New Hampshire Challenge 2010

Time for a change

Please welcome aboard the new MX 101 facility at New England Dragway.

Hosting Round 1 NHC and all Pirate riders, the 10-race series feels big enough in this suck-ass economy.

The series is light but accommodates the racer who wants a championship.

The fair-weather rider, who does not mind passing up a moto mud fest.

How about a racer who just wants a series mix of tracks with realistic travel.

No matter what, you just can’t beat the relaxed laid-back atmosphere of NHC.

Sure, it’s no NESC. They’re serious fast! Not quite the routine of NEMX and not a zillion mini-classes like NEMA.

NHC is refreshing fun.

The Super-cross events at Belmont, well it’s totally different.

It’s a friggin gaming casino! Blackjack, Texas Holdem and video gaming. I am thinking while the kids are resting up, check out the band in the Bluesology Lounge, or perhaps an appetizer nightcap in the restaurant.

Don’t worry, the State of NH sets strict, extremely low wager and guidelines limited to $2.00 or $4.00 bets. That keeps it safe and cool. I’ll fill you in on all the details at practice weekend.

The Lodge wants to give it a shot. So saddle up!

About the "Jolly Roger"

The name "Jolly Roger" goes back at least to Charles Johnson's A General History of the Pyrates, published in 1724. Johnson specifically cites two pirates as having named their flag "Jolly Roger": Bartholomew Roberts in June 1721 and Francis Spriggs in July 1723. While Spriggs and Roberts used the same name for their flags, their flag designs were quite different, suggesting that already "Jolly Roger" was a generic term for black pirate flags rather than a name for any single specific design. Neither Spriggs' nor Roberts' Jolly Roger consisted of a skull and crossbones.

Richard Hawkins, captured by pirates in 1724, reported that the pirates had a black flag bearing the figure of a skeleton stabbing a heart with a spear, which they named "Jolly Roger".

Despite this tale, it is assumed by most that the name Jolly Roger comes from the French words jolie rouge, meaning "pretty red". Supporting this theory is that during the Elizabethan era "Roger", which was derived from the French "rouge", was a slang term for beggars and vagrants who "pretended scholarship" and was also applied to privateers who operated in the English Channel. "Sea Beggars" had been a popular name for Dutch privateers since the 16th century. Another theory states that "Jolly Roger" is an English corruption of "Ali Raja", the name of a Tamil pirate. Yet another theory is that it was taken from a nickname for the devil, "Old Roger". The "jolly" appellation may be derived from the apparent grin of a skull.
