Memorial Day MX - Smith Road Raceway - Medina, OH

[TimSr]

My favorite 3 wheeling MX track. I know Flyin' Brian is always there to race me in Senior Quad class. Practice runs at 8am- 8:15 for big quads (trikes). Gates open at 6am. Races start at 10:00.

[TimSr]

Time to take attendance. Flyin' Brian and I are permanent fixtures at Smith Rd. TimJr is going, but racing his Blaster. Who else is in?????

[200xcellent]

i would race with you guys if someone could get me into your class

[Derrick Adams]

not going to happen Charlie. Race in woodsman!

I'll be there. Todd has to work that day. (and it's his birthday!)

[200xcellent]

Is there a woodsman class? Would they let me in? I could say its a grizzly motor haha.

[3leggeddog]

woodsman is just a novice class chuck.of course they will let you in,they call you a sand bagger.run the 4 stroke class,and put it on those 450's like i know you can!!

[Derrick Adams]

Brandon, you better not shave till Tuesday!

[TimSr]

Charlie, Woodsman is for newer racers, and thate the class you want. There are no size restrictions. The 4 Stroke class will hand you your rump!

[Mosh]

well i would go,i know excuses excuses. but i am strapped for time and cash before trike fest.so i will be saving my strength and energy and tri-z ,for trikefest.man i want to run so bad,but i cant thrash my z. i am building another z,look out when i do:twisted:

You can always run the banshee and give Charlie's Raptor a run. Banshees arent really at much of a disadvanatge on that track.

[Mosh]

:wondering yeah i know but banshees are so slow!!!:confused: no seriously,my stuff is cleaned and prepped for trike fest,and i am really hurtin for cash.plus the shee has no kill switch on it.actually,the only bike i have a killswitch on,is the tri-z.plus i have a sick ,sick seat on the shee that is waiting for a trike fest unveiling:twisted: oh yeah and some painted plastic.trike fest is our main priority this year.heck,i bought a site at wellsvill and only have been there 2 times:D .trike fest is no. 1 on priorities.

[3leggeddog]

man tim i don't think you have seen charlie ride too much lately.he was smokin all kinds of 450's at haspin,just don't count the boy out!!!


come on mosh,if i am beatin on my garage queen already,you can too.

[200xcellent]

Thanks b, if i enter woodsman i am in it to win it. Crappy Rappy gotta represent!

[TimSr]

Hey, not counting him out at all! He has come a long ways in a short time. He just needs a dozen or so races under his belt before going to 4 stroke class. Most guys run Woodsman for a couple years before moving into the advanced classes. Expect plenty of competition in there. When you start to fidn there isnt enough of it, then its time to bump up a class.

[3leggeddog]

yeah i agree with that too.i just always thought woodsman was kinda a beginner class.maybe i should run it and get spanked,then maybe i will have a little better understanding of the talent in that class.i think you will do fine in either class.

if you would have bought a trike last year,we wouldn't have this issue anyway!!!!,lol

[200xcellent]

haha ya if i just would have hung around you guys a month earlier there would be a 250r in the yamamams place

[TRIKE]

I am interested in checking this track out .I will talk to the wife and see if theres an openeing this weekend to make it.Ill post back as soon as I no. DO I need to buy a CRA license and of course track fees.What wil I be looking at cost wise.Let me no if ya can.Ill try and post back tomorrow nite and have an aswer. I got the 10 hr tune up on the LTR done so its ready for some more riding. Hope I can make it. HAvent had much time to do anything riding wise with all the Baseball practices and games lately. ARF ARF!

[TimSr]

Hey Nate, hope we see you there! This is an outlaw track, no CRA sanction. I cant remember gate fee but its typical, $7 or $8 I think. Race fee is $20 per class. There classes mimick but differ from CRA classes, but Ive seen you ride and youll have no trouble holding your own in 4 stroke. For that matter youre probably old enough for the geezer class, but it proabbly wouldnt be much sport for you to stomp all over a bunch of lame 3 wheelers!

