No Gear Racing

https://mopedgp.com/

Let's go racing! We will be fielding at least 2 mopeds at this event.

Moped GP | 3 Days of Racing, Camping, and Party. *Knuckleheads are not allowed to ride in the pit lanes. **People with open stingers on race bikes will have their expansion chambers “fixed with a 10 lb hammer” at tech inspection.

We learned a lot about the new bike (first time out) and will be making some little changes to the frame and also rebuilding the motor with some different parts! The bike ran well at 14000 rpm sustained but the shifter broke on the 4-5 shift and rider was unable to take 6th gear. We will be changing to a racing gearbox for better ratios and be back again next year.

So far this year at Speed Week we have managed a 95.8 mph run! Getting faster every time.

Doing great this year with a new 100cc build.

Was looking forward to running the Lancaster mile, a standing mile speed run that was organized by the SCTA. Unfortunately it was cancelled, they did not receive enough entries.

2014 Speed Week has been cancelled due to flooding. :(

2014 Speed Week at Bonneville Salt Flats Cancelled Due To Flooding | Autoweek We were all set to head out to the Bonneville Salt Flats to bring you coverage of the high-speed action and car-freak Mecca that is Speed Week.

This just in - today's time slip from the first run. Having some shifting problems. Heading back to the pits now - going to try and change the position of the shifter. Wish us luck!

Shakedown run with the 523 bike (Blue) - 42.133 mph at 4:34pm. Engine spring too stiff - CVT could not operate. Similar to being stuck in first gear...

Thoughts and results from first run on the B-639 bike: "Getting used to the bike... stalled twice at the line."
