Well Stan Back and Willie I guess I will not come to Race as I cannot run bike and drive a support vehicle at same time. When I started this forum everyone seemed helpful and positive.I guess I was to excited to read thru the BS. I have sent pms to several people I thought to be very knowledgeable. Some that I sent pms to post on this forum almost daily. The majority never responded. I do not know why as I said they are on here almost daily. Guess my questions were to tough. To BAK, Pegleg and Nortonist592 Thanks for your replies all of which I found very helpful. My desire to complete my LSR racer has been blown up with negative treatment given. I have read rulebook many times and I apologise for not totally comprehending it.

WILLIE I DO NEED SOMETHING, If I bring my bike to the next meeting could you look it over as far as teching it? That way I will have a week to fix anything that might not pass?

Debgeo,  Wrong.  Totally wrong.   Come out and race.  We'll get you back after a run or whatever is necessary.  I have roped by-standers into driving my support vehicle many times (whether they wanted to or not).  The rule book is written by only those who know what it says.  The rest of us take wild eyed guesses as to what it means.  But we show up and race anyway.  I'll be at SpeedWeek this year.  So I'll tow you back.  No excuses.  See ya there!

Debgeo, I think if you check you can ride your bike back at the BUB event at Bonneville. I believe all of the SCTA events require you to use a support vehicle. If I'm wrong, I'm sure there will be a correction shortly.

sssoooo back to my initial question if I have leather motocross type boots that are leather and taller than 8" w/ buckles I should be cool?

[sheribuchta]

yes  if you can wear a 10 i always have an extra pair of boots and gloves and helmet                                                   willie buchta

would be glad to  ---i think i have a tech sheet                               willie buchta

LOL!!  Will that be a Willietech or a Tomtech?

[Stan Back]

Okay -- I'm the bad guy.

"My question this time is boots, the rules state a leather boot . . . I have some newer motocross boots I dont think are leather but like a plastic/composite type, will these pass tech?"

This one answers itself -- and I think your club is lax in informing and mentoring rookies.  You should have known about support vehicles at this stage.  And as Emperor Norton says, anyone with any friends and/or club members never goes without support at the event.  But it's nice to bring a friend along to help you -- you gotta get the bike there somehow.

Willie you wear a size 10 helmet,boots and gloves, wow your  a big dude.

[sheribuchta]

stan back---our club the gear grinders just did away with the mentor program---the scta has stepped up the rookie orientation process to a 2 day event,the day before the race and the morning of the race--when you join a club you should get a rule book and the el mirage procedures--if you read section 1 and section 7 and the rules for your class ( motorcycles ) and read the el mirage procedures anyone should be able to show up at el mirage ,go through tech ,rookie orientation and not have a problem ---i have found that the inspectors want you to race and will help and so will most racers and like bill said we have volentered a spectator when necessary and they all said they had the time of there life             hope to see you all in may                               willie buchta

[sheribuchta]
