It's finally done...Introducing ACME Racing's New Racing Machine
Ok...it's just the Pit Bike...but I still thinks it's cool:
The only thing I'm not crazy about is the chainring, but I've found something that looks right, and now I just have to find one.
Scott, who is progressing on all his racing machines EXCEPT his racing machine...<sigh>...

Razor scooter > pit bike
cheaper, easier to store, and more likely to fall off of it while you're riding around the paddock on it drunk at night

Re: It's finally done...Introducing ACME Racing's New Racing Machine (CRX-RX)
Are bicycles allowed at your tracks? They are not at some tracks here, especially Mid-Ohio. They are downright hardcore about it.
In about '96 after seeing a few people take bikes to tracks, we took two and were starting to ride around the track after hours when lots of people are walking and a few people were riding. I had just gotten to the track and the head of scurity start screaming at me from over the fence that I had to stop right then. I said I'd never heard the rule and that others were riding on track at the very moment although out of sight over the hill. He started calling me a liar and cursing me like a sailor. So I gave up and turned around and headed back to the pit lane 150 feet away to get off the track and he went ballistic demanding that I get off the bike and hand carry it over the fence and back to the paddock or he was going to confiscate the bikes and have me arrested.
It was the only negative experience I have had at M-O in over 30 years. Every time I see the guy there now, the scene is still vivid. I know they print it in the event supps and even at the Runoffs there are no bikes unless somehow they fly indere the security radar.

Isn't it going to be hard to ride with 1/2 turn LTL front end?
Christian, who should be working on his car right now... but instead is sitting at Starbucks doing "real" work (inbetween posting on HT)

Either one still needs a cupholder.

Re: It's finally done...Introducing ACME Racing's New Racing Machine (siisgood00)
This is my pit ho. (the bike)
It is bling and I like it. It is about 7 feet long, springer front end, chopped and low. It's kinda a bitch to haul around.....I will probably get something different, just because this bike is way to sweet to have the paint get scratched or get laid down. The paint looks black, except in bright sunlight....then it looks a VERY nice plum/deep purple. It took me like 2 months to track this badboy down....they are not in production anymore.
This is the bike I almost got after 1 month of searching for the bike I finally found.
I almost wish I would have got this bike....only because it is so INTERNATIONIZZLE
BTW: nice bike Scott...

Re: It's finally done...Introducing ACME Racing's New Racing Machine (CRX Lee)
that's interesting lee, of mid-o being **** about bikes... i know in all the cali tracks i've seen ppl ride bicycles. at one couple years ago i was at laguna seca ALMS/WC race weekend and i had my mountain bike. i rode around no problem, except in certain area i was required to walk it. but it was great getting around the track with it.
