Lapping Day Is About A Week Away!

I've gotten tired of the snow and the cold and I am really ready for springtime in the Rockies.  Good fishing weather is just around the corner, the Spring turkey hunt is coming up, and the days are getting just a bit longer.

For some reason, I'm really jazzed about the upcoming racing season.  The bike has new plastic and is awaiting the final transformations - paint / numbers / transponder.  Here's the bike so far:




Gotta love that new plastic smell!

We're still working on the colors for this year but at least the plastics are on and we're getting closer to Lapping Day at the High Plains Raceway.

We've got warm weather coming in so it might be a good time to start painting.  Sunny days and 70 degree temperatures should make the job go quickly.

I've got a few gadgets to play with while our team rider, Roger, has his fun out on the track.  With any luck I'll have Twitter updates and Instagram pictures from the pits on race day.  Sign up to stay in touch with the Geezer Gears Team!


See ya at the track!

March Update!

The Geezer Gears Racing Team have been busy in the off-season.  Our team rider, Roger, has been riding his bicycle and running to get into race shape, the new racing plastic has been installed, and I've been learning new software and hardware to keep you updated as to our hijinks!

We've gotten our tentative Colorado schedule:

May 9th & 10th - High Plains Raceway
May 30th & 31st- High Plains Raceway
June 20th & 21st - Pueblo Motorsports Park
July 11th & 12th - High Plains Raceway
August 8th & 9th - High Plains Raceway
August 29th & 30th - High Plains Raceway
September 19th & 20th - Pikes Peak International Raceway

We are looking at other races in adjoining states (New Mexico, Utah, Kansas, Nebraska, & Wyoming).  We'll keep you all posted as to our additional races but if you are at the Colorado races please stop by our pit & say hi.  We'd love to swap stories & we usually have a few of our own to share!

We are close to a new travel trailer for this year - we are down to two possibilities.  One is in Arizona and the other is in Iowa, so we've got a road trip coming up!

Now that we're officially into Spring it will be race day before you know it!

See ya at the track!
