They are part of GLMX which I belong to. DC Plastic is a sponser in that series as well. The grass race at Red Bud is also attended by the Michigan series. I had to put my projects on hold while I remodel my upstairs. I was hoping to put my bikes on the track for my 50th b-day but....
Great photos BTW |
) I've never heard of them until the races, this guy had three of them all in perfect condition, and was one of the fastest guys out there...
I'll see if I can get some pictures of it up tonight

One of my favorite bikes there was an old Triumph 4-stroker. Although I love the two-strokes, this bike sounded awesome I'll see if I can get some pictures of it up tonight |

Thanks for the heads up on race fees also Badgerman, ouch! Good thing I know they still run vintage classes at the local ama races. Not as many stink'in rules, or people trying to get into my pockets!

We have been around since 1968 & remember our roots and the bikes and people that supported us to get us where we are today. Thanks again for posting & sharing the awesome pics!!!|

So……what the heck am I going to do with an AHRMA membership until next summer when the series comes back to Michigan, unless I am able to travel around the country and race? Frankly, I don’t think they are going to survive on their own.
All that said, it was really cool to wander around and look at all the old bikes. Some of those guys go incredibly fast on pre-1975 bikes with virtually no suspension. Good show.....I will go again next summer for sure. |
