You need a tether kill switch and there is a maximum rear end width. I camt remember exactly what the width is so i wont post a number, someonr more knowledgable will chime in. You also need to have ball ends on your clutch and front break lever (unbroken levers). All of this stuff is checked at tech and they wont let you race if you dont pass.Originally Posted by rg97
A shorter swingarm is better for tt but you wont notice unless you're near pro level ability.
And a well built 200x is a very capable racer despite what some people think. Bring it out and have some fun. Last year there was a NE EDT race there the weekend of Trikefest, if you dont go to tf you can go get some seat time

Well I run a stock axle and always have cotter pins on my axle nuts so I'm good there. I'm going to have to buy a kill switch
Other stuff (loose/missing bolts, steering head wear) should not be a problem, I mean this bike is going to be fresh from a top to bottom rebuild replacing all bolts with 316 socket head cap screws and any NOS part that I can afford and/or find.
Stock levers did not have ball ends, they just angled off, so do I need to buy new levers?
Thanks for all of the help guys. I would be up a creek with no paddle without your tips n advice

Yes you will need ball ends,working tether kill switch, cotter pins in axle nuts, and pass thru an axle gauge. They have waived the axle max. which I beleive is 50" in the past to a few, me included because 3 wheelers are exhibition only and not a points race but that is no gaurentee. I am going to just drop mine down this year in case. Check the rules somewhere in this link or another for specifics.....

Jeans are fine. Long sleeves required- as are eyeprotection, gloves, boots that cover the ankle, a tether, and pins on the axle nuts. Do yourself a favor and get a chest protector too.

By the time this comes around in late july I'll be 17. I did not see anything on the edtracing (pine lake) website about age requirements/parameters for the 3wheeler races. Want to make sure I'm eligible.
PS, I though that this was a funny quote from their website:Lol!It's sure to be an exciting blast from the past as lots of the original racers from the 1960s will be participating.

Not knowing your background in racing in off-road MX or TT. May I suggest getting your feet wet before you blow into the first Sweeper in top gear with 15 other riders? Go do Smith Rd on Memorial Day and get comfortable with first turns and dropped gates in traffic. You may be a racer already and don't get up tight in the first turn. Smith is an MX but a Great first timers course and would help with side by side traffic racing. You can race at any age, if your under 18 you'll most likely need the parent to co-sign a waiver to enter at any event. I am just suggesting, you do as you see fit. See you at the track.

I'm planning on doing the TT. Vintage B, MAYBE Vintage A. I doubt it. Thanks for the info. I dont mind falling back at the very beginning. I dont have as much accel as other bikes.

250 two stroke 200x it's all relates to the rider and how long you hold it to the first turn. While you may not get off the gate you can catch them in the bottle neck of the inside line by holding it on the outside. Look to the link April in Pa, Breezewood Proving Grounds might be closer to ya. Your class choice is on you and what your comfort level is.
