;)It's true. Some of these kids are really fast. And i gotta say; at the end of the day, after you've been dusted by this during practice: If you are still worked up & angry... you just might have some serious emotional issues to work on. ;D ;D ;D

Any video at all? Its interesting all this. For the first time we have a young un racing in the Bsso. Slowly it dawned that we would have 11 year olds racing at 95mph. And it caused a lot of grief. Its hopefully been sorted now.

:-XA friend of ours was filming from the hot pits right next to the really sharp right hander at the end of the front straight. I think this is during the practice or heats in the morning...? It is some footage of us riding w/ some other kinds of bikes & some of them happen to be kids. By no means high end or greatly impressive footage, but for the purposes of showing kids riding w/ us... ;DHere ya go: We are planning on having some on board cams here in the next couple months.

Thanks Tony. I'd like that. And - yeah. I've seen that footage more than a few times ;D. That track is lovely, and Charlie makes my brain hurt. On the note of big tracks - We may have just breached the large track access for a local event at PIR here in Oregon. It's really only in the last few months that we seem to register on their radar. The AHMRA (American Historical Motorcycle Racing Assoc.) has approached us about a slot during their event here in May. They've been shutting us out for the last 10+ years, but there has been a change in management, so this may be an opportunity for us. Yeah, time will tell, but the chance to ride a full size track is a whole different ballgame for sure. If the chance presents itself, we have every intent of jumping on that. We should know in about 3 weeks. Another track to work into our season is okay by me! In the mean time, I just want more bodies for the track! The more the merrier.

Thats great news Paddy. Once you get crowds watching you interest rises and the sport will grow. We race with the Vinatge Motor Cylce club here. Some of those old bikes are mad things. Very very fast indeed. You'll have to gear up eh!

Noride - that footage of Peter Lenz is at one of the tracks we use, but run in reverse. The Mac track. They stopped running the track that direction for runoff/safety reasons. I've always wanted to run it like that... Thanks for the footage though. Very smooth, that kid!
