OTC to invade Malvern Motocross Park July 25th

[TimSr]

At the regularly scheduled Malvern MX races on July 25th the Ohio Trike Crew will be bringing a handful of three wheeler riders to run in a designated 3 wheeler class for the first time ever! I can remember a half dozen years ago, when I was racing my quad at Malvern, and thinking “what a great 3 wheeler track this would be”. Of course, my inquiry was met with a very swift “we don’t allow them things in here!” back then. What a difference today, when we felt compelled to accept a friendly personal invitation from race promoter Josh McFadden!

We would be happy to have you join us at Malvern! This is not a cut throat class of serious racers that will run you over for a plaque and some points. There are some very talented riders in the group, but we race for fun and exhibition, and deliberate contact is frowned upon. Its one of the safer classes to race in. This is a CRA sanctioned event but an unsanctioned class, so they will not require CRA cards for those racing in trike classes. You don’t need a 250 pinger, or a custom built 450 thumper to get on the track and have a great time. We often have riders sporting a 200X.

As it looks now, there will be just one 3 wheeler class, but if turnout justifies it, we could easily have an “A” and “B” class (based strictly on rider ability and not machine size). It’s helpful in setting up classes if I know you are coming. If you are interested in running, or need more information you can email me. If you would like to see video of OTC in action, go to youtube and search “OTC MX”.

Malvern is the most popular MX track for quads in the CRA, and they are a lot more stringent about compliance with their safety requirements. They REQUIRE working tether kills switch, helmet, eye protection, long pants, long sleeves, and boots that cover the ankles. I’m not sure about gloves. They have turned people away for non-compliance. As with all OTC events, MX racing is a family sport. There will be many young children around. Please adjust your vocabulary to those within earshot of you. The No Pit Riding rule at Malvern is strictly enforced. No alcohol before racing.

[Bryan Raffa]

Hey Beatner.. any race gas?

[Kintore]

I can bring you some raffa, BUT be prepared to pay extreme prices.

Likes 14 a gallon for 110! EEEPPPP

[Louis Mielke]

$8 a gallon here for the cam2 I've been running. I think derrick can get race gas pretty cheap.

[Kintore]

Yah it was 6 up near ricky ramrods way

[Russell 350X]

Stop by Raffa, I got a partial drum of 115...

[Derrick Adams]

I buy my 114 Torco for $6.50 a gallon. I'm going to try to make it to Malvern, but I can't guarantee it.

P.S. RAFFA... bring some new york hot dogs!!! One of those dogs with your coney sauce and some coleslaw would be the shizit!!!!

[Jason Hall]

Man, Derrick loves them NY Dogs LOL. Are they Sabrett's Raffa????? Them babies are the BEST!!!!!!!!

P.S. RAFFA... bring some new york hot dogs!!! One of those dogs with your coney sauce and some coleslaw would be the shizit!!!!



I thought you were a brat guy, this is the guy that went to the Brat festival in his hometown and thought it would be a great idea to eat a brat from every stand. How many stands were there? 15 was it? :w00t: :lol:

[johnny's X]

are we talking hot dogs or white hots? white hots are the way to go. some hot relish...yum

[Russell 350X]

I think they mean the salen(sp?) hot dogs I brought to TF...there the best damn dogs around.

[Derrick Adams]

What ever dawg Raffa shoved in my hand. I almost came back to finish off the pile!

Yeah 14 brats back to back is not a good idea.

[Russell 350X]

Looks like I can make this one :) taking the work truck with the Tri-Z.

Tim, could I meet you at your place Saturday morning and follow you guys out??

[Bryan Raffa]

What ever dawg Raffa shoved in my hand. I almost came back to finish off the pile!

[Mosh]

There is a sliver of hope, I might make this run.
It is fractional at best, but if our plans fall thru, I will show.

