That's right, The Eagle Field Hot Rod Gathering, October 10th, will include Mini Bikes in our Drag Racing categories! Eagle Field is 50 miles west of Fresno Ca near I-5. Click on the link for full details. Rocky http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=347626&page=10
Anyone interested? I'm thinking 4 cl***es Stock w/clutch, stock w/convertor, Modified w/clutch and Modified w/convertor. All mini bikes are required to be factory recoil rope started. Briggs, Te***seh, Honda industrial and the like only. We will be racing 330', no "push off" with your legs allowed, must have helmet, long pants, heavy long sleeve jacket, shoes with toes covered and gloves. If enough under 5hp engined mini's show up they will have a cl*** of their own. Any suggestions? Rocky
