R.D. Stockinger with his latest low racer, the "Alley Cat". It has a Garrie
Hill carbon fiber seat, 16" front wheel, 20" rear wheel, Shimano roller brakes,
and a Shimano Biopace Eliptical chain ring. |
| Thom Ollinger works on his fairing in preparation for the race. Some yellow bike lurks
in the background. |

Ray Brick holds the mini-low-racer that he built for his wife Sharie. He had just
completed it the day before the races. It weighs an incredible 18.5 lbs, and only has 12
spokes in the rear wheel. Ray, as usual has done a beautiful job on this bike. Rumor has
it that he has a matching one in the wings for himself... |
| Dave "Doc" Pearson, and Sean Costin warm up in preparation for the 600/200
individual time trials. Doc and Sean both raced in Interlochen, Switzerland this past
summer. |

 |
Kevin Berls built this suspended carbon fiber low racer a couple years ago, and has
campaigned it successfully. A very pretty bike. |
| Jeff Hunn and his wife, cruise out of the paddock area on their Double Vision. There
were 3 tandems racing on this day. Jeff brought a TourEasy clone, and a Rans Rocket for
some friends to race as well. |

In the foreground of this melange we have Warren Beauchamp looking at his Barracuda,
Thom Ollinger looking at his tub bike, and Thom's friend with his Coroplast flouescent
nosed racer. |
| Wendy Toy, on her Lightning Stealth, prepares for the stock class race. Wendy
came prepared to race against the men if there weren't any women to compete against. The
men were spared.... This time. |

Bill Lozowski (top) and Charlie Ollinger cruising by (albeit at different
speeds) during the stock bike race. Bill is riding his customized Presto SWB, and Charlie
is riding a custom LWB 'bent, built by his dad, Thom. |
| Here's Sharie Brick on her brand new mini-low racer. |

Here's Thom Ollinger in his streamlined "tub" bike. Thom modified it with a
more upright seat angle this year to improve the handling. He is working on a new long
wheelbase lowracer, as well as a slew of other HPV projects in his "Dark World"
labs. |
| This is my Barracuda streamliner resting comfortably on it's landing gear. More Info |

It's Garrie Hill, HPRA co-dictator, taking his Tai Fun (typhoon) mid-racer for a warm
up lap. Garrie added a very nice tailbox for this venue. |
| Here's Rich Sadler on his Medium wheelbase bike. This year Rich added an aluminum
framed, heat molded foam tailbox, which looks pretty slick. Rich has raced this bike for
over 4 years, but keeps it bare metal in case he wants to make a modification... |
