SoCal Vintage MX Classic 5, June 7, - UPDATED
« on: May 16, 2014, 10:44:22 AM »
Scott Burnworth contacted me, I'm riding at the 'SoCal Vintage MX Classic 5' at Glen Helen on June 7, a very generous ozvmx Forum member has offered me a CR480RD to ride.  Is anyone else going over for it?

Is it way too small? A bit of work with the heat gun or hot water could soften it enough to fit if it's close. Maybe some rubber friendly grease as well.

Wow awesome event, entered in 3 classes (6 races), l missed one race as some were back-to-back and l couldn`t get back to the line in time.. Tahition red (Jay)`s CR480 was a rocket ! Holeshot 3 races without being first out the gate.

Best finishes for the day a 2nd and a 3rd, got caught in anothers crash and was late for a start due another back-to-back start.

Huge thanks to Jay, driving 8 hours to let me ride his bike, and treating me like a factory rider, he even swept my concrete launch pad !

Coming down those Glen Helen hills with drum brakes put my interpretation of scared on a whole new level lol.
