Whose coming to the Greatest Motorbicycle Racing on Earth? While quite a few of the regulars attended the first race this year, quite a few didn't.

What has become of Joker Racing, Jake Busey, Big Boy Cycles, msrfan, agk and the Beatles...just to name a few?

There ain't no racing without racers.

Yes, CCW but we will be taking a good look at what it takes
to race it Clockwise in 2016.

You can race in the Midrange class on your 212 cc green hulk if you give the pack a 1 lap lead just like AGK's rider did at our June 2011 race at the Willow go kart track.

Remember that?

Good times!

Yes, I remember that and that sounds just fine......at least I'll be racing someone besides myself.

I think that track would be really funky racing it clockwise.....

A little question for the promoter here.......if myself or one of my sons were to race my 99cc commuter bike, what class would it now fall into?

It has a 99cc 4-stroke Predator engine as you know and it produces maybe 4.5 horsepower. I'm seriously considering bringing it back to the race track, what do you think?

The plan is to divide the Midrange class into two classes that race together but are scored separately.

Your 99cc would be in the lower class along with all the lower powered bikes like Harry's Briggs, Big Boy Cycles, msrfan, Whizzers, etc.
I did hear from Big Boy recently that they will be back to the rsces.

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea. If that class interferes with me racing the big bike, I'll let one of my kids have some fun with it. Should be great fun as always!

This is my Dad's birthday, he'll be 82yrs. old, I hope he will make it to this race as he is my best friend as well as being my Pop's!

Can Chris race my bike in the lower mid range class too? My bike also produces 4.7 hp

Your Dad is a good guy, I hope he makes a race too and takes
a couple of laps on the green hulk.

33 days to the race!

PS:The Willow Springs gate is LOCKED on Friday night at 9pm?
so you need to get there before 9pm or you will have to leave
your car outside the gate.
There are no tie downs built into the pit areas like Grange so you
will need to bring stakes or weights to tie your EZ Up down with.

The #87 bike in the pic above has been transformed to this by
Sarge it's new owner.

kevo · May 1, 2015

Neil I will be there for sure. Will there be a class for me to run my white bike in? Last race I got bumped into some strange class. I think I should have been 5th midrange/ 1st intermediate. Hopefully I'll have my race bike done then. I's the track similar to the grange? Totally flat or small hills?

WONDERING NEIL ????

Is Sarge's frame a Bassman (project 346) or ?????

agk · May 3, 2015

We're bringing a bike out of storage for the May 30th race. It's been a long time and we'd like to get back out on the track.

Blayze will be riding this bike in the unlimited class. Scotto, it sounds like there haven't been very many entries in this class. Please bring the king of unlimited so Blayze has someone to race with!

Hey Shane, I thank you for bringing your Son and the monsta bike so I don't have to race against myself......tell him to go easy on me!

It'll be great seeing you guys again at the track, you've been sorely missed.....see you there for sure

EDIT: I'm thinking of bringing the 99cc for one of my kids to race as well......we shall see

It's a Micargi Royal that was built by Arrow Motorized Cycles.

#98 Nashmoto uses the same frame for his Honda GC 160 Midrange race bike
with a lot of gusseting to stop the frame from flexing.

The Willow Springs Kart track is dead flat, 5/8th mile and 9 turns.
We are racing CCW

here is the track layout.

Sorry, you don't say what the difference is between your
white bike and your race bike.
Are you trying to race in 2 classes?

Sorry Ken, but the cut off is 4.699 HP so you are in the big boy class with #98 and #59.

Chris was leading when he threw away your bike and 1st place in the dicey off camber corner.
Keep it on 2 wheels and who knows if Chris would have held Brian off for the win?
