Yeah you would love it. Its fits your style perfectly. You are the occasional racer and have Jackman to keep an eye on.

You should do a race with them.

Is it required that you wear the OTHG jersey at their races

I wouldnt mind doing their races but I must wear a Dirt Digger jersey

[tractionaction]

It's NO longer a requirement TO WHERE the Gang jersey .

We do require you run the letter B WITH your assigned race NUMBER AND background color FOR your skill LEVEL.

We now offer assigned race numbers FROM 26 TO 999, go TO our site below AND CHECK out what numbers ARE available. Once you pick your NUMBER this becomes your career NUMBER you GET TO keep YEAR after YEAR.

I'm in my 6th year with the club and have formed many friendships and of course been in many good battles on the race track.

Anyone is welcome to attend our monthly meeting or just show up at one of our gang races.

Thanks,

Bay OTHG VP.

The Sierra chapter still requires you to wear a jersey and the proper colored numbers and background on your bike. I belong to the Reno chapter. We don't require the jersey but most OF us wear them anyway.
We ARE the smallest chapter WITH about 70 members. ONLY about 20 OF us race ALL the TIME AND WORK TO put ON our races AT Fernley.

So what are the background colors for each class (Couldn't find it ON their website....)

Green=Beg
Yellow=Novice
Black=INT
White=Expert and Pro

This is going to sound pathetic, but I've been a Reno Chapter member FOR my SECOND YEAR now AND NOT ONLY do I NOT have a OTHG Jersey I don't even know how to get one if I wanted it Personaly I'd LIKE TO have one myself.

The Reno Chapter also doesn't require us to hold true the colored backgrounds, which is cool because just say a green background looks like crap on any bike but a Kawasaki. The colored backgrounds are however required for the OTHG Nationals, be it Reno or anywhere else, pieces of colored tape though do squeak you by on that rule.

It's a good thing FOR Motocross though being a part OF ANY club devoted TO the sport. NOT sure what ALL clubs you guys have over the hill there, but IN Reno we have the OTHG chapter FOR people over 30 AND the Old Timers Chapter FOR people over 40.

Right now I'm playing with the idea and running it by friends to start a motocross club available to people of all ages. Not as a competition to the older guys clubs we already have, but more so as an enhancement to those clubs and option to the younger people we have who make up the majority and don't have a club OF their own already.

The concept IS ONLY IN the thought process RIGHT now, but I think it's something we all could use and currently don't have, FOR the younger crowds that IS. I also believe it would serve AS an enhancement TO the CURRENT clubs we already have FOR us older people because a VIEW OF benefit FROM being part OF a club AT an earlier age would ONLY enhance the desire TO be a member OF a club AT an older age.

I have a million ideas flowing ON what we could make a club LIKE this AS myself, but could certainly use ANY AND everyones interest IN this TO make it happen. One consideration I've had was making an online meeting available so everyone could neet on the club issues from home, that could certainly bridge the gab between both sides of the mountain in the planning and design of such a club.

What it needs to get this started right now is only your own interest, from there we'll need everyones INPUT ON just what such a club should do AND be.

Anyone interested IN helping TO GET just such a club started should email me FOR now AT tony24r@othg.org
