What's it all about?

If you ask 10 different people you may get 10 different answers. Vintage Hare Scrambles is becoming an accepted sport around the world and people are involved for different reasons. Some say it is cheap racing. Some say it is more laid back and less intense. Some say it is easier to be competitive. Others say it is a chance to use a $6,000 machine that was only for show a short time ago. They all say it is more fun.

All these reasons are only  by-products of the original concept. That concept is, first of all, to preserve, use and show the machines. Next, we are trying to preserve the feel, sight and sound of what it was really like riding bikes of this by-gone era.

With the advantage of hindsight, we try to protect the machines that were made obsolete by technology and changing times. The bikes are the stars, we want to see them used and enjoyed the way they were intended. Not over restored, not modernized, but preserved and raced.
