Surprised that Racer X or Vital has not given (yet) this some more exposure
It was a very cool event, J. Stanton was just ripping on the Maico, that bike sounded so crisp
Now I got the itch to find a nice old smoker and participate next year
Lesson learned : don't need $9k bike to have fun
The Shop
Already looking at a decent base but no matter what dealing with the unknown of buying old bikes, the parts $ climbs quickly, even assuming I'll do most of the work.
Today's market is just non sense, by lack of better words.

Seems two clean bikes, but one has been through 12 years of "abuse" vs 3 for the other one
I guess this one settles the discussion on value vs age

Need to pay the price to be different!
Pit Row
I was surprised that they ran 2 motos. Prolly due to the low turn out.
Observations, in no certain order:
This event will grow. No doubt. The track was primo. The competition not so much.
I would say that at best, 25% of the competitors that day were racing the track (I am being generous here). The rest were just riding it. I think fun was had by all.
Too many classes to pack into a day of racing, with practice, qualifiers & main events. Especially if forty riders try to qualify for the mains in each class. This was not an issue with the poor turn out of the inaugural event.
Should have got the word out earlier. Probably one reason for the low turn out.
I did not see, but I heard the bike show had some nice machines, and some roaches. Overheard peeps talking about drilled fenders & zip ties.
I watched Jeff Stanton in several motos. In a few races, he refused to put people a lap down while he was waxing the competition. Probably due to cutting the slowies race by one lap. Classy.
I will compete in 2020...
