UPDATED Mini-bike Race Poop (now w/VIDEO!!)

Just to get all the poop onto one page, here's where we are:

FRIDAY- track will be available at 1:30 for practice laps, then we'll start races at 2:00. Races will be 5 laps each, limited to 5-7 bikes per race (dependent upon number of participants) to keep it safe. Friday's races are for funsies/bragging rights, and to hone skills prior to Saturday's main event.

SATURDAY- same plan as above - 5 lap races of 5-7 bikes per race. Winners of each race will progress to a single 5-lap final, the winner of which will be crowned Grand Champion and who will be obligated to buy beers on Congress Saturday evening.

THE RULES- the overriding goal here is to keep this a fun and safe event for all participants and spectators!! Therefore...
- Vintage-style bikes (you know... we talked about this...)
- 6hp max
- Pull start only
- No shifters/transmissions (torq-a-verter OK)
- Must have working brake
- Helmet, sleeves, pants, shoes, and gloves required to race
- No over-hyper-zealous-competitive-gripiness allowed... let's keep it fun!!

NOTES
- This is a dirt oval race, not a drag race!

- If you are not registered for the RoundUp, it is OK to bring your bike in with you when you purchase your general admission ticket at the gate.

- As Bryan stated earlier, let's be careful on the minibikes outside of the race arena. There's gonna be lots of people and cars on the fairgrounds during this incredible event, and we don't need someone or something getting damaged due to irresponsible mini-biking amongst the normal folks.

Any questions, drop me a PM!

Enjoy!!

 

Blake, Thanks for the update, The Round-Up is going to be a blast this year. Dennis

 

Blake you guy's are doing a great job! Would love to see how many people are bringing a minibike this year to LSR? I know Dennis and I am bringing ours, WHO else?

 

I will have one there.



Joyburt - Blake's wife

 

Robert - what about Heather?

 

I guess I need to drag mine out of storage this weekend and see if it will start.

 

Darn totten she will be there with you representing the girl bikers.
Does Casey count as a girl or not? Only ask sence he kinda rides like one.

 

LOL....brakes?? You folks in Texas use brakes????

 

Kick Ass!!!

I'm not touching the other comment...

 

Have to... otherwise we'd run into to the backs of them slow, pale folks from non-Texas states.

 

Here is a photo of the trophy girl from last year, Heathers sister !!!

 

Cool Dennis. The more the merrier!

By the way, I've been practicing my side karate kick while riding!

 

I'll be there! Hoping to start tuning and tweaking this weekend. And by "tuning and tweaking" I mean roll it out of the shed, put gas in it, and hope it starts without causing too big of a fire.

 

Thats a great start, you do get it, be sure to work on throwing those elbows, practice on D.W. !

 

You bet ya! Poor D.W., always my guinea pig for new experiments! HA!

 

Bttt... updated

 

That's great, Blake!!

 

It'd be better if 6.5 hp engines could race.

 

Let it go Steve.

 

Oh great, now I am going to have to start practicing my butt pinch while riding technique!

 

And what a great sport he is, I have never heard him complain about your "experiments"

 

Blake, that video is awesome.

 

HAHHAA that video is FANTASTIC!! building my scrape brake tomorrow and if the weather is nice, going to get some dirt time in!!

 

HEY - IS HEATHERS SISTER COMING AGAIN, THIS YEAR, If so, I gotta go steal me a mini-bike........hehehehe

 

Blake that video is awesome. I will need to scrounge around at work to see if I can come up with a bigger engine than the 3.5hp briggs that I currently have, I want that trophy!

 

That video was a gas!

 

Everybody ready.... not much time left.

 

Blake that video is great! And I am really glad you guys made the trophy for the event, mine would have sucked. Hey Big Ken, Heather's little sis will not be there, but maybe our HAMB greeting queen Denise might do it.

 

Dang, I wish I had a bike. I spent all my time trying to get my truck ready and I'll still cut that close.....maybe next year. It looks like a blast!

 

Mine is apart and in the trunk of the t bird, ready to go. just have to put it back together at the round up.
