RFL Sat. night - 31 & over cruiser open?

[JAlvey]

Since it is an old guy race it is a "no clips" event..... right? It should be.

Steve

I doubt I could even make it out of the gate anymore on flats. If we run no clips, then it should be open face helmets also.

[sspencer]

Steve, you know as well as I that changing it to a no-clips race would eliminate 80% of the potential racers.

Wusses!

If we run no clips, then it should be open face helmets also.

Heck yeah Justin! Break out all of the old school gear! My pants probably wont fit but I will try

Ok here is the official word from our TO

We can run the cruiser open. The following rules are part of it:
26 and over, 25 and under if there are enough sign ups
Race is Sat only
Sign up will be at registration on a special slip. Cost $3
Must be signed up for a regular 20" or cruiser class to race the open
Open will be run at the beginning of each round of motos- yes that means right before the cruiser motos. We cant change when its run.
2 round qualifier and then the mains
Winner will get the utahbmx.com t shirt
2nd and 3rd place will get rad canyon tshirts

Ok thems the rules guys, so get signed up on Sat.

Excellent!

Thanks Ron!

I'm in.

I wonder how many are going to be scared off because of the resting time between motos....... suck it up fools!

If you race Pro Am or 20", it ends up that way usually anyhow. We shouldn't let Dallas use that as an excuse....

Winner will get the utahbmx.com t shirt
2nd and 3rd place will get rad canyon tshirts

Mike Kelly should wear that UTBMX.com xl-tee quite nice & Matt Spencer & I are going to make those RC tee's look goooooood.

I heard a rumor of a bunch of old experts coming back to race the RFL.

(Tim Thompson)
(Cortney Green)

I will be there but not certain whether I want to race 20" or Cruiser.

For those who don't know these guys............

Tim Thompson, Super fast, super skilled. Another Kris Park, Mitch Ropelato type racer.

Courtney Green, Former #1 (94-95'ish) district. Turned A-Pro, then was a founder of the famous 39th street trails. Became an awesome trails rider. Left the scene due to injury & family life.


I'm sure both these guys, esp. Tim can still get in on on the track. That's the great thing about the RFL. Not only does it help out a good cause, it seems to bring out faces that you only see in a blue moon.
Rumor also has it that Dave Hoffman & Rich Hardy might make an appearance.

Tim still has what it takes to bake those cakes. He raced the indoor a few times a couple of years ago and he still rides his bike daily.

I heard Courtney still gets out once in a while and can still put on a flow-show so he wont be hurtin' much.

Bruce, when was the last time you raced two classes at one race? Might have to break out the time machine to figure that one out

Bruce -- I think he was talking about 1st-3rd in the MAIN, not the second moto...

LMAO!!!!!! Good one Steve.............

Now I must defend Bruce....... Steve you better be nice to B or he wont even show up to race, and he wont sign up for his own open!
And if anyone starts in with the short people jokes..........well I ll Ill ........Ill do something.......

Hey, 1983 called, they want their quotes back.



Alvey, your just too nice of a guy for you to get in the mud & start slinging it.


BTW, I think the last time I raced two classes was last year at all the No-Clips races. You know, the races that you have to ride on platform pedals & takes a very well-rounded rider to still compete on.

Hey, 1983 called, they want their quotes back.

... and it was you who called me Bruce
Like I said... break out the time machine.

I am making my predictions for the old guy cruiser open main:
1. Brandon Smith
2. Jason Melton
3. Jonas Harmon
4. tie - Justin Alvey
4. tie - Dallas Edwards
6. Beau Mahaffey
7. Bruce Ritter
8. Steve Spencer * DQ'd for cutting over on Bruce before the 30' mark.

There will be some great racing to get to the main but it wont be coming from me. Burnt my clutch out in Reno from running a little rich on Saturday night and now trying to blow the carbon out.

I still think you guys are wusses!
Steve

[bnd]

I can name at least 5 guys that could/would finish in front of me, Samms, Bryan Oblad, Jamie Hicks, Mike Kelly, Ian Elliot, Rick Eglintine,....the list goes on. I just might have to re-gear my bike though from the 40-17 I'm pushing right now.

The word on the street is Jumpin' Jerry Vanderpool is coming PLUS you guys seem to forget the fastest 40 yr. old in the state might race in this. If he does everybody else will be racing for 2nd place.

This ought to be fun.

Hey Bruce,
where did that quote go about me training for the no clips races and getting hurt? Are ya being nice? Just when I was getting ready to take my marbles and go home, you gotta take back some funny remark....what the? Are you really gonna be nice to me?
