Hey Zook-e,

Do you mean July 6? Is this the early entry deadline or the "that's all folks deadline?" I had thought you could register up to the day of the races?

Oh.

Okay, lets say (just for the sake of arguement mind you) that a prospective racer hadn't joined AHRMA yet because they were waiting to get their "provisional novice" credentials from WERA (ironically enough on July 7). Will AHRMA accept an entry fee and a membership application at the same time with the understanding that proof of "race-worthiness" will follow?

Not that I know anybody in this situation mind you... Just asking is all.....

:grin:

T-500 Parts bike for sale near Mid-Ohio

Post by Admin »

Seems relevant to the thread, so I thought I'd post it here. If you disagree, I apologize.

I have a 1971 T-500 in Candy Lavender, near Mid-Ohio. Mostly complete. Engine is not frozen. It's filthy, but would clean up nice. Frame has surface rust, most everything else should clean up.

Local Harley group was going to use it for a "burn bike". I liked it, picked it up, planned to do something with it and have too many other projects to be able to get to it soon.

I thought some of you would have a need for a parts bike, so here it is.

If you'd like to come see it, you can get me at hempoh at yahoo dot com.

Make offer. No title.

And while I'm asking annoying questions, are we just paying the entry fee now or for the races as well? And if we have to pay for the races now, can I just sign up for Formula 500 and then add Formula Vintage when I get there or is it all now or nothing?

Thanks,

Jim

Jim,

You pre-enter for all the races you plan to enter, including Friday practice if you so choose.

I believe with AHRMA if you pre-enter a race and don't actually grid up you can get a refund for entry.

For those with new built bike I would recommend running Friday practice to get the details (bugs?) worked out. It's called infant mortality, usually when mechanical or electrical items are tested for the first time, the problems will usually become apparant very early on giving you the time to makle corrections before "show" time.

My bike got picked up by shipper Sunday 01 July so it's on it's way to Mid-Ohio. My pre-entry is in, so now it's just wait until I fly to Columbus OH.

Zooke, I'm assuming we'll be pitting in the same place as last year? I'll be there Thursday evening.
