Forgive me if that was sarcasm and I didn't pick up on it. Please use the following icon for future sarcastic remarks so that I don't get confused.

Could be any number of reasons, really. Insurance for such events may be more obtainable with such a limitation. Or, the "track" may only be safe at certain speeds (The YSR track out at 75&80 was smaller than a high-school track and was full of ruts, grass and potholes). The simplest explination is probably the most likely...to keep it "fair". You let in more sizes, you need separate classes. One can hope it gains enough popularity, continues to grow and opens up more classes.

Perhaps I shoud read the link before commenting. They do have classes. Perhaps they'll add a 200+ class...

TommyThunder put on a great event today, nice shop he has, great roads for the ride route, relaxed chat and super chow at his place afterwards, and even the weather held off for the group I was with.....cool breezes and only a couple sprinkles....much better than the weather service predicted

Super day!!!

Yup just like JV said.

Laura and I had a great ride up to thurmont. The roads all around that area are awesome. Just about everywhere we went had super scenic and twisty roads.

And the shop was pretty nice. Tommy's got a pretty good setup there.

He said he's gonna throw more rides in the future.. so it's not like you those of you that didn't attend missed your only chance.. but you should definetly go next time.
