2022 edition of 24 hours of Starvation Ridge October 29 & 30

The rock sections don't require any special tires, just watch for the big ones, hopefully they paint them orange again this year.

Hey guys. It's quiet here. How prepared (unprepared) is everybody? What about generators/numbers/etc.?

This is the week that I am supposed to be packing the van and installing the lighting on the bike. But I am a few days behind schedule. Just fixed a cylinder 2 misfire on the van and this weekend I am hoping to install a better interior heater before all the winter travels.

How is the race course? Are there many trees/bushes that would require wraparound handguards? I have them on one of the bikes, but I was planning to use the other bike for this race that has simple OEM Husky plastic handguards.

This is a pretty good video that shows a lot of the course, terrain, etc. Very open mostly. You can see how the riders get spread out fairly quickly, not unusual to be riding alone for miles. Fun in the middle of the night, like where the hell is everyone? Lol.

How tough are the rocky sections? Do I need any special tires for them not to crash hard?

Not bad, I don't use special tires and it is fine. We are talking dirt with rocks in it, not a rock field you have to go through

I gave you your old team number 173C

My racing number is 163. If you guys have some white and black tape, I can easily fix my number to read 173c !!!

The actual address for the pits is 1140 Niva Rd, Centerville, WA 98613. If you put that in google maps it will show a little south of the pits. The pits are up by the pond and if you look at the satellite view you can see an outline of the camping/pit area up by Niva RD

Google Maps gives the directions to 1140 Niva Rd, Centerville, WA 98613 perfectly!

I have a roll of electrical tape, is that close enough?

Yep, that will get you there, the pit area lanes are easily visible in that shot, and our spot is almost the exact center of the pits.

I think have found some white vinyl wrap and black electrical tape. Thank you.

Race coordinator said we only need one transponder for the team so if @Jared can find his, we are good. If not the transponder is only $5 so not a big deal.

Good luck this weekend boys! Weather looks pretty good. Looking forward to hearing how it went and some pics. Keep safe! -Ed

I am almost there!

Super happy about the weather. Portland is just 100 miles away, and it is raining cats and dogs there the entire week!

 

[Redwolf]

And we have the beginnings of our pit setup

Looks like hero dirt. Sweet.

Looks like hero dirt. Sweet.

Yep, just damp enough to keep the dust down but traction should be awesome!

Too bad you aren't here to join us.

 

[bluefxstc]

Race day. Light mist falling so hopefully it will help keep the dust down. Going to be a great day.

 

[bluefxstc]

Race is on!
