Site Lap: Gearing Up!January 25, 2013As the snow flies here in my base camp located in south easter Ohio I am left with dreams of finer things....well at least warmer temperatures if nothing else. Many have made the trek south to Florida, Texas, Alabama and various other warmer and milder winter weather areas and the 2013 season is all but underway.
Site Lap:Signs of LifeJanuary 18, 2013Nine weeks and counting the way I look at the calendar until we roll into Aonia Pass Motocross in Washington Georgia for the opening round of the 2013 AMA ATV MX Nationals. Saying that now it seems so far away but in about eight weeks we will be asking ourselves, where did the time go? One answer may be, prepping, tuning and training for the 2013 season.
Site Lap: The Waiting GameJanuary 12, 20132013 is in full swing and with the way the weather patterns have been here in Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania makes one feel the season approaching even more. Though it is still several weeks away the urge to get it going is nearly overwhelming.
Site Lap:Farewell Old FriendDecember 28, 20122012 has truly been a year to remember. And as close to the situation as we may be, it may take some time to realize what the past 12 months has dealt in every aspect of our lives. There have been trials and tribulations. There have been commitments and sacrifices and there has been sadness and joy.
Site Lap: Merry Christmas!December 21, 2012Only a few days away from Christmas and folks are beginning to congregate for this festive time of the year. Many have stepped off the fast track for a few days and soon after the Holiday there will be lots of action on the highways headed south to Texas, Alabama, North Carolina and Florida to begin training for the 2013 season.
Site lap: Quiet Times / Busy TimesDecember 14, 2012As 2012 winds down and the excitement of 2013 builds it may be hard for some to slow down long enough to enjoy Christmas and all it brings. Amazingly though it seems most of do slow down for that one special day for a few hours before looking forward to what's to come and rolling south to begin their training for the winter.
Site Lap: Looking Forward!December 7, 2012Welcome back to Site Lap! It has really been a busy time for me lately with Thanksgiving, the awards banquet and of course the approaching Christmas celebration. As hard as it is to believe the 2013 season will be here and finally the schedule has been released.
Site Lap: Changes Comin' OnNovember 9, 2012Only two weeks to go and the ATV Racin' Nation will reunite for a Night of Champions in the magnificent Waterfront Place Hotel in Morgantown, West Virginia. The top ten in each class of America's premier amateur ATV motocross championship will be honor and recognized before their family, friends, sponsors and fans. If you have yet to finalize your plans, don't wait too much longer for the special room rates.
Site Lap: Ready to RoarNovember 2, 2012The 2012-2013 off-season continues to roll on and more and more rumbles are starting to be heard from the trenches. There are a number of positive things that are being leaked and amazingly I have not heard much negative to this point. This is good and the general consensus seems to be, "Bring on the new season!"
Site Lap: Rumbles From The JungleOctober 28, 2012The silly season rumors have been flying and will continue to fly right up to round 1 in 2013. The bright
news this week is that we are starting to hear some concrete news from a few individuals and have
actually spotted some out and about as well.
Site Lap: Keeping Up The SilenceOctober 12, 2012The long off-season just seems to get longer and it has really only just begun. The quietness of this time of year is almost eerie. (I guess with Halloween approaching that fits). The little tidbits that seem to come our way are truly that, little tidbits. Not much being said and everyone is waiting to make decisions and or let the cat out of the bag about what is coming up.
Site Lap: What A Women Class!September 28, 2012The level of competition in ATV Motocross is elevating more and more each season. This past season was certainly no exception. The last few weeks we have broken down the class champions in each class. The reason for this is to give some props to some that may seem to get overlooked in the grand scheme of things. And it gives us an opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the ATVMX Top Guns before we head to the banquet in November. The youth and amateur are of course our core in the ATV Racin' Nation and it is nice to take a look at the future crop of talent working its way through the ranks.
