Thanks for the video's Andy. Going to watch them soon and put
them on Facebook.

I know that nashmoto bought his photographer friend Ann again this
time but it's only Monday Andy. :)
Debbie with the Bigboy's was taking pics too.

I just made this Big Boy Cycles pic the cover photo on
https://www.facebook.com/MotorizedBicycleRacing

That is just so damn awesome and Timm and Roland are
so unassuming about their accomplishment.

Thank you Timm and Roland for your long trek from far
north to bring such excitement to the races!

Big Boy Cycles rocks! :D

So as a new guy what did you think?

No big deal right?
Are you going to get on the track next time in the 2 Stroke Amateur Class?

Lots of new racers in that class and all the finishers won a prize!

No big deal at all.Everyone is friendly and willing to give you feed back on how you can make you bike faster.We should be able to get on the track next time forsure.We happen to arrive late but didnt regret going to see wonderful built bikes and super close finishes.

Man my vids turned out great with my chesty cam...........I've got the best footage of my front tire, gas tank and top tube, not too mention the track surface going by at a bazillion mph! I might post a collab just for kicks but I really need to figure out how to get the right angle for the chest mounted cam.....I'm bummed about that.

On the other hand, I don't think you could have had anymore fun than I had.......the bikes and myself were on fire! Thank you very much Neil for putting on this stellar event! Great time had by all and it was a pleasure gathering with the old and new faces as always......thanks for attending. Next race I plan on being well prepared so watch out!

#3 yeah, the green machine dnut
 
Here's a pic of me pushing Jeff's monster bike across the finish line after it threw the chain.

Ya I know the feeling, I did the same thing last year when Steve used the chesty harness.
For now on Im using my helmet mount.

Im glad everyone had a great time and I wished I could have been there. I heard that my GX120 took 1st place in the mid class with my brother as the pilot!! :D

Thanks for the compliments, Niel. We had a great time at this event, even though Friday was the first day the turbo bike had actually turned a wheel and had a few bugs to work out. The charging system was the biggest fault, causing our tuning efforts to go sour. It was fun checking out all the bikes and talking to all the people having a good time in this whacky sport/hobby/industry. This is really neat stuff!! Looking forward to the October race (can't afford to come down more than twice a year). The old Land Rover drug the trailer back to Placerville just fine on 5 1/2 cylinders, but 400 bucks in gas every trip is a ball breaker. Oh, and I just realized why that lanky guy in the background looks familiar... didn't realize I got caught in the pic!

Timm.

thanks andy for the great videos of race action and
jen for getting the feel for all the racers and machines and track

Ouch! Sorry to hear that Larry, hope it heals fast. It was nice meeting you at the race and your bike is a top notch beauty! I really dig Helmutt's frames.

meano, that sucks. i didn't talk to you guys much, but if you noticed me with my cast, i was also nursing 3 broken ribs and a seperated shoulder from a 40mph OTB wreck on my bike from 3 weeks prior to the race.

i can feel your pain...

loved your bikes. amazing work! i've been researching those rims online for a future build, but didn't know how they'd look till i saw your bikes. now i know they'll work so i can go ahead with my plans.

thanks, and heal up soon! i've got another month of vicodin and netflix til i'm riding again...

You meet the nicest people at the race track.
Great to meet you and Richard and not only see your
outstanding machines but get to ride it!

Here's to a fast pain free recovery until you can get back
on the bike.
I guess there isn't much you can do for a cracked bone shoulder
except put it in a sling and let it heal?
