after you guys do that can me and CBRVFR take them out for a little guy race? I think we deserve the chance to ride bikes that are the correct size.

I might just have to bring the YSR200...

CBR929RE

I'm down, bring one and I'll ride it as long as I can get it off the kickstand.

I am so in on this too...if I can get the Polini to start. No, I'm going to get it to start, so count me in. How many laps? Two would be good but I don't think everyone else would want to give up a half day of track riding, so maybe one lap?

Some suggestions for ground rules. Feet are acceptable to help up the hill to 10a, but nowhere else unless experiencing a high side.

Taylor can race the 125 only if he gives us a 30 minute head start. evl-twn has to give us 45 minutes.

bwhip on the Ruckus is going to be a contender, and will give us quite a challenge, but he won't have the aerodynamic bodywork so it's anybody's race.

The winner gets a victory lap on bwhip's 1098. What do you guys think?

The YSR only tops out around 75

maxib

Okay, thanks for the info. I didn't know that. 55 minutes.

Polini? I was thinking of the low $, off branded pocket bikes. Polini's way out of my league.

Depo, looks like we may have to ask Abtech for a second race. Apparently, all these cats think they're in the Big Boy League...

Southern Honda in ATL was selling fiddies at half price again.

I don't know why but once again those damn "fiddies" sound interesting.

If somebody sparks a group buy... post up please

ND4SPD

Doubt they'll do much better than half price. Call 'em up and order one.

I Google'd pocket bikes and came up with a ton of sites with fiddies running anywhere from $200-500. Even found a forum for them...

Granted the upper scale is most likely going to be better quality with mo' power but I'm just in it for the fun of it. Thought about requesting it to be a spec race by just picking the cheapest but I don't want to hamstring anyone's choice of clown car.

So far, the only fair rules I could come up with are:

<50cc
No traction or any other electronic rider aids

And since this is the Big Boy Challenge, anyone weighing less than 240lbs must carry a backpack full of sandbags to bring rider weight up to the minimum 240lb limit.

Of course, this is still all dependent on Abtech approving this
