...he ran his first race EVER yesterday and he WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ed ran in SMRI's comepetitive Historic Vintage Lightweight class yesterday after taking the licensing class only two weeks ago. He competed on a Yamaha SR 500 (a two valve per cylinder air cooled single). He ran second most of the race, but when bike 124 (Troy Runck on a heavily modified CB 350 twin) retired due to a failed battery Ed was left lapping alone WAYYYYYYYYYYYY out in first place and he took the checkers by a healthy half lap!
Good on ya, Ed!
I think, traditionally, you have to buy the
at the next Ducnight.

Thanks Scott for the good words, past advice and for your work as Corner Marshall!
It was a great race and it surprised me as much as anyone. The wind and blowing dust were awful. At one point I could barely see the rider in front of me in the turn before the grandstands. Uglllly....!
But....it was also an opportunity to pass, as that rider slowed for the dust devil..... So, I can't complain too much.
As I recall, it was you who planted the idea nearly a year ago of a torquey single as a race bike in the Vintage lightweight class. You and Stu described the main concepts of such a bike over beer and food on the back of a napkin.
I'm sure the next race will be interesting. The "Cheater Honda" group has two more 50-55 hp Honda 350's with really good riders that they can throw into the race. I'm sure they will demonstrate the fast way around the track. ....So, I will try to learn from them and perhaps the old Yamaha will find a way....

I don't think the "cheater Hondas" are quite 50-55 hp, but I wouldn't doubt 40 or a little more. They're quite strong for 350 twins, and they're light to boot. Regardless of their presence or absence, a win is a win!
Now you all have a chance to come out and support the class
points leader
for Historic Vintage Lightweight in his 2011 campaign!

Congratulations, Ed. It says a lot when an older gentleman has success at a new endeavor.

Oho! You do not want to say "Older Gentleman"!!! especially to Mr. Ed. The last this happened was in Ouray 2010...I saw something red go by me at 160mph...Someone was on fire to prove a point...

Scott,
This might be a good place to post or link this year's schedule so we can watch the both of you
You can go to
http://www.smri-racing.org/season/view.php
to view the season's comings and goings, both races and trackdays. There is a column there to tell you which configuration will be run, too, in case you want to do a Sandia track day in the new configuration. All events will be run in the clockwise direction.
Come on out! If anyone is interested in licensing, there is a school scheduled for April 30th (just over a week away) and there aren't enough entrants to hold the school. If you're interested in becoming a licensed racer you should call or email Troy Runck to reserve a spot. JJ is registered and I'm sure he'd love some company. [moto]

Scott,
Are there any dates towards the end of May or the beginning June.... also, is this a onetime or annual requirement?

There are no other licensing schools on the schedule, currently. I'm sure there will be at least one more near the end of the season. The school is a one-time requirement, so once is all you need unless you let you license lapse for a long period....I think 3 or 5 years.

Now backed up by a second in class this past weekend.
Keep up the modesty, Ed, and we'll think you're just plain shy.
Still #1 in the HVLW class points chase!!!!
