This past weekend may have been the best weekend for racing at the Hangtown national track in many years. Cloudy skys, temps in the low 70's and a perfectly prepared track. The Sierra Motocross Classic was what International Old Timer motocross is all about, fun, friendship, competation and a good time for everyone. One of the great things about these races is you always find someone to race with no matter how fast or slow you are. I watched the 50 novice class and I think it may have been the biggest class. It certainly looked like they were having the most fun. There were battles for place up front, in the middle and in the back. I watched memebrs of the Polka Dots MC and the Dirt Diggers battle it out for five motos to see who would have bragging rights. In the end it didn't matter, they all had stories to tell. The Sierra club put on a five star BBQ dinner and a raffle loaded with high end prizes. I think I saw one rider going home with two new helmets he won. Everyone was smiling, telling tall tales and having a great time. If you have never been to an International OT race you owe it to yourself to attend. The fun is off the charts!
