Thunderbird rebuild-gettin ready to race

[Tracy]

Hi I am a chick who is fixing a Thunderbird minibike. I plan to race at the Smokeout (a biker rally) in May at Rockingham NC. Here are a few pics of my bike.

I'm by no means an expert..... but I've got the exact same bike and was told its a Bird NightHawk. Its looking great. Good luck and keep the updates coming!

Its a nighthawk.

Thunderbird is a Manco.

Here's my Nighthawk, I have the original 4HP but it also came with a new 5HP in it and sounds really cool. (vid later)

You go girl. :thumbsup:

Looks like XSSPEED is gonna get a run for his money ! The Hardest part about the Smoke Out Races is staying Sober enough to Race at Midnite ! ut:

response to motor under plastic

The motor under the plastic is a 351 windsor that we ran in our thunderbird racecar, the car has since been retired. It would make that bike scream, but I am going back with the tech motor that came on it.:smile::smile:

Thanks for the feedback, I got the bike from a friend in boxes. He had no idea what it was. Where did you get yours?:smile:

Thanks GTO, nice ride! I hope I don't have to race you on that hot rod.:thumbsup:
