"Formula Forty"
« on: February 10, 2009, 11:51:42 PM »
So you have to actually be forty or can you be 39 and 11 months. I know the rule book says forty, but is it that serious? I will be forty on June 12 and don't want to have to wait till July if I don't have to.

Darrell,

Have you ever heard of the infamous K3, Chris Onwiler?

He would be able to explain everything that's wrong with the way the rule is structured. :thumb:

40 years old min on day of competition.

There was a proposal to change to year that a rider turned 40. That was NOT implemented and led to some confusion 5-6 years ago.

So what's the "Formula" in it?  Was there ever one??

Seemed to me that age of rider + age of bike >= 40 would be cool... 

Or do y'all get an insurance break on a class made of up of grandparents?

Yeah, originally, a 35 year old rider with a five year old bike could compete, 35+5=40.  I think 35 years old was the youngest one could be.

Since I've been away from this scene for some time, I gotta ask.....(better put on my smite-proof jacket here) buy do people still kid around with the F40 guys these days?  You know, "Grecian Formula 40" and all that? LOL, sorry- had to ask!

No. Everyone here is very serious at all times.  We never discuss age, or make politically incorrect statements calling people a fat ass, or that they're probably wearing a thong under that suit...you know, stuff like that.  We would never want to hurt anyone's feelings...  :biggrin:

Why do you ask, are you an old fart too??

Wat! But wait! My bike would make me eligible for F-50. I still have a couple years before I get to 35... ugh... less than a couple.

I can see the interviews now......

"Well, folks, the Team Viagra Suzuki ran hard today in the Grecian Formula Forty.....I'd like to thank the Cialis Cup Series (CCS) Geritol, Just for Men, and of course Depends- for getting me through a double sprint weekend"

lol- I feel a smite coming on....

I think Jigs wears Depends. He said it saved him from a real mess at Daytona.
