2012 racing begins

[Lloyd Boland]

Okay, you So Cal guys and gals, 01/08/12 racing begins at Comp Edge with last year's awards being presented after the race.
 
Garrett you still around? I haven't heard from you in awhile.

Hope to see some of you I haven't seen for awhile.

Happy holidays and make sure Santa brings you a new set of tires for 2012.

I now have all the motivation I need to race again in 2012.

One word - UNADILLA !

[brian kirby]

I'm seriously considering Unadilla for '12.

I heard a rumor Bob Wardlow may dust off a bike to make an appearance as well

Unadilla for 12? Are we talking GNCC? It would be cool for a vintage ride there. Thats close to home for me.

AHRMA is going to have a National at Unadilla in '12, CC, VMX and PVMX.

I'll have to make the trip to Unadilla just to see Bawb. Haven't seen him in a while.

Lew - you talking to me?  

Wow - pretty cool.  And of course for me it would be like backyard cool.   Interesting to see which MX track they use  - National or Amateur. Gravity Cavity, anyone?

Brian - it would be great to cross paths with you for a weekend.  Please - drink all my beer.  Before we race. []

Guess I better head over to the AHRMA site for the latest, huh?

[Dale Sonnenschein]

They had some vintage races there before and I think they ran the pro track.

Actually, I meant Bob Wardlow but it would be good to see you, as well, Bob.  Maybe your new home will be in order by then.

I can only make 4 long distance/long weekend trips for '12 and three of them are already assigned to the ISDT series. I have the choice of Diamond Don's, Mid-Ohio, or now this Unadilla race. I've already been to DD's so I'd say its ranked third. In spite of my bad mouthing Mid-O, I have always wanted to make a trip just because. And of course, Unadilla is a track I've always wanted to race at, having raced at Saddleback and Carlsbad, I need to add Unadilla to that list of legendary US tracks.

I have ridden the pro and amateur tracks for their GNCC. Not the whole track at once but on and off a few times a lap. They use gravity cavity every year. They run it backwards every other year. It would be a blast to run the whole track!!

I have just heard that the Rose City Mich 2 Day ISDT VQ has been cancelled for 2012.  Lynn Burton, Chicago Jerry, and myself are working to get a new venue with the Meridian Motorcycle club, Meridian Ms. Sandy soil, Hills and trails. Will probably be a 3 loop affair on Saturday with pitting at the Parc Ferme area / campground. Probably a 2 loop Sunday with a final MX in the Sand Pit. Planning is still in the works but the club is excited to work with AHRMA on this. I recommended that the club members go buy a couple Kawasaki KE100s if they don't have a vintage bike and use them to setup the course. If they can enjoy riding the KE100 (Same as old G4,G5)which is basically a 35 year old design, they have the trail right. I hope to hear more soon. Hopefully a date. Maybe they will exchange times with the Ark. Dirt Riders so they are not on the same weekend as the Nat'l Enduro in La. Brian will like that he doesn't have to travel so far to ride. LOL

[brian kirby]

I'm sorry the Michigan race was called off, I was looking forward to going there since I had to miss it this year, but it does work out a lot better for me, Meridian is only 4 hrs away. That means I only have to use two of my long distance weekends for the ISDT series. I'd say Unadilla is my first choice, then its between Diamond Don's and Mid-O for the last one. I've been to DD's already so I guess I should go to Mid-Ohio.

[Bob Bean]

Sorry to hear Rose City is out.  Since it is only 4-5 hours away it would have been one I could have made.  DD too far for me as well. Definately have to go to VMD
Would love to go to Unadilla, but again distance is a killer.
