I did the ride a few years back, it was a lot of fun and reminds you how slow you are compared to the pro's. Ty Davis went past me like I was standing still and I had my 250 pinned in 5th!!!! All around a good time. Great group of people and there's nothing like watching a 300+lbs guy in an Elvis outfit jumping the "Mud Hole" on a 4x4 quad!!!!! :2purples:

Haha..definatley....Man..I love the costumes that people dress up in...last year a guy dressed like Jack "jack in the box" I thought it was great. I haven't raced this in like 5 year's...I did it for 6 year's straight. Now I just watch my buddy Ryan Dudek Give Ty a run for his money...I have a few other peeps who race it as well. Good times all around.

Raced in that a few times way back in the day when it was first started.
They would have a LeMan's (sp?)start.You would have to run across the street and then start your bike and take off. On every lap they would run you thru town on city street's then into the desert. Do they still race thru down town? I'm thinkin that was stoped long ago. It was a great race and lot' of fun. I think i'll try and make it!

Adelanto GP was my first ever Mo-Cycle race back in 1986...What an awesome weekend experience for an entire family. It gets bigger every year. This year DVMC is paying $100/person to work it because they have soo many entries. The race has changed (politically = $$$) in the last several years. It used to be an AMA / D-37 sanctioned race but the AMA pulled out. Then Casey Folks (BITD) ran it for a couple years. And now, DVMC does it solo and it's a no points race.
The Jack in the Box dude has been racing since I can remember. Elvis always makes an apperance. Chicken suits, beer can mohawk-helmets, superman capes, afros, horns, dogs-on-tanks,...you name it...you'll see it there. About 10 years ago, there was a guy racing an ezgo golf cart w/a 1200cc street bike motor with huge travel...nucking futz.
My dad and I hit it up every year, racing or not. One of the best memories I have in racing was at Adelanto. 1989...My dad and I raced together for the first and only time (he went down hard in the unclassified race...still fun for that first lap).
Unfortunatley, we won't make it this year. My son just spent a few days in the hospital last week (he's all good now) and I'm playing catch up with the family & home projects.
Here's an OLD pic at the GP...
