Are you being deported again? What did you do this time Bruce?

 

[bclapham]

thumbs:

long story dude, but since you asked!

in order to recieve my full promotion from student to faculty, i had to change my visa to a "working" one. this just got approved, so now i am legally allowed to stay in this wonderful country for at least the next three years.

however, if i want to leave this country (during the next 3 years) and return (even on the same day) i need my new visa to get issued (even though it is approved) to be allowed back in! so to get the visa issued, i have to go to the consulate in Tijuana, but if for any technicality (lots of t's crossed and i's dotted) they decide not to issue it then me and the wife wont be allowed back in to the US. being stuck in Tijuana is a scary prospect and to be honest i am cr :uh: ing myself.

so if you dont hear from me after jun21st, please divide up my belongings between yourself and have fun! but please also keep your fingers crossed on my behalf! in the meantime.

the whole thing is fall out from 9-11, hopefully the peson we deal with at the consulate will remember that us Brits are the closest allie to the US in the war.

regards

bruce

 

[holeshot]

Geez, if I ride, I'll be in the same race as Ol' 49r....... :eek:

 

[thumbs]

Bruce - If they don't let you come back from Tijuana I know a guy (Coyote) that can get you back in the US. Are you OK with hiding in small dark spaces for long periods of time? .......lol

Hope to see you there.

Cheers,

Thumbs

 

[desert_racer]

Thumbs.... Fax Sent

Scar.... Fax Sent

Homey.... Fax Sent

 

[homey]

Thanks man!
So as a first time racer which of you would be in my class? I'm 24 on a 250...I want to be able to do a little bench racing before the race!!!

 

[thumbs]

Thanks for the form Rex.

homey - What class are you entering, BEG/NOV/AM, 250 2-stroke or 4?

So what class is everyone else riding in? I'm definitly entering the 125cc for 2-strokes but not sure about the BEG/NOV/AM thing. Since I have never done one of these go fast races (just a few family enduros) would I be considered a sandbagger if I entered the beginers class? Or should I just enter the novice class and get the tar beat out of me. I can ride fast but only in a straight line and for about 3 to 5 minutes at a time....lol
I thought about the vet class but I don't want to start my race at 2pm. 125's start at 9:30.

 

[desert_racer]

I'm racing the Vet Novice Class.

 

[thumbs]

OK, if you are a Novice then I'm a beginner. But now you have me thinking I might just enter the Vet Beginner class. That way we could ride together for about 15 seconds every time you and Bundy lap me.

 

[homey]

Well, I'm a young guy so I guess I can't be racing you old guy's!! I'll be in the first race, 250 (2-stroke) novice. :moon:

 

[scar tissue]

I'm still trying to find my way into the super seniors. That way Ol89er can beat the tar out of me as usual :o


Honestly, I'm racing the vet. class or 4 stroke both are late, even after those four wheel thingies, so starting a 2 or 330 isn't that big of deal.

Since I've already kissed +( family site edit) the trophy girl and Enron specialed the prize $$$$, I decided to enter just for fun. I was going to call and see which class was the smallest for less dust, but if the other drn 4 strokers are going vet class over 4 stroke, thats fine with me. I'm easy :moon: Well, not like prison easy,but close.

 

[homey]

Are any of you guy's going out to Carlsbad for the June 23 race?

 

[thumbs]

Nope. That's the day that my little sister is getting married ....again.

I had a few questions about the race so I emailed Tankslappers and this is the relpy I got:

Hi Tony -- happy to hear you're interested in our race. I'll enter our answers down below next to your questions.

I'm trying to find some information about the Summer Remedy Grand Prix.
Here are a few questions if you don't mind.

1) Is there a link to a flyer or other information? No, sorry, Tankslappers does not have a web page. I can fax or snail mail you a flyer and entry form. You can save $10 on entry fee if you mail in before July 15.

2) Do you need to be an AMA member? No.

3) What is the format of the race? Dead engine start? Bomb run? Or does
everyone line up according to their assigned #? Approx 7 mile loop, includes motocross track, grand prix track (bigger sweeping turns) and paved drag strip. Races are 1 hour -- average guys get in 4 laps, fast guys get in 5. Start is live engine, out of gear, clutch hand on helmet. Race numbers are assigned and issued by us -- front plate only (please cover any side plate numbers). Line up at start is based on skill level: experts on front line, then amateur, novice and beginners on succeeding lines. We have no practice at this event -- we offer a parade lap before each race, which is once around the track at slow to medium speed behind a pace rider to give you the layout of the land and scope any tough spots.

4) What class should a first time racer that rides OK enter? I'm 34 years old
and ride a 125cc 2-stroke. You could race either (or both) the 125 class or the Veteran (over 30 yrs old) class. Last year there were 46 in the 125 class and 43 in the Vet class, however we're expecting a bigger turnout this year because an LA club is awarding points in its series for racing our race. The character of the two races is generally: the Vets are experienced racers and it's a pretty competitive class. The 125's are a mix, but generally a younger crowd. So, do you want to race against experience or youth -- that's a tough one ;) Because of your limited racing experience, we would suggest you race in the beginner class, but that is entirely up to you. As I said above, your choices are expert, amatuer, novice or beginner.



Again, it was a pleasure to hear from you. Please feel free to contact us if you have further questions.
