Design Logic Bikes East Coast race series who's in???

[grindz145]

LAnce has posted the next event date of May 26th.

I am making plans to drive out for it...Grindz you wanna play?

I'd have to figure out how to get a bicycle there for it, but I would definitely be willing to do so. I take my truck off the road for the summer, so unless I can get my ebike in my girlfriends car, it's kind of tricky to actually get a bike down there. The weekend is free though, I'll make every effort to get down there.

ohhh. cool. these seemed a bit faster than ebikes...

so how many total are necessary? will they let us charge? or do we have to bring a generator.

i'm sure i'll be able to drag skippic along (w/ his 24s 9x7 lipo kona).

If things work out... I'll bring you 3 bikes... still not 100% though

[Design Logic Bikes]

I do not know about charging, you might want to bring a generator. just show up and we will have a great time on the track

[Thud]

I have access to a 4KW honda. It will be there.

[GCinDC]

whachu racing thudman? that lil thing in your avatar?

hey DLB, i notice you started another thread. i'm replying here to wake folks up. i'm too busy to read every thread on the forum, unlike troy.

who's bringing what?? time to rally the troops!

i guess i'll race my dh comp oil cooled hs3540 at whatever voltage i haven't decided yet. tho i better decide soon. not sure if it'll be better sticking a MC street tire or running the hookworm. thud, whaddya think?

how many races will we get in, Design Logic? it sounded like we'll go after all the gassers? just one rally? i kinda need to know how much juice to bring/manage.

and i'll have get some gear! i don't think my full face giro is DOT... anyone got any gear they can spare for a wacko from dc?

so far are we:
- Design Logic Bikes
- Thud
- Troy
- GCinDC
- ??

[grindz145]

I have some extra gear for you Greg. At least a helmet. I doubt anything else will fit... I'm only 5'5"

[Thud]

I am bringing the touson bike & prolly my Raglie



she's de-tuned with LRK wound twin 80-85's currently....need to figure out how to make twin controllers fire the motors consistantly....its allways something LOL!

It only go's 50mph.....but it will lift the front wheel at 40 with a throttle rol on.
I'll get some newer pictures this week end....need to re-build the battery box & pretty it up some.

Troy, you find a team to ride with yet or am i picking you up on the ride out?
Some one find out if we can camp at the track....(or in Dbakers back yard LOL)

Team HOBO for the win!

[grindz145]

damn that thing is gorgeous. Anything I bring will inevitably be slow... That is until I get the 2 speed transmission and the Perm mounting on something...

P.S. I think I'm all by myself. If you're down to pick me up, I'm probably in.

[Trackman417]

Maybe next year I'll race with you guys or if there is another race even in August, I'll be there. The major thing I need is a ride down there that can haul my bike..... Toyota camry's aren't the best
Is anyone making some videos this time?

[GCinDC]

thud bully. will it make all the turns? love the ac outlet in the middle!

i'd invite you to crash here but it's 1:40hrs from the race, and i'm thinking of driving up fri eve. i'll look into accommodations and followup via pm.

moonshine is close and busy setting up his rig. i'll see if he's interested? who else???

Thanks for the invite! I just looked at the travel time on google maps... 3 hours.so anything would be good to just cut the time in half.
I can not go anyway, I do not have the money or the free time to travel down there. And with my average bike that tops out at 40mph it wont be worth my while to go, knowing that I wont stand a chance.
Is anyone taking a video of the race this time?

oh yeah

fun thing seems to always be hanging out. not sure what can compete against thud's bully. you never know tho. troy may be racing a 200lb cargo bike, right? would kill us all if we had to race 200 laps.

True that would let me just drive down and check out the competition for next time
The entry fee is only for people who are racing, right?

[Thud]

If your going to show up...may as well bring the bike....or regret not briniging it foever LOL!

My Bully is O-1 in competition....so going fast isn't half of racing anyway....its about fun & not banging yourself up too bad having that fun.

I am sure there is a nominal "gate fee" in addition to the racers fee's.....thats right a sign up too race & a gate fee to watch yourself do it!

Either way..the more the merrier . Just showing up is a good time & you can learn a lot....the pits are open & everyone will be having a good time for the most part...(anyone with a blown engine or crash damage may not be all smiles but everyne knows: Thats Racing.

I am driving all day friday (picking up grindz145 along the way) to get there & it doesn't look like camping is allowed at the race track....need to find a flop house near the track....you get a chance to search around yet G?

Totally, it's all in fun. It's a very short windy track, so who cares? I'll probably switch out my large pack for my 350wh nanotech pack just for good measure. But it's still slow. Maxes out at like 35.

[Trackman417]

Any updates on how the even went?
I'll tell you one thing, up here in northern New Jersey, it looked like a perfect day for racing bikes. Sorry I couldn't make it, I was scheduled for work on Saturday.

[Thud]

I found 1 post about the event on the motored bike forum......another no-show event.
looks like lance(promoter) & one or 2 bikes showed up to ride the track....not enough to make a race.
slowbait fell some where on the track....banged up a shoulder....hurts more the day after as allways.

sad to see such a low turn out, but a holiday weekend for guys not totaly imersed the raceing lifestyle is a streach.

[grindz145]

Thunderdrome ftw

I hope to be getting more powerful setup over the winter. It works right now over the summer, but I want a bigger motor and i need a bigger controller to satisfy it . So hopefully by this time next year I will have a road/ race track warrior. The reason for waiting a year is because I just spent southport on it, and everything works (now anyways). I dont want to spend time over the summer troubleshooting when I can be out riding.

If there is another race event before class starts I'd go just to spectate and have a good time with some good people

[Design Logic Bikes]

The ride went ok, would have been more fun if more people showed up, oh well me and slowbalt had fun