[Bryan Raffa]

My guess is:
chain
axle
shock.......Did I win? What did I win?:lol:

[atctim]

well - mostly correct Rich - Chain was new at TF thanks to a Mr Corey Sprock. Close enough though. New axle, locking axle nut, and Elka elite shock.

Now for your prize. You win $10. to collect your prize please send me a self addressed stamped envelope with $10 in it for processing and handling fees, and I will send your your winnings ;)

[ditchmud]

Dang I am good I saw the new nut too!

[TimSr]

If you guys just hand me all the cash that you spend building those cheater bikes, Ill be glad to slow down and let you go by!

Just a reminder to everybody to make sure you have all required gear and a working tether kill switch. I havent raced here under the new ownership, but traditionally they have always been pretty formal about that stuff. We should have a decent turnout, and enough to leave a good impression for repeat invites. Flyin Brain and Carl are maybe's, but it still looks like just one class, but there are no eliminations like at the indoors.

[atctim]

My doctor recommended this bike Tim - Will I need a Dr's excuse to run it at Malvern???? LOL

Can't wait to see you there old pal!!!

[Kintore]

but there are no eliminations like at the indoors.



ATCTIM this was for you, cough cough :lol: :lol:

[CRAZY70MAN]

Damn, my 200x is down with 1st gear issue and it is the old lady's Birthday Saturday! Oh well She'll get over it. lol lol no trike, but me and my daughter may come to see that one!! Only 1 hour for me. Have to keep up on the OTC tour and try and score a race or 2 with ya' hope to make it there.....

[atctim]

Hey Crazy70Man - bring the 200X. You won't need 1st gear on this track - seriously - come on out and race.

See you there. I meet you Saturday night at TF by the way. My wife and I tried hawking some 3 wheeler track decals to you - remember????

[keister]

Crazy70man ??
who we missing? Garageboy? FlyinB?

Who am I forgetting?

[Mosh]

Yeah...
I am not gonna make it, super bummed......
This whole week has gone straight to the toilet!

[keister]

That stinks! Sorry to hear it - I guess we'll catch you next time.

[max]

#295:acr :welcome: :naughty: :twisted:

[TimSr]

Here is a shortcut not listed in their directions. Take 43 S. or 44 S. and turn left on Elson St. If you miss Elson St, youll still be following their posted directions. Elson St comes right into the track entrance. Or if you feel safer, just stick with their directions, and Ill point yo an easy home.

Garageboy is attending MidOhio Vintage Days that day. Flyin Brian is a maybe, as well as Carl. Max, doe sthis mean youre in? What are you racing?



That's it!!!!!!!!!! You're sleeping with the dogs!
I dont know why you wish to punish your dogs and reward this punk!


Crazy70man, I 2nd the opinion that you wont need 1st gear, especially on a 200X. If anything, you may top out on this track. Its a fast track, with a downhill start.

This one will be hard to call because we've never raced a track like is before, but I will say its a fast moving track, and tends to be alot more favorable to pingers than most other tracks, especially the downhill start. I used to race there on my 250R quad. Its hard to guess on this one but If I had to pick my favorites for this track it would be Louis, Kintore, and the Snake, and Id add Flying Brian if he makes it.

[keister]

2 questions:
Do you think this will be $25 entry fee?
Any idea what they have for concessions? Nearby food? Brown bag it?

[TimSr]

2 questions:

I havnet been there in quite a while but my guess is $20 race fee, and $10 to get in. CRA not required for trike class.

They used to run a well stocked concession there with burgers, hot dogs fries, nachos, and a bunch of other stuff. I cant remember but I think they had other sandwiches also. I would guess it to still be running, but that was under the old owners when I was last there. There is a McDonalds right before the track on rt 43 if you dont take the Elson St shortcut. I cant remember what else is there. We usually stop in Canton on the way.

