around 2-3pm they will be held in between qualifiers, and main races that day. There will be two races one for 30 and older, and the other is bikes with only 1" headset, platform pedals, and no V brakes. If a lot of cruisers show up we will add that as a class also.
Ask me how you could help a kid get a bike.

Re: Chicagoland Old School Shootout/ Swapmeet
Really looking forward to this event.
Racing The Hill for the first time and hanging with you guys.
Will cruisers be allowed in the old school race, even if there isn't a big turnout with them?
The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "save us"...
And I'll look down and whisper "no".

I will have my cruiser, and at least 2 others will also. It only takes 3 riders to make a moto so you are all good bro. I will see you at the starting gate.....Riders Ready!

Re: Chicagoland Old School Shootout/ Swapmeet
Feeling better, Earl? I'm still semi-crippled. I saw that you called earlier, but I was away from the phone. If up, call me.
I'm looking forward to hanging at The Hill and having some fun, guys. OGOAR style.
I'd like to get some people I know that live around me out to the track to participate and support.
Promote I will!

Ray does some quality work. I know firsthand, as he powdered my "antifreeze green Kappa" just a few months back. As well, Ray has thrown powder on some friend's items and bikes. Awesome, friendly, quality-minded guy!
Will be good to see you, man!
