Looks like April is wide open for my race schedule. As of right now, first race of the year is in March, and then the next two races aren't until May, so I will be free to go do the ebike races in April.

It is almost midnight. I am still wiring up the new 24 fet controller, that I got from Lyen at last weekends race, to my crystalyte 5303. I am dog tired. Race day is tomorrow. Need to prop my eyelids open with tooth picks. Much thanks to Lyen for overnighting connectors and such so I can toss that brick of sensorless controller in the spare parts box. Good for backup, bad for racing. Wish me luck tomorrow that it all holds together. Still haven't had time to address the issue yet of my chain coming off and wedging in the chain guard. May not have time for a test ride either...No time, No time, No time...

Heading to the race. Running late as usual. Wish me luck. I don't think there are going to be too many electrics representing. See ya....

Thanks guy for the wishing me luck. Well I left a long message but my phone is messing up out here in the desert so it didn't post. I have a long ride home ahead of me so I'll post maybe tomorrow. My bike was wicked fast :twisted:. Was racing in the top few. Blew a glass fuse in the first race. That 24 fet controller that I got from Lyen is fast. It jumped me right to the front 2nd or third position from the start, and I was three to four tiered back from the starting line each race. Made a good showing for the e-bikes with the exception of not completing either race. The second race I had melted phase wires In a section that I had adapted for either/or connectors, but the wires were a little smaller gauge. That new controller sure pointed it out to me! Thanks so much to Lyen and JimmieD for overnighting me the controller connectors and the batteries respectively. Without them, I couldn't have raced. Thanks again to Dave who organized and the rest that helped to make this happen. I was the only e-bike racing. ???? If there are any races to show up for, these are it. We get to go head to head with the gassers every race. I would believe that there is footage of the race at motorbicyling.com.

Yahoo, sounds like you really upped the ante since last week. I wondered why you didn't look faster at the grange, and now I get it. Fun to run up front, even for a lap or two!

Thanks Evoforce for your support of Halloween Death Race 2011, really glad you made it out. That bike was fast and if it was not for my youth and my crazy no fear in the corners I am not sure if I would have got around you.

Thank You for coming out and representing the E-Bikes, two thumbs up buddy!

That's badass Evo! I have to say, Evo is representing the Sphere in a big way this year. Can't wait to see you at the Death race bud, you should have all the weak links ironed out by then. We'll have to camp out at the track and get a huge bonfire going with all our dead cells from the previous year. :twisted:
