We had a 50cc and under 4 stroke class at previous races.
I would really like to revive that race class.

Right now you could race in the lower Midrange class or with the China girl Amateur class at the April 12th race until we build the numbers up.

Just a note on the safety gear that Full face DOT helmets are required to race.
No more Open face helmets on the track.
Full face helmets are specified by the race tracks insurance company and Willow Springs Raceway.
Thanks.

Hey Guys,

Sorry to say, I will be missing this race. I will be out of town that weekend. I'm especially going to miss the chance to have a shot at a trophy with the splitting of midrange engine classes, and the briggs bikes racing against whizzer and predator engines.

Good luck to Andy and any of the other LA homies that show up.

Great, the race is on. Still pull together the bikes from last time. Attempting an aluminum flywheel transplant on the GC160 and valve spring washers to fix the float problem - a little. The China Girl engine is also on it's way from Dave Rust at Arrow Motorized Cycles. Cutting it close ...
Looking forward to seeing everyone again - at a new track (for me).

Going to make the trophies for the April 12th race myself.

Black marble,stainless steel and 1/8" wall aluminum columns.
I hope I can get more of those sprockets and gotta get some
SMBR stickers made up.

That is one heavy trophy......

Shaun at Myrons Mopeds in Fullerton is donating a bunch of those 28 tooth Tomos sprockets to the race so I can make the rest of the trophies.

The sprockets are a good fit for 415 chain and have 4 mounting holes with a 1 11/16" center hole.

Who's showing up? The usual group?
I'll be in Friday afternoon to tune up and camp over. Temprature looks good for racing.

Temp looks good but with all the earthquakes lately my son and I are the only ones with suspension to smooth out a 7.0.

i'll be there. wanted to go friday night but i gotta pull a night shift at my roomate's bar while he's out of town. if i have the energy, probably close up at 2 then get on the road. if not, catch a few zzz's and leave at dawn...

Wild Bill · Apr 3, 2014

Hey Neil, can we sign in and pay on Friday so on Saturday theres less for everyone to do?

FFV8 · Apr 4, 2014

Looks like I will have to skip this race.

Wish I could go, but life got in the way again.

I will definitely see you guys at the next Grange race.
