In like Flynn...and Steve Isenhower is a great resource for that bike as he pilots an 86 VFR 750 that won the WERA Vintage 6 National title in 01.

As a fellow HawkRacer, I look forward to racing in the 'new' Formula OS (Old School) in the 2010 season...
...even if that means it is in name only and I race in existing classes. It's still fun, relatively cheap, and a hoot to be on track with a bike built from parts discarded from my old toaster.

Bring it on...and if you know more people let them know! I want to something better than what has been done in the past with Vintage/Classic and not just slotting these bikes into to a lump sum Classic group or shuffling them off to Clubman.

Problem is... What you guys think as classic (Nighthawk, for example) is not what others may think as classic (1974 Norton Commando 850). Although a &quot;British&quot; class would be a great idea to take up some AHRMA slack.

Besides, you might get to catch a glimpse of Barbara Conner....

That would be antique!! Ha ha ha !! Just kidding, I think a lot of people have older bikes that would be fun to race for fun...
My interceptor just sits most of the time, would lke to race it aginst similar bikes ! I mean isn't that club type raceing?

[Danny McCraw]

How do get in touch with him??

Since WERA Vintage rules host a broader spectrum of bikes as compared to ARMHA, which really doesn't have much for 80's through early mid 90's bikes, the WERA rules are the guideline that I want to use. This would also fall a bit closer in line to what we are seeing show up at the club now, ex. F2's, F3's, Hawk's, Super Hawk's and maybe an odd Kanatuna, although I would like to and envision seeing older machines from the 60's and 70's or earlier if they come.
The complete deal that I want the BOD to consider is getting WERA affiliation for this so that not only our racers can compete in the Grand National Final's but other racers are more enticed to come to our races chasing point and/or money. And maybe on day we can see a WERA National here in Texas again.

Ben. Classic is any bike that isn't equipped with fuel ejection and upside down forks? Right? LOL!!!!
