I have vhs copies of Miami and Porterfield. I may have more but will take some looking.

Bryan,

Did you see the Santa Cruz National video thats now on YouTube and here on the site? Anyone with a copy of 3 wheels and a cloud of dust should post it up as well (full version) 3 wheels and a cloud of dust is great veiwing as well! I don't have a copy of it. If I did, it would be posted here for all to see as well.

I would love to see the copy of the 1985 Miami Grand National race . I raced the 200cc class in that event .

I have vhs copies of Miami and Porterfield. I may have more but will take some looking.

Mike has been gracious enough to share his personal riding/racing picture collection with me. I'm in the process of going over it and uploading the pictures to the site to make an article, I've got probably close to 40 that are just awesome, so stay tuned to see that stuff here on the site too!

How do I go about getting some racing footage downloaded to the site. The tapes have some interviews of the Coe Show from his younger days.

I spoke to Tommy during the Holidays. I am working on him to get on line here and over at AirFoolers to share his video and to share his wealth of knowledge on racing and 3 wheelers in general. His son is a multi-time National(and World?) BMX champ, so he has passed on some winning genes.

Hey mike
i started racing atc's in 85 and copied your number because i liked your style of racing. From then i raced quads and then dirt stock cars all the time keeping the number 23. Now in my 40's i ride motorcycles and atv's and i still have the number 23 on at least one at all times. Thanks for the use of the number.lol

Mike:

I have read every posting that you have wrote about your ATC'n racing life and politics! All I can say is "WOW" and "Awesome" like the others here who wrote before me! It is great to read about the experiences you went through and how you managed to work through the "B.S." that had worked against you, as you tried to maintain your winning status as a ATC racer. And I find it even "cooler" that you have taken time from your life to post and answer questions of all the members here! I appreciate your honesty and your own feelings about the events and the people you had to deal with along the way. I want to say thank you for the entertaining thread and the understanding of your experiences as a fellow racer, ATC enthusiast, and a former national star!


I will be watching this thread with Great interest!

Mark,

I'm happy you like the number 23 as well. I started using it because it was my birthday number.

[3WW Star-CoeShow]

Tim,

Thanks for your kind words. Keep the questions coming! Tell everybody to ask away.

I am 16, and have been into trikes for about a year and a half now. So far I have been prepping to start racing next season locally, much to the amusement of the other racers(all bikes and quads as usual). I am determined to race, but sometimes I just start feeling down because of all the harsh words and attitudes. But after reading through your, and all the other legends, posts time and time again, it has reinforced my resolve to race. I just feel it in my blood, I HAVE to race. It's wierd, ya know?

[3WW Star-CoeShow]

Chazz of Blades,

back in my racing days, three wheelers were BANNED from racing and quads were the only ATV's that race promoters were allowed to sanction races for due to numerous reasons. If you have a facilty and promoter that sanctions and allows 3 wheelers to race and you have your mind set on it, go for it! Good luck and ride safely. I noticed you have quite a collection of vehicles. That number of cars and ATV's is quite impressive for a 16 year old. Nice.

[Chazz of Blades]

Thanks, I do alot of buisness buying and trading. And I can race at almost all the small local tracks around here, just not in the larger cities. It's finding a bit of sponsorship thats killing me.

[3WW Star-CoeShow]

I understand there is a group in Ohio that puts on 3 wheeler races. I know it's a long way from Alabama, but it's good to hear there are other areas allowing 3 wheelers to compete. I guess it would depend on number of entries as well. No sense in having a race with only a couple entries.

[Chazz of Blades]

Hahaha, I wish it was dedicated. I'd be racing quads of the same size. Think a bit more "local".
