Well it's that time again!
Time for ebikes to dethrone gassers at the sport they've dominated for the last century.


Fresh out of Paul D's dramatic last second win at the Tuscon Death death race in april comes another motorized bicycling race.



This event separates bikes into 5 categories:
  1. Ebikes less than 9kw peak or 11 HP
  2. 4 strokes
  3. 2 strokes
  4. Gas bikes less than 11 HP
  5. Anything goes gas or electric - within reason.
No motorcycle tires, but some moped tires are fine. All bikes must have functional pedals. 

The ebike class will run first to provide time to recharge before the final event. The ebikes will run two heats of 5 laps, and a final heat of 12 laps. The winners of this class will go on to the "Ultimate Race."

Since the track has no power outlets, a generator will be provided.
