Ward #66Q Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: 2 wheeled flat tracker on April 05, 2008, 08:34:45 AM O.K. my 2 wheeled Brethren, I sent all of you a personal e-mail with info for the Auburndale/East Bay double header, if you did not get my e-mail with info about both of those races please send me P.M. and I will add you to the list. I am planning to add a Senior or Super senior class to both of these events if we can get at least 5 entries for the class. I also hope to add a vintage class if we get 5 riders min. PLease spread the word as this is the only way to help this sport grow in Florida.
PLease reply if your planning to attend the April 19/20 events? S.M. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on April 05, 2008, 08:46:51 AM Plan to attend both. Will be my first race since the 70's.
Ward #66Q Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on April 05, 2008, 02:55:29 PM Good Day to you Brady.
Hope the track is coming along. Where on the property is it being built. Far left open area of grass parking area?? Link is satelite view of Ocala Speedway http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=9050+nw+gainesville+road+34482&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=32.38984,81.5625&ie=UTF8&ll=29.282749,-82.188871&spn=0.004351,0.009956&t=h&z=17 would love to see some progress pictures. can t wait. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication Ward #66Q Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: fastrnrik on April 05, 2008, 03:22:31 PM Yep. It's going in the area directly behind the pits.
It's coming along well, considering I haven't had much time to work on it the past couple of weeks. I worked on it all day today until I got rained out :'( I will post a new thread specifically for details of the new track. I will have someone post some progress pictures of the construction. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on April 06, 2008, 08:31:51 AM Ben and I are planning on making Auburdale and are going to try to do East bay, both for the nite and the race. We will do the exhibition as long as it isn't too rough and rutted. Would like to see if we could get more seat time! lol (5 or 6 laps) As far as a vintage class goes, that would be great since we ride 70's era bikes (Ben: Yam TT500; Richard: Hon FT500) and I'm not quite a senior or super senior! lol
By the way, will we be able to camp out on East Bay? It would definitely help keep the cost down. Richard Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: HillKiller on April 06, 2008, 01:30:53 PM Ben and I are planning on making Auburdale and are going to try to do East bay, both for the nite and the race.

It would definitely help keep the cost down. Richard Yes, please tell everyone planning to race camping at Eastbay is free. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on April 06, 2008, 05:15:31 PM Hey Brady/Shawn
Think you will have any practices like you used to? Know of any other tracks that might have some practices? Ward Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: fastrnrik on April 06, 2008, 05:46:46 PM There will be practice days at the Ocala track once it's complete. ;D
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: Devildog on April 07, 2008, 10:55:53 AM I just negotiated a permit extension from the girlfriend and I'll be at both now instead of just Auburndale on the CRF. Aub. will be my 3 rd flat track race ever, and first in almost 2 yrs!
What time do you think we'll be getting done at E Bay? Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: HillKiller on April 07, 2008, 08:54:15 PM I just negotiated a permit extension from the girlfriend and I'll be at both now instead of just Auburndale on the CRF. Aub. will be my 3 rd flat track race ever, and first in almost 2 yrs! Glad to hear you can make it. The show at Eastbay ususally takes about 3 hrs.What time do you think we'll be getting done at E Bay? Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on April 25, 2008, 12:21:36 AM hey guys, me and a few friends and family are starting a vintage racing team,(wach iss racing) were all racing honda 350's from 68 to 74. seems like quit a few friends of mine are interested in flat track racing, so were at it . hope to make new and good friends racing flat track.
was going over the rules the other night and thought that the vintage class should only have air cooled motors and 30 to 50 year old vintage riders. what do you guys think? Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: Orangecycle1 on April 25, 2008, 06:51:53 PM What are the rules? DT frame, CC size? Single/V-Twin? Yamaha TZ750 in a frame...Oh thats water cooled, never mind.
I started on a Honda 350 in a DT frame before job, marriage and kids got in the way. I would be interested. David Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on April 26, 2008, 12:20:23 AM so far the rules are pre 1990 any bike any age over 14. kinda wide open there huh?
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on April 26, 2008, 01:00:26 PM Hey OC1
Loved the XL's during that time. Were you in Florida. I used to love watching Glen Barry and Jon Roberts back then. Mike Gerald at the Dome too. Raced a SL125 all over Fla. Then 250 Yam. Just got back into racing this year . Running vintage class as well. Bring on the friends and family. The more the merrier. Been having a blast. The Brady Bunch....(sorry)........Brady,Rick, Dave, Shawn and am sure more putting on a great show. Ward #66Q Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on April 27, 2008, 11:22:05 AM ;) in the process of getting the hondas ready right now. should have two for ocala and were bringing lots of family and old dirt track racers that may be interested in racing again.
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: ktm54 on April 27, 2008, 09:19:12 PM it will be great to see some more riders this old boys looken forward to sliden sideways there i raced there from 70 / 74 hope to kick some oh you know like goley did a couple weeks ago thank you very much ! :banghead.gif
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: 2 wheeled flat tracker on April 27, 2008, 09:36:36 PM Is it really true? Is Motorcycle fast gut Kurt Brady actually online?????
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on April 28, 2008, 08:23:56 AM does anyone know if there is a standing muffler rule or is it a track thing? do i have to have one ?
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: 2 wheeled flat tracker on April 28, 2008, 09:56:27 AM Standard dirt track megaphones are o.k., most of the vintage bikes are running these.
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on April 28, 2008, 05:50:51 PM is it mandatory to have them and if so where can i get them?
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: flattrack_Ben on April 28, 2008, 06:37:33 PM im not sure if its entirely mandatory to run those, but if you need to get them
you can order them from JEMCO Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on April 28, 2008, 06:39:10 PM Muffler???......Whats that?? I thought that is something you wear when it is cold?
Mine are internal......yea right!!!! :) Ward #66Q Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: flattrack_Ben on April 28, 2008, 06:52:03 PM about the vintage deal, one of the reasons that the age limit is 14 and not 30 is
because theres guys like me, not too many i know, who ride in the vintage class. Im 18 and i ride a 1978 Yamaha TT500 so if the rule gets changed ill only be able to ride in one class, not that bothers me too much lol Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on April 28, 2008, 09:56:04 PM just thought that the vintage class should also have vintage riders! lol!
maby a intermediate class in between expert and amature should be thought about?? hummm Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: fastrnrik on April 28, 2008, 10:07:38 PM No problem. We can adjust motorcycle class structure accordingly as the turnout increases.
"Growing Pains" is a good problem to have. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: flattrack_Ben on April 28, 2008, 10:12:08 PM lol no problem i think im gonna ride amateur from now on anywayz :ThumbsUp.gif
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: Honda85 on May 01, 2008, 04:38:52 PM Any rumors out there about any race dates after the Ocala race. I know there have been problems but its 5/1/08 and 2 races in the book and we know of only one more race. In the past we had tracks and no riders and now we have riders and no races. I think that KTM 54 guy wears his steel shoe around because his left foot is twitchen for something to do!!!!
Pat Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: fastrnrik on May 01, 2008, 05:58:42 PM There are races in the works, and dates should be forthcoming. We have faced every obstacle imagineable in trying to secure dates.
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on May 03, 2008, 09:26:11 AM brady
a friend of mine suggested looking into the zepherhills festival park where they used to have the 98 rock parties.there is a dirt track with bleachers and pits.he is going to get the contact number for me and i will pass it to you.maby we can get a race on there?! Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on May 03, 2008, 09:45:01 AM Zepherhills Track
needs some bikes on it!! Ward #66Q http://zephyrhillsauction.com/photo/vintage_auto_racing_archive http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=2738+Gall+Blvd.++Zephyrhills,+FL+33541&sll=22.277342,-97.890801&sspn=0.008737,0.020084&ie=UTF8&ll=28.196688,-82.19254&spn=0.00208,0.005021&t=h&z=18&iwloc=addr Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: fastrnrik on May 03, 2008, 04:11:12 PM Dave has spoke to them on more than one occasion in the past. Maybe he can explain the situation better.
I know they have no interest in bikes or quads. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on May 03, 2008, 04:56:36 PM Just as well then. Kinda like where my time and my dollar are being spent now. Have had nothing but a blast so far. Just need that new track. Then we can have steady diet of short track....tt.....and the long track, throw in east bay every now and then and I will be good. Gotta build a tt bike.
Ward #66Q Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on May 05, 2008, 08:58:37 AM :H
was wondering where we can practice with the bikes? im over here in the tampa erea and have two bikes for ocala that need shake down runs and practice! east bay is in my back yard and auburndale is 30 minutes away,don't know of any other place to go? will they or anybody else let us practice? Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: fastrnrik on May 05, 2008, 09:33:43 AM Once we get a track operational in Ocala we will resume the regularly scheduled practice days.
Eastbay doesn't have any practice for us that I'm aware of. I was told Auburndale has an open practice on Thursday nights, although I don't know the exact times. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on May 05, 2008, 09:35:35 PM can you give me a number to call for info on auburndales practice?

