Two races have already been run as part of the CALVMX program. those CALVMX guys really put on a great show. this last event was a tribute to our nation's armed forces with a special "wounded warrior" moto with all proceeds benefitting the wounded warrior foundation.

if anyone in Southern California, Arizona, or Nevada is interested in racing or just coming out to check out the fun, watch your local Craigslists for upcoming race info. alos, you can check out SoCal TrikeMX on Facebook or watch this thread for updated information

this track is very well suited for you guys who used to race or ride a trike and havent done it in ages. it is nice and long so you will get quite a workout, but there are no huge jumps or kickers. you will not have to worry about 'make it or break it' doubles.

also another interesting fact: all of the top finishers and 90% of the rest of the feild is 50+ years old

we race with CALVMX. if you have ever been to one of CALVMX's events, you know what great, family oriented events they put on. this is a great opportunity to get that trike out of the garage without all your buddies on 4 wheels lookin at you funny!

Nacho,

we would like to see your trike! bring it out and put it on display while you check out the awesome day of racing. OR put a number plate on it and eat your wheaties for b-fast that mornin! come out and have some fun regardless! plenty of guys just come out to putt around the puts and check out the bikes.

I would love to be there, but unfortunately I am a bit far. I live in NM. Still though, I can't tell you how cool it is to see these pics. The custom trikes are really neat. I am still amazed by the amount of interest. Thanks again for this wonderful post.

Redbull's Day in the Dirt 16 was an AWESOME event! so many people gathered together with the same love. gettin dirty. Tons going on at the event including the filming of On Any Sunday III by Bruce Brown Films. CALVMX's 3 wheeler class had some great battles on a very tight, technical course. heres some pics from the three wheelers. TPC Trikes drove all the way out from New York to make this event!

this is a TPC450R. Theyre built using a TRX450R quad. Each bike is custom built to their owners needs. TPC's have been cleaning up on the east coast race circuit and wanted to test their machine against the west coast riders. TPC won the Open class at DITD 16. www.tpctrikes.com

Last round for CALVMX was at Cahuilla Creek MX in Anza, Ca on Dec 12, 2013. Lots of great racing on this cooooold day. Tom Decrescente took the overall win on his BDT prepped 1985 ATC250R, followed by David Ham and his BDT prepped 330R. Legendary pipe builder Kenny Roberts came out to see what its like on an MX course! he loved it. heres some shots!

-Racing will be structured the same way as most CALVMX events: Practice, riders meeting, racing, lunch, more racing, awards.

-Gates will open at 7am, practice will start around 830am.

-Race fees are $30 for CALVMX members and $35 for non members (membership is not required, but is encouraged)

-have your bike prepped with a kill switch (tether style preferred, but stock is OK)
-bring your gear (helmet, goggles, gloves, boots, mx pants and jersey, chest protector (optional but highly encouraged)
