of man hours into that machine and was glad to see everyone appreciate it.

When are these people gonna learn? Cats don't like water!!!

I hope to be back August 24th with the water sled and a few sleds for the grass.

Hey....'you the man'.....please be sure to be there! Nice rig and riding!!! You ever try trolling on the river with that rig??????
Thanks...
Godspeed

Hahaha
Not yet!

I've been thinking about certain streams and rivers for months though...

I saw you up there on Sunday but I didn't realize it was you, otherwise I would have stopped by and said hello. I was parked on the end with the black Z71 Suburban. BTW - you put on a great oval show!

Hopefully I'll get to meet some of you in August.

Here's some pics!

Those are some great pics. Thanks for posting them PolarisBum!!

Will you be up there on the 24th?

As of now it doesn't look like I'll make it but you never know. If I do I'll stop over and say hello now that I know who you are.