Ward #66Q Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on May 09, 2008, 02:21:47 PM has anybody checked out volusia speedway park for a flat track race? the ama raced there a few times during bike week and the riders said they loved that track ,real smooth and fast. i raced there before with a enduro car and that track is big,fast,and smooth. would love to flat track there!
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: 2 wheeled flat tracker on May 09, 2008, 02:36:28 PM I raced there this bike week and the track was junk, it had stutter bumps going into 1 and pot holes coming out of 4. I believe the track has potential but it would require someone like Brady to prep it for bikes/quads instead of cars.
S.M. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on May 13, 2008, 05:27:16 PM volusia would be fast if it was smooth though, it has big wide sweeping turns.kinda flat with just a little bit of bank. i'd love to race there if it's preped right!
super nate Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: fastrnrik on May 13, 2008, 07:51:19 PM volusia would be fast if it was smooth though, it has big wide sweeping turns.kinda flat with just a little bit of bank. i'd love to race there if it's preped right! super nate I wouldn't hold my breath for a race at Volusia. First and foremost, they are not interested in allowing a local series like ours to race there. The AMA pays SEVERAL thousand dollars to use that facility during Bike Week, mainly because of its close proximity to Daytona and their ability to draw fans from there. Also, they do very little to nothing to prepare the track. This past year the race promoter had to work on the track. The year before it was so rough several pro riders wouldn't ride on it. Consider Volusia to be a 99.9% no go. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on May 13, 2008, 10:54:33 PM i was looking on karnac.com,searching for dirt tracks,i saw that putnum conty speedway was a 3/8 mile dirt track. looked real nice. also theres bronson,hendry county speedway,southern raceway,etc.
there used to be a dirt track on the north side of lake ocachobie? wonder if it's still runnin? super nate Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: fastrnrik on May 14, 2008, 03:19:12 AM i was looking on karnac.com,searching for dirt tracks,i saw that putnum conty speedway was a 3/8 mile dirt track. looked real nice. also theres bronson,hendry county speedway,southern raceway,etc. there used to be a dirt track on the north side of lake ocachobie? wonder if it's still runnin? super nate I previously had a race lined up at Putnam, but it closed and now has new owners, so now it's time to start over tying to get a race there. Bronson is asphalt Hendry is a definite NO Lake City is a definite NO Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on May 14, 2008, 06:53:37 AM Hey Brady, Do you ever sleep?
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on May 14, 2008, 07:26:43 AM well damn the bad luck! my friend that races used to have a speedway track in new york years ago and said that he used to use video to promote the races.maby someone can shoot a video to send out to these tracks and see if anyone bites!
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: fastrnrik on May 14, 2008, 07:34:35 PM No, I don't sleep a whole lot.
The video resume' is a neat idea. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: DirtyDan on May 14, 2008, 08:45:46 PM I just picked up a new camcorder and plan on taking some video at the races. I'll see if Shawn can bring his helmet cam and maybe we can put a good clip together.
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: HillKiller on May 14, 2008, 10:34:07 PM i was looking on karnac.com,searching for dirt tracks,i saw that putnum conty speedway was a 3/8 mile dirt track. looked real nice. also theres bronson,hendry county speedway,southern raceway,etc. * Hendry County said no but was a real nice guy to talk with. He is extremely worried about risk of injury to riders of quads and bikes. He asked me to call him again in October.there used to be a dirt track on the north side of lake ocachobie? wonder if it's still runnin? super nate *The Okeechobee track closed a few years ago. *Southern Raceway...where's that? I can't remember which one that is...seems like I chased alot of dead ends and that may have been one of them. *DeSoto Speedway-Bradenton, Fl. -rumored to have a 1/4 mile dirt track. I called and talked to the owner there a few weeks ago. If someone is down in that area it would help me out a ton if they could pop in and take a look! Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: fastrnrik on May 14, 2008, 10:37:57 PM According to my book, Desoto is an asphalt track?
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on May 15, 2008, 09:29:00 AM i raced enduro cars at desoto and it is a asphalt track. go to karnac.com and look up tracks,it has every racecar track dirt or otherwise listed.hows east bay coming along?
had an idea--at the end of the day what do you think of having the winners of the motorcycle classes race each other three laps for cash or king of the hill,mad dash for cash?--yea yea the quads could do it too. super nate Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: fastrnrik on May 15, 2008, 09:39:36 AM Are you saying the winners of the Expert, Amateur, Vintage, and Super Senior classes should race each other?
The Expert class rider would obviously be faster than the other three riders. I have previously done something like this a few times for the quads at Thunderbowl, although it wasn't just for the winners. It worked out OK, but an Open class rider won every time. Remind me and we can discuss it at the riders meeting. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: 2 wheeled flat tracker on May 15, 2008, 12:13:00 PM I think we should let Super Nate see the lap time difference between the Expert class and the other classes before we offer this dash for cash.
Don't get me wrong I am not opposed to taking $$$ from my Dad or the rest of my buddies if they really want to sign up??? Man I can't wait until Sat and whoever is on here chatting about rain, they can just get that out there head right now. It is not going to rain S.M. :) Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on May 15, 2008, 02:28:29 PM what you do is line them up slowest to the fastest at 60 feet between them or so.you know stagger start.see what happends. hey it's just a idea?!
super nate Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: fastrnrik on May 15, 2008, 04:17:12 PM Slower riders lined up in front of faster riders?.... Definately not.
I appreciate the ideas though, keep 'em coming. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: 2 wheeled flat tracker on May 15, 2008, 04:38:02 PM Oh this is sounding better, I like this idea, make the fastest guy chase down the less faster guys or make the fastest guy start by facing the wrong direction. This would be very cool for the spectators and every one involved.
I have another idea, We could take the fastest 5 guys on quads and have them trade with the 5 fastest Motorcycle guys and they can race against each other in 2 different races. One race with Motorcycle guys riding quads and another race with the Quad guys riding our Motorcycles? I will volunteer my bike who else is interested? Shawn Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on May 15, 2008, 09:45:59 PM i know it could be done somehow.i don't know about trading nmotorcycles for quads though.i wouldn't want someone else smashin up my bike and i know i would feel very bad if i crashed someone else's quad.
went to auburndale tonight to break in the hondas. everything went great even after i high sided on turn 4. straightend out the bars and ran faster! woo hoo im ready to run on a 3/8 track! see you guys in ocala LORD willing and the creek don't rise super nate Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: Quadracer24 on May 15, 2008, 09:53:46 PM I will go by the DeSoto Speedway on the way to Ocala this weekend. If need be I'll stop and check it out and report what I see when I get to Ocala.
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on May 15, 2008, 10:05:55 PM Shawn, Have you been drinking your 110 octane race fuel instead of putting it in your bike? ;D
Richard Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: 2 wheeled flat tracker on May 16, 2008, 08:54:28 AM How about a "special" 5 lap race and we ride the track backwards???
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on May 16, 2008, 03:44:01 PM Go Fast Turn Right????? I don t think soo. Still learning how to turn left. My steel shoe don t fit my right foot anyway. :)
Ward #66Q Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on May 17, 2008, 12:20:30 AM i think a staggerd start would be the best thing to do! run them three laps.
has anyone thought of having number plates 1 through 5 or 10 for the top riders in each class, top points holders.? super nate Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: DirtyDan on May 18, 2008, 06:40:59 PM Here's videos of the motorcycle finals at Ocala. This was the first time he used the camcorder and was very shaky, but I still want to share them with everyone.

