Cool pics from todays atv rider safety event

[tecat-z]

A friend of mine approached me roughly a month ago and asked me if i were interested in attending a atv safety event with him and national ama amateur A class champion Cody Suggs doing the presentation honors. I have known these guys a long time, and Cody since he was 13. Now at 21 he is an amazing and dedicated talent. Since these people live by me, they know i am a 3wheeler fanatic and love to ride. So i invited T-3 Lopes and Tecate50 to show the rest of the attendes 3wheelers are still around and lots of fun on a track if used properly. All went well until a broken shift return spring ended my day early, but i had lots of fun taking pics of Lopes and T50 battling it out on this sweet sand track. Located only 50 miles from my house, the owners and attendees were loving our bikes as they were a great lesson for all as to where their sport originated from. I talked to the owner about the possibility of holding a race there for 3wheelers only, and he said it would be something he would be very interested in hosting. There were 50-60 people there, and we were greeted to many thumbs up, questions, and smiles. It was a great day for 3wheeler safety perception, and Indiana team green.:naughty:

What a blast....2 stroke Team Green was representing today, and turned some heads! The track was definately outstanding and at times challenging......can't wait to go back!

Other than a couple of mini quads....we were the only ones there keeping it real 2 stroke style! Gotta love the smell of race fuel compiled with some Klotz, had the old school guys sniffing around the area like a pack of bloodhounds! lol

Great job fellas. My son would like a piece of the younger kids on the quads on his trike! Green looks good!

[Gag_Halfront]

So? Don't leave us hanging. Who was faster? Lopes or 50? :D

We weren't really pushing each other out there.....pretty much giving each other some space to have good safe fun! Now on the drag strip is another story all together.....I think I will hold off and see if Lopes will answer that one for me! Doom is back.....SMALLER, louder and faster......lol.

If you guys want to git in some track time next year, it can easily be arranged. This is a track that my friends on quads would race regularly back in 01-02. Place was absolutely packed full of bikes and tons of trx250r's. No factory produced 450's yet. It was an ama sanctioned track untill a few years ago. From what i understand the new owner has not held an actual race since taking over, but is looking into the possibility of doing so again. They have a great starting gate, and all of the necessary equipment to get it back on top. He is not looking to have it endorsed again by the ama, so it will be a weekend practice facility, and hopefully outlaw racing for bikes and quads on a semi regular basis at some point. But as i said, he would get everything in shape if we wanted to try for a 3wheeler only weekend race. This place is perfect for 3wheelers, with it's high percentage of sand, and a bit of loam mixed in. I honistly have never seen it get muddy, so your bikes stay clean. It's nice and wide, with ample area to pass safely too......

Never thought I'd see 3 wheelers at a present day atv rider safety event, very cool. Glad it was well received.

Doom is back.....SMALLER, louder and faster......lol.

Pullin the trigger on the buzz--saw:lol::lol:

Man I was so close to ditching dinner on Sun to come ride with you guys (only an hour away). Would have been fun to throw the Honda in the mix.
I'd love to hook up and ride that track sometime next summer with you guys.
Found some Killer trails up in Baldwin this weekend and a cottage to stay at, will have to plan a weekend tearing up the trails there next year.

Ross..

[Tecate 50]

You are correct RoscoW, pullin the trigger is an understatement.......lol! Little "Doom" acts as a grown up, and tends to beat the heck out of those full grown big boy motors......"Git it Rag" two out of the hole and some feathering of the clutch!
