PITTSBURGH FRIENDS (and all our other friends 🙂) … don’t forget - NEXT WEEKEND, FatPipe Racing and all of our fellow competitors with AHRMA (American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association), will be at Pittsburgh International Race Complex, just 30 minutes north of the city! Here’s your chance get a full weekend, or come for a full Saturday, of Historic and Alternative Modern motorcycle and sidecar racing. There’s a pic of the schedule that repeats both Saturday and Sunday - 14 races each day with multiple classes per race - amazing stuff here folks.
Also, have a look at our thoroughly revised Yamaha sidecar - no promises yet - will be a weekend of testing - but we’ll be there to give you the best show possible.
Please come visit us in the paddock and spend the day with all the racers. MESSAGE or TEXT me for details about coming out for the day or weekend - see you there!

Hey Pittsburgh Friends - FatPipe Racing is BACK in PITTSBURGH in less than 3 weeks time! Come join us at Pittsburgh International Race Complex with all of our fellow AHRMA (American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association) racers for a full weekend of Vintage Motorcycle Racing, Friday, August 15 - Saturday, August 17 ... just 30 minutes North of the city. If you've not been, this is a MUST SEE on your calendar ... I usually tell folks that SATURDAY is the best spectating day as Friday is all day practice and folks start packing up on Sunday after their individual races (you are of course welcome all weekend!).
Please message, comment, or text, with any questions and we'll be happy to share details of getting you to the races ... REMEMBER, this is the closest we'll ever be to Pittsburgh, would be super great to see you all there! Also we will be at Nelson Ledges Road Course in Ohio come September just an hour and a half from the city.
Be aware that FatPipe Racing is bringing MASSIVE revisions to the 2-stroke RD350 sidecar and there will be a lot of testing going on the entire weekend - we'll be there, but no promises on our performance as of yet :-) :-) :-). We are getting there - and we will NEVER give up on the 2-strokes, my friends!
Special thanks to our engine builder, Monkey Supreme, and genuine ROCK STAR still touring on the West Coast with Mephiskapheles and back just in time for Pittsburgh, Adam Bower at Sole Power Scooters. And finally, HUGE thanks to all the folks at Rosedale Technical College, without whose continued support FatPipe Racing would not be able to maintain the calendar that we currently manage. THANK YOU!

PLEASE like us, follow us, comment, find us on Instagram, etc. We have a new social media project and video channels in the works (courtesy Charles Hannah) for late season and full swing 2026 - any support will be greatly appreciated.

Finally - update on the new FatPipe Racing Yamaha RD sidecar from Roebling Road Raceway last weekend. SUPER successful weekend ... poured rain for Saturday and Sunday's races, so not a lot of development time. HOWEVER, practice all day Friday was a great success - our very first laps out were bang on pace with 3 years of development on the old rig - there is MUCH potential here to be tapped! Bike showed good reliability, stable cylinder temperatures, and a quick willingness to rev. We have some teething issues, and we will need to find a bit more power - but all in all a TREMENDOUS first outing. The FatPipe Racing website is still showing from last season - with new photos and updates I hope to have it ready by next weekend. Thanks again to EVERYONE for all of your support and help, particularly our sponsors, friends, and colleagues, at Rosedale Technical College. Barring catastrophe, we will be at Carolina Motorsports Park the weekend of March 14-16. Please stay tuned.

New (reconstituted, as it were) FatPipe Racing sidecar at the dyno with 2 weeks til season kickoff at Roebling Road Raceway in Savannah, GA. More to come as we finish the build, and MANY more to thank - but for now we want to get a HUGE thank you out to Joe Distefano at DiStefano’s Repair and Vintage Restorations for all of his work with us on the dyno. This gives us a really crucial head start as we start the development process all over again! 🤪🤪🤪

"It's the end of the world as we know it ..." The FatPipe Racing Suzuki T500 sidecar is on the bench for a COMPLETE reconfiguration over the off-season ... and the F125 RD200 is coming apart for a full refresh. The T500 will be unrecognizable as we search for more speed and more reliability in a completely new power package; while the little RD has not been overhauled in FOUR seasons. We cannot thank our AHRMA (American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association) racing family enough for all of the encouragement and support shown to us over the past four years. This goes for our personal, non-racing friends, and my colleagues at Rosedale Technical College, as well. The support from everyone has been tremendous - and we will continue to honor your support with a more complete package and more complete season in 2025. I will see you all at Barber Motorsports Park on my street bike as I take a long overdue (20+ years) motorcycle tour from Pittsburgh down to Birmingham. My lifelong friend and RD200 pilot, Cliff Ginger, will be there on his trusty SV and a new secret Alt Mod weapon, just starting development. My great friend, sidecar partner, and two-stroke guru, Adam Bower, will be rock starring elsewhere - but will be in full race mode for 2025. Again - thank you all for your support; "... and I feel fine!"

Pittsburgh friends - if you were coming tomorrow, there are some revisions. There were several serious on track incidents today that have forced a schedule delay. FatPipe Racing will be on track early (around 930) for practice - and then we will race BEFORE lunch. AHRMA (American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association) has worked diligently and there will be a full slate of racing ... but FatPipe will be done by lunch. So if you can come to see us, please come early. And THANK YOU to all of our friends who continue to support us - we will have an even bigger presence next season and can't to see you all.