[ditchmud]

Good Luck boys

[CRAZY70MAN]

Ya Tim, I remember you guys. Should of raced the x Saturday:confused: :confused: That gear issue really pissing me off but 2nd would have prolly done huh?? I am looking to get forks and rear shock rebuilt as well. Looking forward to seeing some pics and vid of Malvern!! Let us know how it was. When and where are you guys gathering next?? Some of my buddies and I are planning a trip to Wellsville, Ohio in August? Anyone interested?

[seadoo650]

Any results yet? All you guys still sleepin' or what?

Glad to hear everyone got home (still have not heard from Lou though!!)

It is always fun having you guys stay -

Raffa - was a pleasure putting you, BJ and Cody up. BJ - thanks for the help in the kitchen. Looking forward to hanging with you guys again soon!

Congrats to Lou for the 1st place - he deserves it big time!!!!

Josh - sorry to hear about your misfortune on the way home.

GO TEAM BEATNER!!!!!!!!

I am happy to say that Malvern is now my favorite MX track - super high speed track - plenty wide for passing - and what appears to be trike built jumps . Nothing feels better than launching in 4th gear pinned - and clearing a 40 or 50 foot table top during a race - side by side with my trike brethern!! Can't wait to go back!

[Jason Hall]

Got Milk???

Way to go Louis :D You did It Buddy :acr The ol 500 was able to STETCH her legs out :beer

I hope you guys got more pic's??? Looks like a sweet track :drool:

[ditchmud]

congrats guys! I missed you all but I was racing up here at Monster Jam's Quad Wars. I would have rather been with you guys.

[Russell 350X]

I'm at the hotel in Mt.Vernon right now..

My knee freakin kills!! can hardly bend it...let alone walk on it for very long.

Tim and Shelly, thank you so much for putting up with all of us crazy people friday-saturday!

[Louis Mielke]

Home safe! I had a long trip home too! Between crazy traffic, and a short stop due to truck trouble. Otherwise it was a freakin awesome weekend! Malvern is a freaking sweet track!

Taking first was fun but I'm just happy I got to race with everyone! We were all freaking flying! Some of the fastest racing yet!


Like I've been saying, the best people and some of the best fun are in OHIO!

[sbjones73]

wow!!!! love the pics. man i follow all this mx racing on here. and like i said, i have got to make it one of these days!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i probably won't even come close to hanging with you all with my old 84 250r, but it would be fun just to get out there!!!!!!!!!

waiting for the vids of this one, track looks sweet for our trikes!!!!!

[sbjones73]

did they lump four wheelers together with the trikes on this track, or was that just practice in some of those pictures?

[Bryan Raffa]

did they lump four wheelers together with the trikes on this track, or was that just practice in some of those pictures?

no that was practice.. we had are own trike class...:naughty:

[Derrick Adams]

The ol 500 was able to STETCH her legs out :beer



I knew Lou's lion was perfect for this track. The beatners made him work for it though!


http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l34/Derrick_Adams/louslion.jpg

[Kintore]

HAHAHA that is awesome Derrick,


I had much more fun 2nd moto for sure. Talk about some Tight tight tight racing!

Just for the record, I cleared the table and snake kinda veared over. Sorry about that buddy, I kinda landed on you! Hence the giant tire rub mark on my inverts haha

[keister]

Raffa - I love that first picture you posted. Me (in blue pajamas) leading the TPC450 and Louis' 500 into the first corner. Makes everyone think I am awesome at hole shots.

This picture was actually taken during practice - but a man can dream - right?

SBJones - The racing at the back of the pack is just as fun as the battles up front. Bring out the air cooler - you will find someone on your skill level to compete with.

[seadoo650]

Video is up. :w00t: :w00t:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9vvn_3cR9U

[Louis Mielke]

Video is AWESOME! THANKS to Shelly and Derrick for the video and pictures!

