So does this look more accurate?? Looking like I'll be doing Never Ever and trying to decide between Old 30C with more guys or Brittle 40C with Daniel and Paul. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! What to do, what to do?
11 Old 30C Novice Class, ages 30+
McBiggity
rbrais
Paul_E_D
typeone
14 Brittle 40C Novice Class, ages 40+
BLACK SQUIRREL
Paul_E_D
17 Keepin It Real 2 Stroke Open Class
rbrais
18 Never Ever Beginner class
McBiggity
Kurlon
typeone
19 Headlight Enduro Class
Kurlon
What other classes are for people that can't ride for shit? I was also goin to do never ever, but I was stumped on the 2nd one aside from keeping it real.
98 rm125, #51
Just checked the long range forecast. Phew! gonna be sloppy again. It just wouldn't be right to have Stimilon without a completely saturated track! This is getting too be like the Loudon Classic.
Edit: Keepin it real is an open class, so experts do it. Any class that says Hack after it is good!
thanks Paul, open hack (Open Novice Class- all bikes over 125cc) might be a better second option
anyone got a schedule as to which times the motos are? looks like a 1-1/2 hour drive
they will probably make the schedule on Sat morning and even then, it's subject to change through the day. just part of the deal to listen to the loudspeakers (which is difficult) and check the schedule sheet constantly throughout the day. (grabbing a print out helps)Quote:

I think you have to be signed in by the morning, like 8:30.Quote:

what time are most of you guys getting there?
and what do you bring? I figure aside from the obvious stuff, bring some beer, food, water, beer, tools, gas, a chair, and change of clothes with a towel...and maybe some baby wipes.
if the weather or a location around the track permits, I'll bring a camcorder and try to get as much of your races as I can on tape (although quality will only be 320x240)
think i usually get there around 6PM for gates/check in (Friday). black GMC pickup, white Husky #22.
right, just pack all the usual stuff for a full dirt day or as if you were camping + riding two days straight... EZups + chairs are life savers.
Is there power available? If so I have an electric cooler, otherwise I'll plan on packing some ice.
Also, I'm going to pick up a couple air filters so I have clean ones ready to go. Given how sandy Southwick is supposed to be, would filter skins/pre filters make sense?
dont think power is readily available (dont remember seeing any cords) although there is a spigot right near our pit and usually a hose hangin' out so that helps if it gets sloppy.
i didnt even touch my bike from last year, working on it last night, the filter was pretty clean. up to you if you want spares around but i dont sweat it. each of the 'C' or 'Beginner' classes are only 4 laps x 2 motos.
There are some power outlets I believe, but they are far and few, and usually taken. Same goes for water hook-ups.
One filter will be good for the day. Mine's not real dirty from last year, but the oil dries out so you want to clean it.
laminated tear-offs :idea:
Oh yea, I'm out of those. Only took 5 years to go though a pack.
i always forget those f'in things or lose them directly after use. ordering more right now.. .
Roll offs,Quote:

Is a chest protector a must have? I don't have one and finding one my size on short notice might be difficult.

i ordered the laminated tear-offs :) and a Moose mud coat! (hope i dont need it)Quote:
