Hi Gilbert
Great to see that you are coming to the race again!
You have been missing out on the Fun!
Hopefully most if the Briggs gang will be there.

Are you bringing your Briggs bike and riding on the track?

I am probably leaving Alhambra on Friday and camping over to
Sunday late so I don't know if that would work for you?

 

[Gbrebes]

Yes, I wanted to bring my Briggs powered bike and "race it". I can't leave until Saturday morning. My bike has a busted pulley, but it was running pretty good before that. I'm putting on my racing handlebars and tires while I wait for a steel pulley in place of the busted cast iron one. It would be cool to get a ride, but I am not really counting on it.

Thanks for the offer Neil,

Gilbert

Your friend turkman is definitely going and maybe can give you a ride.

 

[Gbrebes]

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the tip!

Did you get a ride?
Are you riding your bike?

 

[Gbrebes]

Yes, Bob offered me a ride, and I do plan on riding my bike with the 4-strokes. I just injured my left shoulder (bleeding muscle) at the boxing gym this Monday, but I hope to recover enough to race on Saturday the 20th. Should I send you a check or something? I can't even remember the fees.

If you click the race thread link below in my signature all the info
is there on the first page.
You still have # 79 and everyone is paying at the track.

Going to do a raffle based on your wrist band for a free lunch
from Jim Grangers new Pizza joint for everyone, spectators and
track riders.

I just checked the 10 day weather forecast and it's going to
be a perfect clear day at Grange at only 81* on Saturday 20th.
79* on Sunday.

My buddy ducedave is looking for a ride to the race from Menifee
for himself and his bike.

Only 8 days to go!
Can anyone help get Dave to the race?

Hope your arm is doing OK.

Here is a pic from when you were at Grange in Oct 2011.

 

[Gbrebes]

Man, that picture brings back memories. That was the most fun I had in such a long time. I remember extinguishing an electric bike that caught on fire. I also remember endlessly messing with my carb adjustments to compensate for the altitude, draining my gas tank because it was newly made, and did not have a proper in-tank screen. I also remember being literally the slowest bike in the mid-range and up 4 stroke races.
It was freakin' great! Leaning into the turns deep and pushing the entry speed into the tight turns was completely amazing. This experience can not be reproduced on the street and I thank Neil for making it all possible.

See you in the pits,

Gilbert

Only a couple of days to the race and still time to get a ride.