[TRIKE]

Well I hope all are safe and have alot of fun tomorrow.I unfortunately tried my hardest and failed to get all the TO DO's done around the house.I still have much to do. I am very disappointed in not being able to make it but theres plenty more out there to make. Good luck all and win it big!!

[TimSr]

I got finished putting my top end on an hour ago. Seems to run fine. I got her loaded up. Guess Ill break it in at practice in the morning!

[TRIKE]

Well howd the new topend workout TIM? Hope it was a great day and safe for all. Lets hear about it!! Pics?

[Derrick Adams]

:w00t: :TrikesOwn

[Billy Golightly]

Whos that on the KXT right behind Brian??

[chris200x]

Holey Smokes!!!:Bounce

It's like 1986 all over again! :naughty:

Any more :pics: ?

[TRIKE]

Looking good!! Track looked like it was in great shape. WIsh I coulda made it.. 200xcellant did you race the Rappy? HOwd it go if ya did?

[200xcellent]

ya i raced it in the 4 stroke class and did really good. i got 4th the first moto and 5th the second for an overall 3rd.

[TimSr]

This was the best time Ive had at Smith Road in years! This is also the first trike class ever run since 1999. Congratulatrions guys, we are on the at another local track. Hopefully we can keep enough attention on it so that a trike class becomes a permanent fixture there.
TimJr was thrilled to ride in our class, and he really enjoyed mixing it up with Charlie and his 2nd moto replacement in the back. I wish I could have seen it!
One of the other highlights was two kids maybe 8 or 9 years old hanging around after almost everbody had left. They asked each of us to sign the one kids hat, and the other's t-shirt. The I ran back to my truck and found that I had a few 3WW stickers left and gave them each a couple. The one kid asks how much they cost and I told him they were a gift for 3 wheeler fans. These kids are saying "wow, these are sooooo cool!" It was priceless.

[200xcellent]

Ya the threewheelers were definatly crowd favorites. They were the only class to get cheers and applause before and during the race! There were so many battles going on in it too. The first moto had Tim Sr., Derrick and Mark all mixing it up for 3rd-5th while i tried my hardest to hold off Tim Jr. If i would have been on a 200 instead of the 350 i would have been smoked! The next race was even better. Brandon and mark were scrapping for 2nd for 2 laps and derrick and Tim sr were trading spots for 4th. Finally on the 3rd lap brandon moved into 2nd and was on flyin bryans heels, actually tire to tire in at least one turn. Trikefest races are gonna be INSANE!

[200xcellent]

Whos that on the KXT right behind Brian??

Thats Mark (GarageBoy34).

[TRIKE]

Well it all sounds sweet as heck. Glad it was so much fun.SOunds like your topend worked out TIM. Thats great. Gonna be alot of fun whatching you guys race at HAspin for sure.Lot of talent out there on the trikes. Hopefully things work out weather wise for us. Awesome placement 200xcellent. NIce job on the rappy.

[seadoo650]

So B got 2nd. Awsome job Brandon. You're gonna be a force to reckon with at TF. What were you riding?? I don't see the black r. If you were on your 350x and kept up with Brian then he better watchout at TF with you on the Black Beauty. Let's see a list of place finishes. I see Derrick in second. Is that going into the first turn from the start? Need more info and PICS guys. You gotta realize us "armchair racers" live through you.

[200xcellent]

Thats the pic that we bought from mike. Brandon got 2nd both motos, first one was on the 350 and the second was on derricks r.

Also Mike (photographer from Sunset Ramblers) was working on a website to post pics on to sell from, but I cant find the card he gave me. I dont know if he has anything up yet or not. He took teh one Derrick posted, and his are the best quality shots of any trike photographer I have ever seen.

[3leggeddog]

there are a few jumps at smith road,a big downhill,a double,30 footer maybe,1 small whoop/double/tripple section.it's an awesome place to race.the take really good care of the track,and love us trikers!!!
