Husky challenge- air cooled team races

Well, team OTBG made it through the first 6hr team race with no mechancical issues. We ran my 83 500cr, 83 250xc, 86 510 enduro, and my friends 81 490 Maico.

Let Chris Conway ( Oregon AA rider) start on his dad's 490, came through way up front. From there we had an uneventfull ride, other than my 13 year old grandson coming in twice with leg cramps.

The old Huskies performed flawlessly while our Maico is fighting an airleak/jetting issue.

We also ran a modern team with the same riders, trading off between the new and old.

Sure made the modern bike feel good after a couple of laps on the old stuff.

Highlight: After the race, the winning open AM team captain complained about me blowing by him on one of the old bikes.

Lowlight: Video on Thumpertalk posted by 30expert on his 2011 Husky 125 , reeling me on the 510 and just blowing by me in a tighter section.

Calling out anyone with air cooled bikes that want to see how they do and how you compare to a modern bike/rider.

Next race is the 12hrs of Starvation Ridge, April 30th.

Nice report Scott!

I dont call out anyone at anytime. I once did that and got my ass handed to me by a 10y/o on an 85.

Where's the vid of the 125 pulling you?
