    How to start Racing

    I'll be holding a "How to Start Racing Seminar" on Wednesday February, 21 2007 at my shop in Bellingham, MA. It's open to anyone who wants to know more about how to get started racing at NHIS. I'll cover many topics such as, schools, licensing, insurance, transportation, basic bike preparation, tools, spares, conditioning, and answer as many question as you can throw at me. Time is 6:30-9pm. I will provide Pizza and drinks, just sign up below so I have a head count.

    I'm going... from CT. So if anyone needs a ride, let me know.

    Unless your going to host one in Milford too Peter. Then I'll save the gas money and wait.

    No, that would be me.

    Is this something to attend if you're only thinking about racing and need a little nudge?

    Chuck, we won't try to talk you into anything you don't want to do.....too hard. Or at least anything you probably would not have done any way. Well not any thing that would cause you undue stress at home, that you wouldn't have done any way. OK, nothing the wife might disapprove of. OK nothing that the wife would directly disapprove of. At least nothing that the wife expressly forbids. Oh who are we kidding, you're going racing, maxing out your credit cards, blasting through your line of equity, getting a divorce, living out of your van, sleeping in a tent, paying most of your earnings in alimony, and filing for Chapter 11. But do just one race......and it's all worth it.
