I’m sure most riders were hoping for a little ‘dust control’ precipitation in the days preceding the 2021 Redwood Engineering AHRMA National Vintage Motocross Series at Barber Motorsports Park and the final Classic MotoFest™ of the year. The weather gods delivered, but they forgot to turn off the rain spigots; the off-road areas were soggy, muddy, slippery and slimy. The pits and parking areas and swap meet were no exception. The mud caused an otherwise vintage-friendly track to be challenging with the elevation changes. The final turn on the course was very tight exiting up a muddy hill that was tricky. Some riders experienced their first ‘hand on the helmet’ start with the bikes in neutral and all left hands on the side of helmet. I remember those pre-starting gate, pre-rubber band racing days. Special thanks to the volunteers who worked hard to ensure a smooth-running race program: Kelly and Maggie Shane, Kristine Zmuda, Joesph Broadway, James Broadway, Lucy Broadway, PJ Aguirre, Doug Rainey, Matt Parsons and Brandon.
