To celebrate its 60th anniversary, S&S Cycle is staging a ‘Rumble At The Ranch’ Hooligan Flat Track Race and Party on a new custom laid out track that is being prepared on property adjacent to its facility in Viola, Wisconsin, on September 23rd.
At the site of a former horse racing track that hasn’t been active since the 1930s, the single-day “celebration of internal combustion happiness” will take place on a track that is being prepared by seasoned professionals and featuring a class structure that only the Midwest can pull off (Hooligan Lawnmower Racing anyone?).
Pre-registration is required and in addition to the Hooligan Lawn Tractor class, there is a Hooligan Shootout for 1986 and newer stock framed Twins of at least 750 cc (no dirt bikes, no pros); Margie Smith Invitational/Women’s Race - riders must be 12 years or older but must be 14 or older to ride 450 cc – the bikes must be full framed and have brakes; the Boonie Bike Brawl/Pull Start for 18 year old plus racers of rigid rears with 12-inch wheels and removable or foldable footpegs; and the Pit Bike Pillage/100 cc for riders 14 years or older, racing stock framed 4-strokes up to 125 cc.
All riders must wear boots that at least cover the ankles, gloves, full face helmets, eye protection and long sleeves. No knobbies are allowed and all bikes must have a kill switch - front brake calipers and levers must be removed.
Watch out for more ‘Rumblings’ from the Official Wisconsin Petrol Heads Club soon and more news about other ways that S&S has devised to mark its 60th anniversary.
