After a long while of research and testing I was finally able to setup a dynamic Tron Lightcycle trail in Cinema 4D. It was a ton simpler than I thought and it only takes a few minutes to setup! I got the idea from a similar concept done in 3DS Max (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neyPavamOO0). Using the tracer mograph tool and a sweep nurb in Cinema 4D I was able to create the light trails on-the-fly from the animation of the lightcycle.
On my original Tron Lightcycle animation I spent the better part of about 4 days working on the lightcycle trail and it still wasn't perfect. With this technique it would have been done in 5 minutes not considering material tweaking!
