Anyone from the PNW race the Funky Chicken??

[Rick]

Looked extremely dry and dusty......by the videos comimg in from Instragram from AMAWHS.......

My 15 year old kid raced on Sunday and finished 12th. Extremely dusty and he said Monster downhills. We had a couple 30 year olds in our group that quit. They said it was just to hard. Proud that the kid pushed thru it an finished.
Great turn out this year.

Good to hear he finished and was still riding by the looks of the dust.
I raced the FC in 2013 and it was really dusty as well. I would like to race it again only with not so much dust...a little rain would be nice a few days before hand!

Yes rain a couple day's before. I heard war stories about the years it has rained. Almost unrideable.

Wat?
12th overall?

 

[Phaeton]

No 12th in his class. 250B He has only been riding 2 years. He has a ways to go. He is currently second in the OMRA XC series though.

That new 250 class is a wierd class the OMRA has made.
Be interesting to see how that plays out.

Id like to see e1, e2 and e3 classes in all offroad racing.And leave it at that.
You could go Ex and Am if you had to make the people happy.

We are racing right?

 

[Phaeton]

The classes from state to state are weird. It would be nice if there was one system for all states. The out of state riders in his class were much faster than the Oregon boys. Seems 250 am should be racing 250c but they had them in 250b Not that he cares he just wants to ride, race and learn.

Oregon boys? Really!
Lets see an Oregon boy took 2nd overall in the pro class.Its a national, the kid hadnt been on a bike in months and rode a loaner.Reid Brown just took 3rd OA e3 LOI riders atthe Boise qualifier and is headed to the ISDE.This is a guy who hardly races anymore and has a day job.
Jamie Wells an Oregon girl was just selected for the U.S womens Trophy team for this years ISDE after laying it down in Boise.
And Rory Sullivan owned the Funky Chicken National 3 years straight?

If you are talking about out if state sandbaggers beating up on the local amatuer class.
Thats not a new development.

All those sandbaggers must be from WA...right?

 

[Phaeton]

You forgot Zeke who won the 65cc WHS Title.

 

[gasgasxc]

D 36
Just wat I heard.

250b,c, d &f does it matter.
Nope

And yeah.
Same kid that DNF ed Clarks Branch last year and got a rule change from the OMRA to get points even though kids in the same class were able to finish, but they were not OMRA series riders.I think they call it the 50% rule or something.

It isnt the kids that are the problem.
Its a Little League thing.

As far as the WHS goes.Awesome job.Its pretty legit.I think he was in the top 3 every round.
