    Why is it such a problem to let 3 wheelers to race?

    Is it just the legal stuff from the 80'S? You can take o old POS car to the drag strip run 12's and not have power steering or brakes and eveything be old? thats not safe.

    Easy question. Because there have been too many fellow 3 wheeler riders who have come before us that acted foolishly and irresponsibly and created a very negative stereotype as to what type of people 3 wheeler riders are. Sadly those negative stereotypes are still reenforced today, and even worse, those images and videos are being distributed via the internet, and the negative behaviors are being glorified for all to see. Reputations are far more easily destroyed than built.

    Nah, we don't get to have all the fun. We choose to have all the fun. We didnt get anything. We built what we have.
