Nice report. Beautiful pics. Looks like a great place to ride.

Maybe you boys can tell me, why no Twin Shock class in AHRMA?

I think the answer is there is no Twin Shock class... yet.

The good news is that until then you can pick up the later twin shocks for ridiculously low prices.

Until then the cutoff is 1979... which roughly corresponds with the last decent trials bike, the Bultaco. B)

From what I understand on the East Coast the ITSA is actually more popular for trials than AHRMA. This is probably due to a heavy influence from B&J Racing.

In the Western US, there are a number of decent AHRMA events, including two and even three day marathons. The drawback being the considerable distances that have to be traversed. For example for us to travel to Donner and back it was 1250 miles. With diesel costs where they are it's not cheap to get around.

Both MAVT and ITSA are still regionalized. AHRMA is national. And AHRMA likes to think they are still vintage, only from a certain period.

The challenge with twinshock is that is appears to be catered to the newer twinshocks, thus leaving the older bikes out. AHRMA can be a good venue for the older bikes.

My brother ran in the last MAVT event. Sounded like it was a tad warm.

This is a thorny topic, with perhaps some form of personal interests from various factions. It is nontheless being proposed (yet again) at the AHRMA meeting this weekend at Mid Ohio. From a personal point of view, with rising costs this would swell the ranks of entries and not alter any of the current classes or Championships. I hope for the sake of the sport that the decision goes in the "memberships" favor.
