Death Race 4-16-2011

Nice, we want some good competition from gas bikes. Off the line electric kicks ass, but if we lose voltage later in the race, we can slow down in the last lap. I was wondering though, if you guys had crossed that magic 50 mph line yet.

Man is this gonna be fun this year.

I'm just going to do my best and try not to crash! I might pass one person and that'll be fine for me. I have a cruiser street bike, as you can see, and I like to cruise on it. I'm planning on putting a bigger sproket on too: a 62T from a 56T that I'm running now. I may not have it by race time.

BiMoPed,

Since no one else responded, heard 71 bikes last year, there may be a few that DNF'd during practice and weren't counted. Last April there was 1 e-bike, looks maybe 8 e-bikes this year. I've no sense of those with plans to race and/or show bikes this April, other than the public banter on forums. Hope 'motored bike racing' experiences simplistic pragmatic growth to become a widely enjoyed sport.

My build is proving a bit of a challenge. I may have to settle for 1 speed, just cruise a heat at 35mph.

Well, something fufawed with the edit. Anyway, don't know if I can get my build ready enough other than to enjoy a heat run at 35mph. The chain tensioner is biting my butt.

Can't wait for the DR, bunch of outlaws with some wickedly fast builds.

Yeah Dave! I really wanted to see that boxer run this time. I don't know what dissapointed me more last fall, my dnf or your breakdown in the practice laps.

I hope to get lots of you in my video, probobally won't be in the rear facing cam for long though.

A bicycle helmet is okay but a motorcycle helmet is encouraged.

Don't forget everyone....

Helmet
Gloves
Eye protection
Knee pads
Elbow pads
No short sleeve shirts or shorts and no shoes with open toes.
