nice meeting you guys too........:thumbsup:

i only took couple photos with my cell phone.........:doah:

cool looking vintage kart/midget.



mini bike drags on dirt was really cool watch. doug(OldMiniBikes stubbymonster) did a awesome job......:thumbsup: without a doubt doug had the fastest bike in his class saturday. 15mins before he had to run the front tire desides to go flat. so i ran back to my truck and got my portable air tank and we where good to go. soon as they called his number i would shoot some air in the tire and he would go to the line and run. he would come back to line up again and the tire was already going down(leaking fast).
last race doug had it won,but the cable broke about half way down the track..:doah:
some of them guys had some big dollars sunk into there bikes and doug had nowwhere near that kind of money in his and still smoke all them in his class......:thumbsup:



race track

:doah: forgot these pics. The bicycle was mounted on a post in the back of a Hot Rod.





I know it's not a mini bike but this Hot Rod/Rat Rod truck had an "air cooled" Deutz engine in it.

The Kreepers Kar Club would like to thank everyone for an outstanding event! The Symco Minibike Drags had a bigger turnout than ever before, and we saw some great new builds this year.

We also want to thank all of you for adjusting to the new rules, but as you can tell, with 58 registered bikes, we need to keep this as safe and organized as possible. This was our third year running the drags, and based on the reactions we've heard, the best yet.

We are already discussing improvements for next year, including roping off the end of the track and return road. We've thought about double eliminations, but we're not sure if the schedule would permit the extra time, and we think the open session is important.

Thanks again for your participation! Here's a few track shots:

Glad to do it, and glad we had the crowd! There were several very close runs, and the crowd really got into it! Now if we could only keep them from standing on the track...

And it really is all about the PBR, right? :wink:

Mark G, I meant to send you a message before the show. You sold me the tank for my Coleman. That's a picture of my bike above, blue and silver with the stars on the tank.

You know what, I think that maybe in a couple years we could turn this into a Midwest version of Windber. They already have campgrounds, minibike drags and a minbike parade. We just need to get an area of our own to display/swap. Craig and I talked about it and I am planning on being there both Fri. and Sat. next year and getting a swap spot. We'll have our spots together to make a bigger impact. The people who attend the show already love the minibikes as seen in the pictures from the drag race.
