BumpyTrumpet -- Any word on this happening on July 28th?

Lee
BumpyTrumpet
I believe that it is happening that Sunday, I think its the 29th not the 28th.
After the scheduled races, should start about 12:00 noon
BumpyTrumpet
I wanted to do it both days, but after talking to Kevin, we decided the best would be Saturday.
Since we are seting up a second Old School gathering on the same day as the Alumni Dinner.
BumpyTrumpet
Regardless, Some local Collectors, TO and I (and my kids), will be at the track the 28th with a BBQ and about 5 bikes apiece, starting gate will be running. Gonna set a canopy or 2. and bump some cool tunes to ride and chill to over the pa system.
BumpyTrumpet
goin to lunch. be back at 1:00
lboorse2
Cool beans. So wait -- is it Saturday the 28th or Sunday the 29th.

Todd Lyons, you out there? How about bringing one of the new PK's out.

BT, do you know if Bensalem offers free trial memberships for the ABA? I'm assuming you need to be a member to ride the track -- even if it is at a leisurely pace.

I heard you can ride without an aba membership. I also heard that fullface helmets are mandatory.

Let me know if I am wrong.

I would definitly like to go. Anyone else?

What time do the races start?

Todd will be out of town then but I will try to stop by and bring a cool old bike. Don't know if I will be racing as I am pretty messed up from a bike crash right now.

Let me know the specific details and I will see if I can bring a bike from work.

what time on sat.
BumpyTrumpet
Talked to Kevin Tues night. The date is DEFINITELY set for Sunday, July 29th at 12:00 noon Immediately after the scheduled races.
I will be bringing as many bikes as I can (prob around 7 or so) Jeffypoo will be bringing a few and I'm sure many more. Please bring grilles, tunes, and any loose women you might know. "Just kidding"
And lets have a blast. See you there!
BumpyTrumpet
All AMA tracks I believe offer one free practice or race.

Why would you want to race WITHOUT a full face helmet?
Unless you're already UGLY!
84pk
The only helmet I have is an open face Premier that I used BITD. I haven't been on a track in 21 years.
lboorse2
Does Bensalem have loaner helmets?
BumpyTrumpet
I'll bring an xtra you are more than welcome to use, I have a few.
BumpyTrumpet
Now that I think of it, they do have some loaner equipment, just may be smaller size. I will find out tomorrow night at practice.

I am waiting on the weather report. My bikes don't like rain.
lboorse2
Bah -- They were made for dirt, mud, rain...
jeffry1970
im heading over at noon
pwh4130
The weather doesn't look so good. Anyone got an idea of another place? I will be around but my Garage is way too small to fit everyone's bikes. I have some stuff to show off.
84pk
I know Lee. With 3 kids I can't find time to polish and clean parts for new builds let alone clean complete bikes. I really wanted to bring my PK that I use to race and maybe the mini I am building for my son.

Anybody bringing kids? I was thinking about bringing my 4yr old.
jeffry1970
my six year old son will be with me.
Smokin Endo
I was gonna come but you know

"All my bikes are pink"

Jeff you and jon crack me up with that BS
pwh4130
I got the 81 goose in race ready condition for anyone who wants to throw down!
lboorse2
It's 7:30 and we just had a nice little storm blow through. I'm hoping it clears up.

What's the status and do we have an alternate plan? I'd have everyone up to my house, but the yard is kind of small and I don't have any coverage if it keeps raining...
jeffry1970
it doesnt look good acordint to the weather channel.if its not raining im heading up there at 12:00
goosefarmer
We should definately consider a rain date.
I was realy looking forward to this, but it's raining pretty steady here in Hunterdon county.
84pk
This is beat. No rain here in Burlington Cty but it is pretty dark. Can someone call BumpyTrumpet and find out if we should cancel?

Is there any coverage like a pavillion at the track?
84pk
Just checked weather.com.....only 40% chance of rain
lboorse2
So, is anyone going up? If we're going to get there around noon, I need to start packing the car now...
OLDSKOOLPK
I still wanna go, i'll bring two bikse and my camera. Rockford had a little rain....i think we can tough it out guys. what ya ll think???

im packin it up now. see ya there.

Jon
lboorse2
I'll go as long as someone's going to be there...
84pk
Yeah, I'm goin.