www.cjcracing.org Let me know what y'all think. Tonya Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on May 21, 2008, 06:20:52 AM Great pics
any others? THANKS Ward #66Q Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on May 23, 2008, 05:38:19 AM ARE WE READY TO RUMMMMMBBBLLLLLLE!!!!!!!!!!!
Ward #66Q Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on May 23, 2008, 09:46:22 AM oh ya!! never took the hondas off the trailer from last week, little tune-up stuff check the chains and tires and off we go to webster!! hope these 350's might have a little more for the shorter track, you guys with the big motors are killin us, lol!
id like to see the motorcycle classes structured by cc's not just the any bike rule. what do you guys think?---- (for next year of course) Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: 2 wheeled flat tracker on May 23, 2008, 01:11:00 PM Of course we are open to restructuring the classes but first we need to see 20-30 riders show up and sign up for the same class before we split them.
I think our total rider turnout for Ocala was 62 and most were quads due to the AHRMA national in SC, I hope we have a record attendance for bikes tomorrow maybe we can break the 37 rider record from Auburndale. Please bring as many spectators as possible, there Will be plenty for them to stay busy besides watching us race. S.M. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on May 23, 2008, 02:56:59 PM yep defantly need more bikes to change rules. we should have another rider soon for our team,maby this weekend! we only race honda 350's. might have to actually spend some money on them to make more horsepower to keep up with the big bikes.
ow i actually said spend money! see ya saturday! Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on May 23, 2008, 03:43:57 PM big bikes not always better or faster.......alot work wrestling a big bike around...I feel I will be at a disadvantage this week.......but hey......having too much fun to worry about it.
Ward #66Q Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on May 23, 2008, 06:42:13 PM true true it's mostly the rider! both of our bikes are identical but chuck just has better corner speed than i do, somthin im workin on, but those big bikes kinda pull us on the straights. we decided to do this for fun too, but it's a whole lot more fun when your at least close to the front. looking forward to webster,real curious about the track?
super nate Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on May 23, 2008, 08:53:14 PM Heh heh heh, love those big singles!! Kind of the best of both world's. Not as heavy as a twin and easier to throw around. Still working on the throwing around part. It is fun to be able to pull with just about everybody down the straights. Keep it ssideways!
Richard Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on May 25, 2008, 08:54:02 AM Again....Thanks to ALL for another GREAT race day. Was kinda bummed about the no trophies. Even though I am an old #%& man....was looking forward to my first trophy in over 30 years.....but hey, am TRULY greatful for everything. My dear sister attended her first race also since way back when...she is now hooked again. She took some great pics of almost everyone. approx 1 gig of pics. All high resolution.....not sure how to get this much file size out to everyone. If you e mail me and can handle large files I will send all that I have of you....just need you number and name. If you want everything I have I would be more than happy to burn CD's and mail.
send requests to jonesyancey@tampabay.rr.com Ward #66Q Rick kick'n by butt Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on May 25, 2008, 09:22:42 AM chasing Rick!!!...which is all I do!! :)
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on May 25, 2008, 11:54:07 AM T'was a good day for racing. I've got a load of pics from the bikes. I have a few of the quads though not nearly as many. Ben was doing the shooting and favors the bikes! :)
Richard Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on May 25, 2008, 12:05:04 PM Trying to load more. Hate doing it one at a time though.

