Hi Westie,

What can one expect to see at the swap meet? It's supposed to  regard bikes 35 years old(and older),but does it? I want to  attend if the guidelines have 'relaxed' (as they have elsewhere) to include vintage Euro and Jap parts and bikes.....

I was there last year and it was more older American stuff, ie Hardly's and Indian's, but anything is welcome. There might not be as much Jap and british stuff as there is down at Mid-ohio, but it is a pretty nice meet overall. Its only $4 bucks for parking and the swap-meet is free admission I think, so at worst, your out $4 bucks and fuel to looks at some old bikes  ;D

Ok, so I finally got the heat race video uploaded. I had to change the format to a different one and it cut the file size in half.

It takes a little bit before the race starts, but it does start eventually.
