So it ain't '4-wheelin' but they're gonna be blocking off a 2 or 3 mile section of old highway 40 and running motorcycles and shifter karts from the bottom (near Donner Lake) to the top (Ski Ranch), kinda like a 'Pikes Peak' run. Pirate member and resident crazy man Glenn Bonner will be running his 80cc shifter kart as will his buddy Neal. They'll probably be able to hit around 80 or maybe 90 mph. Should be fun to watch. It's both Saturday and Sunday and they should be getting in 4 runs each day.

There is also supposed to be a motorcycle Hill Climb. I love to watch those. For more info, contact Donner Ski Ranch... For those that aren't aware, this is the location of the next big Calrocs event in Sep. They have some awesome rock formations at Donner and they're real excited about having a big turnout so be sure and mark it on your calendar... Check it out this weekend... :D:D:D

Ah, didn't know that... :eek: I hope Jeff put some extra padding on that rollbar, just in case he decides to do another Barrel-roll... :D

It's suposed to be over 100 degrees here in Sacramento this weekend. That in itself should be good enough reason to head up to Donner... And to Tahoe for the boat show if you're into that... Cycle racing, Karts, Hill Climbs and Rock Crawling demo's. Damn, sounds like a full days fun to me...

Hot August Nights is already going down. It started the 3rd. This weekend is usually the biggest, so it should be cool. It's definately worth the trip if you live in CA.

old highway 40 motorcycle dayz is really exciting! theres a hill climb, the paved course glenn is speaking of(like 35 corners in 3 miles or something wicked) with many different classes or carts and motorcycles, a supermotard race, battletrax(real tight and twister course in the parking lot you compete against the clock). i think they still have ysr 50's and 80's dukin it out on a race course to(knees and elbows on the tarmac in the corners) get there if you can, especially since theres rock crawlin too:D i think we payed like $15 to camp, $25 to get in...
