Could I do the 130 club in a homebuilt motorcycle trike thing?
USFRA's website,as metromizer has mentioned, can help with data on that.
They're expecting 'street' cars in this class,so she's got to be registered,insured,and make it through tech inspection.She'll need lap and shoulder belts (minimum),H-rated tires,metal valve stems,a driveline loop if she has a driveshaft,late model Snell Approved helmet with full face shield,and clothing already mentioned.
An on board fire extinguisher is no longer necessary,but not a bad idea.
You'll need some sort of speed indicating instrument,as they may require a handling run at a steady 100 mph.
Battery hold down must be steel.
You might want to contact the tach guys and explain what you're up to,and they'll let you know if any special will be required for the trike.They want you safe 'n will know what to do.
Right now,USFRA membership and 130 club fees are $200.
