thats some of the best racing Ive seen.. dont make me beg for more..you are the man for posting this stuff up!!!

[mjquadracer]

no problem they were just collecting dust in my closit for years. I got a new issue of quad mag that had alot of tecate pics in there and rememberd how much i liked riding 3 wheelers and bought a couple tecates for 800 dollars off a lady that just wanted to get rid of them. Got one runnin and put hoosier tires on one and am going to flat track it locally. I got an 86 that I'm completely restoring and cant wait to finish it. That one i'm going to keep as a duner.

It looks real good. I always liked the way the Hoosier looks on the front. I like the cut out rear fender too.

[Bryan Raffa]

that front is the best..I know the front is inferior to the later model..BUT... it just looks so cool..;)

[torker]

I've just spent the last hour watching this race (slow connection). This has got to be the best 3 wheeler race I've ever seen. Good to see the Z doing good and beeing competitive, for a while. I was expecting that from Honda and Kawasaki.
Simply AMAZING. Thanks for sharing bro...
MORE, MORE, MORE, MORE, MORE...

Just a quick bit about the track.

My old man worked for a guy that raced trucks on that course. That park is one of the best in the country. MX track, dirt drags, clay flat track, mini cycle track. Everything to the left of the picture beyound the fence is all campgrounds. All the foothills in the background are hundreds of miles of trails and hillclimbs. The concrete grandstands that the clip is shot from are still there and used today.

The park was shutdown in 2003 due to funding issues. Thurston County no longer wanted to maintain the facility. Grays Harbor County stepped up and helped us out to get it reopened. Here is a link to the website under its current name of Straddleline raceway

this would be my choice for a trikefest on the West Coast
