I have recently built a board track racer out of some mountain bikes. Is my frame some what suitable for this type of application? Btw im adding more braces and steel plating to the frame

my bad, im trying to say this. Are mountain bike frames suitable enough to build a board track racer with them

If you're using plain steel bikes the tubing in and of itself is probably fine, but your welding ability and joint design is critical. You might make a solid weld, but you'll be affecting the metal's internal structure with the heat. Pass-thru connections/lugging, gussets and the like are probably your best bet. One guy who posted a motor build here had his head tube come loose and had serious injuries requiring major surgery and metal implants in his collarbone and sternum, so be forewarned.
