All:

Sure seems weird to write 07-08, time IS flying.

The winter schedule was one of the toughest to work out this season.
Hunting restrictions and lack of places to go get more problematic every
season.  Everyone keep your eyes peeled for new spots.  Now is the time to
start planning for next season.

Here's the 07-08 calendar.  As always it is subject to tweaking so be sure
and check the website for any changes.  I don't anticipate any at this time.
We'll try to get these dates on the website and the flier out by this
weekend.

10-7 Lakeview, KY
10-21 Crofton, KY
11-4 Cadiz, KY
11-11 Lynnville, IN
12-2 Westmoreland, TN
12-9 Marion, IL
1-19/20 Maplesville, AL
2-10 Michigan City, MS
2-24 Vanleer, TN
3-16 BigBluff, KY
3-23 Bucksnort, TN
4-20 Gamaliel, KY  (This will also be Round 1 of Summer Series)
5-4 Snow Date

Mark your calendars, and plan your vacations!  After this long no riding
summer I'm anxious for some cooler weather and getting back to riding!  Hope
you are too.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks for checking.  We finished the schedule last night.  I will try
to get it posted/announced it this evening.  Email or call me off line
if you need sooner..

Thanks,
Scott

Scott-

Are the dates for the winter series hard-set dates at this point??  We
are in the process of planning our "Southern Indiana Hare Scramble
Series" banquet and wanted to verify that all the dates until the
first of the calendar year are hard set.

Thanks,
Brooke

any photos of the 07 loratte lynns fun ride?

All:

Again, due to drought conditions, the Cadiz Summer Event originally
scheduled for this weekend is cancelled.  It will not be postponed as there
are no available dates between now and the start of the winter season.
There is a slight possibility the Cadiz location could be scheduled as a
07-08 winter series event, but current calendar conflicts may prevent that.

As of today, the Labor Day event at Vanleer TN is still a go.  That is
subject to change as well.

We have considered starting the Winter Series a couple weeks early this
season (9/23).  This was only ever considered to provide another "slot"
where we can avoid scheduling conflicts.  Unfortunately with the amount of
dry weather we have had, it may be impractical to attempt it.

Stay tuned and watch the website just in case we must have an early start
date, but at this time, we will start the winter schedule as currently
posted.  Tentative start location is Lakeview, KY.

Land and locations where we have suitable promoters and property continue to
be more and more scarce.  Hunting leases are our top competitor this year
and it is possible we will lose 1 or 2 events this year due to hunt lease
conflicts.

So, everyone please keep your eyes open for new places we can prepare for
next season.

Best,
Scott

Here is one fast KX 100 Super mini Championship Winning Bike.
The Motor was built by Chris Grisham Racing of Suzuki of Paris in
Paris, TN. It is STROKED to 105cc. Ported & Polished. Head Milled,
Cases Milled. Carb. is bored and jetted. The motor has a NEW top end
kit; piston, rings, wrist pin, rod bearing, clips and gaskets. It
also has a NEW set of V-Force3 reeds.
After winning the Championship I rebuilt the top end as well as put
on NEW Acerbis Plastic.
Here is a huge list of extras on the bike: Black Excel Wheels, Hole
Shot Device, Super Cooler, High Pressure Radiator Cap, IMS Foot
Pegs, a DEP Pipe and Silencer.
Front fork's have been resprung and revalved for a 140lb rider. The
rear shock was replaced with a FOX Podium1. There is over $1000.00
in suspension on this bike!!!
The top end of the motor was replaced after every 3 races and there
is only 15 races on this bike. The bike runs 110-113 octane race
fuel and has only had Amsoil 2 stoke mix in it.
This thing is SUPER fast and was built for my son to WIN the JR.A
Championship in the Mid South Hare scrambles Winter Series.
There is well over $8000.00 invested in this bike!
This is NOT a bike for a beginner!!!!!! I have seen this bike hole
shoot and out run some 125cc. bikes!!!!

Selling price is $3,000.00 FIRM
You can email us at byarlyracing@... or call 270-339-4926
I have several pics of the bike if you are interested!

