Weather looks to be stellar for racing this weekend. Wife and I will be there spectating Saturday. Didn't get to see much of the action at MidO last weekend with all else that was going on. Pumped to witness how everything flows throughout the day, and to hang with some OR folk. Who else is in for this?

Looking to build a bike for OMRL? You'll want a 16" front wheel from a CRF80/XR80. I was planning on building a bike over this past winter but plans unfortunately changed for me. This is brand new, part number 44650-GFW-305, still in the box. Used ones go for $220 - $250 on eBay. Get a new one for roughly the same price. $250 obo

It was a complete blast. Parking lot racing around barrels. Amazing time. We had a nice big area that was fenced in for our racing and camping. Camping was at no extra charge. A huge saving if you have a motor home or RV. It was just above the paddock so very central location. Our stock XR/CRF100 class is still the most popular drawing 10-20 riders per event for both novice and expert classes. The Groms are showing up more and more and should get their own class soon. We will be keeping the CC limit stock but other mods allowed. Any Grom owners should show up and race or just hang out. I'll be taking a break this year to let some others pull the #2 plates. I'll be doing some rider coaching and helping the program run smoothly. For those who haven't been with us for a year or so, we have started paying corner workers. An easy way to make $50 cash for the partial day. It also helps the races progress much more quickly. You can now focus on your race instead of working.

Who is ready to go racing this weekend? This will be a normal day race. <reposted from OMRL forum> Unfortunately CRP has not made enough progress on the lights to guarantee us lights on Aug. 23. We are forced to move the race to our normal time. Registration 8:30 Riders Meeting 9:30 Practice 9:45-11:30 Racing 11:45

Right now is the best time to get ready for the 2014 riding season, especially the race season. There is a lot of talk about what everyone is doing to their bike over the off-season, what new expensive upgrades will be installed, and how we can squeeze out those last few tenths of a sec or horsepower. Well, I am now focusing on the item that is in the most need for an upgrade. The rider! Let’s just say that you just installed a new full exhaust on your bike, and you paid $1000.00 for it. What is that full exhaust really going to do, give you 1 maybe 2 more HP? Then you remap it so it all works and that's more money spent for really marginal improvement. I know lots of riders that won't even think twice about dropping several hundred dollars for a new exhaust or even thousands. Or maybe you want new lightweight wheels because that will help decrease rotational weight and make a big difference, but let’s face it, we are racers and don't want to spend $2K on a set of wheels! Plus me personally my skill level isn’t at the level to where I am going to notice a difference, and if you are honest with yourself the majority of us would fall into that category. Maybe you noticed that your new suit in 2013 was a little tight at the end of the season and taking out the back or chest protector to fit into it. Maybe you are thinking you'll have to go up a size or spend January thru April running hours on a treadmill to try and lose the weight. I know for me that was my situation this past year when I got back to the track, and I wasn’t too happy with that. What if I told you to put less focus on the bike, and more on you? Once I put less focus on the bike and more on my body, I was able to ride longer without getting tired, was able to fit properly into my race suit without taking off extra protection to fit into it and I lost 25lbs in the process. I don't know about you, but there is no way I can shed 25lbs off my race bike unless I spent a TON of money for custom carbon fiber EVERYTHING! So if you can relate to any of this, join me and some friends on December 19th at 9pm on how you can join in on a Motorcycle Rider Group Challenge starting the beginning of the year. This will help us all get started on preparing for this upcoming season and dropping some of those holiday pounds. Hear about a system that has worked not just for me, but also for AMA pro riders such as Jake Holden and other WERA championship riders. Also, in spirit of competition and our inner bench racing, we are going to have a grand prize for the best results from the challenge of a Moto Series track day, OMRL race entry, Iron Pony gift card or $100 in product. So make sure you join in to listen and get the chance to beat your fellow racer for a great prize. Join us on December 19th at 9pm from your computer at http://www.anymeeting.com/bncfitness and we will explain everything and answer any questions! Myself and Brian will be doing the challenge with everyone in preparation for this upcoming season.
