vintage turn out at Road Atlanta sucked this weekend.

WTH? where is everyone?

...also, my Northern buddy Bucky should get some kind of MVP award for the amount of miles he puts in to go race....drives 700 hours, sleeps in a van, kicks local butt and goes home with their trophies. 'dude is hard core. :up:

 

. I can actually make it for a day to go racing, but no time this summer for working on bikes.
I have all of my new parts to put my F500 and V6Lw/V5 bikes together. Still working on the foreclosure we bought. Next year I'm doing a full schedule with WERA and a couple of Ahrma rounds...hold on keep racing!
I did get the V1/2 bike back together. I may be able to make the GNF.

 

That sucks. I'd hate to see vintage go the way of endurance. But it looks like it is getting closer and closer to being an all ahrma type thing.

 

Being held on Fri didn't help some people, I'm sure.

 

^ yep, that crossed my mind as well.

 

Need a like button for that. Kris Larrivee needs an award as well, I believe he has been to every vintage round held in the SE this year and he is driving down from northern Virginia or somewhere.

Some of the vintage championships are quite close and are going to result in some tight racing for all the marbles at the GNF.

 

Still fun to get out and race some....can not believe the people that could race don't .....get out and have fun while you still can ride , soon you will be ...........................

 

"...no reason to go race...", that's probably the saddest thing i've ever read on the internet. ever. lol

'ain't sayin' it ain't true, just sayin' it's sad. but then....I'll show up to a parking lot for the chance of beating the sh@t out of a buddy on mini bike just about any time....i don't need much more reason than that. :up:

 

So Right......to many old wusses out there that talk crap but find a reason not to show....

 

If I could, I would have been there.

 

The V5 championship plaque will suffice.

 

Seems there was a decent turn out in the two classes where a relatively stock motorcycle with stock engine and frame can compete. V1-4, not so much.

 

That you will have to earn, my friend.

 

I didn't get to run a single V5 race this year, so I guess the race win will have to suffice for me...

 

Kris and I (along with his ever reliable EX500) have managed to keep each other from reaching that limit.

Don't know about the others but the V classes are formula rules, aren't they?

We had a good turn out in V6LW, several new people out there on some FZRs. Welcome to the party! :up:

 

Thought you had to run a class to compete in it at the GNF?

 

Bowie on the Super Duc and a smoky Seca didn't help either.

 

Maybe the point calculation criteria should be revisited, go back to 5 or 6 races that count toward the national. I would love that, Kris would not.

LOL, we have both been impacted by such events so we can call that a draw. You have 65 points, I have 69. Guess I'll buy some new tires and get my game ready.
