I am going to try and put together a china kit for the event, question do I have to have the pedal crank still on the bike or would it be ok to throw it away. I have not been to Willow Springs in at least 40 years. I will follow the thread and see if I can make it. Have fun, Dave

Hi Egor
When are you coming to our Long Beach rides?
You just missed a good one at El Dorado park.....

Just show up, crank or no crank, there's not going to be a lot of rules.

OK to come and just cruise on the track with no pressure, you don't
have to be a racer.

See you there.

I need to get on a mailing list or something, been busy lately and need to have some fun. I would like to see the guys in my neck of the woods. Every once in a while ill see an MB but not often. I used to work in the park shop at El Dorado, till they closed it. Im now at the waterfront. Have fun, Dave
PS: Any pics of El Dorado?

Just read the Events forum once in a while, there will be more OC rides.

Yes, lots of pics and a few videos.

Dave, I am counting on you and a bunch of guys from Arizona
making it to the race.

We will roll the red carpet out for you. lol
There is free tent / car camping at the track and motels nearby.
Man, 400 miles one way...



That may be more than I can arrange, but you never know.
I have the date circled on my calendar and see what I can do.

I might bring my grandson. He wants to race real bad, but he weighs 260 or so. The bike still pulls him okay and tops out around 45. Should be a fun day no matter what happens. Looks like you're getting a lot of entries.

45 mph would be fast for the straights on that Go Kart track.
Will be going out to the track soon to check it out, maybe next week.
Do you want to go?
Is this the bike that your grandson will be racing? I guess your 8 hp? B & S would be in the unlimited class.

Are you bringing any of your other masterpieces?

The yellow bike is a 5hp that he'll probably be riding. The 8hp is not ready. It's rideable but the frame is just tacked together and I still have a lot of finish work to do. What day are you going to the track? I'm working all week.

Can't get any Go Kart track time on the weekend so will be going
next Thursday or Friday. Take a day off work, you gotta have some sick or
"personal" days. LOL

Just 50 more days to the event....

Need a ride from Ontario Calif. Anyone in the Area? Of course will chip in for Gas.
Just don't think my old bones will do well in the back of a truck.
Going to try and bring the boxed bike as luggage from AZ and just buy a tank there.
what do you think?
