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 three age categories - 30+, 38+, 45+and 50+. 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 Central, we take part in a four race National Series that visits such famous motocross tracks as The Oatfield, Fernley, Hollister Hills GP, Tulare 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 over 180 men and women members, but the four combined chapters have over 1000 racers. We have proven ourselves to be the premier veteran racing club!

Yellow Flag Reminder! At our last race 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.I 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.

Through the Roost

  The Reno national is over and what a memorable weekend.  Snow and sleet over the pass both directions, heavy rain on and off at the track, and a fantastic finish in the sun on Sunday afternoon.  Fernley once again proved to be my favorite track.  She took all the rain thrown at her and we were still able to keep on racing.
  Sunday morning on the short track was a little sloppy, but the second motos on Sunday were awesome.  The track had dried out  and the freshening of the track made the afternoon truly an epic ride.  Hats off to the Reno chapter!  The challenging weather played havoc with their schedule, but they pulled off a great weekend! We have three races on the schedule before the Central Valley national at Tulare.   The estreet race will be with the Oldtimers on a GP version of the long estreet track.  Practice Sunday at 8am.  The Saturday night series will resume at Little Okie on June 28th.  Look for final details soon but expect to be practicing around 5pm.
  We have a great thing going so lets keep the high turnouts coming and hopefully soon all of our races will be gang only!!  The forums are up and running, tons of information is available by reading the posts, or you can ask questions of your fellow gang members, check it out.
