DIY Electric Dirt Bike: Test Laps

Another ECRF ride day in the books. The Vet / Arroyo / REM track at Glen Helen Raceway was pretty much cleared out this particular Summer afternoon; great for spinning laps, but also quite warm! Mode 3 (max power) test yielded expected results, she got hot and had to be reset, even though plenty of voltage was left 'in the tank'. Mode 2 (first lap setting) was adequate given the dry and slick conditions, but Mode 3 is simply more fun to ride.
0:57 On track
2:58 Mode 3 engaged
5:25 Stark Varg did not want to play
7:00 Always leave lots of space for the little guys!
8:56 Huffing and puffing
9:40 Reset
11:39 Fin

Was wondering if you had any plans to be at Cahuilla for the OTHG/OTMX races on Sunday Aug. 18th? I've met your dad & Don. You're the missing link so to speak. lol

Not likely at this time, as Summer seems to be less racing and more early AM practice sessions for me! Pops and Don are much more entertaining, by the way - Great characters

Where is everyone? Never seen GH so empty.

Summer Tuesdays, Noon to closing time at Five, are about as thin as it gets!
