Man, I've been snake-bit twice in a row at JRM. The quad wars suck. The rain sucked. The fact that they took 45 minutes to figure out how to get the lights to work, starting at 7:45 sucked. And opening the first beer of the night at 11:00 sucked.
And crashing from a top 3 for the second time in as many races sucked pretty hard too.
But hanging out was cool. Had a couple good heat races.
The Vintage class had to be a record turn out, 12 or 13 bikes including lots of new guys. Should be some good racing if they keep getting those numbers. And for anybody that has a spare vintage bike in the garage, this is the time to get into it. They'll probably split the class if enough guys show up, whether it's lights/heavies, master/amateur or whatever, you'll have a good chance of being competitive pretty quickly. There were several singles out there, 2 & 4 stroke as well as a couple twins including a Guzzi, a Triumph and Kevin on his Yamaha. I think the cutoff year for this is 1980. Dunlop K180's are the popular tire 'cause they're an 18" rear and 19" front which is a common size for lots of vintage bikes/wheels.