Please let everyone know that the Vanleer race has been postponed
until Labor Day Sunday, September 2nd. There are still people calling,
and we just want to make sure that people don't travel the distance to
find an empty parking lot. Thanks and hopr to see ya soon, DA

As you know there is a high probability that the race could be
postponed due to the extreme heat and extreme drought. We had had
only 1-1/4" of rain since April. If it is postponed it will be
rescheduled to a date to be determined by Scott.
This being said, I thought I'd let you know a little about the
course. With the help of Bobby Thomas, Steve Thomas, and others,
I've been working on the trails for a year now since I have been
unable to race this past season while recovering from injuries I
recieved at the 1st round at Gamaliel (maybe that's why we named the
race Cripple Creek). We have a great 12.6 mile course for the bikes.
This should help to spread everyone out so the dust won't be quite
as bad (remember, it is still summer). The course doesn't have any
crazy hills and is mostly not very technical. Some sections are
trails that some of you old timers might remember from the old Twin
States Enduro. We also have a couple of miles that I can guarantee
won't be dusty.
The Quad course will use 8.5 miles fo the bike course. About 4 miles
have been cut off at the landowner's request, sorry. But I really
don't think you'll mind it as bad as you think.
The Juinor A & B's will ride a 2.7 mile course and the Mini's will
ride 2.6 miles. One small section will be different for the Mini's.
The Peewee course is a .5 mile bow-tie shaped trail of mostly woods
that the kids and parents will both be happy with.
The race is located as a crow flies, about two or three miles north
west of Willow Creek if this helps describe the type of terrain we
have.
Campers are welcome however no fires of any kind can be permitted at
this time.
I hope this information has been helpful.
See ya here,
Chris Sumner

All:

3 topics in this message:

1.  The summer event at Vanleer, TN originally scheduled for next weekend
has been postponed.  It will be moved to Labor Day weekend, Sunday,
September 2nd.  The promoter says the property is too dry to have a race.
Unless it gets some rain, it could be cancelled entirely.  Note that the
final summer event near Cadiz, KY is also in jeopardy due to the dry
conditions.  Watch the website for updates as we know them

2. Sloan's Cycles, one of our long-time TierII sponsors has announced a
contingency program for Mid-South Winter Hare Scrambles Series riders.  For
information, go to our website (msws.org) and click on the Sloan's
Supercenter logo.

Note that many of our TierII sponsors offer programs for Mid-South riders,
be sure to check with your local Tier II sponsoring dealership to be sure
you are taking advantage of their support, too.

3. As promised at the banquet, I am sending out the list of riders who have
qualified for advancement due to their outstanding performance in last
season's winter series.    These riders must move to the next rider
classification per our rules.  For those not on this list:  If you didn't
get force-advanced, it does not mean you should not move up to the next
class if it is appropriate to do so.  Do the right thing, ride in the class
you are supposed to be in.

Join me in congratulating the following riders whose performance was so good
they must move up:
B to A
Ashburn, J
Cook, S
Gentry, S
Hines, J
Humphrey, C
Jackson, J
Phelps, D

B to C
Thacker, M
Bowman, E
Childers, L
Childers, W
Cresor, A
Dickerson, S
Frost, Richard
Frost, Ronnie
Greer, K
Griffin, D
McDonald, K
Robertson, J
Taylor, S

ATV A to B
Biggs, C
Musarra, F
Pendley, R
Spillman, D
Wall, P


ATV C to B
Dilehay, J
Gregory, C
Jones, D
Minshey, R
Sutton, G
Wheeler, N

If anyone who made this list feels it is in error, contact me via E-mail and
I will send the list of events and the advancement qualifying finish
details.  IKnow someone I missed, let me know.  f you know you should be on
the list, and you were missed for whatever reason, omission is not
permission to stay back.  Any rider advanced whether by formal announcement,
or by recorded performance, is subject to a successful protest by other
riders.  And they do.  Every year.  Note:  All 2nd place C riders were not
advanced.  This was not an error.  Only those 2nd place C class winners who
are on the list were (force) advanced to B.

