    Thumbs up Calling the Mantis...

    Those AMA Pro Tour guys already know their rules. For the Amatuery Events on Saturday our friends from the Beaverdale Hillclimb will be taking care of rule enforcement. According to Risk Management these guys have their act together and know how to ensure a safe, yet fun event. Our idea of having Rocky the Race Clown from Black Rock Speedway handle it didn't fly well at the last Board meeting.

    Here is the general outline from Beaverdale containing the information you are required to follow.

    Show up on race day with your bike (ages 4 and up). Registration will be between 8AM to 9:45AM July 25. Get there early because registration will close exactly at 9:45AM!
    Enter a class or classes up to 3

    Bike must have:
    --Rounded clutch/brake lever ends
    --Functioning front brake
    --Tether kill switch. (available at race)
    --Rear fender must cover the center of the rear axel.

    ATV's Must Have
    -- Functioning front and rear brakes.
    -- Front bumpers must be of a tubular design no sharp protruding edges
    --Rounded clutch/brake lever ends
    --Tether kill switch. (available at race)

    You must have boots above the ankles, long sleeves and a helmet.

    We follow AMA rules very close but maintain OUTLAW status so if in the future we are AMA sanctioned it will be an easy transition.

    I stopped out there many years ago on the way home from Hillsville. No trikes allowed back then, as I had mine in the truck. The hill is easy to climb, and almost everybody made it, but the winners were determined by the time. They used a laser trip start to finish, kind of like an uphill drag race. Also, about halfway up was like a flat spot that amounted to a step jump. At that time Banshees ruled the quads.

    its not a technical hill, but might be hard just to keep everything headed in the same direction. Looks to be a little slick, easy to spin out. But if you could keep the right end headed forward you should be good.

    Wish we had a good climbing hill out here. Looks like fun to me!!
