I know most of us have seen the two rear wheeled Trike conversions? Can we run them ?
Now what about these new 3 wheelers that have one rear wheel and 2 front wheels? Can they run? If so what class... I know Can Am males them, I will try to find a pic to post.
Thanks

i didnt realize this was a ECTA thread willie buchta

Some years back there was a 3 wheel (rear) class but it went away after a couple of seasons. not much interest with the same two guys running the same 3 bikes. As far as I know the class was dropped from SCTA. Don't know about USFRA or ECTA allowing them. Maybe time only. :roll:

I didn't see him mention ECTA in his post.

ECTA rules questions top of page ---i didnt see it at first either willie buchta

ECTA doesn't currently have a true 3 wheeler class only the sidecar classes like SCTA.
With the ECTA focusing on staying in alignment with the SCTA I wouldn't expect to see it as a class BUT if enough people inquired the race director may consider it.
So for now, no there is not a class for 3 wheels tracking separately.

There's a 3-wheeled Harley Servicycle (sp?) that ran the last Elmer and is pre-entered Time Only for Bonneville.

That kinda answers the class question.

Back in the late eighties/early nineties there was a team that ran three wheeled GS1150 powered trikes. They were a take off of dunes type trikes made for climbing the big sand dunes, two wheels in back one in front, trike style. I don't remember what class but they were fast.
-
the trike is much more stable than a sidecar bike--and probibly more stable than a car --arnt some of the fastest lsr cars in the world trikes willie buchta
-
It has been quite some time since I rode around the yard on my trike a lot. But I seem to remember it was not to stable. Or maybe that was just me.

Jim Fueling changed the rear of his streamlined car to accept a single, wide rear tire, making his machine a three-wheeler. He then ran in excess of the 322 mark of Dave Campos and claimed he broke the motorcycle world land speed record...
