Does anyone know the age of the oldest ever "rookie" or first timer in the Daytona 200?

I'm gonna disagree, Apriliaman, since 63 is the oldest rider, per Eric Kelcher.  They only keep track of the oldest and youngest riders, and not the oldest rookie, hence, my question.  I'm 53, and trying to make a run at it for March.

Yes. 2016 was the first and only time I raced in the Daytona 200.


2017... will be my second.  :biggrin:

Eric is wrong I will ask Claye and see how old exactly.

You're confusing Daytona with the Daytona 200.  Claye didn't do the 200, just the CCS weekend [as an excuse to drink Jack Daniels if I remember correctly (: ]

Get after it guys! I ran it in 2015 and 2016, but I may sit it out for 2017. Spent too much dang money doing it on a Ducati.

My new (to me) R6 has some quick change gear on it, but those side stands are pretty expensive too.
