Death Race 4-16-2011

[Dogman]

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.

[MaxPower]

Just curious, who will be coming from the furthest away?

 

[city of angels]

theres going to be a guy coming all the way from seatle

 

[Thud]

I am coming form Spring Lake Michigan. 3k miles

 

[Smoothe]

I have my gear except elbow pads.

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.

See you there,
SoSauty

you know what they say about the mountain...

Im counting down the days and getting excited. How many racers in a heat and how many heats are there?

 

[SoSauty]

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.

 

[Dave31]

I am bringing my Hardrock and it is a daily rider and completely stock except for expansion pipe., I will be lucky to see 35mph on the track.

Change of plans................

[Dave31]

Well there may be another BoXer showing up and I can't let him have all the fun.

 

[Lowandslow]

What type of helmet is required for DR? Does it need to be a motorcycle DOT approved,or is a bike helmet OK?

 

[Dogman]

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.
