Congradulations Fair, i was there and you guys had a close run there for a few laps, it was awesome when you and the blue fox racer were passing each other back and forth until he took that corner wide and ended up in the dirt, leaving you to pull out front, good race, and i must say its kinda funny to see a bunch of motor bikers racing!!!!
someone had to of taken some pictures. I want an avatar of me shredding one of the corners!!! On a tandem bike!!!
Ya sorry man me and my buddy rode out there from 22 and craycroft and we didnt bring any pads, we got out there a little late and had to be all the way over by A mountain by 6:30, but we went through the pits right before the race started, i have a pic of the starting line but i dont know how to post it,

Funny Racing Motor Bikes. Yeah, Less Than 2 Yrs Ago, If Someone Had Told Me I Would Be Happy Riding A Bicycle With a punny little motor on it. I Would Have Run Them Off!!! Who Would Have Thunk It. !! Ron .
The Death race was impressive. I knew these little motors were reliable when ridden at a commuting pace. I had no idea that they could endure race conditions like that.
Watching the tandem take the corners was priceless.

Thank You Ken for the pics
The last pic is Pro rider Jake Holden, he was amazing on his supermoto. I took off my shirt and he autographed my chest

What can I say missed out on another one. One of these days I get to attend this gig. Looked like lots of fun. It would be cool to meet some of the forum members and race. Congrats Fair on your win. Now just sorta do it like Lance Armstrong and let no one win for a long long time Ha Ha ..
Man this post has been running like a marathon...it's not like this was a problem with a tensioner.
I bet you guys did have a blast out there...lucky U didn't bring that to Texas LOL

There are a few that keep asking about the bike and motor
Bike: 23" Specialized RockHopper Comp A1. I cut the seat tube right at the top cross bar so I could at least tipie toe to reach the ground. I could not afford the fancy seat post for it so I used a 1" seat tube off a BMX bike and drilled holes to screw it in place.
36T ThatsDax rear sprocket
Wheels, rear wheel is steal off a junk Murry Mt. Bike and the front wheel is alloy off my J-dog and it's off a old Ross Mt. Bike.
Tires 26X1.9 cyclepros
Motor, Completely stock purchased in 04 or 05...dont remember. It's a old 80cc bushing kings motor with over 8,000 miles on it. Same motor off my Della Cruz cruiser. A freakishly over sized pipe off a 125 or 250cc dirt bike. I cut it apart and did some work to the inside. I ran Amsoil Saber 50:1 and stuck a fresh NGK B6hs and gapped it at .024 and dropped a few mothballs into the fuel lol. Thats my story on the motor and I am sticking to it.
I averaged 22.1mph during the race with a top speed of 33.4mph according to my speedo.

From you of course, worked like a charm. Now I can hang my motor in the closet and not worry
