thanks for checking specht's video. my engine on the pink bike was a 146cc 57 bore 57 stroke, but in practice my #8 bike is a 124cc 54 bore 54 stroker . the key is to have a good setup and good rider like what specht did .
Looks like you guys had a great time, and did a great show! I hope we get to meet some of you this weekend at MX. Just curious as to how many people came up to you guys and thought you were us?![]()

i did the video work and these things just haul. from what i here they were 1 second off from the money quads.
rex racing, i sent you a pm and need some help.
i wanted to get a pic of your orange 70 but it was gone when i went over there.
Would you allow a suspension 70 frame or do they have to be stock frames?
Looks like great fun and you guys really have those trikes cookin.

There isn't really any rules any more . All I can think of is it has to be a atc 70 style bike w/a laydown engine . These all started out just to have fun and turned in to braging rights that is all it really was this is the first time I think we raced them at a public racing event it has always been a back yard event that just evolved in to what you saw.
what are some dates and details for some more 70 racing?

As of now no more race's I know of.
big specht, Would you be interested in planning a joint venture with OTC? Where are most of your guys from? Are you pretty much flat track only? We have a promoter that does weekends at flat track, and Sunday MX with camping. Im sure we could turn out a few mini flat trackers from our group as well.
big specht, the track TimSr. is talking about is Sunset Ramblers, in Galion, Ohio. One of our track members was there that day and video taped your runs. He wanted me to invite you all down to their flat track for a night of racing this summer. Their track is layed out nice for minis. Fairly short straights and high banked turns.
If you guys collectively decide to attend, we will schedule a 3 wheeler weekend at that time and make sure we have some big bikes there to run another 3 wheeler class as well. If you stick around you can watch some 3 wheeler MX on sunday too! They have overnight camping available.
He wanted me to tell you that he really enjoyed watching you run and also that your lap times were only eight tenths of a second off the 450 quads!!!

Some really neat ideas on that 70. I commend you for your ingenuity. I have some mods like your rear axle on a bigger trike. I'm liking your engine mods too. You need to get some of your buddys to post their 70s.

Thanks for the pictures Jason. I'm building my 70 using as much Honda stuff as possible and making a few things and trying to stay as far away from chinese parts as possible .
P.S. I'm gonna want in on this flat track stuff when mine is done.![]()
