I've seen & heard of all sorts races for many sorts of vehicles but I can't recall ever having heard of racing with trikes. Sidecar racing well known. I'm sure there are 3 wheel 'cars' (haven't looked yet) but 'proper' trikes - nope.

I've done a couple of net searches recently & nada.

So, anyone know of this as a thing? & what a racing trike looks like if they exist?
 
I know in England the have racing trikes you pedal.

But this video does show one racing.

 
Slow Poke???

Fifteen seconds and 67 MPH in 1/4 mile seems pretty slow to me. I think my old Honda, even with it's barn door windscreen could do better than that.....
 
Was at New Hampshire Speedway, Dirt flat track one day when I had my Tri Glide The gate was open I did 5 laps I thought that it be a good class to get going, get some stripped down Free Wheelers & a Ambulance & have some fun :D
 
With all the extra weight a bagger carries, I never thought they'd start racing then but they did. Maybe trikes aren't too far off then.

Yes Kinna slow….But it seems the rider was a nimrod to Drag-racing.. ?.. Having to re-stage (Throws your concentration off,) and short shifting doesn’t make for good ET’s..
