Anyone else planning on showing up to race? Prefer not to have a repeat of Pitt Race where I was the only mini entered.
Well congratulations!!! You won! I'm honestly surprised they ran Minis at Pitt....that's a LONG lap for small bikes. Nelson's fun. Unfortunately, I've had to basically take the season off, but we hope to return next year. Nelson's a LOT of fun.
No more mini’s for us on the big tracks until we build better engines. WOT is havoc for the top end of those Chinese engines.
That's exactly how you're supposed to ride these things . I didn't have my grom very long but when I rode it - I beat on it pretty good.
That's very true. The last race there last season, my son was WOT just as you said....We bought him the Ohvale 110 automatic from @assjuice cyrus because his son had moved to a 110 manual. My kid was ringing that things neck all the way around for the rull race distance. Matt/AJC says to me, "I cannot believe he hasn't blown that thing up yet." You could actually hear the little guy all the way around the course for the full lap giving it all he had. He was the only one entered in Mini50, but be damned if was getting second place. LOL. Still, we had a LOT of fun. I sold that one to another NJMiniGP Dad for his son and he's made it a 110 manual now for his boy. Raced it all this season. He and Alex have had a couple fun battles for position this season.
Sorry no, Sir. Trust me it's killed me to not race/track ride this year. I need to get my Dr. to clear me before I go back out there. I would have volunteered to corner work again at your Summit round, it's close for us, but life got in the way of me participating/assisting that weekend, too. At least the little guy (NOT so little anymore) has gotten to run NJMiniGP a lot, cause I can crew for him...and he's REALLY picked up his game this year. For Pitt, you should honestly see if they'd let you run the Mini/Kart track for the mini classes. Off the cuff, I'm thinking you run it at the day's end like MA does for MiniCup. It's a REALLY nice course...but that probably involves more hassle of logistics than I want to know about with moving corner workers and timing and scoring to that track.
We had Hank's 150 there but WAY too many hours on that things this year to do any more big tracks. Plus the 84mph gearing didn't show up till today lol. Good thing as it ate a roller on the exhaust rocker Sunday at Road America.
