Goma's Minibike Massacre #12 June 24, 2023 Wareham, MA

I'm hoping to have my new bike running by this event but if not my old bike just got a refresh and big valves so I'll be faster this year either way. The difference between the bikes will be weather I'm a little faster or allot faster.
I hope this year is a little cooler, the heat last year was just brutle! I went threw 6 bottles of water and 2 sodas.

Remember last time we went to the Boston areas for around the 4th of July.
I thought humidity was bad in Iowa in the summer,, until spending some Summer time out there !
Couple of days I soaked thru like ''5'' T-shirts each day !!!!!
Think I sweated out like 7 lbs in 8 days !
Sure was beautiful out there though,,, in MA, NY,, & PA !!!

What I would do, is get a ''mobility'' scooter carrier,, & hook it on to your hitch,, & is cheaper ''in the long run'',, plus you own it.
You can put 2 Mini's on those.
Harbor Freight has, or had,, a ''really nice'' Alum. offering,, with a ramp,, & are awesome,, & i think only around a couple hundred bucks.
We plan on getting one to hook on the back of our future 5th wheel,, to haul our 2 Mini's..
Thing you want to do also is,,
Use a couple of tie down ratchet straps ,, & attach those to ea. end of the hauler,, & then attach the other ends to the frame ''or hard points'' of your vehicle.
That will keep the hauler ''pinned'' from moving from ''side to side'' ect,,,, & help keep the Mini's ''a lot'' more secured.

My bike dosn't start eazy anymore, this bike gave me nothing but trouble today and the pull start broke just before my heat, meaning I lost any chance to race. It keeps kicking the wrong way when I pull start it. ripping the pull cord out of my hand. This has always been a small issue with this bike but today it was worse. I think im going to swap the milled head back to a stock one to drop the commpresion some ( hopefully this solves the issue) I realy wish I had brought my backup bike instead. It has a solid rear end with a modified tecumseh flathead that starts much eazyer. It would have either been in the big wheel class or the stock class and its not as fast as my blue bike but its fast enough to be somewhat competitive.
The event itself was still fun and went quite well. althow I dont agree with the un even chances to get into the finals given to the 3 big wheel heats. They each took the top 10 compedators to go in the finals while the other classes got only the top 3 making them much harder to get into the finals in. in 10th place you aren't exactly a winner. They may have been larger classes but all the classes should have had the same chances because fair is fair.
The rain didn't realy hamper the turn out much, this event was still huge! Windber may have lost its title as the countrys largest mini bike event!
the rain stopped before anything kicked off anyways and the track was not as slippery or muddy as you would think given the morning rain. the class system seems to do what was intended giving varying types of bikes a chance to win when otherwise they woulden't and its always fun meeting new people at thise events. Over all it was fun and well worth the trip.
