Excellent! Thanks Stevil!!
 
Make sure to plug any West Coast Event in this thread, many folks have set to get email from it. Start a thread in Events for your event, and then drop a link here to trigger email to folks who have set up for that. Otherwise folks may not see your Event as it gets buried in all the regular ES traffic quickly.

It doesn't have to be your event, anything you find of interest to West Coast folks can be listed here.

Ride and Charge Safe!

@Neal,
Is there a link to a well defined rule page?

Bicycle tires only....if so which ones?

Are e-bikes going to ignored at the awards ceremony?

Do i have to buy a bullshit track membership for a one time special event?

Anyway, thanks for keeping us posted.
 
Nah, never in his life did Einstein ever open a poster in a new tab. That's true of most Noble Prize winners.

Can't say I've ever seen the color of confusion. Is that one of the 50 shades of Grey?

No alcohol or drug consumption if you are riding/racing on the track.

FULL FACE DOT rated helmet or better like Snell.

Long pants, no shorts or exposed skin please.

Ankle protecting & supporting footwear or boots.

The pit road speed limit is 5 mph and will be STRICTLY ENFORCED.

A Back Protector and Shoulder Padding is Highly Recommended.

Fire extinguisher is recommended.

********************************************
A DOT helmet is required by California law to ride a
gas powered motorized bicycle or Moped on the streets.
*********************************************
All entries must have functioning pedals.

No Motorcycle or Moped tires.
Bicycle Tires Only.

Unlimited Class is over 12 HP
Water cooled 2 stroke 80cc / 125cc kart motors may race
but won't be scored to win trophies or prizes.

Exceptions may be made to these few rules upon request.
 
Are we sure about that? I read through and it didn't look like it said "no ebikes"... although it does seem implied. Did I miss a line?
 
Anybody else have an alternative to the elbow to elbow racing on kart tracks with other sometimes evenly matched opponents?

No? Anybody?

Dauntless, have you contributed anything to the board that doesn't include pompous nose-thumbing? This time your post came from so far up your own ass that it's content and meaning cannot be deciphered. The word troll comes to mind every time you post something.

Thanks for posting the event Neal, keeping the PAYING Sponsors happy keeps this rare racing series going, can't fault you for listening to your SUPPORTING Sponsors.

if that's the case, why bother posting the event here on this ebike forum (ES) at all? :?

I figure that he is just rubbing in the fact that he won't allow ebikes at his race. I know... rude.
Where do you come up with this stuff?

We always have a few few cool ebikers that get our races.
