How many of the Mid West series races you guys planning on running ?. We have ran at Billys track a couple times in the years past.

You guys can come run with us as well if you like, AMA/ATVA EDT series.
Can ride a ways north to Renner SD May 30th for a double header event, or, ride a ways south to Muskogee OK Sept 5th & 6th for a double header there as well. The event at Muskogee OK, will have $10,000.00 worth of award prizes to give away to all of the Am classes & a $12,000.00 dollar Pro class purse + the event will be televised. My daughter won a flat screen TV last year at the event.

We also have an event scheduled for Aug 8th & 9th, out at Sturgis SD, across the road from Buffalo Chips camp grounds, during the bike weeks. We will be racing after the TORQ trucks events on the same track they will be racing on.

What I know about it, he has been trying to get guys from the N east to come run at the track for several years. They have had schedule conflicts.
He got a hold of a guy in St Louis to come down and run. As far as I know nobody coming races anywhere else. Kind of an exibition race.
I am 5hrs away but from Sikeston so I have family and friends there to stay with. There is a track in Flippin AR that allows 3 wheelers to race there. I went down last year and watched and plan on racing a couple of races this year and a couple of flat track races in Kansas.
That is about the extent of my racing.

I remember as a kid coming home from church there was a line waiting to get in. That was 30yrs ago. They was in a small building then. The one they are in now is the 3rd building. And it is like a circus outside. The food is good.

When we went out to Billys for a race, Lamberts was the first place we went both times. You dont go to Sikeston & not go to Lamberts Cafe.

Check this out guys, cazyiest & oddest thing I've ever seen in my life. At Billys track, when they fill the water truck, theres a little hole about a foot deep right beside the staging area before you go onto the track, well they stick the fill hose from the pump down in that hole & suck the waster out to fill the water truck. Dangest thing I ever seen, like its some type of spring there or something. Check it out Steve when you go.

I am the one who has been speaking with Billy over the years. Good to see some locals coming out to support this. We will be in NC the week before so not sure if we can make this race but we are going to try. Both Billy and I have spoke to Jackie and Daryl about it as well. Not sure if either can make it though?

I also saw this post on 3ww...

Quote from: BKM

Billy never mentioned a number plate, but I would bet a white paper plate and a Sharpie would do the trick. Up on the headlight.

You might want to say something as this is not acceptable. You can not have any glass on your trike so the headlights will have to be removed, not just covered over.

Yes, a TPC owner has been racing there for a few years. He needs some three wheelers to join him. I'm sure the quads are getting sick of him kicking their ass...lol...check out the video.

I spoke with Billy and he said to remove the headlight or tape them completely up.

Black Sheep · « **Reply #9 on:** May 04, 2014, 11:34:36 PM »

You're better off just taking them off if for no other reason then it is only some rubber straps and it is being respectful to other riders. If the worse happens and you crash and the headlight gets broken (tape wont stop that) glass will get on the track and could cut tires. Flat Track tires are not cheap.

bkm · « **Reply #10 on:** May 05, 2014, 05:00:22 AM »

Agreed, it should only take minutes to remove it. That would save a lot of hassle.

Bill,
I'm going down to the NC track Wed evening, to go ahead & start track prep at Kinston NC, so if you want to come early & maybe turn some laps Thursday evening, I'll be there & we can githerdone if you want.
That track has full RV hook ups as well, like ol Gommer youst to say, "NICE, REAL NICE" cept for them dad gum fire ants.

I would LOVE to Neil but if I do that you only get me...lol...I'm bringing some other racers with me to help off-set fuel cost as well as bring more riders to the gate so, I have to work with their schedule. We won't be leaving until Friday and driving all night to get there.

C-Leigh Racing · « **Reply #13 on:** May 06, 2014, 09:24:42 AM »

Ok, I understand completely, specially with the economy like it is today. Just thought I'd let you know, cause I'll probably have the track ready Thursday evening.
Trying to do my part, to help you get more folks on 3 wheels, cause we need you guys at the races just like the quads.

Looking forward to it. We have 5 guys coming down with us from NY/PA/and VA. I know some locals are coming as well. Hope this takes of in the NC area. f I did not have these guys with me (who all have to be back to work on Monday) I would leave NC and head over to MWEDT and do this Sikeston race on the 17th. Billy and I have been trying to get that going for some time and I am glad it is finally going to happen.