As for our upcoming events, everybody do a rain dance please.

Thanks,
Scott

Hello Mark,  wasn't thinking bad of you at all.  Nor anyone else.

   It would take major, major for me to be upset with anyone from the Mid-South. 
It's like a family.

   We miss seeing you and your wife at the races.  And, I can't even imagine what
you children look like.  Nice family.

   Take care,  Debbie

night. Practice starts in the late afternoon.

No really, I do sincerely apologize for not considering the fifteen or

way of doing things nor your emplyees' moral.

I really just wanted to see how many people did not want the idea and
why. Now, I have a general idea without any real specifics. That's
okay.

I do want to thank the yamvet man for his answer. You were honest and
upfront without a condemning demeanor. As far as others go, I dodged

Now, if you all don't mind, I would like to come down from this limb

...."They didn't make "On Any Sunday" because the title sounded good."


    May be one of the best one liners ever!!

They didn't make "On Any Sunday" because the title sounded good.  It
has always been that Sunday was race day East,West, North and South.
It is tradition and that's not saying tradition can not be broken but
in this time of life it's just the best choice for the majority of the
race population and today's as well as yesterdays lifestyle. It just
clicks.

I agree!!!!!  Bike shop employees will be screwd!!!!  Also, a lot of other
people work till 12:00 om Saturdays making it difficult to get to a Sunday race.

   But whatever, I quit riding a while back because I couldn't get to all the
races because I work on Saturdays!!!!

there is the dreaded inventory that you could do during December or

I am a shop owner and do not allow employee's to take off Saturday's
unless it's tied to weeks vacation. 45% of the weeks business happens
on Saturday. It takes lots of manpower to handle a Saturday in a bike
shop. I have people that work only 1 day a week and that day is Sat.
I have no preference on the subject at hand, just wanted to share a
bike shop owners' perspective.

Good luck

Saturday is something worth looking into, then please don't use that
as your excuse not to want it.

I posted the notice of the stolen KTM 300 on KTMTalk and Texas Off Road
Network pages.  They hang "horse thieves" in Texas! It may not have
made it that far but you never know. Hope you get this bike back.  I
had one stolen off an open trailer as we were moving cross country.
Stole my dirt bike but left the street bike.

From raceral (Al Westerfield?  Not sure.  Anyway:

Greg Tucker lives in Robards, KY. (not far from Henderson)  Last night
between 7 and 9:30 PM, someone broke into his garage and stole his 2007 KTM
300.  This bike is tricked out with one orange wheel, one black one.  THe
numbers are 007 and have his name on the side plates.  The bike has an
orange GPR dampner, a recluse, and every other gadget imaginable.  If you
see this bike, or someone who looks (out of place) on a bike like this.  Get
thier license plate #.  Call the police and call Greg @ 812-453-8129.  Relay
this message to everyone you know who rides or knows anything about bikes.
This bike will turn up riding somewhere or for sale.  Keep your eyes open.
Thanks.

I think OWNER says it all...low guys on the pole have to stay and
work.

A lot of bike shops are closed on Sunday and Monday, so someone would have
to cut their work week short one day to attend a Saturday race. Its pretty easy
  to get the time of if your the owner of the shop and have other employees...
  Just my two cents...

I'm happy either way but I hate getting home late on a Sunday night
and have to be at work 5am the next morning.

I'm all for mixing up the schedule...I think it's a great way to please both
people who like Sat. Races and those who like Sun. races!!

I know there'll never be a schedule that
will please all of the people, all of the time. But maybe a middle
ground could be reached - some races on Saturday and some on Sunday.

Not only do we have to miss church but the farther the races are away,
the later we get on on Sundays and a lot of stuff goes undone because
we have to go back to work (and school) on Monday morning.

There are valid arguments for both days.

No to Sat. races . Think about how many ppl work in bike shops. No way
I could be off 2 days for the far off races. Getting to some of the
Sunday races is bad enough.

Marc and I both work on Saturdays and it would be impossible to take of
for every race.
