Welcome to the Bay Chapter web site.

The Over The Hill Gang, or OTHG is an organization of men and women dedicated to the sport of motocross. OTHG members must be 30 years or older (25 if female). Motocross races and play days are held regularly and classes are divided by skill level. Each motocross rider is ranked by skill level and must race within his or her class. New OTHG members are evaluated for skill level before eligibility to race for points. Points are accumulated and awards are given to the riders with the most points at the end of each year. All events are divided into four age categories - 30+, 38+, 45+and 52+. All skill levels are encouraged to join and women are welcome. We race in the following skill levels: Beginner (real beginners!), Novice, Intermediate, Expert and Master. We race for fun! Our main goal is to promote safety and fairness in veteran motocross racing! In conjunction with our sister chapters - South, Sierra, Reno and Valley, we take part in a five race National Series that visits such famous motocross tracks as Hangtown, Fernley, Tulare, Hollister Hills GP and Glen Helen. Browse through our site for more information on race schedules, tracks and join the fun!
 
The Over The Hill Gang Bay Area Chapter is a motocross club with well over 200 men and women members, but the five combined chapters have over 1000 racers. We have proven ourselves to be the premier veteran racing club!

Transponders are mandatory for all 2010 race events

Yellow Flag Reminder! At one of our races we had an entire class and half of another ignore two yellow flags for two laps!  The appropriate warnings were given and one member was penalized for passing under the yellow flag.   Our club has a strict policy for the yellow flag area.   This is your reminder and warning to obey the yellow flag policy of the OTHG.  Exercising caution in the following rule means to not jump more than is required to safely pass the downed rider, not jumping a 40 foot tabletop!  It is very simple to get wrapped up in your race and want to close on your opponent under a yellow flag, don't do it!  Your safety, and the safety of your fallen gang member, rely on you  to slow dow, hold position, and use caution until you are well clear of the downed rider. We encourage all members to review the bylaws located under the join the gang link on the left side of this page. YELLOW: Means caution, generally due to an unsafe condition or a disabled rider. The yellow flag also indicates this hard and fast rule; HOLD YOUR POSITION, do not pass until you are clear of the danger. Any member who fails to abide by this rule will be penalized 1 lap. The rider will receive the position of a lapped rider.

Well, we are moving right along and have just completed the first National of the year. A great time was had by all, and you guys did a great job of representing the Bay chapter! We are growing exponentially! We had 24 EVAL riders at the Metcalf race! It is awesome to see new faces joining at every event. Please remember that we are a race organization that emphasizes fun and sportsmanship in racing. Remember that inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.

 

We have just finalized the race schedule for the rest of the year. We have a "Sizzling Saturday Night" series planned with racing under the lights! Next on the calendar is the Hollister Hills GP race weekend. We will have practice on Saturday and racing on Sunday. Some of our sponsors have also given us a few items to give away in a free raffle at this event. Come get some practice and racing on the track that our National will be held on in September. 

 

Unfortunately we have had a few injuries this year. Here's hoping all those that have been injured get healed up quickly and back out to the track with us. I think we would all agree that racing with our friends is one of the greatest benefits to racing with the Over The Hill Gang!

 

Get out there and support our local tracks, while improving your skills. Practice doesn't make perfect, but it sure makes you faster!
