You guys looked great in round 3. I've covered the date in the vacation book, believe Jeff is in, not sure yet on Michael. If Joe does the filming, do I get double points if I ride my bike one lap then his bike the next? :D

I recall someone saying "all it would have took is one more rider to change the points by almost forty" or something like that. I can't wait to race on July 4th :D

Coming up soon! Looks like a good turnout. If you are coming, please be sure your name is listed in the OTC Forum signup so that we know whether we need two classes.

See you all in the morning! Might be a dust bowl, might be muddy, but either way, starting the day with clean air filter is a really good idea!

LOL! The real kicker is that it was Sam from team PA that put us up by one. Had he not taken you in the over all, you would have beaten Ohio by 3 points!

The scoring was hardly scientific or even fair, but I didn't lose any sleep trying to come up with a new system because the super great thing about racing with you guys is that nobody cares! If it brings a few extra dollars to Earlywine and Smith Rd., and a few extra trikes next time you have a 3 wheeler class there, and a little more appreciation to Joe's video talents, and a few more friends for all of us who know how to ride for fun, and keep the sport positive, everybody comes out a winner!

I look forward to working something out with you guys again in next year's schedule.

:TrikesOwnForSure this was an excellent Series...short but effective. I was bummed not to be able to run the 4th. I had to pick and choose the Holiday I would run before the snow melted, giving Momma and the kids equal time. Ray good bustin chops, KY gots hella good riders..the Berry Bros are great competators as well as ATVscene's coverage/1st 3wheeled race,Supercool. Really look forward to a possible Battle between the States II. Lets Git it ON!!:cool:

Ah, I didn't really care about the scoring. It was just a great opportunity to meet all of you and it was a chance to put on a really good show for everyone else!

Thats why we do it! When you see the way people, show genuine interest and appreciation it makes it all worthwhile! I think the fact that we are just backyard racers running vintage junkers makes it a lot more human and attractive to potential newbies. It will be interesting to see how much participation will grow next year. The way those Berry boy's are reproducing, you'll soon be able to fill a gate with their clan alone! We will be in contact when we start working on our 2013 schedule which is usually in December.
