Say you're on a motorcycle. Say that motorcycle is zooming around a concrete track. Say other drivers (many) are attempting to pass you, desperately. There you have the "Timonium Motorcycle Races," a short-track racing event that takes place tomorrow, Saturday and Dec. 21 inside the Cow Palace at the Timonium Fairgrounds. The races are open to riders ages 6 to 60, with heats based on size of motorcycle and riders' age.

You say you're not brave enough to perform such a feat and would much rather just watch the action? That would be just fine, too. Spectators are welcome to come and cheer on the riders.

Food and beverages will be available at the event, which is sponsored jointly by the Cockeysville Optimist Club and the Baltimore County Trail Riders Club.
