    Crusty gets us on two wheels. I honk at the fans. We have a near miss with a baby in a stroller.

    Because you wanted to see me put my helmet on.

    “Busboy” Bob Russell takes us to a third place finish – our best of the weekend.

  • “It looks like Jelly Bellies racin’ out there”

    We had green, red, white and silver VW Beetles racing the VORRA series this past weekend and a good time was had by all, apparently including the race fans. One of them came up to me afterward and said “It looks like Jelly Bellies racing out there.”

    Team meeting this Thursday night and probably a work day this weekend. More video to come.

  • Bug Invasion I is a wrap – Congrats to 1177 and Bob Messer

    Back and sunburned from Bug Invasion I. Try as we might, we couldn’t flip 1107. We did DNF twice with blown fuse and fan belt issues, but “Bullet” Bob Russell got third place in the second moto. The great thing about racing Class 11 is the camaraderie (also the breakfast burritos, polish sausage, ribs and tri-tip).

    I’ve got video from all three races that I’ll be posting shortly. For now you’ll have to settle with a photo gallery.

    Lastly, thanks to everyone involved with VORRA for being so supportive of the return of Class 11s.

    P.S. Watch for “Bug Invasion II – The Bugs Strike Back” in 2011.
