Inside or outside of the track?GG FWIW we camp just shy of the hill at turn two then set up right at the top for watching. Bicycle good, plated toy better.
He's an inveterate Japanese bike guy, but got a deal on a prepped Ducati 900SS, so is racing that in P4. He'll be doing P3 at Shannonville on a heavily modded Suzuki, I think.Enjoy. I wish I could be there. What bike is your friend riding?

I don't have a portable radio that would be convenient for this. Don't care about announcer anyway. Not personally invested in the results anyway. Just having fun watching.Not sure about a list. Forgot to mention a portable radio is good for tuning the announcer. (if you care to hear his chatter)
Wouldn't your phone be able to pick up the broadcast?I don't have a portable radio that would be convenient for this. Don't care about announcer anyway. Not personally invested in the results anyway. Just having fun watching.
The fleet of old black bikes was awesome (Vincent's, Nortons???)

My kid needed a break from bikes so we missed the two morning races.
He also didnt want to ride his bike so I did 16.5 thousand steps walking around. He's 6 so probably a bunch more for him. The trail around the back straight isnt worth the effort. Spent most of the time on the outside of turn 3, some in 2 and 4 and a little in 5.
We got to see some great racing. 82's run from 16th to 2nd in 3 laps was pretty awesome.
Cooney and billyard( ??? ) dicing it up in lots of classes was great to watch. Hopefully he is ok.
Next time send me a message and I will pick up your ticket. It would have been a cheap weekend of fun at double the price. I suspect the absence of cash at the gate was for covid tracking/capacity control.its too bad that the vrra doesn't take good old cash at the door. I don't do any kind of internet involved commerce at all. Shrug. My kids help me out on the net sometimes by taking cash from me; and then keypading away lol
I was hoping, being a vintage organization...
small bikes are a fantastic idea vrra !
I like to sit at moss' corner for viewing. lots (enough) of passing on the entrance to that corner. good view.

The sounds and smells are incredible. More than makes up for the speed Hope it was a good weekend and the kids enjoyed itI don't have a portable radio that would be convenient for this. Don't care about announcer anyway. Not personally invested in the results anyway. Just having fun watching.

Edit:
The fleet of bikes were all Rudges. I'd never heard of them before and someone is flogging a whole team of them. Not fast compared to everything out there with them but still awesome.
Just out of curiosity, where do the modern 400's run. I would imagine P3M or P4-F3 would make a good pairing.
I was also looking at some times on speedhive and noticed that P3H times were similar to what Lang Hindle was running back in the day. Now, the track has changed and tires and better but still....
My friend was behind Tim Ruhl when he went down in the last race. It sounded pretty bad. I just hope is is OK. He's a really nice guy.
They ran with the P3 Superbike Middle with a 2 waved start to let the P3 guys spread out.
The faster modern 400 guys passed the entire field of P3
The slower 400s and fast R3s were in and among the P3 after 8 laps