For what its worth. There are alot of racers looking to offset some fuel expense and ride together. I got 6 offers to my e mail all from great people. One even willing to drive thru St Pete from Naples on their way to the track. Am sure every area of the state has a few people wanting to race. The more people that go, the better it is for the tracks and the people that work their butt off so that we can have a great time. Just throwing it out there. Hope it sticks Ward #66Q Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: fastrnrik on June 17, 2008, 07:44:25 PM I'm riding up by myself. Someone can ride with me. I have room for a bike or quad in the back of my truck.
This offer is good for anyone except Quad32. I can't drive and fend off his advances at the same time ;D Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on June 18, 2008, 07:30:06 PM unbelievable Brady

Seriously.......Thanks, and to your people Ward Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on June 19, 2008, 07:29:38 AM if it doesn't rain us out we'll be practicing at auburndale tonight for the jasper race. anyone that wants to come out and practice with us is welcome!

Whats the chances for a classified section within our motorcycle/quad racing area that we all post to. I have a little bit of gear that I want to get rid of...some of it dirt cheap....some of it free.....but I want it to go to someone that supports our cause.....just being kinda selfish that way. What I currently have is as follows 1. Like new size large plain white full face Shoei helmet w/cover 2. MX pants large, "Answer" yellow & black 3. Answer Jersey, Large Yellow & black 4. Answer gloves, yellow & black xlarge 5. two piece custom Lancer dirt track leathers, red, white & blue......these are exceptional......has to fit a dam skinny kid though as I was 5'10 around 120 lbs when I wore them 6. Will have additional set of riding gear once I purchase new leathers The custom leathers is the only thing i am really looking for a dollar on......and even then it will be cheap Want to find a home for all this stuff that is taking up space in my garage and help someone out at the same time Ward Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: fastrnrik on June 24, 2008, 10:38:32 PM Yes, Sure thing. That's easy enough to do.
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on July 05, 2008, 08:48:14 AM Starting to notice a little bit of a trend in motorcycle classes. Tampa/St Pete/Clearwater is slowly becoming the dominate region. Last 2 races.....won 1st & 2nd in the expert (Webster), 1st & 2nd in vintage, 1st & 2nd in senior classes....... 1st, 2-2nd & 3rd in amateur.....not sure where the Nelsen guy that won amateur is from. Might have to organize our own St Pete Gang. Might be a little harder to come up with a cool name for Tampa/St Pete/Clearwater....hmmm. Old pros had the Michigan Mafia,
Tampabay ??????? Ward #66Q Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on July 05, 2008, 10:00:31 AM Tampa Bay Bombers?

Alot of names from back in da day are in it. I blasted it on Shawns two wheeler e mail list. If anyone is not on the list or did not receive it from me....and wants it......shoot me an e mail @ jonesyancey@tampabay.rr.com. It is 4.4MB file size pdf. Anyone that raced flat track in Florida in the seventies will know alot of the pictures and names.

#38 nate Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on September 10, 2008, 04:49:00 PM 4
Richard, Ron Cahill (squeezer), Collins and me Collins #30E dropped out after heat 2. Something happen to his motor in heat #2 and he was blowing oil all over me. I ran third right behind Collins the entire heat. I thought something was wrong with my bike with the oil all over it since I also had problems all night with my bike. Exhaust pipe broke right at the exhaust manifold. Had to wire the pipe tight to the frame to keep it from moving. Was shooting a two inch flame out the crack. Lower rear motor mount shaft that also holds on my left foot peg and right brake mounting dam near came off in the second heat. I have to quit being stingy with the loctite. Ward Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on September 10, 2008, 11:11:08 PM wow when it rains it pours-im having all kinds of trouble with the drag bike too. chuck and i are going to try and make the last race of the summer series if we can find the cash to do so.work has been nonexsistant for the last three months.
338 nate Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on September 18, 2008, 08:55:25 AM ;) got the ol hondas out of storage yesterday- they actually fired right up and ran. buzzed them up and down the road just to make sure. everythings loaded for saturday.see ya all there!!

Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on September 19, 2008, 08:43:52 AM ;) i hope so--the more the merryier
it all depends on the droped races too,so we'll see chuck has to do well too to keep second,so we'll both be twistin the cranks out of them! lol #38 nate Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on September 19, 2008, 07:40:57 PM ;) i hope so--the more the merryier it all depends on the droped races too,so we'll see chuck has to do well too to keep second,so we'll both be twistin the cranks out of them! lol #38 nate Well, that's good to know. We'll get to see parts on the track when your twins spit parts on the ground! lol Besides, that single of mine is running real well and is a tough one too! #119 Richard Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on September 19, 2008, 10:11:24 PM ;) i also found a fuel delivery problem that has been fixed, so maby it will fly on the straights now.
well whenever they do explode were probably gonna start racing harleys-got a couple of sportsters im lookin at for next season, then ward will have somthin to follow around lol #38 nate Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on September 20, 2008, 08:52:14 AM ;) i also found a fuel delivery problem that has been fixed, so maby it will fly on the straights now. well whenever they do explode were probably gonna start racing harleys-got a couple of sportsters im lookin at for next season, then ward will have somthin to follow around lol #38 nate mmmmmm........my Yamaha is a 1974.........and if my memory serves me right, in 74 & 75, Yamaha ate Harleys for lunch. SO BRING IT ON!!!!!! Another one that has me worried is Ron (squeezer). He only has a handful of races under his belt and already on my a$$. I've raced every race this season and for me personally.....didn t feel comfortable until about 3 or 4 races ago when I changed my thinking and started running a lower gear. Same thing for Ron I am thinking. 4 or 5 races and a couple more adjustments, I might be dodging his roost of course, you could always slip Brady a few bucks and have him dump a little extra water in turn 3... ;) Ward Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on September 20, 2008, 09:01:38 AM ;) i've been racing harleys for a long time now and i know just how to make them fly so don't freak out if somthin roar by ya lol

Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on October 01, 2008, 10:58:48 PM it was myself,donnie huffman,squeezer,joe clavito,john asque,peter borg in vintage-i believe donnie won with john second joe third, me fourth,peter fith and squeezer sixth. hope thats right!
there were three in amature --33?, candie #4 and someother guy riding joe's bultaco two in over 50--pat K the vintage race was the bomb!! lots of action!! was wondering where you were?? #38 nate Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on October 01, 2008, 11:07:53 PM Maybe all those that raced in Auburndale will show up this Sat. Did you happen to aks if they planned on it?
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on October 02, 2008, 03:03:54 PM well if chuck makes it back from new york before this weekend he said he's goin/ i think john and squeezer are coming -not sure about anyone else.-doesn't look good for the new parts for the hondas showing up in time. might have to cheat to get around richard lol
#38 nate Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on October 02, 2008, 06:30:32 PM I'll be looking to make sure you don't tie an anchor to my bike!

He will be making the race. I know that he will compete in Vintage and possibly Super Senior. Maybe we'll have a decent showing for motorcycles.
Richard. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on October 03, 2008, 09:11:50 AM jayman

Or are you saying you're not that fast? ;D I think I'd be wary, I know I am, of that rubber band snapping and hitting you! rolback1 With weather cooling down and the track having nature water it, it should be quite tacky and give us 2 grooves to run. At least one could hope! lol Richard. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on October 24, 2008, 10:11:35 PM might have to start a fire in a trash can to stay warm?!
Nate, you'll have to bring your own metal trash can. If you were to use one at the track you'd end up with a blob of melted plastic! lol Richard. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on October 25, 2008, 07:55:06 AM ya but it would make nice pretty colors while it was burning!

