Micky, I dont recall a 200x at the gates out here yet. There might have been but I missed it. The National my bring some out.

As for the minis, the classes and rules will most likely evolve with sign up. We gotta see if the interest is there.

[Mr. Clean]

I am building a dedicated 200x racer right now!!

[Mr. Clean]

Are you going to have it ready for this? I know you will have race fenders way before hand!

YES!! I hope to have it done by 10/20 minus building a race motor. I will run a stocker with aftermarket exahust and XR carb for now.

[manbearpig]

Just got the Nick 185's motor installed and fired. should be a real runner. nearly rips my hand off just pulling it over. That will be my 200cc class entry.

Just 2 short months away guys... im feelin the crunch already!

[manbearpig]

I take it not too many 200x's show up for these?

And as far as the rules go for ATC 70's it's stock frame only? I'm building one for short track so it's fine with me,but I didn't know if they were allowing suspension?

there have been 3 bikes that have run with us that would qualify for the 200CC class. Tanner brought out his 185S (next race he had a liquid R haha), a guy named Chris showed up with a 1st gen 200x and beat a couple 250's and a 350x, then there was that modified atc70 thing with the liquid cooled CR80 motor and tri z rear end...

Mickey if you bring it, there will be a class to run it in

[David Ham]

Build it and they will come - All 3 wheelers welcome for sure!

What makes this a National race?
1.) it is one race...not a series
2.) it takes place on one track in one State
3.) no qualifiers to make it the best of the best from surrounding States
4.) no points to score other than moto 1&2
5.) a #1 plate given at this event holds zero weight Nationally

The title of National (the way you use it) is like calling a Yugo a Supercar....I just don't get it? Here in Ohio we have never put our series above anyone else or the programs they may run. Yes your historical and now histarical promoter needs to come to grips with reality. Is he offering a cash purse to the top three finishers or even a bumper sticker? Don't get me wrong I have nothing against your race...just the fact you think it's a National when it clearly isn't.

[manbearpig]

still bitter about that Bengals loss i see..

but in all seriousness...

what separates this event from the pine lake atv national (with regard to three wheelers) aside from pine lake having been there since the 60's and attracting thousands of people?

Pine lake is one race, not a series
it takes place on one track, in one state
no qualifiers
no points outside of that event
...and yet you're comfortable calling this a national race, but not CALVMX's

This is being called a "national" because riders will be traveling from across the country to race. This race coincides with the dates for the imperial invasion so it was easier to coordinate and justify coming across the country to race when they were planning on being there for the invasion anyway. Will you be one of the ones traveling out to race? cant knock it until you try it.

Let's just be glad we have the opportunity to even race 3 Wheelers now.

[Tri-Z 250]

To answer the PineLake National spin it has NEVER been promoted as a 3wheeler National. It is however a Quad National with an Invitation(from the land owner) to our beloved 3 wheeled community. The National Quad series travels to many States respectfully and holds a lot of weight. Never has the 3wheeled Ohio community tried to set our invitation above the Quad guys. Well at least in Ohio we know our place and roll as a supporting class of sportsmen.

I do have an open invatation to run this but can't afford to take the time off work. If I under stand you correctly TF is a National and the IceFest is too cause people travel in. That being said then The OTC series must be the Grand Daddy of them all! Know your roll Imperial Dunes is a camp out event with a race for 3wheers 3hrs away. Not exactly a linked event more of an oppurnity to pit East vs West which should be exciting.

hey no publicity is bad publicity. keep up with trying to put down the CALVMX race and it'll keep popping up on the new posts screen.

No need to be condescending. Southern California racers are not putting themselves above someone else. Our race promoter LOVES us and wants to PROMOTE the sport instead of offering us up as a sideshow during the quad race intermissions. I guess we just have a different way of thinking out here. we dont consider ourselves second to the quads because our promoter has supported us as our own sport. CALVMX is not about big dollar sponsorships from big name companies like the quad race promoters are. there are no cash purses with CALVMX. its all about the vintage racing, nothing else. The drive and need to support only what is popular because its what brings in the most profit is not on CALVMX's agenda. That way, they can support whoever they want, sponsor and promote a Three wheeler ONLY event that is open to all races from across the country.



LOOK. just so we're clear, we're having a race with a "national" open invite. it does not fall under the traditional definition of what a quad or dirtbike national race is supposed to be, but how in the beginning stages of a three wheeler racing resurgence are we possibly expected to be able to qualify under your definition? theres only a handful of states racing three wheelers and thus far, there have not been any series that include races out west. OTC has paved the way along with NYTRO and other groups and we have openly extended an invitation to come out and race. you should be embracing that instead of trying to put down the CALVMX national.

I plan on coming down from northern cali. for the race and hit the dunes with you all. Want to meet all the west coast crew.

I met a couple members from 3ww at the gas stations with my R in the back, but looking for active riders to rip it up with. You might know me by my New Hampshire Ride Treads for the past 5 or so years........

Lets ride boys. Life's too short. national, international...who cares..lol.

Getting my 250R ready now for this event.

Ok ManBearPig, I think we're pretty close to being on the same page here. I just want to be clear with you too. I am not taking away from your Invitational Event for the Nation. It shows in great pride you all conduct yourselves in a manor a Promoter is willing to offer special events, time and time again. To call any 3wheeler event a side show is condescending to anyone on the gate. If Bud Fisher considered the 3wheelers as a side show he would run us last gate of the day. Fact is he runs us just before the Pro Quads. Yes the mini mod 3wheeler class has been an intermission event and still lines the fences, just like the A & B classes( of larger trikes). My hopes for you all is continue what you all have started and grow it year after year. That being said if you crown a champion in the future IMO he will be the CALVMX Champion....not a National Champion. I will however recant that statement if any of the former OTC Series Champion comes and out right wins at your Invitational Event. I then would consider them the Fastest man on 3wheels.

I only root for the NFL team my family plays for....Go Phillips! Go Chargers!
