http://www.FLVMX.com is glad to announce the first United States Vintage GP will be held march 2-3 2009 Lake City fl, monday and tuesday following the AHRMA off road national at Gainsville Fl, no memberships required and a class structure to make sure all have a place to race. The featured class will be Vintage International, entrants must be 50 years old and may ride period specials, works bike as well as any period correct bike up to 1974, 7" fork and 4" rear axle travel . Unlike some "other" racing organizations we encourage "period correct specials" some examples are home grown water cooling, center port CZ's, dual carbs, Tillotson/Walbro carbs, other period specials such as Sanderson's Cycles 167 lb disc braked CZ's, C+J, Boyd and Stellings, Champion, Kramer, we know what we are looking at though so no monkey business OK. At the moment we are planning 15 or 20 min motos for the international class, this class will run last in the race order.

Classic and Premier classes will be offered, total number of entries will determine race class placement. Sidepipe CZ, square barrel Maico, 5 speed Stiletto and Cappra allowed and encouraged , kitted DT1 (no YZ or RT MX/DT MX), Kawasaki F81m will all be included as they will provide a good mix for fun.

Evolution/ PV classes will also be run, once again we want you to have a great time so we also allow "specials" of this period as well, (Joe Vanella type) 78/79/80 Honda CR250 powered by 450-480 is an example. Back dating will also be allowed with in reason such as Maico Alpha converted to twin shocks.
We will include a Modern support class however it will be a "modern all" no skill levels, if you want try out that new bike before spring breaks back home this would be a good place to do it.

If you have any questions about where you bike will fit please check http://www.flvmx.com or contact Woody 407-416-2021 or myself through a PM here.

The entire class structure will be a condensed version of the standard http://www.FLVMX.com class line up, final itinerary will be posted soon.

Come and join the fun, Days Inn motel and Huddle House are within walking distance.

Peter,
Thanks for this info on a fantastic event ahead for some of those very fortunate folk that can make it.
Great to be able to read what is happening over in Florida.  8)
Do you have a pre 74 special/works ride that can be begged,borrowed or sold for the lucky visitors. ?  ;)
The feature race would be awesome to watch, true Vintage Classic  :-*

I'm sure 50% of us on this forum only ever dream about attending/riding events like this one.
So glad dreams are free  ;D

Cheers and hopeing you get full grid lines  8)
Best is in the West !!
