Willie --

I know SCTA has stepped up to a better rookie orientation.  But his guy coulda shown up with the same two problems that he might not be able to fix on-the-spot.  I think the clubs have a greater duty than just collecting dues.

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.

STAN I think you got me confused w/ the other guy. I have a tow rig, my questions was on the boots?

Don't get discouraged because the bored folks here are looking for a little humor at anybody's expense.

If you can't get someone to help you give a shout out at the driver's meeting. I don't care what your problem is, 10 guys will step up to help you. Tow vehicle driver, tow vehicle, welder, spare parts, forgot to bring your drill . . .

If you need something after the driver's meeting just head up to the announcers trailer and they can give a shout over the PA and on the CB radio.
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

OK Debgeo,  Dean's offer makes at least five guys who will give you a hand should you need it.  See you in May?
