On August 15, under the header "Racing Sessurection," I wrote:
This year, a new endurance racing series was formed, Moto-ST,
featuring three classes of twin-cylinder racing bikes, all based on
production U.S. motorcycles, and defined by weight and horspower.
The
lowest (and slowest) class requires a maximum of 75 horsepower on
the
race organizer's dyno, and a minimum of 360 pounds on their certified
scale, after the race. Races range from 2 hours to 8 hours, and some
are run by mileage with a time cut-off. Details can be found at
http://www.moto-st.com/
Anyway, after much discussion (mostly centered around age and marital
status) George and I have decided to resurrect the race team as
Screaming Duc Racing (the Flamin' adjective was the subject of a
certain amount of controversy the first time around) for the 2008
racing season. For the first time, we'll not only be a race team,
but we'll also be racing together rather than against one another.
We're going to campaign a Ducati 800 Super Sport, and it will be
prepared (at least the prep that we can't or don't want to do
ourselves) by Donnie Unger at Duc Pond Motorsports in Winchester,
VIrginia.
Should be fun. At our ages, and having been out of competition as
long as we have, we're not going in with any expectations. We just
hope to have fun, put together a professional-LOOKING effort (!), and
enjoy the cameraderie of the track one more time..... Hell, we may
be
the lappers or backmarkers in Moto-ST.... who knows until we get out
there?

So, no, it is NOT vintage racing. That is for OLD guys.
