Outta Control, Manimal, SPD RACER, and secn8ure was over this past weekend bench racing the days of Prairie City . Since secn8ure began racing after that “era”, I promised I’d upload some video and post ‘em on youtube. (Note: I edited these with some free software 5 years ago on a slow ass PC, so be nice.) bahahaa

Barfers # on vid: eddiemcrider (#50), weaklink (#68), SPD RACER (#49), reyefumi (#48), and OuttaControl (#46)

Josh Herrin was the token “FAST KID” back in the day. It’s great to know he has an AMA ride with Graves Yamaha in 2007.

Enjoy

Cool vids. Brings back some memories. I saw some current and retired AFM racers in that grid as well. Josh was totally spanking the whole field. If he ever wins an AMA title at least you have video proof that you used to race with him once. Ego Free Racing used to race with us at PC as well. Too bad akathisia and babarakus didn't make it in the vid.

I got some of Mr T and the akathasia somewhere... And Bro I'd post up racing with you and akathasia, but you have all those miniDVs.

It's still there.

The track is located at the entrance to Prarie City OHV. The track has a more diverse layout than Stockton with some elevation and a few layout options not to mention a couple of fast technical corners. The Sat. night scene was even better with group BBQ's and movies under the night sky. I watched FASTER for the first time there in a lawn chair w/ my beverage of choice. Being inside the OHV park the area is super mellow at night and peoples kids could roam about with no worries.

I got into the mini scene ther w/ my XR and then bought my 80 cc bike. At my first 80 cc race the promoter anounces that he will not be back for the next year. F-ed up to say the least. Got to thank Matt for offering another venue to play at as the market for RS80's can't be very good without a track to run on!!

I remember that people used to rent the track for the day to test and it was around $200 per day. Pretty much only on weekdays as the weekends are booked up by carts. If anyone knows the deal on this post it up as a ride day at P.C. would be all kinds of fun for everyone involved.

Brian, thanks for posting those pics! I see people I used to race with. There is a pic of my son, Nico when he used to race at PC. Priceless.

Cool. Thanks. One of the few times I was able to keep Paul (akathisia) behind me. No chance of doing that nowadays.