being a ol drag racer my plan for next years bike week have changed! the all harley drag racing assoc. has canceled the march bike week drag race at gainsville! me and a whole lot of friends have gone to this event every year for the past six years! we have decided to go to the flat track races this time. i believe i heard that there will be a ahrma race at the thunderbowl and the ama race at the municable stadium. if anyone has the dope on whats goin on during bike week let me know. all my rowdy friends need to plan now for the time off. i also think i might get two of them to start racing. thanks for any info nate #38 Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: Fast66071 on December 15, 2008, 06:12:35 PM There will be an AHRMA and an AMA race at Thunderbowl for Bike Week this year. Plus we may have an Outlaw race during Bike Week as well. I don't know all the dates yet. Brady handles all the AMA & AHRMA stuff, but one of us will post the dates as soon as they're finalized.
The AMA usually runs 2 days at Municipal Stadium, 1 or 2 days at Thunderbowl, and 1 or 2 days at Volusia for the Bike Week series. I don't know if Ocala Speedway will be in the mix this year or not? I also heard that AHRMA Bike Week series will be 4 races this year instead of the usual three. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on December 17, 2008, 05:13:14 PM :o well after looking at the requirements to race with ahrma i don't think i can afford it. if brady has a outlaw race with the usual thunderbowl requirements me and chuck will show other than that we;ll be spectaters.
nate#38 Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on December 17, 2008, 05:35:22 PM Depending on where the AMA decides to race, I will do what I can to run it and the outlaw given the chance. Not too keen about running the Barberville half-mile without leathers. And that concrete wall on the front straight looks awfully hard!
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: fastrnrik on December 17, 2008, 07:02:27 PM I'll tell you what I know about Bike Week '09 so far.....
AHRMA is having a 4 race series this year, instead of their usual 3 race series. One of the races will be at Thunderbowl on Wednesday, March 4th. They had originally planned on being at Thunderbowl on the 1st, but when I spoke to Rob on Monday, he changed the date to the 4th. I don't know dates or locations for the other races, but I'm sure they will be on the AHRMA website if they're not already. I can get them from Rob and post them here when they're available. The AMA promoter is still planning the AMA series. I spoke to him yesterday about it. There will be a race at Thunderbowl, probably a TT race, although the date is not yet confirmed. He expressed interest in running at Ocala Speedway again, but the owner of that track is out of town for the holidays and I haven't spoke to him. He also said Volusia was a possibility to be in the series as well, but again I don't know any dates. We didn't talk about it, but I would imagine there will be the races at the Daytona Municipal Stadium like there always are. We have talked about having an Outlaw race at Thunderbowl this year. Shawn McNary and I had a nice one planned for last year, but it didn't work out because we closed. I would like to have one this year. We were thinking of running it on the Friday night at the beginning of Bike Week, but that's not set in stone. If any of you bike guys have any input in the Outlaw race, speak up. Maybe you bike guys could go on the different motorcycle and flat track sites & forums and see what the interest would be. As I get dates or information for any of these races I will post them here and in the forum section of the Thunderbowl website www.thunderbowlspeedwayocala.com Thanks Brady Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on December 20, 2008, 10:09:35 AM chuck and i will defantly be at your outlaw race! but i think it should be on saturday and sunday of the first weekend. run saturday as a practice and heats and sunday as practice and a&b mains. just a thought?!
tryin to replace a whole weekend of drag racing! nate #38 Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on December 20, 2008, 11:55:41 AM Hey Nate
Will you have the Monstor Harley then? Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on December 20, 2008, 06:10:02 PM Yeah Nate, I want to see that monster run. A couple of years ago thee was a guy down for bike week that was running one to break it in for the half-mile at Barberville. They sound loads different than the hawgs on the road! lol
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on December 20, 2008, 08:10:59 PM ;) got the seat pan the other day and am still tryin to figure out what to do with the rear brake. im pretty sure i'll have it ready for bike week. gettin it up to speed will be another thing lol!!
hopefully we can have two vintage classes by then one under 400cc and one over ha ha!! still tweeking the ol hondas haven't quit on them yet. got some new stuff for them the other day too! nate #38 Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on December 23, 2008, 05:09:59 PM ;D motorcycle guys!!! talked to rich at aurburndale today and he's putting on a race on jan. 16th. this is part of the auburndale fair city celebration thing they do every year. he said that if we can get 3 or 4 motorcycle classes comitted to show up , he'll let us race. low gate fee and 100% racer payback.there is going to be radio, tv, and a lot of people there. this would be a perfect time to showcase flat track racing and get more spectaters and riders showing up!!
so give a yell back and or call rich! lets go racing! nate#38 Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: jayman on January 05, 2009, 12:04:33 PM ok two wheelers I need some help.......
A friend of ours who has been a few times to TB currently has a cheap pit bike (125cc 4 stroke) and has been using that for tt racing. His grandfather can get a great deal on a 85cc honda. Will this work better for him on the track? He is 12 and weighs about 135lbs. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on January 05, 2009, 01:57:50 PM ok two wheelers I need some help....... A friend of ours who has been a few times to TB currently has a cheap pit bike (125cc 4 stroke) and has been using that for tt racing. His grandfather can get a great deal on a 85cc honda. Will this work better for him on the track? He is 12 and weighs about 135lbs. Hey Jayman The 125 is better way to go. I started out on Honda 100 & 125 when I was 12. Mine were pumped up bikes and had some horsepower for a 125. Back in my day, the thrill was to kick 2 strokes a$$ since the 4 strokes were the underdog back then. 125 should be fine, 4 stroke is even better for beginner. Just pay attention to how much horsepower you put in the bike. Not too much too soon. It won t take long and he will be begging for more power. Good Luck and look forward to seeing the Honda at the track. If you need any additional help, hit us up. We are all here to help p.s. One of my goals/fantasy is to build a kick a$$ Honda 125 full blown with specialty frame & all. And then sponsor some kid on it. Maybe someday. Thanks Ward Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: jayman on January 05, 2009, 02:21:17 PM the problem is that the 125 is a very small bike (pit bike) and it is not very fast
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on January 05, 2009, 03:09:02 PM I would think it is bigger and faster than the 85cc. I just think the 85 would be too small.
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: jayman on January 05, 2009, 06:38:38 PM This is the style he has now ;D
(http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j37/geno6969/PICT0041.jpg) (I borrowed this from the for sale section ??? ) Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on January 05, 2009, 08:03:35 PM I think the 85cc would be closer to a sized bike like we run. I remember a couple of years ago a kid with the nickname"Flyin Ryan" spanked us badly at Tbowl (it was a 2 smoke too) tuning up for bike-week. That 125 would be a bit weak and short on pumping some life into it. The biggest reason for a 4 stroke over the 2 stroke would be the broad power band. Of course on the 85 he would learn to shift to keep it on the pipe (way too peaky for me. I like the grunt of a big single). Plus it would handle tons better than that put bike.
Just my 2 cents, for what it's worth. Richard. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: jayman on January 05, 2009, 08:05:51 PM I do not know the year of the bike, although he said it looked brand new. Are all 85cc Honda's 2 strokes?
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on January 05, 2009, 08:21:06 PM Is it a CRF or CR?
The CRF is a 4 stroke and the CR a 2 stroke. It could be an older XR which would be a 4 stroke. If it is a CRF or an XR it would be done on power compared to the CR but it would be an excellent beginner bike. What is his riding skill? Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: jayman on January 05, 2009, 08:23:53 PM He seems to be pretty good. He has been the kid racing Merit. Hopefully it is the CR 85. After looking on craigslist I do no believe he is actually getting a good deal. I have found a lot of great deals on those little bikes.
I just wasnt sure if the 85 would be big/fast enough for a 135lb kid Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on January 06, 2009, 09:22:06 AM A CR 85 should tote him around pretty well. There are a couple of kids riding a Honda and a Kawasaki in the peewee class that I believe to be 85's. Those are between that pit-bike and a full sized 'crosser and our flat track bikes, as far as size goes..
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: fastrnrik on January 06, 2009, 08:32:17 PM Buy that kid a quad. I mean, c'mon, haven't you seen how the motorcycle guys turn out when they grow up? It's just scary.... ;D
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: jayman on January 06, 2009, 08:34:32 PM Unfortunately this kid has it in for only 2 wheels ??? I know that there has to be something wrong with him ;D
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on January 07, 2009, 07:20:09 AM At least we don't need training wheels!
Besides, I think you quad guys are the nutty ones considering the acrobatics you have when you wipe out. I think that Thunderbowl track owner got several 10.0's with some 9.8's thrown in when he had his last get off!!

