Here are the classes from my original thread below:
"Vintage" (Pre 1976)
"Post Vintage" (Post 1975 bikes with front and rear drum brakes)
"Pre Modern" (Pre 1990)
There will be trophies for each class.
There is no breakdown in CC's at this point. Rules would be to have a bike in one of these classes, run it and have fun. There won't be any tech. Just low key fun. Race as hard as you can or trail ride the loop. Vintage classes go through all the checks and only stop or slow down at the start/stop to get scored. It usually runs one hour plus one lap.

I like it. Simple classes, but they hit the main critical technology points.

Wow. That's pretty cool. Huge schedule, it will be interesting to see what the turn-out typically is, but ya gotta wonder if a few of these NETRA guys might be shopping for bikes for the Saturday race. I might have missed it, but what time would these races start on Saturday? If it is afternoon, I will find a lot more motivation for the drive - which will typically at least 3 hours one way, and probably 4 most of the time. Good thing they didn't (appear to) schedule for same day as The Big One (Unadilla AHRMA).

Hey Bob,

Yes, they did take the big races in consideration in making the schedule!  This year, the races were around 3ish on Saturday afternoon.  Most of the races were held after one of the junior events that ran in the morning.  Some of the 2015 events are the day before the modern bikes, so, if you like, you can stay over and race again on a more demanding course.............