I gota say, there was one thing that was a much bigger victory for me this race, I DIDN"T BREAK ANYTHING!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

[HondaHarry]

awesome! :lol:

[Kintore]

thanks alot Shelly! you did great work!

haha milkman, if I cant break that swinger billy is making me, Im going to let you touch it :lol:

[Tri-Z 250]

BIG THANKS!! goes out to Tim Sr and the promoters of the Malvern RaceWay, KILLER event! Once again the fences were full for moto 1 of the 3wheeler event. It doesn't hurt when the anouncer calls everyone on the line CRAZY, in a fun way. The anouncer was impressed by the speed as well with coments like "these guys are really getting at it!" As for the race action it was outstanding and yes the 5-Hundy was tuff to hold on to in moto2..Nice job Louis! It looked like from the frist gate drop in moto1 Kintore just might get his 5th overall win of the year. It was an impressive battle win from gate to checker. Up until the chain break of the Pepsol 450(in the 5th turn) the battle for the lead was not out of reach for the battling top 4. The quick pull off gave Josh just enough to strech 2nd for the finish. Again the action in the field was good as ever. Tim Sr had his son to contend with for much of moto1 with Raffa diving the inside line at times. Obiviously the switch to the 250R is just what the Dr. ordered (I vote Jr as most improved Speed...really coming on). I could go on for hours but the treatment for the OTC was excellent. Little do the racers know they were all mentioned on the gate where they were from # and machine. In moto 2 they must have said Louis M from MD 10times with so in so in 2nd right down the line. For some guys the event went better than expected for others it may have been a learning curve. I believe all in all the opinion of the track is RAVED REVIEWS!! It would be cool if the placed allowed overnights heck maybe they do? It was just a long trip for some of you'all and I was beat when I got home and I didn't race...plus I live less than 2hrs away. Thanks to all who raced for the great action and Tim Sr and the OTC for the invite.:beer

[TimSr]

Thanks to everybody who came out to race or to take pictures and cheer us on! I got to talk with the promoter, and the announcer afterwards, and they were all very happy with our performance. There were also two CRA board members there who extended their welcome and pleasure at seeing us there. The spectator expectations of slow motion widespread carnage never materialized, but I dont think they were disappointed with the surprise they got. One of the bike racers stopped by and spoke with me, saying he had heard all about us, but had never seen us before, and he felt it was real treat. You guys should all be proud of the job you did, and the way in which you represented us. I was told all we need is a phone call to run another trike class, or anyone can race in the Extra Quad class at any event. Malvern's practice nights are on certain Wednesday evenings, which wont work for most of you, or me. (CRA limts when member tracks can hold open practices) There were a lot of spectators there, but the actual turnout was extremely low for Malvern, due to weather fears. Expect about double of that on a typical Malvern Sat night race.

I was proud to be beat by Jr in the first moto, by two spots, with Russ in between. I beat him by one or two spots in the 2nd moto. I never cut him any slack, either.

The bad part about night races is its extremely difficult to get good photos or video, so most footage is almost exclusively the first moto. Somebody shot video on my camera also. Maybe Rachel? Ill post it when I can. The track was in much better shape for the 2nd moto, and people were riding a lot faster. I know the front runners were still in sight by races end.

We actually could hear the annoucer introducing us from the start gate. Jr stood and raised his arms when they introduced him. "Josh Ball from Kintore, Ohio!" Cracked me up. I told him about it later.

Great job everyone. Look forward to seeing you all at Lightning on August 22-23 weekend for the OTC Jamboree!!!

In the mean time, we will be racing Summit Co Fair Aug 1st, and Medina Co. Fair Aug 4th.

[sbjones73]

keister, i definatly plan on getting out there with you all soon (i hope) i have some things to work out on my trike then it will be time.

again, love what you guys do, keep up the great representation of us other triker guys (and gals) that can't make it to the races.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[denisse110]

This is great news Tim Sr.
That is a heavy MX track for this area.

[Kintore]

hey denisse,

your from Canada where abouts?, but its a great area for racing?


not trying to be a dick, just WONDERING
