Looks like it from Live Timing. It said two classes were on the track, together, as expected, but gave laps and times for thirty +45 and twenty +50 racers. I think it is cool they (maybe) did double row starts(?)

They've always double gated the +50 with another class, it's never a full group.

Because they don't let as many +50 guys qualify. They would have a full gate of +50 is they would let them. They had a limit on how many could qualify this year

I was going for the 50+ class and didn't make it.

And I understood it would only be 12 in the 50+ class, combined with the 45+ for a total gate of 42 racers, so I am happy they let in 20.

Just surprised, is all. Maybe next year!Smile

I don't know if you raced amateur day at millville this year but we had maybe 35 or so on the line in the +50/60 class. 19 of us were +50. That is the biggest gate i have been on for 20 years i think! It was actually a tough race, lots of very serious guys from all over the country and Canada.

No, some bonehead, on a Kaw, in Thursdays Vet practice, center punched my foot, so I missed racing.

I was pretty sure it was broken, but Friday night Dr.Samani, checked it out. Just now starting to race again....big puss with pain!
