ABOUT HAMMER & TONGS : the Hammer & Tongs Motocross Series started in 2003 as a spinoff of VDR winter series for the summer months. The philosophy is simple: Incredibly Cool Cheap Easy Racing for Vintage & Evolution Bikes. Each Race is produced & presented by the Track Owner. Our Race Courses are meant to be easy racing- no doubles, whoops or irritating supercross stuff that wouldn't be suitable for an older racing machine. (Matchless, BSA, Greeves, etc.) Hammer & Tongs is autonomous ; We are not run by anyone out of state. We don't require anyone to join a club, or have a Race License. We want to provide an alternative to, and a complement to the other races we have here in the Pacific Northwest. Hammer & Tongs doesn't exclude any bikes from their era- Japanese Bikes are welcome in the Early Vintage Classes for example. • We have a kids XR Class, and a 100cc Class. • We have healthy Classes for Evolution Bikes.

but why is it called Hammer & Tongs?

"to go at it Hammer & Tongs…"

means

"to literally or figuratively fight with all one's resources, with no holds barred, with might and main..."

The blacksmith has become a rarity & a curiosity, but this 17th century expression alluding to his art lives on. It refers of course to the brawny smitty taking
red hot metal from the forge with his long long handled pincers, or tongs, and vigorously beating into shape on the anvil with his hammer.
