technical difficulties
We are experiencing some technical difficulties at the moment, hang with us while I try to fix the photo upload program……
I talked about the RD350 I built for my dad, but I never said what happened on the maiden voyage. I took it around the block a few times, with no helmet, license, insurance or eye wear on an unregistered bike and there happened to be a cop sitting right on the corner. Of course he pulls me over, just my luck. He asked for the usual, and I had nothing…… Luckily he let me go, but I had to push the RD home. My buddy Lee was lucky enough to be able to take a picture before he lost it from the uncontrollable laughing fits that ensued.
Wonder how he landed?

Tommy Majeski
Tommy is a good friend of mine who got me into Flat Tracking, hell I even bought his old race bike off of him. He is back at it and tearing it up back in Delaware. Wish I was back home to race with him….
His brother and father are in the background, and here is the race report.
HARRINGTON, DE- Six current or former AMA Grand National riders lined up for the 450 A final at the Delaware Dirt Track Association short track race last Sunday (No. 16th) in Harrington, DE.
Less than an inch separated Blackwood, N.J. rider Tom Majeski (Rotax), from fellow National No. 57a rider Kenny Yoder (Suz) when the checkered flag waved. Winning the heat race earned Majeski the pole from, where he fought of challenges from Yoder, former national rider Chris Klinefelter (Hon) and fourth place finisher Mike Poe (Hon) on his way to a wire-to-wire win.
“I knew he (Yoder) was there the whole time,” Majeski described. “I ran low and made him work the outside. Every time I saw a wheel I turned the throttle a little more and held him off for the whole 10-laps. The Rotax bike handled great so I was looking to get out in the lead as fast as I could. The track was nice, really nice.”
According to Yoder; “I was kind of stuck at the bottom and with (Mike) Poe running the outside it wasn’t possible to go up and have two of us up there. So I stuck to the bottom and then on the last lap I tried to go to the high side and came up a little bit short. The bike’s been good all day long. The track’s wetter than normal so I think it was a little better for the frame bikes, but the moto-crossers are coming around, we’re good.”
Majeski also led the way in Vet A. In that feature he beat Cambridge, MD based Bill Boram (Yam) and Henry Mangels. Boram soloed the 70’s Singles feature as did Milford, DE based Jeff Webb in Vet B.
Results
Vet A: 1. Tom Majeski (Rotax); 2. Bill Boram (Yam); 3. Henry Mangels (Hon).
450 A: 1. Tom Majeski (Rotax); 2. Ken Yoder (Suz); 3. Chris Klinefelter (Yam); 4. Mike Poe (Hon); 5. Tyler Kidwel (Yam); 6. Kevin Varnes (Suz); 7.Travis Diem (Suz).
This is a report and picture from another race…..
HARRINGTON, DE-Former National No. 72 Tom Majeski of Blackwood, NJ took top honors at the Delaware Dirt Track event this past weekend. Majeski put his Miller Motors/J.M. Painting Rotax in front and kept it there for ten laps as he held off Suzuki mounted Roy Miller in the vet A final.
Majeski sat on the poll after winning his heat race, and grabbed the lead when the green light flashed with Honda mounted Chris Klinefelter, Tyler Kidwell and Mike Poe in tow. Klinefelter made numerous tries to get by as Kidwell moved up to challenge for second. At the end Majeski held on for the win with Klinefelter, Kidwell, Poe and Miller rounding out the top five.
“That was great,” Majeski said after his win. “My shield fogged up with about three to go, but I just kept it on the bottom and held on. The track was great! You could go inside or out.”
