I contacted a guy in st pete and he said he would bring 40 bikes! I'm bringing two I also have a bunch of friends building bikes now. three of them are building twin engine minibikes. my next minibike will have three engins with nos!!! mini freight train!!
I should have the class rule book done and a manufacture supply list for building anything ready at the race. I'm planning on running at Lakeland st pete and at two county festivals(dirt drag) and at the roscos dirt drags so start thinkin about a digger tire!!

Make sure you take some pictures of that, you will make OldMiniBikes member "Twid" very happy!!!! :laugh:
The only complete/running bike that was in the garage just sold, but hopefully I can get something finished by then! nothing "fast" unfortunately, quick for its size/age but not the caliber that the drag bikes run. I ran a bike with an old westbend race kart engine down the track a few billetproofs back, That motor is going through a few changes right now, hopefully I can get it done and a bike built around it to see if what I did actually makes it quicker :thumbsup:

40 bikes out there would be awesome Super Nate! While I don't have anything that will hang with a drag bike or a double /triple engine bike, they would be cool to check out! I just need to change out some tires and do a little gearing swap for both bikes and I'll be good to go.
You're welcome to ride our bikes Marcus... hell, one of them even came from your stable :laugh:

Thanks Greg, Hopefully I can get something nostalgic going for the event, just got a 1961 Caper cycle shipped in that would be fun but I have to figure out/fab up a new sprocket assembly, piece of crap only lasted 55 years :laugh:
Have to see if Chris in Sarasota is available that weekend, He has a couple of overpowered bikes, got that CR80 stuffed in that Sears bike

imp: That's funny, I've thought about putting a mx engine in a mini also but not sure how fast I really want to go on such a short wheel base. I know that some guys go pretty quick but I also know the older I get the longer it takes to heal. :scared::thumbsup: That Rupp you just built would probably run pretty well too! Dunno if you have been to one of these yet, but there is usually pretty decent turnout of vintage dedicated competition cars running all day not just car club cruisers so its a pretty fun day even to spectate.
I didn't go last year, but the year before they were pretty adamant about legible numbers on your helmet or bike I think, so dont forget a sharpie, or some tape just in case. They never really bothered with that stuff before.
