Kansas Fair Races August 2nd, 8th & 9th

[radrandy2001]

Kind of short notice but here is some info;

This Friday August 2nd Tonganoxie Kansas

Next Thursday August 8th Gardner Kansas

Next Friday August 9th Emporia Kansas

All tracks will be small ovals this year and on dirt. Space out that right rear tire and come on down for a good time. We have four or five so far but more the merrier. This is the first time 3 Wheelers have been allowed to race at these races in many years. More info and entry forms found at www.KATVA.org

Thanks for the space.

Just a couple weeks away. Is the Emporia race going to be a TT or is it a oval. Also how large is the track?

Same small oval like the above videos. You going to make it?

That's my plan. My son wants to know if bikes are racing also? Also wanted to ask if the big tires will even compete with the cart setups.

Yes they have bike classes. The turnout can be off and on sometimes with the cycle guys for some reason. We will run them if they show up. We have had some Pee Wee cycle kids too Also at this event they will be having the riding lawn mower classes which looks like a lot of fun to me and it also reminds me of the early days of 3 Wheeler racing with no suspension and more home built inventiveness than off the shelve go fast parts. Quads too. As far as big tires VS small tires, that is a tough call. This location tends to have a slightly sandier and slicker dirt that would be more forgiving to the big tires than the clay tracks that are sticky. Bring a tire selection and a air bubble and go from there. Running a stagger with the right rear being taller (more air or a different tire) than the left rear helps a lot. You will get one short practice, a heat race and a main event no matter what and you will have fun either way and like everyone else go home thinking about what you would do differently next year
