For those who havent raced with us, we are a bunch of people out for a good time, from age 14-48 from beginner to veteran, racing for plaques. This is not cut throat racing, and contact is to be avoided (but prepared for). Accidents and mistakes happen, but deliberate crashing of other racers will get you booted. We will have at least a 3 wheeler A and B class with 10-15 racers in each class, possibly a 3rd class depending on attendance. Practice for big quads (which includes us) runs PROMPTLY 8:00-8:15. At 8:15 our practice is over. Typically the track is very muddy for practice, rutted and tacky for first moto, and dryer and faster moving 2nd moto. Many travelers stay at motel 6 on rt 18 in Medina. Any of the OTC people will be happy to help you out, and make you feel welcome. Its costs $10 to get in the gate, and $25 per class to race. Track requires boots that cover the ankle, eye protection, long sleeves, and long pants, and of course a helmet. You need at least a rear grab bar number plate. More are better. They also require a tether kill switch, but its not enforced at this track. Racers are prohibited from consuming alcohol before racing and all these tracks take this one seriously, folks! This includes people operating pit bikes in the parking area or anything else that is motorized. There is no pit riding at any tracks, other than idling around in low gear as is necessary. This a family activity, and there are as many children as adults at these events so please mind your f-bombs within earshot of children. If you have any questions feel free to email me.
Classes or pretty much based on where one typically finishes, so most new guys tend to start in "B" class, regardless of what they are riding, though occasionally some start in "A" class. (Keep in mind many places only have one trike class) Its been customary that once a rider wins "B" class (unless its due to a series of freak accidents and not his ability) he then moves on to "A" class.
I need to get an accurrate list of who is coming for sure, and what they are riding, to see if we have enough for a 3rd class, and to determine what it should be. Please cut and past the MOST RECENT posting of this list, and add your name to it.
250 pinger or 350X "A" class
