Gotta tell ya, it was way wierd, wrong, & dangerous... but I like it!
The winning tillers are made out of old Trikes right now. A good ol 200s makes a mean tiller. So if ya ever thing about converting your trike... I'm guess'n that a 250 R tiller would just pick ya up in the "superman" position, all the way down the track! ;)

That is whats most funny, and entertain'n, to watch! They're really just hold'n on & flail'n about down the strip.... Usualy just hang'n and draging their body over the line... Thumb still on that throttle & "in control" though!!?!?!? :p :rolleyes:

They interviewed some toothless girl about it, she said some'n like this "whats better than some good ol redneck fun in the dirt"... :naughty: :rolleyes:
