24 Hours of Starvation Ridge in WA -- October 26 & 27, 2019 (new dates)

[snydes]

First and foremost we would need to find out if there are still openings for this race. I was informed that one of the east coast 24 hour races sells out in the first month after registration is opened (6 months in advance). That might not be an issue for this one, but before any more energy is spent planning it should be confirmed that it’s even possible to participate.

 

[bluefxstc]

It appears you can, but i would call to check. Here is the organizers web site

 

[snydes]

I just called, there are still openings for team entries. Early registration cut off would be October 1st ($100 more for team entry after that point). He said they did not sell out the last two years.

So at this point it sounds like we have three potential guys for this one, @bluefxstc , @ElectroBraap , and @Silent But Dirty . What other west coast guys are willing to punish themselves?

 

[Philip]

Go, Go! We will cheer for you here from the East Coast! Also follow and learn what to do and what not to do.

[MrTaskRacing]

Great point Steve, and FYI the Northeast 24hr usually opens sign up in Early Jan, and is filled by Mid-Late Jan. Goes fast!!

 

[bluefxstc]

We have 3 out o 6. We need 3 more. We ain't getting any younger, now is the time to do this!

Should be plenty of west coast guys here!

@Butch you know of anybody?

 

[Butch]

is there a flyer for the event? I can post it on BARF and SBR...

 

[Philip]

Ideally, they should be Alta owners. But...

Butch,
The goal is a 6 man, 6 bike all Alta team. I think that’s really what the draw would be for most guys. It would be a worlds first sort of thing, and we have a gracious offer from @MrTaskRacing for discounted lighting products for an all Alta team effort. The organizations website is HERE . Many guys that are volunteering are not experienced so you don’t need to be a seasoned veteran to participate.

 

[Philip]

I am nominating Butch and Eric-the-Dakar-racing-Frenchman.

I don't think I would be in if it's not an all electric team. I was planning on calling my dealer tomorrow and see if he knows any owners that might be interested.

That’s how I feel as well. All or nothing.

Here is the web site for the Over The Bars Gang who puts on the event. I don`t see a flyer ot poster, sorry. I agree, all electric or not really interested and prefer all Alta, but not mandatory.

We'll see if anyone bites.

 

[magatta]

I have ZERO racing experience but I'd love to come out and make the bikes shiny!

 

[ElectroBraap]

 

[Silent But Dirty]

I guess there are just not enough Alta owners in the PNW that are hardy enough for racing.

 

[Butch]

Yeah, and some of us are old. Smart enough not to do that crazy stuff. I am dumb enough to enter a sprint enduro though.
