I understood and I read your article, I was just referring to next year because WE won't be racing any BITD events until then. No serious rivalry either, we just race because we enjoy it, win or lose.
Some interesting info I thought I might pass on to you about the Whiplash series in AZ. Whiplash is looking to increase the length of their races to 200+ miles each. You can Iron Man or race as a team. A new Grand Prix series will also be introduced in 2004. I know you guys live to far away to race Whiplash now, but thought you might be interested in the info.
Hey Jeff, great news about Whiplash, thanks for the info. We will be doin a few select races as well.Nothing serious though but just having fun. Dont think we will be doing a full season with any particular race series though. That may change if we get some sponsership but now its just a few guys going out to the desert. Was planning on the Parker race but my riding partner wants to do the Las Vegas 200 so maybe will do both [img]images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]. He just posted on here as desertratt. I really want to do the Baja 500 next year so that will be the focus after the LV200. I think the bottom line is we just really enjoy desert racing. Great group of people in the sport.

Hey Dean this is Mitch Canepa. Come look me up at the next NDRA race. We will also be at the night race this saturday. I will be on my little red rocket with the number 10c on it. Dont forget to come and race the 2003 Searchlight GP. first year for quads but lots of fun. Not your same old whooped out over run race course. Later.... [img]images/graemlins/RockOn.gif[/img]
Mitch,this is Dean's son. If you haven't heard yet we have moved to Oregon. I doubt we will come all the way down just for an NDRA race. Especially after the last one of Terrys courses. Wouldn't reccommend them to beginner quad riders even though thats what his races are supposed to be geared to, beginners.
