At the regularly scheduled Malvern MX races on July 25th the Ohio Trike Crew will be bringing a handful of three wheeler riders to run in a designated 3 wheeler class for the first time ever! I can remember a half dozen years ago, when I was racing my quad at Malvern, and thinking “what a great 3 wheeler track this would be”. Of course, my inquiry was met with a very swift “we don’t allow them things in here!” back then. What a difference today, when we felt compelled to accept a friendly personal invitation from race promoter Josh McFadden!
We would be happy to have you join us at Malvern! This is not a cut throat class of serious racers that will run you over for a plaque and some points. There are some very talented riders in the group, but we race for fun and exhibition, and deliberate contact is frowned upon. Its one of the safer classes to race in. This is a CRA sanctioned event but an unsanctioned class, so they will not require CRA cards for those racing in trike classes. You don’t need a 250 pinger, or a custom built 450 thumper to get on the track and have a great time. We often have riders sporting a 200X.
As it looks now, there will be just one 3 wheeler class, but if turnout justifies it, we could easily have an “A” and “B” class (based strictly on rider ability and not machine size). It’s helpful in setting up classes if I know you are coming. If you are interested in running, or need more information you can email me. If you would like to see video of OTC in action, go to youtube and search “OTC MX”.
Malvern is the most popular MX track for quads in the CRA, and they are a lot more stringent about compliance with their safety requirements. They REQUIRE working tether kills switch, helmet, eye protection, long pants, long sleeves, and boots that cover the ankles. I’m not sure about gloves. They have turned people away for non-compliance. As with all OTC events, MX racing is a family sport. There will be many young children around. Please adjust your vocabulary to those within earshot of you. The No Pit Riding rule at Malvern is strictly enforced. No alcohol before racing.
