Still haven't left Arizona yet. Too much to do.... Maybe get out of here in two to three hours. Have to google and find out where and how far away this is from me. See you there hopefully before midnight.

ROFL @ Lukes fine tuning, i know you hate frocks mate but jumping on them isn't going to damage them unfortunately, you need to hit em with the gas axe or angle grinder...or just put them on a dyno they seem to fail
pretty quick then too
What do the stink bikes have to say about your pace Farfle? did you tellz them your bike
is slow compared to whats on the way hahaha...

I just got back from the track so here are some teasers....
PaulD won the Ultimate race and showed those stink bikes why ebikes are the future!
liveforphysics was beaten fair and square by a 17 year old chick on a frock motored ebike.
Thud and etard didn't finish their bikes but still made it to the track at the end of the day.
Jay64 was late too and only ran in one race.

That fat tire bike, Hanebrink or something like that?
Nice Photos!
Nice Photos!
Yes,
Dan Hanebrink sporting some classy racing approved slicks! E-bikes made the leap at Grange. Heard Paul_D and Aidan recorded some 50mph straights. Luke(LFP) rumored upper 60's when his machine was running clean.
All bikes stepped up the race pace. Fastest lap turned by #81 EGK, a huge 196cc 4 stroke which DNF'ed. #74Chris, a beautiful pedalless mo-ped with fairing turned hot 1m19sec laps with Paul_D a sizzling 1m21.5sec. Paul's time is remarkable considering he was the 1st legit sub 11hp bicycle, closer to sub 8hp (sub 5hp? really?). Farfle's X-5300 with flyweight jockey Aidan aided the e s' in capturing the 2nd slot. Luke was both fast and slow, I'm sure he'll have more to say. Zombiess#113 arrived late, jumped in the back of the 2 strokes and cruised up to 7th, then later crashed out of contention. Poor SoSauty arrived not having ridden or completing his rebuild. Embarrassingly burned a 20amp hr lipo pack on the tarmack. His day concluded by frying his new Astro3220, 14 laps turned at about $100 a lap for him that day. Congrats to Ed evoforce who finished with 2 inflated tires and Dan for earning respect on pavement with his all terrain 2 wheeler. 2 cheers forJay64 pulling in at the last minute with a running rig.
Thudster(Todd) and Etard(Dave) had 1 hurdle to many to getting their bikes together. Guess they'll have a go at it next race season. We've had 1, then 4, then 7, then 9, and 10 e-bikes for Grange with a few other interested builders that didn't pull it together in time. So, the sport on the e-side is growing. Oh Boy, the barn will be on fire come April 2012 Death Race
The track was fantastic My favorite, the mid-length straight, 350ft level, the next 50ft rises 4ft, then the last 50ft drops you 4ft into an off camber hairpin. You can't see the hairpin you're braking for until it's late Sticky, down & up, sweeping turns, tight pins, and a honking long 925ft uphill straight.

Assumeing PaulD had an 80% efficient system from battey to the tire, he had 3.8hp.

Sweet pics Gary!!! Thanks for sharing those. 8)
Nice camera work ... looks like you got some skillz behind the lens buddy!!! :wink:
I do love those action shots with clear focus on the rider and blurred background. And I also like the one with 109- PaulD & 100-liveforphysics coming around the zig-zag bend.
I wasn't out there at the track this weekend but I was playing with cameras and my ebikes.
I'll post something on those soon.

It was a great race! too cool that ebikes took #1 & 2. If Luke would have better luck or team Thud could have made it, It would have been 1st, 2nd and 3rd. We had beautiful weather (81* with no wind) and the track and track owner were both nice. My friend Kenny, who helped me set up the pits also liked the track and he was west coast 2 stroke kart champ a few years back so I figure he should know.
A few pics.....

Luke suiting up
PaulD's bike
paulD recuperating
Luke's minor tire mishap
Edward Lyen and a bunch of the guys working
PaulD's bike getting charged
Luke's charger. It took my 3.5kw generator to the edge
For some reason I didn't get pics of farfle's bike or his 17 year old rider Aidan. That gal could ride! I wouldn't mess with her either as she is on a roller derby team. Fearless. 8)
