Who's racing the Mid Ohio cross country event?  I'm in vintage 250-B (Harescrambler) and Jarrin's in post-vintage 200-B (MC-5 175).

Hey "Champaign Gary", Jarrin says he's not worried, he says he say you break down last year! [}:)]

In what other sport can you have a young man in high school and a veteran rider vying for the same trophy.....I swear it doesn't get any better.
I may be riding a green 400..otherwise the usual 250GS

Brian, maybe Sunday only.  Saturday is the first round of the Indiana High School girls state golf tournament, and I'm the coach (I guess I better be there!)  However,  no throw-down challenges from me; the older I get the faster I was and the present is still in doubt!

I'm planning on running Vintage 200 with the Six Day and Post Vintage 250 with my MC5.  

And then drink LOTS of beer to heal thyself.

Just looked on the website and realized that I'm too late for the AMA discount for the weekend pass.  THAT sucks.

Getting slightly excited.  I think I've got the carb (low end) buggaboo figured out on the Six Day - thanks Mr. Ellis.  She is clean, clean, clean down low and pulling hard.  Some detailing and bolt tightening and she's good to go. BTW - love the new Renthal mini-Hi's on this bike.  Wow, what was I thinking?  Next up - MC5 preps.  

Gary -bring the Jackpiner just in case.  Or just in case I want to do a test ride. :D

AND a big thank you to another POGGER (and his wife - who actually deserves most of the credit) who has made a hotel room available that is much closer than my current Wooster Super 8.  Like close enough that I can go watch the vintage dirt track on Friday night - something I've never seen yet.  I probably won't be able stand up straight after Friday's racing, but...well...that's what beer and Ibuprofen are for.

Yep, definitely getting slightly excited.

I signed up yesterday, final day for online pre-registration is today, I think (15th). I can tell you that  - as of yesterday, the pre-reg was pretty light.  I was third sign-up in 200 Vint B/C (none in A) and third or fourth sign-up in PV 250 B/C (none in A).  Skipped last year and can't remember 2010 pre-reg (which you can view with this current website that the AMA uses).

Sorry but I will not race Mid Ohio even if I could.  The AMA stole Vintage Days from AHRMA.  The AMA Vintage nationals are a joke with no rule enforcement.  Ride for fun if you like but with the crap that the AMA has been doing the last few years against AHRMA and now the HOF contraversy, I think I will wait till the AMA gets their act together and quit crapping on their long time supporters. They need to operate as a non profit organization instead of a for profit company.

All I do is "race for the fun of it" anyway. This will be my 4th year, I have always enjoyed VMDs. So let the good times roll!!!

Well, cross country didn't go too well for the "Limb Lickers Enduro Team".  Both Jarrin and I got 4th, but I slipped off the trail, hit a marker stake, and got an ambulance ride and 18 stitches!  Doing fine, just kind of embarrasing cuz its not a great crash story!
