Stimilon Race Class Choices

[JustInMass]

What're you all thinking?

Never Ever
Old 30C
Keeping it Real

I never made it to my 3rd race last year, but suspect the butterflies will be less this time around. Less butterflies - more energy.

I thought 2 classes was plenty last year. I think I'll stick to old 30C (actually, I turn forty the week after this event!) and Keepin it real.

[Paul_E_D]

Shit! I just realized I have a major schedule conflict here. July 10th is the day of the Greylock Century. Not sure Lisa will be too happy if I bail on her for this event. Hummm...

[McBiggity]

never ever
old 30c

[typeone]

- Old 30C
- not sure what for a second class

you guys signed up for 3 classes last year? i only did 2 classes (NE, O30C), skipped out on 1 of my 4 races. beat after going back-to-back for 2 of them.

oh, no!

[RyanNicholson]

I did never ever, and keepin it real last year.

Of course keepin it real was my first race.... ever.... and I got raped, beat up, and almost shit my pants. Those guys are pretty quick

Two races was enough for me last year, I'll probably stick to that.

[Paul_E_D]

Lol! Keepin it real was great!

[RyanNicholson]

I probably would have been fine if I was smart enough to hang back.... but no.... I wasn't, and ended up going into T1 in like 5th. And crashed like 3 times thinking I could keep up with that pack haha.

[Paul_E_D]

T1...


I'm not sure which race this was. I'm way back, so I think I ran a guy over in this one. My starts were surprisingly good and I enjoyed teh T1 melee.

[seth399]

I'm not sure yet, but def. doing keepin it real with all the 2smokes!

[DBB]

Is 30C and 35C for novices? What's the A,B,C designate? I'm confused.

ya
A = expert
B = amateur
C = novice

[elissama]

hmmmm...... wondering if I could have any chance of surviving in the chick class? The whole jumping and track thing is growing on me and this looks like a pretty damn good time. Opinions?

My humble opinion? go and race

You'll be fine and you'll have a blast. I barely knew how to ride a dirt bike and I survived it fine... you'll actually probably do better than you think you will. And there really aren't any crazy zomgimgunnadie triples or anything at Southwick to worry about.

Maaaaaybe 450 Hack and Old 30C. Having just raced Southwick, I'm thinking 2 classes may be more than I even want to do. Hell, 2 motos was more than I wanted to do last weekend.....

You might fell a little out of place............there are no puddles out there.

You should do just fine out there.

How'd it go? That was your first time riding there? Track is epic isn't it? Huge walls, big hills. I like it a lot. It is a workout to say the least.

Elissam, you will have a blast. It's like a massive sandpit. No real air, but some insane gravity drops. Only one rutted corner, and plenty of whoops. Never ever and the ladies class would be more than enough.

Oh yeah, I'm cleared to do Ssssstimilon instead of the century! I'm a little torn though.

Two races - sheesh - I thought there'd be more enthusiasm to get out and ride after a long winter.
I fully recall not even being able to speak my name on the way home from 2 races last year (I bailed on the third), but remember routinely for hours at MX207 2 months later. Then again, it is Southwick...
I remember falling asleep several times on the way home. My eyes were open, I could see the road, but I literally struggled to "functionally drive". My brain simply no longer worked. Pretty scary actually. Anyway..

Old 30C and Never Ever were 2 races that I was "suited" for. Keeping it Real was an open class that was fun to start gate with, but then a distant memory after 2 laps. Hmmm...

yeah, Old30C and NE were a good time. i didnt need any more competition than that. had a blast trading places with a few riders.

Second time riding there. I posted up a race report in this forum. Awesome track, scary as hell second moto. Soft crashing. Completely different style of riding than what I'm used to.

where?
