    Ok, who's racing the mini's at Tally and what are you racing on. Im pretty excited, it seems like there might be a decent amount of us.

    Does any one have a 15t front sprocket for an xr-100? If I could buy or borrow it that would be great, thanks!

    I am assuming that those are knobbies. That would be a question for Mongo. I am going to also assume that you are going to be using a flat track style of riding. I can probably have some 16" rims with pirellis on them for you if you want to buy a set. They are the street tires just to clarify. Let me know, I have to see if he has a 15t sprocket any way.

    Bridgestone dual sport tires. Should be OK. And if you don't mind please post some review of their performance so I know what to expect when my XR100 w/ trailwings hits the track?

    The fun set up is a 125GP rain front and a "slightly" worn rear knobby. Ask Stick:D

    they stick good and give better feedback IMO I havnt had them on the edge with the mini yet but Ive mentioned this before, I drag the pegs thru the gap on a stock height XR with them so they hook up pretty good. you can push them but they dont just cut loose all the sudden and they dont tend to just grab back either which is excellent. the only problem area for them is wet or oily pavement, that is certainly a challange at much of a pace. I havw to mention.. they are good on ice too! I got to the store and back OK this week on them.

    I cant make TGPR now, Swainsboro decided to race the first saturday anyway even with the first major flattrack event starting down in Daytona they usually skip..

    I ask because ED says NO on my 250 and 600 for school.. even after I tell him I must have over 50,000 on road miles with several bikes on them. he says they slide to easy..

    I encourage the cheapest hardest rubber you can find to do track days with to my sportscar customers because its much easier to get a feel for the vehicles dynamics and you also have the sound which helps.

    I think its the same for bikes too except the sound!

    Id still like to hear from Mongo about them though. I know it would be fun at TGPR (mini thumpers) and from what Im told they are planing a dirt section there too! allways looking for more places to ride..
