And it's not much more than groups of people racing at a small dirt track for cash prizes. No standings, or finals, really small scale, but normaly with a good bit of racers at once.

This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.
It's good that you get to race. I never liked the idea of racing 3 and 4 wheelers together.

Was wondering if you could give some detailed info on the 480 your brother built for you? What kind of setup did you have,other then the 83 front end? How long was the rear swinger, and what was the pipe fabricated from?
Thx

RIP Trace.. Godspeed.
We had a VERY good time out with you guys and gals at the INVASION!
As far as the 480, I believe the swing arm was 3 inches over stock length. The pipe was a custom made pipe from steel sheet metal hand rolled cones, as any custom cone pipe. There was nothing really exotic or special that wasn't readily available for the 250's other than the front end. It was a very clean and functional conversion with emphasis on strong motor and pipe mounts. The engine was stock.

I just read the whole thing . Great read. Hopr to go to the invation next year . Keep it coming Mike . Hey did you ever race in ua place in upstate new york called broom tioga raceway? Unnadilla a nother thriller in unnadilla was what the radio would say for weeks jeff ward ronleichine (spelling?). Just wondering?
justin4,
Whike I did race a number of times in NewYork, I don't recall ever racing at Broome or Unadilla. Most of the racing we did back there was Ice Racing on Lake George and a NY State Championship ice race. We did have a National back there that got rained on VERY heavily and Honda got embarrased significantly because we didn't have any tires for the conditions. Most everyone else had Hoosiers designed for the wet conditions.

Thanks for the answer . Keep up the posting I know you get very busy thank you for taking the time . I also got the grand pa notice . Good luck with life. Justin .
Things are very busy with my work and internet business for CRF150's and 230's. I went out earlier this month to see the grandson. Had a great time visiting with my girls. Wish I could have stayed longer! So I'm ready to answer any and all questions, within reason. Ask away!
