Hollister, OOps there
goes another one. Is it
too FAST or are we too
slow? The meat wagon
was going like a

Rick Hollenbeck, Hosted
an awsome race. The
dirt he brought in made
the track so nice, I had
to keep reminding
myself I was in Tulare.
The track was wide and
safe & as always FAST.

Out of the aprox. 600 entries,  10 racers
showed up to race the Vintage, and 15 for
the Post Vintage classes  of the Sand Hill
MX marathon. Jan 1st 2009. The cold foggy
conditions made racing for an hour easier. I
got to spend some time talking to Brad
Lackey and learned some cool stuff. I also
acquired a new motocross hero.          
 
Kelly Shane
, is a man I hold in high
regard. Waking up in the wee hours on the
first day of 2009 in Truckee Calif. to come
race his Open Sportsman twin.
Vintage Mx Racer is a San Francisco
bay area based, on-line monthly
magazine, about Vintage and Post
Vintage MotoCross racing. It is not a
"one club" or "results" thing. We try to
let you know what is coming up and
how it felt to be at the races around
here. We do take field trips           
outside the area to select events
For an hour around a track designed and hosted by Phil and Tom Anderson. The track had steep jumps and
an Endrocross section with logs and rocks, but Kelly rode the whole race on the biggest bike in the event with
a smooth steady style. Everyone I talked to, liked most of the track. There were a few bottle necks at the
Ecross section, but that's enduro right? The day needed to be longer, as the last race ran out of daylight.
Sign ups were slower that I'm used to but they were trying hard to keep things moving........
