Calvmx Ahrma 2014 3 Wheeler National

[Poco Loco]

Calvmx will be crowning its fastest 3 wheeler riders on 1/26 at Glen Helen Raceway. The march 15th event is an open invitation to all 3 wheel rider nation wide.

This will be the biggest thing for the 3 wheeled movement the west coast has seen in decades. To call it a national is fine in my book. Its not just another round of racing...

The 16th is Calvmx points race. This is dedication to vintage 3 wheel racing.

Also....You wont find a better track for 3 wheelers anywhere than Cahuilla Creek. So cal weather is tough to beat too.

I have some back peddeling to do and some crow to eat....Looks like there my be a pre 1990 quad class. The more vintage riders, the better.

[Billy Golightly]

...I doubt there will ever be a "national" in the definition of the quad and bike nationals because no one that rides or races three-wheelers could agree enough to make it happen


In any case, you guys look like you are going to have an awesome event there. David - I sent you a PM, give me a shout back when you get a chance.

[Poco Loco]

All pre 1990 quads are welcome too

[David Ham]

REALLY COOL! For those that may have older quads in their stable bring them along. I spoke to Frank from CALVMX and as long as the quad was built before 1990(vintage in this case) it will be raceable. Quad classes will be determined on the day of the 3 wheel National based on the makes/models & riderability at sign ups. Like all CALVMX events, beginners are welcome.

Are front and back number plates required to race? Anything else needed for safety setup on the bike to race?

I thought i read something, somewhere, but dont see it.

new guy here. Thanks.

[manbearpig]

Yes. Front and rear

you'll also need a kill switch. tether style is recommended but a stock is OK.

dont forget your own personal safety gear (helmet, goggles, gloves, mx boots, mx pants and jersey, and chest protector)

Trying to plan for the commute from Yuma to cali for the big race(not nationals). I do not live in Yuma just trying to help out with east coasters getting to the race. If I don't have enough people I will save myself money by going straight to races and down to the dunes.
So with that being said I need anybody interested in going to contact me by march 1st so we can continue with plans. I will be leaving Yuma on Friday March 14th afternoon or evening, no later than 7pm if possible. We will not leave anyone if they are coming in later. The bus will return to Yuma on sunday after races. I have a motor home that will sleep 4 people and an enclosed trailer that can sleep 10 to 12. I have room for all bikes and gear for whom ever wants to go. I will have short showers for people until water runs out but thee maybe water at track. Bring your own bed rolls, clothes and food. I will have bbq.
Dead line for reservations is March 1st so I can make other plans if needed.

Calvmx will release the official announcement on this race very soon. There will be a special guest of honor and ex pro icons in 3 wheeler racing.

Get your gear ready for autographs, this is gonna be cool.

[Poco Loco]

Here it is folks...Pioneer in 3 wheeler racing, Steve "Smitty" Schmidt will be the guest of honor at this event.

3 wheeler factory rider legends Dyno Dean Sundahl and Tommy Gaian will also be present for autographs.

Bring that gear,helmet, trike, anything youd like an autograph on.

Catered lunch provided by Calvmx.

nice work Tom. for so long a top goal of mine along with promoting trikes in general has been to honor the old icons in some way, and when this event sprung up I naturally thought first of my close friend Tom Gaian as being one of the ones to be honored, but I can say that your choice of Smitty fits perfect with this first National as being the honoree, and I would like to thank you in all the behind the scenes groundwork that you have been doing (BY YOURSELF) to make it so for the past couple of months....I really dont expect all the flunks here know Smitty now, I dont even think the admins, owners and 99.9% of the old timers here know him, .....which is an absolute laughing joke considering this a wheeler site//////////// but one things for sure after the event, they will never forget...

hope i made myself clear

[Joseph Farrow]

Smitty is the Godfather of ATC engine building. He was building ATC's when no one knew what they were. Back in the mid 70's. He built both King Dean and Tommy's bikes in the early days.
I really wish I was closer because I know I would not miss this event.

[Mr. Clean]

So little to do and so much time.

[Poco Loco]

Tell me why i should spend my entertainment $ on this event ?

Its $10 to watch you tight wad. Now git up there and have a fun day.
