Hey Dean, will you take paypal for those stickers?

[3WW Star-oldfart]

PayPal for a $1 deal? Come on, a buck in an envelope plus a stamped envelope with your address. I can't make this any easier. Dean

Thanks for everything Dean.

Welcome to the board. I have one question did you do a article on Curtis Sparks 200X the one that was faster than a 250R if you do i would like to hear about how he did it? If you do have it can you email me at wheelyman89@hotmail.com. It would be very much apreciated.

Curtis Spark did an engine for our 200X way back when, and it did run extremely well. Now, this was a desert setup, so things would be a bit different in terms of engine tune, and gearing. During the 1985 Baja 1000, our 200X was able to keep up right along side of Curtis and Wax's 200X, even though we didn't have the flat-slide carb, knive-edged crank, larger cam, and more porting. These 200Xs would beat many 250Rs in the rough and in certain sand washes. But in a drag race, those mighty 250Rs would blow by us!

Later on, Curtis built us a stroker 200X engine, I think was about 240cc. What a monster! We never raced it, since it wasn't legal for SCORE/AATVA. However, in the dunes, look out. We had a lot of fun with it, right up to the day, Honda went out with us to Glamis for some testing. Honda's Tom "blow 'em up" Byan, wanted to take our "X" up Comp Hill. Now, Tom was about 6'-4" 240-lbs+. A giant on a 200X. So, off he goes and we hold our breath. About half-way up, the engine starts to run out of steam, so he down-shifts it and the engine immediately goes to 12-grand! About 15-seconds later, a big boom was heard, the "X" stopped suddenly, and Tom looked down like, "Oh trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro!" Now this was a Honda loaner, so Honda owned it - not us! We rode up to the scene, and all you could see was oil everywhere. The entire front of the engine was blown away, including the front engine mount! The case was cracked everywhere, parts were all over the dunes, smoke was pouring out the top end. It was a real mess. We towed it back to camp, and later on, we tore it apart. The crank was broken in four pieces, the cam was in two, we never did find the piston. We found parts of the transmission inside the silencer. May it rest in pieces.....

Ok I find that very interesting I have an 84 200X so i just wanted to know how that worked. But what is a knive-edged crank?? I was born in 89 but my dad was into 3wheelin pretty big and still has his 185S and the 110 so i dont know much about these magazines i only know from what i read on this site about them. Another question who would make the flat side carb anymore or would i have to go and find one at a garage sale or a swap meet?? Thank you for answering my question.! Its sad to hear about that 200X I bet you guys were realy bummed about that i know i would have been.

Riding ATV's back in the late 70's and 80's was one of the most exciting times of my life. Being invovled in the industry from different avenues gave me an interesting window into one of the most exciting sports I have ever been involved with.

I can truely state that if it wasn't for Dean Kirsten and 3-Wheeling / ATV Sports Magazines my career as a professional ATV rider might never have gotten off the ground.

Thanks Deano!

Sincerely,

Tracey Dickson

All I can say is, "Wow." Tracey, welcome aboard! We had a hell of a team between Tracey, his pops Bob, Tim Orchard (now of OMF), Mike Hallett, Phil Beckman, Bruce Simurda, along with the Driscolls, and many others. The sport was incredible during the mid-eighties, and we were lucikly enough to ride the wave... while it lasted.

You guys out there need to ask Tracey some of your burning questions... he was inside Team Honda ATC!..... Deano
