    It'll probably still have the same asphalt 10 years from now. :rolleyes:

    Honestly, it's not something I'd care to do on a motard. It's got a really long straight and most of the corners are faster sweepers. It's not a tight track. That's just my opinion though.

    roebling has plenty of grip in the dry. wet we won't discuss. pretty good bbq sandwiches. i don't see why a motard would be any different there than it would anywhere else. its still a dirtbike on a roadcourse.

    It's seems like it'd be fun. I'd like to ride it on an rs125 sweeping turns are the best. The track surface looks like someone took a pick axe and started swinging or even worse those damn cars and their hard braking!

    half mile front straight i think? the kicker is comin onto it out of turn 9 is haulin some ass. motard would be fun since if you use the right line theres what feels like a table top at the exit of 9!

    motard bike would be great in the back part of the infield.

    I think front straight is over 3/4 of a mile.

    I want to do a trackday there. 3/4 mile would be so awesome for top speed test on a mini. I think the metrakit 72 could pull 110mph maybe more, 22hp 250lbs(includes me, bike and all the fluids.. Would it strain the motor too hard to keep it on the gas that long?

    In all honesty I am not sure how safe it will be to take a mini out at a trackday. I was scared sheitless riding my 45hp hawk on RA straights mixxed up with bigger bikes at STT track day. I imagine mini's at a shorter track will feel about the same.
