If I did apply myself,I might actually be good.

I used to get that comment on my report cards in school alot

[Tri-Z 250]

Mosh,

Race us jack holes ..............

Exactly, well put

[keister]

Mosh,
I'm done ribbing you..... for now. I'm just glad to see you out there on the track. Next up: Smith Road. If we get a few more racers, maybe I can drop down and collect a C class win.

With enough people you would almost be guaranteed a D class podium spot!

Nah - just kidding bro - I am just glad to see you out there on the track with the OTC - you are NOT and armchair racer like so many others hiding behind their keyboards talking about how good they are on the track they never go to!

Ill 2nd that! Once you make it to the starting gate, there's nothing else to prove. Ive got more respect for the mostly non-racer that occasionally goes out there to represent, than the hard core guys, because I know how much harder it is. That last half of the B class takes more guts than being a front runner. All who choose to go out there to portray a good image to the non-trike public are doing a great service for everyone who would like to see the image of trikes legitimized. As I told TimJr when he would run fair races on his 200X against Derrick, Brandon, and me: "You beat couple thousand trikers who never showed up." Nobody ever impressed anybody or won a trophy for critiquing real racers on youtube.

I remember my first race, I was terrifed and ole Sr told me to show up and try it out.

Billy rolled me first corner and ive never looked back! that reminds me, I gotta roll billy back sometime..... haha

Sounds like you may get your chance this year at TF! I think Billy may want to climb off his golf cart and spend some time on his Tri-Z though. Going to be hard to corner that Laeger Quad of his in the trike races after we take one of the front wheels off!

[Derrick Adams]

I am a front runner for B class, or a last place A class rider...
Which way do I go?

I race Maybe 3 times a year at the most,So there is plenty of chances for someone else to get the win thru the rest of the year.

The only thing I am good at is getting the holeshot..After that I get smoked.

My personal opinion is that you should stay in B class, for 2 reasons.

1) I think that you have just the right skill level for the racing in that class and you are fast enough that it gives the other riders great competition and/or someone to strive to beat. I can't tell you how much Brandon and Brian motivated me to ride harder, just because I thought I should be able to run with them.

2) If you are in the A class, you may get the notion to actually try to run hard, and when you do that it causes me fits. LOL. I am a front runner in that class and I can say from experience that I have had more than a few GREAT races with Rob right beside me... and then in front of me... and then behind me... and then back in front of me!

Rob is no sand bagger, merely a recreational racer that goes out to enjoy himself. BUT, I will say that he has alot of controlled potential to be VERY FAST if he ever wants to be. Reminds me alot of Ed on his Tecate.

Another one of these guys to watch out for is Max. I've seen that guy do some amazing things on a trike and I feel its only a matter of time before he gets tired of holding back and comes up to the front of the pack in a MAJOR way.


JOSH. I am NOT retired from three wheeler racing. Far from it. Just taking the year off to get my head and wallet straight. I'll be back next year and ready to go back to battle.

[3leggeddog]

there may be more then one of the O.G.'s coming out of retirement...I think you boys forget about the 3leggeddog anymore.....

[Mosh]

Thanks D... You Nailed it!
I just want to ride...LOL.... A,B,C, Dont matter to me.

If I show up to a race...Just line me up..ANYWHERE

Even when I race, I run 80% of my full potential. I just dont care to push myself beyond that. Give me ten less years of age,and I might run harder.

The last thing I ever want to do, is push myself, or anyone else on the track beyond a saftey limit.

And yes! Get out of retirement Brandon

Naw it's okay. He's scared of three wheelers now. He won't be much of a worry.

or the 3leggeddog forgot about us. hmmmmm........

[Kintore]

HELL YEA BOYS!

True you haven't seen me ride or gate up. I'm not trying to impress anyone with my spelling or impressions of a race...If all goes well from this point out in the build. I see no problems being at Smith Rd #1 round.....Heck I plan to run the track prior if they still run the Weds open practices for setup and shakedown runs.

I agree with Sr. NO DOUBT getting to the line is a battle in itself(9 weeks away). The joy of riding with the rest of you like minded individuals a pleasure. I'm not out to win a trophey anymore than wanting to get away from the inlaws on the Holidays. You might see me on the line...I'll be in the bells and whistles MX outfit

It's nice to see all who can join(spectator/pitcrew or rider) make the races...as far as a Second Wave of trike racing goes: Heck what ever is bringing more partisipation to these events lets keep it up....IMO it's just good folks having fun together. The boards allowing us to bond on a more unified level instead of strictly showing up to a track and racing.
