Keefer third and Barry Carsten fourth!
It's impossible for a corporation or government to love you or care about you.
What I think is kind of funny is that 7 out of the top 10 (8 if Keefer is riding a 17) are riding bikes with a kick starter. I thought I read on here somewhere electric starts were for vet riders....
What I found amazing was that there were a lot of fast guys in 40+, but supermini 2 which ran the very next moto (so similar track conditions), ran faster lap times. Even great riders get old and slow.
Edited Date/Time:
I am pretty sure they cleaned up the track a little before the Supermini moto, not a full intermission but they had the tractors out in the corners on the web stream. 40+ was the 4th moto, and Supermini was 9th, they went right after the 30+ guys but I believe the rules for the class are different for entry.
But yeah Supermini was hauling ass, probably train harder too.
They were running faster than 30+ also. Matusek, the winner of 30+ would have been battling for 6th or 7th in supermini based only on lap times.
40+ has past champs, but I don't think you can ride 30+ if you scored pro points or something like that so I would think some 40 plussers might be faster but they are getting old. Grewe is 51!
I am not discrediting the Supermini, they are the kids that are one step from the pro riding 170lb bikes that are probably every bit as fast as a 250f...

I would say Kevin Foley or Kevin Walker has them covered at this point. Robbie Neely has several also.
Take it to the limit, one more time!

Kevin Walker has 13 vet titles, Kevin Foley has 8 vet titles and 2 A class titles for 10 total, Doug Dubach has 9 vet titles and John Grewe has 5 will probably add 1 more this year.

Is Grewe the same guy who used to be a tester for Cycle World (I think it was) back in the day?

Any way to watch 40+ race? Can't find it on RacerTV.

Pretty sure. I thought he was like 60, but heard them say he's only 51.
