    Now, I would be all over this if Aprilla pitched in. I think I might even have someone to crew for me.:D Oh my, now how am I gonna keep Emma off a motorcycle if I'm out there?

    I think you need at least an associate membership and entries are $20 or so...

    The license for the minis is $25 and it lasts one year. You are not required to have taken any race classes. The races are $25 for each entry.

    Now remember, this is for the mini races and not for entering a regular class with a built mini. For the mini races, since they are just for fun they don't tech the numbers. If you are running your bike in regular WERA classes then you need the same sizes as indicated in the rulebook.

    Quit whining and race the damned thing sheesh.

    Likety - Mikes times were in the 12's all weekend, he never did 8's although that was the rumor going around. He dd do fairly well in CLubman though :D The rider he battled with said all he could hear as Mike came around him was the RM80's pegs scraping...

    So what would be better to hit APrilia up for? Good deals on the bikes or contingency money? I'm hopin to alos try and get somehting together for kids too but don't have any type of plan other than a hazy idea at this point. Maybe something like KTM does at SX races.

    Both! :D

    I read somewhere that Aprilia makes a race only version of the 50 and sells them in Europe for the little'er version of the 250 Cup... Anyone know if this is true?

    I'm hunting for a cheap used street RS50 to convert but would snap up a new one if it were a race model available...

    Go to the link listed above. There's a pic of a raced prepped Aprilia 50. Very cool.

    WILL TALLADEGA BE THE ONLY TRACK IN THE SOUTHEAST TO
    RACE MINI'S?

    For turn 1 you turn right instead of left, come out on the other side of the kink, into Mulligans.

    IN RESPONSE TO SEAN-I THINK DEALS ON BIKES WOULD BE
    THE WAY TO GO. PEOPLE INTERESTED SEEM TO BE LIKE MYSELF,
    LOW ON FUNDS WITH A LARGE YEARNING FOR DRAGGIN KNEES.
    BIKE DEALS WILL STIMULATE MORE PEOPLE ENTERING, CONT.
    MONEY SHOULD BE A GROWTH STIMULATOR FOR THE CLASS, AFTER THE CLASS IS A LITTLE MORE ESTABLISHED.
    BESIDES, WHO NEEDS OPIE AND ACREE'S WIFE CLEANING
    OUT MORE MONEY FOR US DIPSHITS.

    You are welcome, though I think the access road actually comes out right in the middle of the kink, I'm not certain.
