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 51+. 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 have been voted in for 2009

During the meeting on Tuesday January 13th, the Members and Board Members who attended voted to require transponders for 2009. This will be a transition year and therefore not mandatory. However, transponders will be mandatory for the 2010 year. Go to MyLaps.com to sign up, check your results and lap times. More...

Membership Cards, Race numbers

The Bay Chapter is now providing 2009 Membership cards when you renew your dues. These cards are used to get your Gang discount and any one of our Sponsors in the area. Contact our Race Directors, Jeff Marsh or Martin Hevezi for more details.

You must run your "B", your correct number and background color on all 3 plates to receive race points. Exceptions will only be granted by the Race Director.

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.

June/July

July is upon us and we now have 3 Nationals under our belt.  The competition has been fierce and the camaraderie is the best I have seen in years.  Club members from all 5 chapters are slugging it out on the track and then having a beer together swapping stories in the pits later that evening.  Shortly you will see the standings and probably be surprised at the number of contenders.  Keep going and support the clubs. Nationals are the one way each individual club makes money to support its year round activities to provide these great events.

I would also like to thank every member for supporting the Bay Chapter.  Our numbers have never been stronger and we continue to get new members every month.  People join because of you and your efforts are paying off.  We will continue to have “Gang Only” events with your support.  The race turn out has been fantastic and it is fun to see old friends with new faces in tow.  Don’t forget our Saturday Night series, each class has enjoyed great rider support for a little bar banging action.

That’s it for now, be safe and don’t forget to practice.
