    Who might come up with the victory in the upcoming Formula
    500 at Barber? Mark M, riding his old-but-new championship 350?
    Bob "The Doctor" Macauley, on his tricked out 400? Could it be
    50 Joe on a mystery ride? Bob Weber? perhaps a Triumph?
    Will we see any fast new riders?

    Not a champ..maybe a chump

    Thanks for the introduction Scott....:D Ok so maybe I am a second tier rider, but I do plan to join the evil 2 stroke hordes as we decend on Barber for F-500. That is IF I get a motor together. Hopefully, we can end up with a full grid, and have some great racing. See you all there.

    RZ Racer It passed tech LAST time!

    Stauber might make it as well. Providing we can excorcise the demons in his bike before then.

    Can't Wait!!:cool:

    Demons have an extremely high BMEP, low BTUS/lb for good cooling, and a very bad attitude. I always keep a few in the spares box for emergencies...

    Why Mr. Spargo! Might you join in at Barber for the shootout in
    Formula 500??? As for me, why, I will have one of the best seats in the house, errr...ummmm...watching the race unfold in front of me and encouraging the race leaders as they go past!!

    It would be sweet indeed to see a Formula 500 grid full of DEMONIC 2-STROKES!!!

    Are you talking about the bikes or the riders?

    lizard84 My “fuck it” list is lengthy

    We had 7 bikes in F500 at Roebling, not a bad size class at all but this is shaping up to be a record F500 turnout.

    I'd like to do well of course but that little Triumph goes well anywhere, I look for Tim to do very well.

    Didn't realize you're way out there...but think of all the races you could take in on your way home!!! Would be nice to have ya come on down, enjoy Southern hospitality and sunshine...
    we'd like to see that 70 plus horsepower you've got put to use...

    THIS IS MAKING IT VERY HARD TO LEAVE THE HONDA IN THE HANGER...

    charles The Transporter

    Oh Buff, glad to hear from you! Bring that HONDA out... of course, no one would say anything if you kept it in the hanger, given
    the potent demonic 2-strokes showing up for this race...it is always peachy to have a real old "vintage" bike like yours on the grid, no matter what shape it's in...