It's just scary.... ;D Yea......we are all old crippled MC racers. Remember the awards day. I honestly noticed that almost every MC recipient, limped up to receive trophy. We can t walk but we can race fast. Quads will be no different though. They just haven t been around long enough yet. Sorry to say. And we were sniffing Blendzall fuel additive back then too. That stuff used to be great. 2 strokes would scream for 2 heats before it seized. Not even sure if that stuff is still around.

Alot of racers have confirmed their attendance. The track is located at 5640 State Road 542 West, Winter Haven, FL 33880 Make sure you enter the gate on the East side of the Speedway and tell the gate attendant that you are there for the Flat Track races and they will let you park on the outside of the front straight away, if you have spectators coming later they will have to park with the rest of the people attending the fair. http://www.auburndalespeedway.com/location.htm Gate entry fee is $6.00 Race entry fee is $30.00 (payout will be determined pending the amount of entry’s per class) I am planning on having 5 classes- Expert, Amateur, Vintage, Super Senior, Pee-Wee Gates open at 4:00 Practice from 5:00-6:30 Riders meeting after practice Racing at 7:00 We are sharing the track with 2 classes of go carts so the program should move along quickly. Please email me with any questions you have. For those of you who have not raced at the track before it is a d-shaped short track with a clay based surface and usually stays very smooth, this is our first time racing at night which will help keep the moisture in the track. Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on January 22, 2009, 09:20:28 PM hey ward watch out the flyin chipmonk has race tires and new lower rear shocks he might have somthin for ya.

Had xrays and mri yesterday. xrays says no broken bones....mri might reveal rotator cuff damage. Results not back yet. Can t lift my arm past half way and can t lift anything. Will be watching at municipal and the tbowl flat tracks
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on February 27, 2009, 10:50:09 PM Ward, Sorry to hear about the trouble healing. Hope that it isn't too bad and take surgery.
On a lighter note, Dirtbagger (John) and I are going to race at the Municipal Stadium tomorrow and Sunday (if it doesn't rain it out). Then with the couple of days I'm not busy, we'll be making sure the bikes are prepped for the Pro/Am on Friday. After the races this weekend, I'll be at Thunderbowl for the AMA TT on Monday and shooting pictures for the AHRMA races on Wed. Looks to be a busy week but the fun factor is going to be in the clouds. Hope to see you guys at the races! Richard.

How did you do up north? Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on May 17, 2009, 05:30:36 PM :o hey richard hope your ok dude!! i know you were trying hard to catch the flyin chipmonk cause i was right behind you. heal up and hair over man see ya at the next race!!
#38 nate Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on May 17, 2009, 06:28:35 PM Nate, I'm bruised up more than anything. Nothing broken or dislocated. Went to the V. A. today and got checked out. They did an ultra-sound on my leg to make sure I had no blood clots. Kind of worried about it since the bike bounced off my left leg (calf and thigh). Left should and upper arm is sore and bruised but should be ready soon. I'll be the first to tell of you that the extra heat from the different layers of protection is well worth it. My jersey has some new holes and abrasions that make it good for wearing around the house wrenching on the bikes.
I want to thank everyone that got me off the track. We don't say it enough, but Rick, Liz and all those that help downed riders and check them out deserve all the kudos we can give them. I don't think I could have stood up by myself. I haven't figured out how I got turned around under the bike like that. I was stuck under it and couldn't pull my leg from under it. I know people thought that I was knocked unconscious but I remember everything and the reason I didn't move initially was to make sure I had stopped sliding. Plus, I was praying, when I heard the bikes coming around me racing, that I would be spared someone's wheel mark. :) Again, thanks for the help people. So you know I am walking around, just a bit slower than normal. Richard. 119 Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on June 02, 2009, 10:22:14 PM hey ward (split vintage?) your not scared of what me and chuck are building are ya? heh heh the ol honda is getting a face lift very soon and we have a frankinbike in the works too! you guys may be seein loud black things fly past ya!

Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on June 03, 2009, 04:57:38 PM say what? im not whining about anything! only thing i've ever said that if the bike count was big enough it would be nice to have a small cc class (125-360) and a large cc class (360-750) in vintage. im having a blast mashing everything i can out of the ol honda. you know both mine and chucks bikes have never had a bolt turned on the engines since 1971 and thats not bad since they only make 33 horsepower!
you guys will be seeing some fast black crazy bikes in the summer series. heh heh #38 nate Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on June 03, 2009, 06:05:42 PM One thing I would be willing to bet money on Nate.....is that you and Chuck have the lowest dollar per horsepower investment of anyone. Even if my bike was pushing twice as much HP....which I don t think it is.......am sure I paid more than twice what either of you paid for your bike.....so in that respect....you and Chuck are Are "Da' Man"
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on June 03, 2009, 06:45:51 PM on the split vintage class thing. I have seen a few series where the split is 0-400 and 401 to open
Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: supervcycle on June 03, 2009, 09:32:35 PM yep that would work if we could get a large turn out of bikes. i know were startin to see a few more show up here and there.
wait till you see chucks frankinbike im building him to ride in the summer series. it's almost done and we only have 250 in it. probably will have around 400 when done. should'nt be building this thing but he wants to go fast! he'll be the flyin chipmonk all right- right through the wall! lol #38 nate Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: stgsali on June 04, 2009, 11:10:40 AM Well you guys have at it. I'll be sitting out this race trying to heal up. The leg is still sore but it is coming along. I had a really deep bruise to my calf muscle and another to the outside of my leg. It would swell sitting down at the computer or standing trying to work on my hot rod.
The shoulder and arm are a different story, though. Moving it wrong is enough to bring on some pain, Ward knows what I am talking about. The mobility is starting to get there, just not in time for this race, maybe the one at Jasper. I'm still trying to work on the bike. It fared pretty well for bouncing on the track. It put several holes in the tank. More glass work. As much as I repairing of the tank I've been doing, you would think I was going into business for myself doing seats and tanks! Anyway, I'll be there for the races and to take some pictures. I am also trying to go through what Eric had taken at the last race, I haven't been able to sit at the computer for any length of time. See ya Saturday, Richard 119 Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: Huffman Racing on June 04, 2009, 11:23:35 PM DAANNNMMMM :o

Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: Rflattrackmatt on June 29, 2009, 05:25:04 PM I always have a great time but I agree something about this last weekend that made it even better. Maybe the great turn out I dont know.
What I can say is that I am proud to race with you guys. I cant tell you how much fun I've had racing Ray week after week. One of you even called it an EPIC battle. I say, just plan fun! It is an honor to race with some one like him. I may miss a few races this month and next due to family vacations and an Aerosmith concert [ got to keep momma happy so I can race ] . Thanks for getting me hooked again. #97 Matt Title: Re: Motorcyle Section Post by: WJDTRI on June 30, 2009, 07:40:48 AM This is why I asked to give her a hugg for me... lol :-* That would also explain why I am always out of milk on Sunday morning.....the least you could do is buy some dam milk once in a while Title: Re: Motorcycle Section Post by: RD 15 on July 06, 2009, 09:33:52 AM Thanks Matt. It's been an a blast racing with you as well. Great Times!!!! I'm sure we have many more great races to come.
It was great to see the turn out we had for the AM Motorcycle class. I hope everyone keeps coming. I won't be at the July race but will be back in August. Hopefully I will have my vintage bike ready. Looking forward to riding in that class as well.

WJ Nate, Don't you know an international Celebrity such as Ward would have the finest caterers they could? I, somehow, don't see him flipping burgers. Title: Re: Motorcycle Section Post by: 2 wheeled flat tracker on December 13, 2009, 07:43:21 AM If you guys actually want to be succesful in organizing a practice day with the most amount of attendees possbile you should start a new thread that has a subject of what you are trying to accomplish, this thread is burried 10 pages deep in the Motorcycle only section and I doubt more than 3-4 people even understand enough about this forum to read on the far right for new post. I'm sure Ward would be happy to send out a blast to the entire contact list as well when you secure or decide on a firm date as we have a more than few people asking for a practice day.
Hey Nate you and Chuck should of been there at the last 2 rounds for the SDTA in Jasper & T-Bowl we had great weather, great racing and great track conditions for both. Shawn ;) Title: Re: Motorcycle Section Post by: WJDTRI on December 13, 2009, 08:02:20 AM 27th is perfect for me. i'll see if chuck want s to go . he may be doing some speedway ice racing in new york those dates. see if ward will do a mass email for us and maby some one will step up with a cookout christmas motorcycle party thinamajig!! nate #38 Looking for a free meal Nate? WJ Nate, Don't you know an international Celebrity such as Ward would have the finest caterers they could? I, somehow, don't see him flipping burgers. glad you recognize!!!!! 8) but.......Shawn already has himself, Ray and I tagged for flip'n burgers in 2010 after the SDTA race series. I may try and sub my part out :) WJ Title: Re: Motorcycle Section Post by: supervcycle on December 13, 2009, 10:03:20 AM we would have been to the last two races if we had some of that desposable income stuff. we also didn't know that they were the last two races. we probably would have gone to the thunderbowl if we knew it was the last race.
as for a practice day,i was just throwing out some ideas to try and get a big crowd. im sure a sdta bbq or somethin would be cool. i'd even chip in on the cost. ward send out a mass email and see who wants to have a after christmas practice/party ride thingamajig, im there! nate#38 chuck and i have some new stuff to try out!! Title: Re: Motorcycle Section Post by: supervcycle on October 11, 2010, 08:02:50 PM :o the beast is coming on the 16th ya'll be carfull hear!
nate#38 Title: Re: Motorcycle Section Post by: martinkates on June 07, 2011, 01:48:47 PM There are many stuff related things you need to select learn from here as many people enjoy indoor sports like bowling; ring skating, table tennis, billiards and snooker. Other find happiness and fun doing outdoor games like football, volleyball, hockey and track and field. Still some others have been engrossed with extreme sports and hobbies like bungee jumping, parachuting, paragliding and even motorcycling. But whether you use your bicycle as a hobby or as a competitive sport, it is always best to know what you need for your motor.
Motorcycle’s accessories, gears, apparel and components should be well studied before you go to your nearest motorcycle center or before you access an online motorcycle center (http://www.motorcyclecenter.com/) site on the internet. We all have to be intelligent enough as to find the best product, engine and component that would suit your needs and wants. If it is for just a hobby, requirements can be minimal, but if it is intended for sports, everything should be scrutinized. Another big factor to consider is your motorcycle tires (http://www.motorcyclecenter.com/l/Motorcycle-Tires/919.html) which at all times should be dependable as the tires are your prime contact to the ground. In this case, we always have to make sure that you car won’t slip just like that and will be moving while anchored on the road for your safety. There are tires which are designed specifically for tracking or for races, while there are those which are just for daily, normal drives and rides. The part that eliminates the reaction gases from your motor’s engine – which is the motorcycle exhausts (http://www.motorcyclecenter.com/l/Exhausts/920.html) should be examined so as to avoid having too much noise or sound and making it very reliable. There are now places where too much noise of the exhausts are prohibited or limited to a minimum and tolerable level. So we better make sure that our exhausts are working just as needed. Black smoke should also be reduced so as to more environment friendly. So whatever kind of motorcycle you need, you just have to smart at all times.
