Shenandoah is at Summit Point, WV (4 tracks there: Shenandoah, Main, Jefferson (another good motard tarck) and a kart track). It's about 5.5 hours from here but worth the drive up a couple three times a year. ![]() Here's a few laps there, pretty tame until lap 3 or 4: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...5783613976890# |

Yeah, I am going to stay basic. I found fast50s.com and they have a ton of crap. I'll start with the tires and the bars and go from there. They have nice brake kits, levers, pegs, etc, etc......
There is a another company thumpstar that builds spec bikes for 1600 bucks. I should sell my 50 and send that guy the dough. As for the track, it may be my drive way and back yard! |

It definitely is! My lap times there are 10 seconds faster this year than from when I took that video, but I still use my clutch on upshifts :P. The gear box on this bike just doesn't like clutchless shifting above 5k. It's really clunky about 99% of the time, so I never kept with it.

Whats your schedule for the rest of the season? I may decide to tag along on one or 2 trips and get a feel again if you're not opposed to it

Troy, you really should give mini racing a consideration. Remember, minis and pocket bikes are 2 different things. I have more room on our CR85 than I do on any sport bike, and I'm only an inch shorter than you. You'll have just as much fun, if not more, at a mini track day or race than you will on a big bike. You can push the limits to their extreme and not worry about shredding the bike up or yourself. If you want, you can come along with me next time we go. If we do a SEMRA event, you can ride our bike in the adult novice class. Ask Kaneman, as soon as you get on one you'll contemplate selling your other bikes. LOL Our current setup has 17" wheels, uses the same slicks as the 125GP bikes do. Though, I'm getting ready to sell/trade them off for a set of 12s. The 17s will make you feel just like you're on a "big" bike...but with the flickability of a 180lb bike.
![]() All I can say is...try it! I think we might be doing a mini race/trackday coming up Oct 3&4th. |

Well, there's 2 going on. One is at the "usual" track we go to down in Elgin, SC. That's actually a race weekend run locally by the track. It's not exactly the best track out there, but still fun none-the-less. Then, there's a 2 day trackday at the Herrin's in middle GA. That's the new track owned by Josh Herrin's father. And yes...Josh will probably be there riding.
