Off Road Cup FMHSC Team identification

OK Boys and Girls... the ORC is happening in 5 days and a suggestion has been tossed around amongst some of the FM teams of a way to ID all of us to eachother while out on the course.

The easiest solution everyone came up with was a length of certain colored ribbon attached to the back of our chest protectors, Camelbak, pink thong with sparkles on it :shock: , whatever works, so the ribbon can be seen by Racers passing or being passed.

This is a simple way for us to help and support eachother against the other Series.

I scored a roll of Blaze Orange Construction ribbon from an Observed Trials coworker of mine last week and will leave a 3 foot length per Team rider on all pre-reserved pit signs with the FMHSC logo on it. if anyone need more or registered late, the ribbon will be at the Team Arcs, Sparks, and MHz pit ziptied to our canopy, hopefully some of Kennys' rock-hopping MoJo will be infused in it 8) .

This is not my idea, but I think its a good one to help us help eachother :wink: .

I'll be flying the "TEAM FMHSC" colors Tim. I'm thinking that the way I eject plastic I'll tie something on each piece so I know I'm covered all day! IT's gonna be way too cool!
LETS DO THIS!!! :wink:

Thanks for bringing us all together as an FMHSC family, Tim! I'll be sure to give a friendly "Whoop!" for all FMHSC racers out on the trail as motivation.

Get revved up, last year FMHSC did not fare so well. The top FMHSC Team (Heavy D's Exhaust Repair of Everhart, Hartman, and Hartman) finished 20th overall. And out of the 15 classes, we only 1 class win (B+35) and 4 teams on the podium (2 of which were from the B+35 Class). So, some room for improvement in results from last year. Lets get out there and have some fun!

Tim...I like it!

Looks like updated "event details" were just posted.

I plan to be there mid-afternoon Friday and plan to set-up camp and my pit then. Any idea how far we will be transporting our stuff from camping area to the pits? Looks like "no vehicles" what-so-ever in the pit area. Gibber told me it would be a good idea to bring a 4 wheeler or something to transport pit stuff. I don't have one to bring but my wife is coming to help. I may look to briefly borrow a 4 wheeler or gator if anyone would be willing? More concerned with the tear down and transport afterwards if it is very far. I'm going to be dead after this thing. But, I can't wait!

Chad, we will have a little wagon to transport stuff, I'm sure you could borrow it. Our group is looking to get down there around 7-7:30ish. Since you are solo-ing it, I'm sure there will be plenty of people willing to help you carry it all out.

Hi All! Excited so many from your series are making the trip this year! It's going to be a good time!!!!

Remember to come to signup as soon as you possibly can! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! The more we get done Friday evening, the smoother things will run for everyone on Saturday!

Everyone is pretty good about helping each other out...my husband is usually running around on a green Ranger & will happily transport chairs, tool boxes, gas cans & pretty girls.

See y'all there!!!!! Whoop Whoop!!!!

We will be there around 2 and Dave Johnson was planning on putting his 4 wheeler on the trailer...it can be a couple hundred yard haul depending on where your pit and camper end up but last year the day before everyone was willing to help out!!
