Wow,
Wake up & find all this crap in a race thread....
I have re-read this thread & all the other thread on both sites. I can't find any Language posted anywhere to create all this drama. I can only guess the friction started in a phone call.
This is the only racing going on, & if we as e-bikes are going to coat tail in on the fun, we need to set the positive example & definatly be on the high road.
BiMoPed, has shown his true colors with his (unprovoked) malicious attack on AW. That said, E-bikes are totaly inconsiquential to the success of his event. He builds and sells Gas bikes for money, frankly the demonstraition of e-bikes could be construed as threat on his future income potential.
Once these guys learn the truth & are aware of the current state of the e-bike scean, there will be converts.
Since the only e-bikes heading to the race are real "race" built bikes, being relagated to the Unlimited class is no big deal. Most are constructed to run with the big dogs (my moneys on ellectrics being the BIG dogs in regard to lap time performance)
At the end of the day, the riders are at the mercy of the promoters of the events. Talking a bunch of shit on an internet forum is fine.
Taking it serious is kinda sad.
I just wish more guys knew how fun it is to meet up with a bunch of guys & ralley on the track then have some serious competition. Settle back down & BBQ your ass off the rest of the evening talking about the days events & making plans for the next one.

I mean c'mon and support the cause, if we don't have a decent showing in an area like this, how are we ever going to gain traction as a sport or even a class within a growing sport. I don't wanna start calling out all the SoCal dudes, but there has got to be like 30-40 of us on here. Another problem is that not one single Electric Company even considered offering a prize for the race, by talking to BiMo, it seems the "stinky" gas bike companies have more heart and compassion than all of the electric sellers on this forum. How are we supposed to be taken serious when we just wanna show up with purpose built bikes without getting our hands involved in the organizing?
