I do the rookie orrentation for our hillclimb club. One of the first questions I have to newbies who drive to the event is “How are you getting home? Do you have a plan B?” Something bad happens-now what?

An end of the season thanks Alanis for these reports. With so many series moving around from main networks to sub-networks, its my Saturday morning first stop to set up the dvr.
Years ago when the dinosaurs roamed the earth-there was just one outdoor track around. Beat- to -shit karts. They would see you reach around to grab the throttle linkage-and throw you out. I came up with a good trick-I would take a piece of fishing line and tie a paper clip folded into a “S”. When I would jump in a…
They ride like crap from what I remember. But they do make a good plow truck.
Look in CT Craigslist. Theres been one listed for a while.
And you can’t get the jack out.
Anyway-they had to spend some $ just to pull the job off. How much does a set of hot wheels go for-when you flood the market like that? The thieves sure would have worked hard for their ill gotten money. (If they get any out of it.)
“do the math.” Ok- I don’t have much of a criminal mind-but can figure out logistics. You would have needed to be quite prepared to pull this off.
I used to work for a private collection that had 2 of these. One was “farm equipment” quality and the other that was fully restored. When there was company/business associates around,( ironically many from Japan) I would get to haul out a half track and take them for a ride. I would get the call down to the garage…
Welcome to motorcycle history-1960’s edition. There were pretty much just bikes-not 10 different segments. You want to make it a scrambler? Take off some parts-want to make a moto-x? Take off some more. Flat tracker? Rearrange some parts. You could bolt the street stuff back on + road ride it. You want to race you…

The first few years it was Thursday nite. Then they moved it to Saturday.
First time I saw him race was at IRP in a asphalt midget. (It was a Saturday nite thunder race.)
How come if someone on a motorcycle does something stupid on a bike it somehow makes all motorcyclist look bad? Are all car drivers assholes because of the Youtube vid of the guy that cut off the bike a few weeks ago?
Better than another chopper.
As the resident hillclimber-I approve.
If you stand while you pee, you wouldn’t understand. Thankfully for VW, most of their beetle customers don’t.
And do you remember when Ferrari used to brag that they spent zero on advertising-their products sold themselves? Now they spam You Tube ads.
Yea-we miss him at the hillclimbs too. ( although we do have another fast TDI early rabbit running.)
