this should help explain

this picture should explain the success and dominance of a country or two in Moto GP

 

that'l do-er.

 

An American lawyers dream...too bad

 

That's too cool. How old do you think they are?

 

I think there are more kids on that grid than the total number of kid road racers in America!

 

That's awesome!

 

That is going to be my kid one day!

 

Hade to swipe that pic, who do I send $ to?

 

I've heard that gokart racing is a school subject in many countries, and that's why we find it hard to compete in racing at the world level.

 

<snip>Smartass comment that would send this thread straight to the dungeon</snip>

 

how many race dads can you spot in that pic?

Wonder what a peewee dirtbike grid looks like in comparison.

 

pretty sure I could wipe the track with all of them.

 

You are exactly right, Scott.

 

We are not all the evil spawn of Satan. The douchebaggery at a kid's dirt bike race makes a BBS pile on look like a teddy bear picnic.

 

I can only imagine the chaos and carnage that would follow the dropping of the flag. I'm jealous they get to do it

 

Run away while you still can! Seriously though, my kid and I have spent more time together racing than I spent with my dad in my entire life. :up:

 

and here is the pipeline, grid up your kids, get active locally..then we merge. I challenge this board to keep this in a positive spirit.

 

:up::up: same here

 

Since when?


Really though, it would be interesting to get a head count of all the <16y/o road racers in the US among all the orgs.

 

The series is the Liga Inter Escuelas, or Inter-school league. I wish my school had that. 150 kids at the end of 2013 participated, according to their website. I can imagine Spanish kiddie roadracing moms duking it out in the paddock!

At least I had rifle club and auto shop. Now they teach kids to be nancy-boys.
