i think Mickey needs his own sticky thread on here.
i dont exspect you to even remember the track let alone me but in the mid 90s for practice for sundays local mx races we used to run at hillvalley on saturday nights. (near path valley)
long story short, we were hanging in the pit just waiting for it to start and a truck comes pulling in with a built up mojave in the back. we hardly ever seen kawis at races so we went over to check it out and turns out you get out of the truck with a rider.
i always wanted to know how you even heard about that little old track?
80s......185 atc, Yamaha tri-moto 200, 85 200x with tons of work
90s......89 Suzuki quad racer 250 (raced 250 A class for 6 years, late 90s.. custom framed 250x with long travel shocks and a built 350x motor.... built Honda 110

Well I don't know where I was, but I do remember. I had just built a customers Blaster(don't tell anyone I built a 2 stroke) and he asked me to come up and see him race. I hated going to races and not riding so me and a freind took 2 Mojave out of the shop and followed him for 2 or 3 hour up in the hills somewhere. It took us 5 hours to get home
I believe I won some money that night so it was all good

"Can't", never could do nothing
There's nothing like the sound of screaming 2strokes and the smell of race gas in the air

Hey mike glad you joined. I was just wondering if you could help me. I have a 1985 200x and am looking for a pipe to put on her. You recommend anything?
Hi coe.. care to share some info on this 350 powerd R? looks like the pipe go's down under the cradel.. Could Jimmy catch you on that?![]()
Saw you race jimmy white in phoenix in 85. that race changed my life. Man that was the coolest thing i had ever seen. I just got an 85 tecate and my broyher in law just got an 85 250r. after watchin that race it was on!! M.C. was jumping so far it looked painful. I never saw a 3 wheeler jump that far!
1985 KXT 250 Tecate - kx cylinder, kx ignition, bassani headpipe, answer silencer, v-force reeds, 38mm airstyker carb, +2 franks swinger, raptor rear shock.
1996 YSF240 Blaster - maxxed out!!!
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "HOLY SH-T, what a ride!"
I got an old video of mickey dunlap at the florida national in 85. I dont know what happened to him in the 200 race but him and steve wright were batteling and on the last lap, dunlap slowed way down. Then wright tried to pass him and dunlap almost parked him! it was hilarious. I didnt think a three wheeler could do that! I think his engine locked toward the end cause he dropped way back. Then in the 250's he pulled the holeshot but got red flagged. then on the restart hart totally jumped but didnt get red flagged (go figure)! But it was the most awsome race I'd ever seen. It might have been a crappy track but I thought the racing was awsome. sparks show boated on the last lap of the 200x race and stalled the motor! he was posing for a picture! Quads just cant battle like three wheelers did.
some pics of coe
one at riverside
Hey Mike I have a Dirt Wheels from late 2000 that has an article with you in it. It was a legends race on quads. I will have to scan it in and post it here.
