New guy

What is your amature class structure and do I have to be AMA or any thing else to race....Thanks

[tsmiley98]

what are you wanting to race? The thing I love about the GPFTS is that you DO NOT have to buy a license, membership or anything else to come and race. If I would have had to pay a membership fee to try it out I would not be racing now. To me it would have been a waste of money to try it once and decide i do not like it.

That's good to hear,,,I ran the 375 vintage class untill few years ago..They have a new short track at Inman Ks. and are wanting to run bikes,,then a couple of days ago I hear jeeps is having some short tracks and yesterday I see that 81 speedway is back,,,,and GPFTS is new to me,,, So I'm curious where my bike will fit in...Thanks....

our amateur class is vintage is 0-400cc they also have a vintage amateur Open class you can run as long as you are 30 years old. They have a Jr and Sr 150 class, Vet 40 class iirc (run anything as long as your old not the bike) kids 50cc, 60, 85, modern 250/450 , twin. Not sure what else..There used to be a list of all of the classes and I can not find it for some reason. Well hope to see you there in April we need a couple more guys in that vintage 400 class.

Thanks for the help,,, opening up the 375 vintage to 400 is a good move and really like not having all the membership costs...there should be 4 more more guys at Jeeps,, It'll be here before you know it...Thanks again....

One small correction: Just ONE 150 class, not Jr and Sr. Thanks!

Actually there are a few more changes. I will try to get them up shortly. Looking forward to some new faces in the 400 class though!

Right on... the more riders the better the class! You're not getting tired of us regulars in the 400 class are you Tammy?

I'm trying to lure another rider back to the track by offering a ride too... although he may have access to a Bultaco. He was a regular back in the NFTRA days.

Well if that's the case we would have about 9 riders in the class. Now I really can't wait until the first race in April...

They are an awesome crew to race for. Tammy (Cherrypicker) has an eagle eye, so no jumping the start..

Although I hear for the right amount of $$$ she will let it slide big time ;D

Yep... Just ask for the "Snyder Deal" at the signup trailer... ;D

All in good fun... ;D Bill is a great guy, but if he can win all the time he can take a little ribbing every now and then.

Looking forward to Jeeps, got my front wheel, forks, and shocks on the bike... yee haw! ;D
