 I,m  46  if  everything  works  out,  I,ll  be  racing  this  summer.  On  a  04  cr125   stroker  crank  mod  motor.   The   largest   45  plus  class  is  problably  in  the  racer X   vet   series   in the midwest-  www.mxvets.com    It,s  a  4  round  series,  Red Bud  is  one  of the  tracks,  Millville   was   in  the  series.   Not  all  tracks  have  45+,  so  I,m  ok  with  40+   and   30 b   for a   2nd  class.   If  a  track  has  a  125  class ,   I,ll   do that   and  drop  30b.  The   125  class   has   some  fast   125 jr,s    I   should  be  able  to get  a  good  start ,  I hope   I   have   my  2 lap   sprint  speed  yet,  or  it,s  1.5  laps   and  then  have  a   bunch  of   hyper  15  yr olds   trying  to  stuff  ya.  haha   Either  way  the 125  class  is for  fun,  the start   will  be  sling shot  engaged ;D,  once  that  2mm  stroker   starts  pulling   it  will   be  a   blur   of   bright  RED    sling  shotting   past  em .  haahahahahahahahahaha :o :o :<img src=" title="Roll Eyes" class="smiley"> ;D :D :-X 8)

Assuming I don't die or get seriously injured in the next few years I had freaking better be still racing. Really not much point in living if I'm not :D

 NZ VMX is mostly over 40's ish as you would imagine but it is interesting to note that there are a number of younger riders having a go and it would appear enjoying it. I'm 51 and still "participating".

I'm 50, but I turn 15 when I drop the hammer at the start...  although I will feel as though I'm 70 for a day or two after...   :P

At 46, ride just about every week March through mid Nov. Racing less, but mainly because there are no enduros in this area. Did one MX race last year.

  If  your a  vet  rider  and  have  a  125,  get  some  riders  together  and  talk  with  your  local track.  About  a  35+  125  class   in  Wisconsin  we   had   38  racers  on the gate  with  a  2 week  notice  5or 6  yrs  ago.   The  winner  got  a  PBR= past blue ribbon  beer ;D.   If   someone  really  wants  to  race   on there   97 Rm   and  there   33  yrs old,  there  on the gate.   A    couple  other   tracks  have  the  125  35+   the day after  the race  everyone   ask,  who won  the  125  class.  Alot  of  interest   and   alot of  fun.
